Why I Love L.A....

Well, this past week has been quite a juggling act. I've been driving constantly; back and forth from work, (meetings, appointments, door to door sales) made two trips to the airport to pick up some friends from Colorado, had two emergency dental visits to save a tooth that broke on Wednesday (pretty traumatic let me tell you) and had one AWESOME day on a movie set with Gerard Butler (of "300" and "P.S. I Love You" fame). Lol, talk about a busy week, some good events, some experiences downright stressful). Monday I was scheduled as an extra on the film "The Ugly Truth" with Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl. So much fun. That's one thing I love about Los Angeles, you can see how films/tv shows are made from behind the scenes as an extra. I got to hang out on set with Gerard/Katherine/the crew the entire day and got paid (okay, so $68 + overtime isn't that great, but the memory sure was worth it, haha) Filming took place at the Union Station in downtown L.A. There's a restaurant/Latin nightclub in there and I was supposed to be a Salsa club patron. It was a fun day. I was feeling a little under the weather some of it but for the most part I really enjoyed my time. Mr. Butler is a really down to earth guy, very friendly to everyone and rather handsome and charismatic.

As for the other events of the week, my back tooth was saved after 4 hours at the dentist/in the dental chair and three strategically placed metal posts were put into the roots of my tooth to basically reconstruct it again. All of this happening while I'm busy working a new sales job and my friends from Colorado have flown in (on a trip planned months ago) Who would have thought I'd be in such a dire situation but I'm praying things improve.

Well, I better head to bed as I have to drop one of my friends off at the airport in the morning. YAY, more driving, lol!
