10 Days

I should’ve started a blog when I started producing this movie. Oh there would’ve been numerous horror stories about the blood, sweat and tears (all mine) that go into making an independent film. Mostly I’ve repressed the bad in an effort to protect my self from insanity. However, now I fear all that is left is craziness. Craziness of rushing towards a deadline when we know that we are not going to be able to complete a finished project. Craziness that comes from sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours during my day job and then another 4-5 hours while trying to finish the film (no wonder I have infiltrates in my eyes!!) Craziness that comes from being so close to completion that I can taste it…almost.

*sigh*

That being said this next week is going to be a bitch. I do not have time to wash dishes, clean my sinks, sweep the kitchen floor, do laundry, mow the yard, read, hang out with the Boy, watch tv, surf the ‘net (well, at work I do but I’m blocked from so many g.d. sites!!), make lovely dinners, hang out with friends, get ready for the garage sale or finish editing my cousin’s wedding. Ugh. I am on overload. And I really miss the Boy…(thankfully he lives with me now so at least I see him here and there….).

I just want it to end.

If I can muster the energy I’ll start posting various production horror stories…perhaps the “Carrster’s car gets totaled during day 4 of production” from the first film I made… or “Specially made ‘red-eye’ contacts disappear from Carrster’s house – new contacts ordered but are stuck in customs in Nashville!” or “Where the hell did the film go?” followed by personal anecdotes…”why do the cats have to spray in the house.” And “oh my god, the kitchen floor is so dirty I want to puke.”

I need a vacation. DESPERATELY.

And – the countdown to Sundance Deadline – 10 days.

*gulp*

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
