06:57 pm - This will probably be my last post here Considering everyone is posting at GJ now, I figured I'd do one more post here before completely switching to GJ. *sighs wistfully* Me and LJ had some good times. I shall remember them fondly. *chuckles*
*looks up at Mark walks in, giving him a smile before looking back at the laptop* The last few days have been quiet. I've been just relaxing at home, enjoying the time off since the movie has wrapped up. I'm really excited about this one. The other cast were amazing, as was the director, and everyone else. Nova Scotia was just beautiful, and I hope to get a chance to go back. For vacation this time. *laughs lightly*
*glances over to see Mark looking over my shoulder, reading, a mischievious smirk curling up*
I've decided to leave Mark for Brad Pitt. He called me yesterday, and told me that him and Jennifer wasn't working out, and he just had to have me, and who am I to resist Brad Pitt? I just haven't found the words to tell Mark yet. *bites my lip, furrowing my eyebrows* I hope he'll understand. I mean...this is Brad Pitt. Helleewwwwwwwwwwwww!
*hears a not so amused grunt next to me, looking over, seeing a blank look on Mark's face, flashing him a sweet grin before bursting into giggles, listening when he tells me that isn't funny* Yes...yes, it is!
*setting my laptop to the side, sliding onto his lap, smiling sweetly, leaning in to whisper into his ear, pulling back, matching his smirk with my own, nodding when he raises an eyebrow, chuckling low, giving him a quick kiss before climbing out of his lap, picking up the laptop*
I think we're gonna go. Gotta call Dave. Or I think Mark's going to. *nods when he says he is* Never mind. *chuckles* See you all later!
Just one more thought.....WE HAVE A WEDDING TOMORROW! *squees*
*clicks update, laughing along with Mark* Current Mood: happy

08:06 pm - Tonight *keeps the phone to my ear as I fix my bag on my shoulder, nodding as I talk, laughing at times, tucking the mail under my arm, walking up to the door, never being so happy to be home, fumbling for my key, unlocking the door, walking in, jumping back as I close the door when the dogs and Shayla nearly bombard me, telling the person on the phone to hold on for a second, bends down* Hey babies! *lets them give me kisses, giggling as I pet them, then giving them all hugs*
*stands up, bringing the phone back to my ear, talking again, nodding as I set my bag down, sitting the mail and my purse on the table, walking into the kitchen* Mmhmm...yeah...I'll call you...uh huh... *laughs* </i>No, I'm hoping not...sure, see ya then...thank you so much...bye, love!</i>
*flips my phone shut, setting it on the counter, smiling to myself, bouncing a little on my feet, clapping my hands together*
Everything is set. I think everyone will have a good time tonight. *nods slowly, grinning* Yes, I think they will.
*glances at my watch, thinking I have plenty of time to get ready, deciding a bath sounds great, turns around and heads for the stairs*
*goes up them and turns into the bedroom, going into the closet, pulling a bag out, setting it on the bed, smirks to myself, chuckling low, heading into the bathroom, over to the tub, turning on the water, waits for it to fill* Current Mood: excited

02:26 pm - *sitting on the bed of the hotel room* *gingerly eating a thing of yogurt, staring out the window, wishing it would stop raining, glancing down at my yogurt, sighing a little*
*listens as the cd in the stereo changes to another, hearing the strains of a familiar song, smiling wistfully, tapping my spoon on the edge of the cup before taking another bite, looking back out the window, singing softly to the words*
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I’m broken when I’m open And I don’t feel like I am strong enough 'Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away
'Cause I’m broken when I’m open And I don’t feel like I am strong enough 'Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome And I don't feel right when you're gone away You've gone away You don't feel me here anymore
*turns the stereo off, picking up my cell, dailing his, getting his voicemail, smiling when I hear his voice, leaving a message* Hey...it's me. I know you're at work, but just wanted to say hi and whatnot. Just...just needed to hear your voice. See you soon. Love you.
*flips the phone shut, sitting back in bed, turning the stereo back up, staring out the window again, finishing my yogurt* Current Mood: indescribable Current Music: Broken-Seether ft. Amy Lee

