One Week Ago Today

One week ago today I was preparing to leave Colorado and enjoy the beautiful sun and beaches of Key Biscayne, FL. Well here I am and I love it...the weather is wonderful, the beach is beautiful - even though I've been suffering a burn for a few days, and the work is totally hard, but right up my alley.


My Condo-mates are fun! I have four of them. Auravelia is from Canada - she's my roommate...we enjoy late night talks and staying up till the wee hours of the night talking and commiserating. Her family's from Nicaragua, but she most recently lived in Canada - so she speaks English, Spanish and French. I feel like a giant around here because she's shorter than I am, but full of energy and praise for Pope Benedict (her favorite alive person). She reminds me of Shannon Wallace - full of zeal. :-)

In the room next to me, we have Amy and Karla. Karla's from Cancun, Mexico and speaks with a beautiful Mexican accent and makes all the guys heads turn. She's one of the most spiritual people that I know and has quite the devotion to the rosary that we have all started praying it every night before bed. Amy has an amazing sense of humor and we are both VERY sarcastic with each other! She's hilarious - by far the funniest person I've met from Nebraska, or maybe the only person I've met from Nebraska and I swear one day she will be writing and directing for SNL!

Alexa lives by herself and it's a good thing too because she's got enough shoes for everyone in the house...It's ok with me - I wear a size 8 too! She's the drama queen - not in the bad way. She is the actress of the house so her expressions are dynamic, her laugh is just as big as mine and she speaks her mind - good, bad or ugly! She's got great facial expressions (always a good photo face), big beautiful eyes that catches your attention when she talks and a passion for what she's doing. She reminds me of Katie Corder!

We've all adpoted using the phrase "hey bitches" - to be said in a high-pitched squeal...yes, mind you, we are all Catholic women!

I'm known around the house (and the office for that matter) as the Lindsay Lohan look alike - I don't see it, but each of the girls individually has told me I looked like her when I met them all separately - even the day interns and friends who have come over to the house have said there is some resemblance...this isn't even the first time that I've gotten this comment! The girls took photos tonight to show their friends that they "met Lindsay Lohan."

We had a Mexican fiesta last night with my famous taco salads. Monday night we enjoyed Sushi boats at Sean Wolfington's house (the executive produer). He lives in Cher's old house - literally with the ocean in his back yard!! The picture above is one that we took in his foyer...the paintings behind us were made by the assistant director of the Passion. VERY COOL!
