What to write....?

I have only been blogging since the beginning of this year. Back when I started, I thought that maybe this could help me be more creative. (I am lacking in that department.) I didn't do a whole lot in the beginning. I really didn't think about this much. Then I made a decision to start working on this more. Now I am thinking about this a lot more of...coming up with ideas. I have a vision of what I want this blog to look like. I am exploring more blogs and it's just so neat to see so much creativity that I never knew existed. My husband is more creative than me and he might be guest blogging from time to time. So I am excited about that too. Hope everyone had a great weekend and keep sharing all those great ideas!!

The Dark Knight- Part 2

I AM IN IT!!!! I AM IN IT!!!! I saw it opening day and it was GREAT!!! Almost 2 hours into the movie I appear on screen. There is a scene where the joker's voice cuts into a TV show and he is warning Gotham City. They show a group of people watching the TV. Well I am right upfront of that group, and they cut back to me a few times!!!

It's very exciting!!! Go see it!!

Boot Camp '08 & Fun Fitness Update

I posted in May that I was taking some Boot Camp and Fun Fitness Classes over a span of two months. I have one last Boot Camp class this coming Monday evening. I am definitely stronger than I was a few months ago. I also feel thinner...if that makes any sense. I guess you could say that I have toned up.


So anyway, I am planning to take a few more Boot Camp classes after Labor Day, but that gives me a 6-week break. I better not fall off the wagon. I am planning to run weekly with a Fitness/Shoe Club that is located close to my house. Maybe there is something similiar by you.


I really feel that being with others pushes you to do more. I can't stop and I can't talk myself in to quitting earlier. In the end, I don't get as good of a workout if I do quit. I'll keep you posted on how things go....

Tristan Prettyman

I have found a new artist that I love. Her name is Tristan Prettyman and she has a new CD called Hello....x. It is just fantastic and I can't stop listening to it. I love all the songs. It flows so well and the mix of music fits most moods that you are in.

Check out this new song "Madly." It's one of my favorites off the new album!

Celebrity Sighting


I got to see a food network star last night at the Cubs game.
Around the 7th inning, I saw this mess of white hair out of the corner of my eye. I had to look because I thought it might be Guy Fieri from the Food Network. There were a few fans around him taking pictures. As soon as he got within shouting distance I yelled "I LOVE YOU GUY."
He looked right at me and said "I LOVE THIS TOWN." It was too cool. I love his show and it was such a thrill to see him. He dresses/lookes exactly like he does on TV. I also bet he would be cool to hang out with too. I never thought I'd see a tv personality that I watch all the time.

The Dark Knight


Well ....I have some exciting news. I worked as an extra on "The Dark Knight." This was very thrilling and the whole day didn't seem real. I got very lucky and I might be in a very pivotal scene in the movie. My husband believes that I will be in it....


I was shooting a scene close to my office and I let some co-workers know where the filming was taking place. They happened to talk with Eric Roberts....(Yeah I couldn't believe this!!) and he talked with the assistant director and got me close to the camera in my scene. Eric Roberts liked my co-workers and invited them to the Drake for drinks. Again the entire day seemed surreal and I can't wait till July 18th. I plan to see this movie a few times. I'll update this after I see it and give more of an idea of where I am. Here's hoping that I make the big screen!!!
