Day 1

We completed our first day of shooting at about 1am last night. Right on schedule. Aside from a lot of a-holes who drove by shouting (apparently our big lights made a spectacle) and the countless cars with seemingly NO MUFFLERS on them that drove by, I think things went really well.

The shots were gorgeous, we even pulled out the dolly. I felt *fairly* comfortable on set and yelling "action." I worked with the actors. I talked with the crew.

Of course this morning I got an email from....someone...who has completely made me feel like crap about the whole evening and has punctured my confidence in such a way that it will be hard to recover in time for tonight's shoot.

Right now I'm hating my life. Which pisses me off...because I should be loving it!

I'm sending you my magic invisible suit. It deflects such comments.

I'll probably need it back next week though. ;)

Hang in there. You are doing something amazing and brave. You've really got guts, plus a caring heart. That's a tough combo to manage.

Try to ignore the haters. Please. I know, easier said than done. Just know that there are tons of people out there who think you're awesome and doing what you do best and the meanies can go suck it. I mean it.

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!
