Keep On Truckin'

This has been a year full of ups and downs, both personally and professionally, to say the least. But today marks one of the ups, thank goodness.

Last week I booked a national commercial for a trucking company and today I'm on set, one my favorites places to be (second only to being curled up on the couch with my soon-to-be-hubbie). You may or may not know that I'm a workaholic (say whhhhhat??!?) and I love working and being a part of creating something like this. Even if it's a commercial and not a gripping piece of theater. Or a hilarious hit web series like The Junior League of Superheroes (www.getJLoSHed.com). Just as an example.














The crew is awesome, and it's great when everyone's actually getting paid! It's the small things in life, really. In terms of when this commercial (in which I play a young trucker - yeehaw!) will air, that's yet to be determined. From what I've heard, it's supposed to air on cable. If I get a copy, I'll definitely post it!

As for my personal life, it's been a whirlwind summer. After our incredible tour of Europe with the Leahy clan, Brian and I returned to a life of engagement in LA. My bro spent the summer, sleeping on our couch and occasionally interning at Bunim-Murray, the production company that does The Real World and other highly-intelligent shows. One 600-square-foot apartment, a newly-engaged couple and a 21-year-old frat boy. Tuesdays at 9. Sounds like the real world to me! We were supposed to spend this week at Oak Island with my fam, but this job got in the way. Brian is still lounging there without me, braving the in-laws up close and personal.

I did get to go home for a few days though, and actually bought my wedding dress! I know it's early, but we've got so many things to do, anything I can knock off the list is great! I got a steal of a price, too. I'm totally thrilled. Sorry I can't post any pics. The man might see!

...can't think of a clever non-cheesy title...

Brian and I are engaged!!! I thought about naming this blog, "Dum, Dum, Da-dum" or something easily as cheesy, but then decided against it.

Yes, after 5 years (and 2 months...to the day!) Brian proposed to me in Brussels. Email me if you want all the sappy details :)

The Junior League of Superheroes!!

I'm also SO excited to announce the launch of our web series (the reason I've been a lazy blogger for the past six months -- all because of this project!!!). You better get JLoSHed. www.getJLoSHed.com

...and tell your friends...

Ezra's Bar Mitzvah

Currently in New York, shooting a bunch of portraits, musicians and a fun wedding tomorrow. Just finished posting this link to our latest shoot, Ezra's Bar Mitzvah:



I'll post more photos soon. Am I the laziest blogger ever? Yes. Have I lost all my followers? Probably. That's okay...

I Didn't Know I Would Be Telling Someone They Were Pregnant

So, this will be brief -- Just letting you all know that my episode of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant (in which I play an Irish nurse, though somehow I got that role while I was still blonde!) will air next Tuesday, March 17th (St. Paddy's Day) at 9pm EST, 6pm PST. It will also RE-air again that same night at 11pm EST, 8pm PST in case you missed the first one. It's on Discovery Health Channel and it is a reality-based show, as most on DHC are, but this one involves "flashbacks" to the event. That will be me! I think there are 4 storylines in the one episode, so look for the petite Irish woman with the black bob. That's my storyline. Enjoy!

P.S. The answer to the last quiz was "all of the above" -- but most people are curious to know, you do NOT have to call me Foster...although you can if you want...it's really just for casting directors and such. The biz. You know :)
