CSI MIAMI EPISODE RE-AIRS

This is part 2 to the episode that aired last week.

Happy July 20th!!!

No, it's not a holiday...but it is a BEAUTIFUL day :). Everything is SO great! Well, actually everything isn't REALLY SOOO great...and yet it is...which is kinda what's so Great about it! Have I confused you yet, lol?

I love it when I feel like this..really just taking an attitude of gratitude. Sure I could be going on a few more auditions, or lost a few more pounds (still 10 lbs away from my goal, but headed there Fast thanks the the beautiful ladies at RPM where I'm currently doing a Battlezone Bootcamp, I could have a little more of this or a little more of that...but SO WHAT?! I have SOOO much to be grateful for and trust me...I am grateful for it ALL! Hmmm...maybe I should make a list of things I'm grateful for...yeah, that sounds good...I'll do it right now!

Things I'm Grateful For:

- First and foremost God's amazing, endless Grace, Mercy & FAVOR! Truly nothing I have done would be possible with God and I am truly, truly GRATEFUL.

- My mama :)

- My beautiful children

- A summer off from my beatiful children, LOL!

- Peace of mind

- A reasonable portion of health and strength (that's what the old folks used to say :)

- My shortcomings. They keep me humble, lol.

- Losing 12 lbs! That's a pretty awesome accomplishment if I do say so myself.

- My adorable stuffed puppy, Jr. I sleep with it all the time...it used to be E's.

- Spell Check

- Raw food restaurants...though the desserts STILL make me fat

- My life in it's totality... good and bad.

It's funny I was talking to my friend the other day on my drive home from upstate. We were talking about how there was no secret to living life and he went on to compare our journeys thus far. He was like yeah Jillian, it's like we lived totally opposite lives. You had kids when you were really young and had to put your career on hold. I sacrificed having kids and a family to work on my career. And the funny part is neither one of us are happy. I was like - Whoa there, what? Lol. I was like let me not give you the wrong impression. I may complain about things from time to time but one thing I can honestly say is that I am very happy. I mean maybe things could be better here or there but that will always be the case. But when I look back over my life, and think things over, all of my good days out weigh my days...plus I'm living my dream...and how many people can truly say that? I am living my dream. And I am grateful. And I have joy. And I am happy. And I hope whoever reads this finds themselves there also :)

We shot on the Paramount Lot. It's amazing that they recreated NY on a little studio lot. The magic of television, lol.

This Cutie played my boyfriend in the commercial :)

NASDAQ Shoot & BOOKED!!

Had my shoot for the NASDAQ commercial spot today....will post pics soon :) We shot on the Paramount lot....it's still crazy to me that they can totally recreate New York City on a sound stage, lol! Everyone was super cool and it was nice, easy, quick and simple. God, I love commercials :)
I'll post some pics soon!

ALSO,

Just BOOKED!!! The Disney Channel's Hannah Montana! This marks my 1st Official Booking my new Theatrical agent and I hope it's the first of many, many more :)

I was kinda surpised that I'm shooting for 3 days b/c it's a really small role, unless there's more to it than I saw at the audtion. Shoot starts tomorrow for 3 days excluding the holiday. I was planning a trip to Chicago this weekend but was having a lot of trouble committing to it (much to the dismay of my friend who was waiting for me to decide) but you see, everything happens for a reason :)

I have to say I feel tremendously blessed to be shooting ALL week long during what is suppose to be the slowest time in Hollywood. To God be the glory! It's a beautiful thing. And I have to admit I needed a beautiful thing after my Ka-razy weekend. I haven't had such a large degree of relationship drama in quite some time...and I must confess...I haven't missed it AT ALL, LOL.

Attempting a relationship can be sooo riduculously challenging...and I do mean RIDICULOUSLY challenging. I have a mix of admiration and sympathy for those who are able to continue struggling through it. That's not to say that everyone is struggling. I do believe some people are make a really good match and have an easier time of it. And it is because of that belief that I simply refuse to accept the former. I'm certain there's a better way. There HAS to be, lol.
