Happy Birthday, Daddy! Today would have been my daddy's 82nd birthday!! Wow, my pappa was rollin stone...lol...he was already in his 50's when I was born. And you better believe he spoiled his little girl! E reminded me a lot of my father in that way. Don't get me wrong, I'm a pretty independent woman, but it sucks to lose the only 2 men on the planet who love you more than they love themselves...really it does. But when I consider that many people will never experience that kind of love, I have to admit that I'm pretty darn lucky to have had it twice.

Good news! I made it to both my audition and the workshop today, which is great! I didn't realize that both Christal and Angie from Liberman/Patton would be at the audition. Whew...GLAD I made that one! The workshop was also very good...the guest, Scott, recognized me from fff and actually spoke about it and two other actor "reality" shows. He offered a very interesting take on the shows and said that he found them to be very educational for actors to watch. He was very complementary which was very, very cool...especially considering how much angst I had over doing the show. Instead of having us do a standard scene, Scott had us do an improv exercise. It was a bit challenging but very interesting and a nice change of pace.