03:00 pm - *stumbles out of the bathroom, wiping the corner of my mouth, making a face* *trudges over to the couch, flopping down, totally forgetting about the sun burn, hissing loudly* Son of a bitch!
*whimpers some as I grab my laptop, opening up, logging onto LJ, staring at the screen before attempting to write something down*
I.Feel.Like.Crap.
Fuck what the doctor said. Hello mild sun poisoning. Just what I need. *groans*
The director took one look at my face, and told me to go back to the hotel and not come out until I didn't look like I was going to throw up. Heh. Too late.
And with that, I'm going to take a nap.
I wanna go home. *sniffs*
*clicks update, setting the laptop down on the floor, slowly laying down, curling up into a ball when my stomach lurches again, closing my eyes, trying to fall asleep* Current Mood: sick

August 9th, 2004
10:59 pm - *crawls into bed, whimpering softly* *goes completely still as I let the pain surge through me, hoping like hell that the milk compress works soon, slumps into the pillows, groaning loudly*
*slows turns onto my back, inhaling a sharp hiss, cursing at myself for being so freaking stupid, taking deep soothing breaths, concentrating on everything but the burn*
Please, if anyone of you truly love me, you'll take me out of my misery right.now. Or supply me with horse's dose of morphine. Because this burn is slowly killing me. *whines*
Last night, I passed out around 10:30. I was so exhausted. It hurts to move, and yesterday consisted of lots of moving, and I seriously was going to scream, "ENOUGH" and go back to the hotel and stay there until I'm no longer in pain. But that's not going to happen any time soon. *sighs painfully*
*shifts again, finally finding a comfortable position, moaning in relief, smiling a little* So, I got to talk to Jami today. I was sitting in the trailer, waiting to see if they still needed me, and I told her I couldn't find the thing Dave posted in my entry about Mark's burn and what I could do for it. But bless her, she told me of this milk protein compress, and it seems to be working. Hopefully, by Saturday, the pain will be gone, and I can enjoy the bachelorette party. Woo! *laughs*
I'm so tired. And I'm sick of always being tired. I haven't had a day to sleep in the past three weeks. And I can feel myself slowly start to wear down. *rubs a hand over my face* I just keep telling myself that in a few days, it'll be over, and I can have my weekends back and then this movie will be finished, and I can finally go home. For more than just a night. *releases a breath* Oh, it's going to be so nice.
*glances at the clock* Well, I better head for bed. Gotta another early day tomorrow. *thinks to myself* Will it never end?
Please excuse the whining post. Just not feeling all that hot.............oh fuck it. You know what I mean. *snorts*
Irish, love....*smiles softly* I miss you. Can't wait to see you this weekend. Take care of yourself. Tell the babies I said hi, and give them a hug and a kiss for me. I love you, sweetheart...more and more with each waking moment. See you soon.
*slowly rolls over and reaches up, turning off the lights, turning onto my stomach, taking a deep breath, releasing it slowly, curls a pillow under my head, slowly drifting off to sleep* Current Mood: burnt and sore

August 7th, 2004
04:53 pm - Note to self: Do not go sunbathing before going back to a movie shoot. Especially when no sun block was used on the back. *whimpers*
*shifts uncomfortably, wincing when my legs feel like they're on fire, frowing as I take a look around the bedroom, not wanting to go back*
*takes a moment to think back on last night, a soft smile coming to my face, eyes twinkling, humming to myself*
It was nice to catch up with everyone last night. I know I didn't stay for long, but I really wanted to spend some time with my husband. Surprising him twice in one week, I keep showing up, I won't be able to surprise him anymore. *chuckles* But it's worth to see the look on his face. *smiles*
*taps my foot to the music playing from the speakers, listening to the words he posted in his journal, grinning happily* I think...once this movie is over, the McGrath household will work towards adding to the family. *cheeky grin* And I don't mean by buying another animal. *chuckles* I never really thought about kids before we were married, but I think Michael wooed me over to the idea. And there's no better way to express the love two people share than having a child.
And my biological clock is running on hypermode. *laughs* I kid.
*shifts again, groaning a little* God, this burn hurts. Need to get some aloe vera on before I head out. And it's just my backside. It sucks. *hisses softly*
*hears my cell ring, picking it up, listening to the person on the other end, making a face, nodding* Uh huh, yeah. Give me a few hours, I'll be there. Yeah, I know...snuck out last night. *chuckles* Yes, I'm sure he is. Tell him I'll be there soon...yeah...see ya....bye! *hangs up, cursing under my breath*
Dammit. I wanted to wait until Mark got home before I left, but noooooooo, they need me back as soon as possible. *sighs* Just one more week. I can do this.
Before I go, ladies, an invite to Jami's bachelorette party has been sent out. Please let me know if you can't make it. Preferably, not the night of the party. *chuckles*
*scratches my temple, smiling softly* Irish, love, I wanted to wait, but work called. I love you, baby...more than words can express. I'll see you soon. *presses a kiss to the screen*
*clicks update, standing up, walking carefully up the stairs, grumbling about burns, work, trying to remember where I put that aloe stuff is at* Current Mood: burnt to all hell

