Yesterday was all in all, a pretty good day. Greg and I woke up and headed into Manhattan early because we had free tickets to Martha Stewart's 1,000th Show! We were lucky enough to score 2nd row seats and in celebration, there was a tower of 1,000 cupcakes which we had the opportunity to partake in. And they were yummy! Her special guest star was Seth Myers from Saturday Night Live. They we talking about Ball Canning Jars and said that everyone in the audience was getting a Canning Jar Starter Set. Sweet! She also had a famous chef, but I didn't know who he was. Whoopsie! They made cocktails in a fancy blender that was retailed at $500. Martha then announced that everyone in the audience was getting that blender to take home!! I was amazed! I love to cook and I've tried to build my kitchen with reliable items that will last (which aren't cheap), but I never thought I'd own a blender that was worth $500!
After the show I went to an audition. They were looking for a 20-something female who played ukulele. That's me! But after I got there I started feeling really sick...
A few days ago my throat started hurting, but luckily it went away. So yesterday I thought maybe I had beaten getting sick, but then it started. My head was stuffy, I could hardly talk, and I knew I needed to go home and go to bed. So I asked the monitor if she'd give my headshot and resume to the casting director because I wasn't feeling well, and she said that she would definitely do that and for me to go home and get better. She was very nice about the whole situation. So I went home, rested, and slept in today. I needed sleep and fortunately I didn't have any auditions today. I have a few auditions tomorrow (Friday) so I'm using today to rest my voice and take care of myself. Hopefully I'll be on the uphill side of things by tomorrow. :)
