WOOF

I am trying to put everyone to work! Frank (now 6 months)was close to getting his 1st commercial yesterday. When getting the details for the Providence Community commercial, I was asked if I had a dog. Why yes I do...I had to wait by the phone for more info. We waited with bated doggy breath~ unfortunately Frank is still unemployed. Although the dog they did choose was very similiar looking, she had very good dawgy manners. Sorry Frank maybe next time.

Go Gladiators!

I had mentioned before about the Las Vegas Gladiators. It is the Arena Football team that plays at The Orleans. What I failed to mention is that Payless Car Rental is one of the Gladiators sponsors. So we enjoy complimentary seats. The boys enjoy going to the games and I tag along being the good sport that I am... Mark has a friend from school that goes to the games, so we do not see much of him during the game. Unless of course he wants munchies! Apparently Mark's friend has better seats! If you have not checked out Arena football it is not too late - but be prepared for a fast-paced football game with a little hockey thrown in.

On Easter we took the boys to the game. At half time Rob took Michael down to the pit. The Gladiators sponsored an Easter egg scramble (no pun intended). There were Easter eggs all over the field and kids 0 - 12 years old were let loose. They were able to find 1 egg and inside was a prize. Michael's prize was a free Slurpee from 7/11 and a free ticket to the Brendan Imax theater. He was thrilled! (see photos)

To Bunco or not to Bunco

MY LO ~

I have to give a shout out to my Bunco babes. You ladies rock! On Thursday we had our monthly Bunco game at my house. For one (lame) reason or another we did not have enough ladies to play. Did that stop us? Noooooooo. I have not laughed that long or that hard in a long time if ever. We had an amazing time, sitting around this little card table talking, joking, teasing and even witnessing. (Zee, I still wanna hear it!) I just wanted to thank you ~ you know who you are!

T.G.I.F. (Thank God I'm Filming)

I am so blessed! I just got called to shoot (background) C.S.I. next Tuesday. Can you believe that? The original C.S.I.! When I see Grisom I may faint.

The down side to that is - it is also Rob's birthday. And it looks like it will be a late afternoon call, which means filming into the evening. The kids and I will celebrate with Rob on Wednesday.

Work Work Work

Friday April 20th

This afternoon (after our auditions) I went to NW Las Vegas to shoot a commercial for Providence Homes. We (myself & 7 others) were neighbors out on a Spring day. Yeah right. We shot outside in the model home area. It was so cold, dark and windy you would think it was Winter! We wrapped in 3 hours. Finally a local airing gig.

Auditions Auditions Auditions

Friday April 20th

Today Michael and I both had an audition! Wouldn't that be cool if we get to be in ths same commercial? It was for Winder Farms out of Utah. They deliver farm fresh milk, eggs bacon etc. no additives ~ hormones etc. to Utah and Las Vegas.

Although he was playing shy Michael did very well for his 1st live audition. The casting director Ms. Vicki and her assistant Rose (also my acting coach) were very patient and kind. Mikey is still talking about how he gave kisses to Ms. Rose!

Wish us luck!  

Michael is a Prince!

In March Michael competed in the Spring 2007 Hawaiian Tropic Pageant. The theme was summer beach/swim wear. He looked adorable in his lime green T-shirt and shark swim trunks. He did very well for his 1st (beauty?) pageant. Michael placed 3rd overall...so his 2 ft. trophy says:

"Hawaiian Tropic 3rd Prince".

And he won the "Most Beautiful Hair" category ~ In my opinion it was a gimme. : )

Celebrity Sightings...

April17th

So there I am in Albertsons in the seafood department looking for some yummy salmon. I am chatting away on my cell when I look up and there is "The Hoff"! You know him. Tall, dark & shirtless...Mr. Baywatch himself, David Hasselhoff. So with my vast months of experience around actors and such, naturally I struck up a conversation. He was hurried but kind. We discussed his crab legs (in his cart, not his body) and his starring role in the show "The Producers". May 6th will be his last performance due to scheduling conflicts with another show "America's Got Talent". He called me "kid" and wished me well.