02:36 pm - Following the trend... ...and these seemed like a lot of fun. *laughs*

August 5th, 2004
04:51 pm - *chuckles as I update* Dave, Karina, and Irish will get this, but as I was on break, I was in the trailer just relaxing and "You Look Wonderful Tonight" came on. I about fell off the couch from laughing so damn hard. All I could hear was Karina singing, "ewe were wonderful tonight" in my head, and that just caused me to laugh even harder. *laughs* Whew...good times, good times. Needless to say, it took me like a good 15 minutes to calm myself down, but still I was giggly all day.
I don't have much of an update. I get up early, I go to the shoot, I do my job, I go back to the hotel, and by 12 I'm out. I miss my own bed, and especially the really hot guy who happens to reside in it as well. *small smile* Yeah, I miss them a lot.
I am a great wife. I surprised Mark by coming home Tuesday night. It was just for the night, but that time was SORELY needed. To have him hold me again was just heaven. We fell asleep on the couch, just holding each other. God, I didn't want to get up in the morning and leave. *makes a face* But I didn't have much of a choice.
Okay, so much for not having much to update. *chuckles* I should head back. I think tomorrow, we're gonna be cutting it early. Go and see some of this beautiful country I've inhabited for the last month. JUST ONE MORE WEEK! I can do this. I know I can. *nods*
Women of the island, be on the look out for the invite/announcement of Jami's bachelorette party.
Irish, I miss you honey. *smiles* Hope you're not working too hard and staying out of trouble. *rae* Yes, I know those words are moot, but I can't help but say them right? *laughs* I love you, sweetheart. See/talk to you soon.
*looks up when I see Ali come in, asking me if I want dinner soon, smiling as I nod, telling her I'll be with her in just a moment, clicks update and stands, bounding out of the trailer* Current Mood: giggly Current Music: "You Looked Wonderful Tonight" in my head *snickers*

August 4th, 2004
06:13 am - Back to work *softy pads down the stairs, walking into the living room, smiling wistfully when I see him asleep on the couch, going over and sitting down carefully on the edge, not wanting to wake him*
*just looks at him for a few minutes, reaching over to brush my fingertips over his cheek, closing my eyes when he sighs and leans towards them, chanting mentally that this next week and half will go by quickly*
*takes a deep breath, releasing it slowly, opening my eyes, looking down at him, leaning in to brush a soft kiss over his forehead, whispering* I love you, Irish. See you soon.
*gives him one last long look before finally getting up, grabbing my keys and cell from the floor, forcing myself to walk out the living room then the front door* Current Mood: not really wanting to go back

