Well, if all goes to plan, I will be again!! For FOUR days! Man, I am soo excited: I got a call this morning from one of the casting agents seeing if I am available next week and I said YES. She's calling back this afternoon with the details. Next week is the last of my school break (the last week I'm open to do background work) and I've called in soo many times this break but never got through the lines. Now they called me! EEK. Anyway, since I signed up two years ago, they've called me twice for this show (out of three calls total) so apparently I look like I'm from middle Indiana. Not sure how I feel about that. haha.

This picture was days after I did it and I had never bothered to top coat the nail so the black was wearing off. OH but with this sad, poor example of Konad's magic, I caught the eye of a girl who was working at a thrift store. She asked if I did it myself and if so, how on earth I did it! She asked my to write down the name on a receipt top so I did.

I drove to camp (in Washington) with friends and had such a great time, the day camp ended, hanging out in Portland for the afternoon with more friends from Arizona then caravaning back with them. It was a really long trip (we drove straight through back to Los Angeles) but we switched passengers and drivers between the two cars all the time which made for quite the awesome drive.

I have puppy on the brain. My brother and his girlfriend brought home a puppy today that needs a home. She's an </span><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">adorable</span></i></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> black lab mix who is 6-8 weeks old and too cute to ignore even for a second! I really thought she was ours but I guess we (parentals) are going to try and find a home for her. Today we FINALLY began a construction project on our house that has been years in planning so having to manage another dog with all the gates open and chaos around the house just wouldn't be good. Plus, as nice as labs are, when the time comes for a new puppy we definitely have our hearts set on a different breed. Anyway, I am </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">loving</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> up on her like mad until she finds a good home.

I love themed nails to match an occasion, and this was perfect for the event. Our concert dresses were black so didn't want my nails to contrast too much with my dress, hence the inverted design colors. I did a super subtle holographic topcoat to add a smidgen of bling. They're simple and a little smudged, but they worked perfectly for the concert. :) </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBriZGIPczrZ1cJgtOog8WXp05bFU6jhPHUbzGzIdm-w4WEz6gV4rnPF2rfoM2wXoUSPdw-DiSVVyWmNK-hevRJdrMaoZ3HFyHsdquDGSSALbZ2AQZIgjTrrNx0dkTKd3EJ0P51NYYWyf6/s400/DSCF4035.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420017884760922770" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDj4LwUhl6SMQyQ4POlUepy8JHUMOKwlhO_dC70vJV5_T3EXtY9hIH-RQzrVV9OVOkLwpD4nyoJgEECFo7W9-X0RQWhNEZ3l4buxqqzn_2CGN5I_rnFJmZ-xbsdoyhZknpSi86k7wPh9jK/s1600-h/DSCF4039.jpg"></a></span></span></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDj4LwUhl6SMQyQ4POlUepy8JHUMOKwlhO_dC70vJV5_T3EXtY9hIH-RQzrVV9OVOkLwpD4nyoJgEECFo7W9-X0RQWhNEZ3l4buxqqzn_2CGN5I_rnFJmZ-xbsdoyhZknpSi86k7wPh9jK/s1600-h/DSCF4039.jpg"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDj4LwUhl6SMQyQ4POlUepy8JHUMOKwlhO_dC70vJV5_T3EXtY9hIH-RQzrVV9OVOkLwpD4nyoJgEECFo7W9-X0RQWhNEZ3l4buxqqzn_2CGN5I_rnFJmZ-xbsdoyhZknpSi86k7wPh9jK/s400/DSCF4039.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420017896045410450" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">And yes, we had to sing in chinese!!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Jessica Leighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18080368451594320538noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400324105568245659.post-84899268045496303982009-12-20T11:26:00.000-08:002010-03-07T14:58:45.934-08:00The Middle<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLCZYhVOFafEf2d4Ovw41HwbHzP7c-MvDvNBeX7YXKt-iKGhaN9XpQWNF8HdTtAK4GqnFKvsnHoveLqxS62bJXT7KDocYoN1H8nLr5mfExzxqLQxg7EMj58urWM9B3jwNKSnOT59CxhEBl/s1600-h/list.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLCZYhVOFafEf2d4Ovw41HwbHzP7c-MvDvNBeX7YXKt-iKGhaN9XpQWNF8HdTtAK4GqnFKvsnHoveLqxS62bJXT7KDocYoN1H8nLr5mfExzxqLQxg7EMj58urWM9B3jwNKSnOT59CxhEBl/s400/list.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417411826938906594" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I got to be an extra again this week which is WONDERFUL because I am in </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">dire</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> need of funds! :) During my hours of sitting around waiting to be needed on set, I made a list of highlights and lowlights, if you will. </span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Highlights</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">-CA/Summer themed napkins to make lists on</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">-Catered lunch (w/tons of choices including AMAZING bad-for-you mac & cheese.
