the flip side

Survived another weekend as a "stage mother" (the good kind of course). Stefani was on set half of Saturday and all day Sunday ... and us parents, along with makeup and hair were crammed into this tiny bedroom in the rented house ... no TV, a tiny window and two beds to sit on for well over 7 hours. And people think that shooting movies is glamourous!! Well, maybe the big Hollywood movies ... but even then, I know crew from The Incredible Hulk, Saw, Resident Evil etc ... and the conditions weren't much better than this.

But there's always a flip side isn't there? And the flip side here is that friendships are quickly forged when you're in a small room over four days with the same people! I've met so many nice people (and of course, some not so nice) ... and constantly am amazed at how much people share when there's nothing else to do!

There's another weekend of shooting on this film ... so next weekend is booked solid again.

Nicole's birthday is tomorrow but we're not celebrating until the weekend.

Not much else to say today ... the "to-do" list is far toooo long!
