Off to Hollywood

We leave today for sunny California. Yahoo! katie is so excited about meeting her agent and getting things rolling. She already has plans to drop out of school and have a tutor on the set. (Um, cart before horse....chickens not hatched....) I am letting her dream. This is one time when she can think big and let her imagination run wild. She knows it is a dream and not likely, but it is a lot of fun to imagine. Kind of like thinking about what you would do if you won the lottery.  

She got her teeth polished, a mani/pedi, her hair freshly cut and the hint of a tan. She keeps making noises about losing weight but at 5' 8" and 120 pounds fully dressed she is in great shape. Not as thin as high-fashion runway models, but that is NOT healthy and I refuse to allow her to be pushed into that. I am Mama Bear after all, the best advocate for her there is. Oh, and her Daddy is going with us, my ex husband. You think I am protective, you should see her dad (and step-dad). 

I won't have computer access for a while so no updates until next week. I may be able to post on monday from my sister's house. if not, I promise to update everyone as soon as I can. 

Now it's off to Hollywood for Ghetto Barbie and her entourage. Wish us luck, especially since brittany Spears is still driving around LA and hitting on average one car a week. Yikes!!!

Best of luck to Katie! HOW EXCITING!!! It is fun to dream of winning the lottery. But I guess I should play first to be able to win! Have a wonderful time on your trip. I cant wait to hear of your adventures!
