Skunk Ape Role

My family and I decided to pack up and leave to Miami on Thursday night.  I drove all night long and all day long only stopping for gas and restroom breaks.  It took me 20 hours to get there...lots and lots of caffeine.  I drove the whole time because I know when Mom and my aunt drive it takes longer and I really wanted to make it to the Memorial Service on time.  We made it to my uncle's house an hour before the Service.  The fact that we went there to be with him made a huge difference for him.  He feels much better now.  We spent Friday, Saturday and Sunday there.  Sunday night we decided it was time for him to get out of his house for a bit and get a bit distracted (it didn't do him any good to be locked in his house crying all day) so we took him to walk around Bayside and it was a great idea.  It really did help him.  We drove started driving back to Houston at 4:30am Houston time and got here at 1:30am this morning.  Everything was fine except the fact that we left two of our dogs with someone to take care of them and they lost them =( (Our dogs are 6 in total...well 4 now).  They left them in the backyard and the doggies dug a hole and escaped.  I spent the day posting fliers up around the area they got lost with my sister, but no luck yet.  We were supposed to get back and take care of installing floor in our house but now we're going to have to move that back because we want to find our babies. 

On the acting part, the filming of the role for Skunk Ape is getting done this weekend.  I have to drive to Dallas on Thursday night and film it on Friday.  It shouldn't take long though but who knows.  It might just be the whole day.  It's a very short scene and my character doesn't even have a name =( Oh well, you gotta do what you gotta do.  It's better than nothing and I believe it is getting ImDb credit so it should be worth it.  The only small problem is as I was looking through the script today, I saw that I have to kiss a guy.  My boyfriend was right there with me when I read that part so I just had to tell him and ask him if it was ok with him.  He said it was fine but he looked weird...like it did bother him.  Well, I just don't know what to do.  I think not doing the kissing part in the Single Daddies scene was a mistake because they might not take me as a serious actress.  It's part of the job.  But at the same time, I'm not even getting paid for this yet so I don't know.  I'm going to have to do it eventually so might as well get the first time over with.  The scene itself sounds pretty fun.  I play this psycho ex-girlfriend.  Very small scene lots of drama.  I'll write how it goes when it happens. =)
