12 of 12 for November 2008
I loved, loved, loved today's 12 of 12!! New to 12 of 12? Visit birthday boy Chad Darnell for all the info. ;)
9:23am: Ahh, I really could've stayed in bed all day. Got a whole 7.5 hours' sleep, which is weird for me, but I enjoyed it! After a bit of iPhone-in-bed action, I left a sleeping Keith (SHOCK! He's usually up with the sun) and started my day with a hot shower.
10:02am: Checking my progress over the past few months on the Wii Fit. Yup. Those dots are my weight tracking... down, down, down. :) I love getting to see the chart over time like that. Really puts the "blips" into perspective! Losing a pound a week for a year is a pretty dang cool thing.
11:49am: The dark blue electric throw (a 1993 gift from Daddy) is one I cuddle up with when it's cold. The light blue fleece robe (a 1998 gift from big brother Bill) is one I wear when it's cold. And the silver monkey (a 2004 adoption from casting sis Deb) LOVES both of these warm things. And my thigh. Which is also probably warm.
1:55pm: After finalizing a casting breakdown that will go out tomorrow, I finally got around to updating the showcase website with this edition's winners and industry supporters. Upload, upload, upload!
3:50pm: Time for a 150-calorie snack! Two wedges of Laughing Cow Cheese (it so makes me smile) and some gluten-free rice crisps. And, of course, water. Frozen water. ;) By Coca-Cola, of course.
5:47pm: Sad hands. Well, just one. I have this ridiculous split fingernail (split the "long way") that keeps coming back unless I baby it like crazy. Rather than getting it snagged on everything and risking real pain, I'm wrapping it in a Hello Kitty band-aid for the night.
6:10pm: I am very skilled at Vehicular Makeup Artistry. It's seriously one of my special skills! (No worries, Keith is driving. This is one of our many rituals: Get Bon to a speaking engagement while she primps. He loves it.)
8:01pm: We've arrived at the panel venue after a wonderful dinner at Marie Callender's with the AFTRA panel organizers and our moderator and fellow panelists. I've introduced Gabrielle Carteris to the wonders of the vodka gimlet and we've exchanged email addresses. I am in 90210 fangirl heaven!
8:13pm: You'd think we're chatting about topics of discussion for the panel. Nope! Gabrielle just has to know where I bought my fancy pants and I'm, of course, not only telling her where but how much they cost. (Such a good southern girl!)
8:24pm: Our casting panel at AFTRA. (L-R) Carolyn Hennesy, Bonnie Gillespie (duh, me), Patrick Baca, Wendy O'Brien, Paul Weber, and moderator Gabrielle Carteris. I am honored to have been asked to be a part of this panel. I'm the "baby" of the bunch, for sure, but I had fun and shared some "cutting edge tips" for the technology lovers in the room.
9:34pm: My NBF Carolyn and I are swapping contact info and tips on the hottest spas no one knows about, both near and far. She's totally hooking me up with a great local day spa and of course I'm hooking her up with Hacienda Hot Springs Inn.
Great day! Great night! Got lots of work done on showcase business and prepping for the casting that rolls out in the morning. Did manage to deliver/mail a few copies of Self-Management for Actors out, but the bulk of that will happen tomorrow and Friday. Phew! It's been a busy month already. Love it!!
Thanks, Chad, for another wonderful 12 of 12 experience. :) Kiss, kiss!

I just got your book from Amazon yesterday, Bonnie! I'm so happy it's that much longer than the 2nd ed.!

Gary, that's wonderful to have lost! I know how it feels to go back up, too, but hang in there. You can get back to a better number on the scale if you've done it before. :)
I'm very pleased with the sleeping too. ;) It's nice!
Cole, THANK YOU! I can't wait to read your review (here or at Amazon.com, of course) and know how you like the changes. :) I really appreciate your support, as always. :)
Thanks!