(I forgot all about the salmon I was buying!)

This just in...

How excited am I? On Monday Feb. 5th my friend Michelle called and asked me if I wanted to be an "extra" in a movie.

Well, yeah...ok, so I was on the set for hours filming for the upcoming movie "21". The story is based on 6 MIT students who learn how to count cards ~ They go to Vegas and win big.

Apparently there are other films with the same name. So look for the movie under the title "Blackjack".

Oh did I mention...the movie stars none other than Mr. Kevin Spacey!

Also featuring:

Kate Bosworth credits include: Superman Returns & Blue Crush

Masi Oka from TV's Heros

Laurence Fishburne from the Matrix Triology & Akeelah and the Bee

Liza Lapira ~ NCIS Special Agent Michelle Lee (Probie Jr.)

We filmed on location at the new Red Rock Casino. Look for the night club scene and you just may get a glimpse of me. I was pretty close to the actors. I hope I don't end up on the cutting room floor! Columbia is filming thru the end of the month. Hopefully, I will get called back...wish me luck.

I also got paid for this gig, can you believe that? Too much fun.

Sidenote: Kevin had his dog Campari on set with him.

The Story of St. Valentine

Rome. 3rd Century. Claudius II (the Cruel) Gothicus, Emperor.

The Emperor Claudius II ruled with a iron fist, he was abusive and waged many wars. Claudius successfully waged so many wars that his military enlistments were down. He believed that Roman men loved their families so much that they did not want to leave them behind. So Claudius came up with a very cruel plan. He canceled all marriages & engagements in Rome. The people of Rome feared him, so they did not stand up to him.

But a simple Christian priest did stand up. For love that is. His name was Valentine. He began to secretly marry soldiers before they went off to war. When Claudius "the Cruel" found out about the secret ceremonies, he had Valentine thrown in jail. Valentine faced the ultimate punishment. Death.

While waiting to be executed Valentine fell in love. The jailer's daughter had won his heart. It is said that he wrote a sonnet to her so beautiful it made the blind girl see. (Having no writng instruments,it is also said that he wrote that sonnet from ink squeezed from violets.)

The very next day Valentine was clubbed to death by the Roman army.

Valentine's sacrifce for love made history in ancient Rome and centuries later it is alive and well. St. Valentine being granted Sainthood by the Catholic Church is celebrated on February 14th because of the ancient belief that lovebirds begin to mate on that very day.

What would you do for love?

Celebrity Sightings...

Sushi, Sake and Sightings!

My wonderful husband Rob whisked me out to Social House (Treasure Island) for my birthday. It is the "place" to see and be seen. Celebrities and Politicos dine at Social House nightly. We enjoyed the ambiance, the sushi (yum-o) and the great service! While seated in a prime spot for looky - looing I spotted Norm. Norm is a writer for the Las Vegas Review Journal. He writes a daily column called "Las Vegas Confidential" a tell-all about the comings and goings of celebrities, who-did-what-with-whom and all about the hot spots in Las Vegas. He has all the dirt. I read his column even before I have my coffee! I just knew he would write about meeting me. I scoured his article that weekend looking for any mention of my name. There must be a misprint, a typo something because I did not find my name. Norm wrote about Prince (as in the Artist formally known as...or is...you know who I mean) being at Social House that night but not me. I am gonna have to give him an earful.

Our Sorority Girl

Our beautiful daughter Krystal has joined a christian sorority at Baylor University. Krystal is now an active member of the Sigma Phi Lambda Sorority. Sigma Phi Lambdas are required to attend church on Sunday and join a bible study. The SPL's also sponsor a christian service project every month. We are very proud of her and pray that her life is blessed & enriched by her works of service.

Prayer of the Week

We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
