5 days until I leave for Vegas!

Well I am down to the last week before I step on stage.  Honestly it feels like it is dragging however I still have a lot to do before I go so I am sure I will feel differently soon.  Did a leg workout this morning and charlie horsed my hamstring.  I think it is a combination of a tired body and mind.  It wasn't poor form just a body that has had enough!  I am very excited for Vegas, don't get me wrong.  I know once I get there it will fly by and it will be a great event.   I bought a new suit for the bikini competition.  Berns at Passion Fruits Design is awesome and her suits are works of art.  Check out her website!

At home things are crazy busy as usual with my son Chris now playing 2 sports, baseball and football.  Tomorrow is our first tournament for the Blaze.  Of course it is supposed to rain also for the first time in ages.  Go figure.

Had a busy week working with HiDef Productions and Premiere Media doing another dental commercial, interviewed an author and did 2 voice jobs.  I love it when that work comes  in.  Between that and teaching it has kept me very busy, which I feel very blessed to say.

Well, going to glue more rhinestones on my figure suit.  Have a great day.

Wrapping a movie and planning for Vegas!

It has been a while since I have written as my life became very busy out of the blue! I was cast in a new movie which shot well into the wee hours for about one week.  It was a great experience just very tiring one.  I had long drives home from Troon which is about 1 hour from my  house in good driving conditions.  I enjoyed the crew and cast very much.  My good friend Bob Rue was in the movie as my  husband so that made the set even better.  I encourage you to check out his site at RobertRueVoice.com   he is a very talented actor and voice talent.  Sarah Wilson is a lovely young actor that will do big things so be on the lookout for her and Jose Rosette also played a predominant role which was great to watch.

When the movie finished I felt like you do when vacation is over.  Kind of out of sorts for a few days.  I was shooting and then working out, going to baseball practices and of course teaching at the college and online.  My house fell apart and I had so many clothes and bags in my car it looked like I was running away from home.  Now everything is back to normal pretty much.  I have my attention fully on nationals coming up in a few weeks.  It is so hard finding a balance with working out, proper diet and rest.  I am looking good and hope to tweak a few things before show time.  I have begun 2 a day workouts now and I am afraid other things will take a back seat until Vegas is over.  I leave on Oct. 18 and come home the 21st.  Besides competing I have scheduled with a few photographers to shoot with them to expand my website.

Good news today was that I was cast to play a dentist in a commercial and that shoots on Tuesday.  Always good to have bookings coming up!  
Well that is all for now! have a great week.
