Day 76 in LA.....October 2012

Well to all my friends and family.....here I am writing my last entry on the blogsite. I think? Who knows....I may keep writing from time to time to update you all on what is going on with Shea out in LA. Today was spent cleaning....organizing....taping lists up everywhere for Shea (sure those will be ripped down as soon as I'm gone!) and finishing up my packing. I drove Shea to her 4:30 audition for a guest role on "Suburgatory." Sam (the guy Shea is seeing) came walking up carrying a bouquet of flowers....he lives nearby and wanted to see Shea and give her the flowers when she came out of her audition. Is he sweet or what? :) Anyway, while we were waiting for Shea....Sam's manager called him to tell him he had gotten the part! He auditioned for the "high school boyfriend" on "Suburgatory" this morning! Soooo happy for him! I took Shea to Whole Foods ~ to show her around the store ~ and where all the things were that she would want. Then we grabbed a bite to eat. Now we are just going to snuggle on the couch and I'm going to try to not cry! Sam is going with us to the airport in the morning. I am excited to get home to Chris! Til the next time.....

Days 74 and 75 in LA.....October 2012

Hello.....yesterday I went to Bible Study....the ladies had a little going away luncheon for me ~ which was very sweet....I sure am going to miss those wonderful girls! Shea worked on her two papers that were due today. We went to another agent meeting yesterday afternoon. Today Shea was up and gone early for her classes at PCC. I did laundry....organized and cleaned the apartment....and wrote lots of lists for Shea...ha! I walked to the CVS to get meds. for Shea and I...gave Gracie a bath...and starting my packing. :( Shea is at her acting class tonight 5 - 9 pm. Shea has an audition tomorrow for a guest role on a comedy sit-com. Only one more day here...and then flying home...Til tomorrow.....

Days 71, 72 and 73 in LA.....October 2012

Hello.....sorry about that....let 3 days go by....alright, Day 71 ~ Saturday...Shea needed to go clothes shopping....so, that's what we did....we went to an area we had never been to ~ Westwood ~ really cute area...little boutiques, fun restaurants, neat theaters....we went to two brand new stores in LA...."Brandy Melville" and "Keene". And OF COURSE she loved EVERYTHING in sight! ha! I did put a limit on her! :) We had lunch at a cute little place....then drove to a theater that was showing the movie we wanted to see ~ "Pitch Perfect" ~ pretty funny stuff! We grabbed a bite for dinner ~ then called it a day! It was wonderful spending the entire day with Shea....and just having fun! Day 72 ~ Sunday...Shea has a project due in her Anthropology class ~ she chose to study different religions. She went to a Buddist Temple and attended the service ~ Sam went with her. They were there over 3 hours! She said it was interesting....but, that the core of their message is just to make yourself happy. She thought it was very shallow. Sam had told Shea he wanted to take me out to dinner (with Shea) before I leave. Which was so sweet! We went out last night for sushi. Sam is 19 years old...going to college....persuing acting...from Boston. Shea met him at an acting class. He really seems like a great guy! And here we are Day 73 ~ today...I had to get up really early(5:45am) and drive Shea to PCC for her 7am class. I had a doctor's appt. today and needed the car. I wanted this doctor to check my hormone levels ~ as well as get a full thyroid panel done. I had the blood work done ~ and the Dr. will receive the results in @ 4 days. She will call me....and she said she can send the prescriptions to our CVS in Georgia. I stayed in Valencia and did some shopping....ate lunch....then went and picked up Shea. She is at her acting rehearsal now ~ 6-9pm. I have Bible Study tomorrow morning....then Shea has another agent meeting in the afternoon. Can't believe I am leaving in 4 days. Til tomorrow.....
