* I mowed and semi-trimmed the yard.
* I went for a run.
* I slept for about ten hours last night, so I'm well-stocked on rest.
* I'm about to have a laundry marathon.
* As soon as the dishwasher finishes its run, I'm going to bake peanut butter cookies and contend with the zucchini-on-steroids I acquired.
* I will prepare for the Sunday School lesson I may or may not be present to teach.
* I guess when all that's done, if I still haven't been called, I'll go back to scrapping!
Meanwhile, here are some pictures from this week. I was an extra in a commercial-type video shoot for our office's website. There will be four separate shoots, and the first two were this past week. I couldn't make it to the afternoon shoot, and I was sad about that. But in the morning...
...our set was the coffee shop. My friend Jonathan served as the barista (or "bartender" as he called it) and my friend Rachel was the customer. She was very patient, since she waited over an hour for a drink he never made! LOL. He did a great job of pretending to make coffee, though. He also did a great job of sending away the five people that wandered through to ask for coffee...apparently oblivious to the large camera and lighting things just a few feet away.
These two girls, Rachel and Maggie, were my pretend-coffee-drinking buddies. We sat at a table behind Brittany (who is standing up in the background) while she read for this part of the shoot. Maggie (in the red shirt) was a fabulous fake-drinker. I just stirred my coffee...which was actually whipped cream in a cup. :)
And this guy right here was the highlight of our experience. He wandered through, asked for coffee (which of course, we didn't have), and then sat down just out of view of the camera. He promptly fell asleep and started snoring so loud that the mic picked him up. So one of the camera guys "tripped" over a chair behind him to wake him up.

I love the "extra" guy! Reminds me of one time we camped on the beach in San Felipe in Baja. This absolutely drunk guy came to our campfire, sat down in one of our chairs and passed out. One of the guys in the group put a bag of chips in his arms, and when he woke up for a short time, he just started eating the chips as though he'd been doing it all along.
Lack of coffee can do that to a guy too. Poor man...
LOL I like your story, Skyepuppy!! What are these people thinking???
