Kind of a busy day for a 12 of 12 Sunday, actually!

Had an audition-taping client in the morning, followed by a nap (exhaustion & fatigue overtook me today, unfortunately), followed by some other client work, a dog walk and mini training session (that did not go well -- I fear it is going to take me some time to teach Cricket the clever Chihuahua that "sit" does not mean "run away," or "roll over on your back so I can rub your belly." Sigh.).

Then, finally, I headed out to a premiere -- so Hollywood!

Thanks, Chad Darnell, for putting together 12 of 12 -- you can see more info about the 12 of 12 project here.

This is an extreme close-up of the frittata that I made. It is so flippin' delicious, I can't even tell you.

I actually messed up my usual recipe, and it turned out SO good!

Nom nom nom.

Makin' copies....

Standing at the copier, I got distracted (shiny keys, shiny keys!) by my poor dying plant.

I'm trying to will it to live, but it just isn't happening...

This is the second photo of distraction -- I noticed some butterflies in my new "wildflower" patch in the backyard. You can't even see them in the photo, but they're there, I swear!

The flowers are so pretty -- I ended up going outside and taking photos of them. I'll probably put up an album of pics on Flickr (I'll update this post if I do).

Distracted photo #3: this of the backyard shed, with four outdoor chairs lined up in front of it (thanks to the gardener, who neglected to put them back after he mowed the lawn).

And, yes, what 12 of 12 would be complete without a couple of photos of the pets?

Here's Cali in her favorite place (the kitchen garden window).

Becka, waiting to go outside. I believe this is her perpetual "human, time to do my bidding" look.

Yes, we have a new addition to the family -- this is a tree frog, who lives with a crested gecko (who is quite beautiful, but he keeps hiding from me).

So fun (I used to have anoles back in Connecticut, and I loved them (I had one who lives to be, I think, 8 or 9)).

My client, Riley, came in for an audition taping today, and hung out afterward to cuddle with Cricket.

Riley, me & Cricket in a group photo (thanks to Riley's mom, Shelly, for taking the pic!).

We had a good time during and after Riley's audition!

My friend, Devin, had a red carpet premiere for her new web series, "Dating in the Middle Ages." She wrote it and stars in it, and we got to see a sneak peak of the first four episodes.

A very fun night, with lots of people filling the WGA theatre in Beverly Hills. Carla Collins did some impromptu stand-up (if you don't know her name, look her up -- she was hilarious), and the web series is fun (John Schneider has a role in it!).

I was so excited to have photos of actual humans in my 12 of 12, I asked Devin for one more (yes, this is a self-shot photo -- I am so bad at those!).

Anyway, a lovely time was had (by all, I think, judging by the folks still hanging around when I headed out), and I congratulate Devin and her team for a job well done!

I was pretty fatigued today, so I kept my journeys limited. Lots of pet pictures again, but what can I say? They're the "people" in my life!

'twas a captivating day in Burbank today -- the weather was amazing, the skies were clear, and Southern California lived up to its reputation in terms of climate.

Oh. Em. Gee. What a beautiful day!! (This is an unretouched photo.)

A stop at Starbucks (natch), but this time I actually sat down and enjoyed some downtime. With the exception of the "loud talker" in the corner, it was quite relaxing.

Just when I thought I might lay down for a nap, Cricket had the same idea....

I did not get a nap today.

Pretty Becka. She's the only cat allowed outside, and this is her, patiently waiting for me to head to the back door and let her out.

Crazy Fred. He is really amazing -- although he drives me nuts, he remains one of the smartest pets I've ever had, and incredibly loving. Follows me around like a puppy....

Here's Bogie, who has now taken over the top tier of the cat tree. This is a favored position, for some reason (reminds me of the old Peanuts cartoon, when Snoopy would pretend to be a vulture).

Shy Olivia, who is getting a little more social every day. Today I was actually able to pick her up! (a major coup, believe me)

And here's Cali (she's sitting up in the kitchen "garden" window -- her favorite place (when you come up my walkway to the front door, usually the view is of her backside smushed up against the window :) ).

Had a few audition tapings today.
