I pull back my curtains at 6:45 am, and surprise, surprise, another sunny day in LA. I am out the door by 6:55.  I know what you're thinking, "Early call time!"

Wrong, just desperately needed Starbucks.   I normally brew my own coffee to save a couple of bucks, but I got home late last night from a long night at the bar.  Don't be so quick to judge, I was working!  I parked in a 7-9 am tow away zone last night because it was the closest to my apartment door, and I was too exhausted to walk the extra 10 feet.  Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I figured, "Hey, if you're gonna be in the car this early you might as well reward yourself with a treat."  For some reason, I can always find a way to reward myself with a cup of steaming hot java from Starbucks.

Yes, I'm a Starbucks Gal.  I know all you LA people are against it, with the trendy places like Inteligensia. I just don't own enough American Apparel to walk in there every morning.  Starbucks accepts me in my pajamas, big furry boots, and tangled hair every morning.  It's a coffee shop where I can just be me every morning, and nobody cares.  One of the few in LA.

Plus, it's in the grocery store so I can pick up cat litter for my kitten, Emma Jean MacKenzie Ross. (She's too cute for one name)  She was Emerson until a couple weeks ago when the vet informed he was actually a she.  The confusion i felt when Emerson left, and Emma showed up is a story for another time and place.

 I run across Vine from my new safe parking spot at 7:15 am. Dodging the rush hour traffic, while carrying a Grande cup of coffee and a grande jug of cat litter. Making it to my apartment door safely is a true challenge.  If this is all I accomplish today, I'm still ahead of most people in the world.

I settle down to read the script I just received in my email.  Oh, did I mention, I booked a show.  Surf Chefs!  I film in a couple of days, and my character is a 16 year-old  crazy runner girl.   Basically, I play myself minus 8 years life experience.  This is going to be so fun!  I take a big sip of my coffee, and feel one step closer to my plan for taking over the world/ entertainment industry.  Come on, we all know the entertainment industry runs the world.
