Well, I flew into Cheyenne yesterday, leaving LA at 6:00am! I had just enough time to land and get to set! Airplane seats have become my new bed!! So, running on no sleep is something I'm used to. I feel like a parent with a new born baby....very sleep deprived....except without the baby.
It was snowing when I arrived, windy, cold, and even though I'm Canadian, I will never get used to the cold. All because you're Canadian doesn't mean you like the cold! Have you noticed how many Canadians flock to Florida every year?
So off to the set from the airport I go. I met Francais and Bill Tormey, they are a military family and have moved 5 times in the past 16 years. Which might seem like a lot, but not long ago I was a struggling actress in NYC and moved 15 times in 6 years! I was an immigrant new to the US. I didn't have credit history, much money, just graduated from school, couldn't put my name on a lease so I had to sublet. Sublet to sublet and so on. Maybe one day I'll write about those days in a blog. All I can say is that if I could do it all over again.....I'm not so sure I would. My 20's was the most difficult time in my life.
BUT....on the other hand, I am one of the lucky artists blessed to experience a wonderful career and life in the past few years. Most of my friends are still struggling. I thank God everyday for what I have and the crazy exciting life I have created.
Last night was Rogers birthday, so we all dressed up in our cowboy best, ate dinner at Poor Richards and afterwards they went line dancing at the Outlaw Saloon!! I wasn't feeling too well and fell asleep the second I stepped foot in my hotel room!
Today, we are all busy at work moving furniture, having fun with the 3 Ferrets and 3 cats, lots of commotion!! Roger is pacing back and forth making sure everything is running smoothly. I am furiously typing away. There are so many family members doing all the work! Its GREAT! Certa Pro painters just showed up to paint what we don't get finished. The first picture is Roger and I with everyone working in the background, and the second shot is my producer Lee Christofferson pausing for a moment from painting to cover up Chads butt cheeks while I take a photo.
Its FREEZING in here!! I am always complaining I'm cold and Roger is always saying he's hot so its a constant battle! Ha!
Until next time.......
