Happy New Year

This New Year has started out great! I've already had one film audition, with one more on Thursday evening. I have a booking for a witness re-enactment on Thursday and Friday as well!  I've been to a great New Year Gathering and now Lonna & Jett are coming in for the week end.

Friends are so important. I have some of the best, I'm so grateful for such unexpected blessings.

I love you 2011 !!!

Wish I Didn't Need Food : Barbie Didn't

Approaching the Holidays makes me sad without the Food Issue. So I am writing to mysellf today. Kay, you do NOT have to eat things people offer you, nor do you have to bake or cook things for others. Take a walk, Journal, Get a Pedicure, Look at Baby Jett's pictures, anything can take up 15 min and then it passes. You are up 5 lbs since last year at this time. So TODAY you are on your way back to 2009's Holiday weight! Yea! Barbie I love you!!! You look marvelous! I want to look like you !

No MORE extra work ... ever !!!!

Most of the time I appear fabulously 'together' while underneath I am unraveling. Like the other day being background for "The Preachers Daughter"  as The Well To-Do Lush. A favor to my sweet friend but it's an unraveling to a working actor. So it's hightime I confess, with God as my witness,  "I will never do extra work again!"

"Bernie" Audition in Austin, Finally !

Okay .....  I finally got THE audition I've been waiting for.  A chance to be in the Richard Linklater film "Bernie"!!!! It stars Shirley McClain and Jack Black. I've been boldly asking both my agents to submit me. Then I found a self submission page which I submitted two very different tapes of my own created characters. Well finally, my Dallas Agent called Monday night saying I was to go to a Straight To Director Audition the next day! I had quite a few lines to learn but I took off to Austin on Tuesday Sept. 14th. It went pretty well. I was to be a "Proper" lady who talks from her back porch. I did get a little tongue twisted on two words, "genuinely" and "proclivities"..... I saw Richard Linklater out of the corner of my eye, he looked a little "WTHey?"  But I think I did well overall and this will also be cast for a "Look". I shall see!!! I've been quoting  Proverbs 22:29 "Do you see someone who excels in their work? They will not work for the obscure, but for the significant."  On the drive back to Houston, I thought, "I just stood before a six time Oscar winning Director and an Emmy winning Casting Director. The words I've been speaking have led me to where I am today. Keeping positive words in my mouth is so important! Life and death are in the power of the tongue.

Emmy Scrumptious

The three of us actresses arrived at Studio "G" in need of soul resuscitation, after a long week of auditions ourselves,  found pure pleasure. Glasses of wine were poured, hot tub was bubbleing, gift bags handed out, flat screen TV on the patio and dinner on the grill. My two friends are as big of camera whores as I am. We tote them everywhere! Thought you might want to see our Emmy night under the big Texas outdoor starry sky.
