Fourth Day of Filming "Single Daddies" (Sun. Jan. 30)

By this day I was completely exhausted.  I don't think I would have been if it hadn't been for the loss of sleep the first morning. So I was late because it was hard for me to wake up that morning.  I was about 1hr late.  I was freaking out, but I would have been late anyway because my sister needed a ride to work and there was no one home to take her. 

The scene we were doing this day was the fantasy scene, meaning I had to look skanky (ugh!)  At first the director was talking about me and the other girl wearing bathing suits and fighting in the bathtub.  Then he changed his mind to the lingerie I wore two days before but at the end he ended up choosing shorts and a cut off blouse.  Of course, I forgot to bring the shorts I wanted to wear and the other shorts I actually brought looked dumb.  The director bought jeans and some blouses for us to cut up but the jeans were super tight and I was not comfortable at all.  I wore them to stretch them out but it was not working. I really didn't want to be on camera with a muffin top!

Well, the day passed and they kept pushing our scene later and later.  It was about 3:30pm when they said we might not do the scene at all until the next day, so I wanted to go home but I decided to stay in case there was time.  I decided to work on cutting the shirts while I waited.  The thing was that there were about three locations we had to go to and each takes time to a long time to create the set.  I ended up riding with the make up artist so that I didn't have to use my car and I didn't want to stay by myself in the house.  We went to the local middle school and shot a scene of one of the guys dropping off the kids at school.  It took about three takes, it was pretty quick.  Then we went all the way from the north side to Sugar Land which is about 30 minutes on the tollway.  This scene was the piano recital scene and there were different angles that had to be shot and about three different scenes.  By the time they were done with everything it was already about 8pm.  They decided were were not shooting our scene after all until the following day.  I went back to the house with someone else and they went off to shoot the final scene of the day which included a friend of mine that I referred to them.

I drove home and prepared for the next day.