06:52 pm - Wow! I know I haven't updated. I've been extremely busy. Friday night, the entire cast decided they had enough of filming, and we all took a plane down to Orlando just for the day. We decided to go to Sea World, since I'm absolutely in love with dolphins, and it was just fantastic. We even went behind the scenes of the Shamu Stadium, and dear God, killer whales are amazing creatures. It was an entirely fun day, and I'm sad to say that we had to go back. I'm not looking forward to this extremely busy week. *yawns, rubs a hand over my face* Oy. I'm tired just thinking about it.
In other news, I MISS THE HELL OUT OF MY HUSBAND! *sighs* I called him Wednesday, and it was so nice to hear his voice. It made me miss him more, but just to talk to him for those few hours made it easier to be away. (*chuckles* No, baby, not too easy. *winks*)
Anyway, I need to go and get something to eat. I miss everyone, and I feel like I've missed a lot. Congratulations Gwen and Brian. You both will make amazing parents. AJ and Pin...er...Alecia (heehee), great to see two people more deserving of happiness finding it with each other. PINK AND AJ LIVES! *cracks up*
Jami, I miss you girl. I'm working on your party plans while I'm away. NO, I haven't forgotten about you. *snickers* Love ya, woman.
I'm in such a good mood. I love you all. *showers the Island with hugs and kisses* You all better be behaving. *snorts* Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
Okay, seriously going now. Irish, check your email. *smiles* I love you, baby. *kisses the tips of my fingers then pressing them to the screen* Talk to you soon, handsome.
*clicks update and jumps off the couch, grabbing my keys, cell, and purse, heading out the door* Current Mood: good

02:25 pm - *smiles and sniffs a little* *listens to the greeting for the third time, knows I should probably head back to the set, but not ready to go just yet, bringing a hand up to the screen, smiling a little more*
*quickly writes an email, humming softly to myself, clicks send*
Baby, check your email when you get home. Love you, Irish. I miss you too.

July 27th, 2004
06:11 am *quietly gets ready, making sure I have everything, sits on the edge of the bed, staring at my bag, thinking for the first time that I really don't want to go, closing my eyes, taking a deep breath then releasing it slowly*
*stands up and walks around the bed to his side, looking down at him, smiling a little at how peaceful he looks, not really wanting to wake him up but does anyway, crouching down, shaking him gently, speaking softly* Wake up, baby. I have to go. *smiles a little more when his eyes slowly open, blinking to focus, a small smile coming to his face* Hey, handsome.
*pushes on my knees to stand back up, letting him wake up a little more, going over to pick up my bag, slinging it over my shoulder, hearing him climb out and pad softly to me, giving him a wistful smile as I take his head, letting him lead me down the stairs and to the door, opening it up, then turning to face him*
*talks quietly with him about keeping in touch, making a promise to call when I can, laughing softly when he jokes about me checking my email again, nodding, telling him I will and to shut up about it, stops laughing when he pulls me in his arms, hugging me tight, closing my eyes, hugging him back, not wanting to let go*
*finally releasing him after a few minutes, turning my head up to his, leaning up, kissing him deeply before pulling back, adjusting my bag* I love you, Irish. I'll see you as soon as I can. Be careful this weekend.
*smiles when he says he will and that he loves me too, giving him a long look before finally heading out the door, looking back as I head for the car, giving him a small wave, thinking that this next month is going to suck a whole lot* Current Mood: morose

July 24th, 2004
04:58 pm - Home sweet home *smiles* I am home. Just for the weekend, but these few days do count and make a difference. Granted, being able to sleep in is always nice too. *chuckles*
*thinks back on this morning, snickering sheepishly, shaking my head* Poor Mark. We both got up late, and he was due in the studio 45 minutes from when he woke up. Some times I'm up before him, so I usually wake him up, but I was running on close to 24 hours of no sleep, and he felt so warm and comfy, that there was no way I was getting up. And I totally forgot he had to go to the studio today. Whoops...? *giggles* Thankfully, however, he was able to get out of here on time.
*scrates my ring finger, frowning in aggravation* Goddamn ants. I went to plant some flowers out in the front (Oh, yes. I am domestic. *laughs*), and two ants bit me on my ring finger. I now have two very lovely bumps, and my finger is slightly swollen. My rings won't come off now. Not that I would take them off anyway, but you get the picture. *grumbles under my breath, mentally making a note to buy ant killer*
Last night was a lot of fun. Faye, I'm glad you had a great birthday. And you're just going to be beautiful in all those rubies. *laughs* You deserve it, hon. Again, happy birthday.
*reaches up and stretches, groaning when my lower back pops, running my hands through my hair* I'm meeting a friend of mine in a few minutes for some drinks. I haven't seen him in a long time, so we have quite a bit of catching up to do. I should be home by the time Mark does. *sighs* This weekend is going to be the last weekend we'll see each other for awhile. He's going to be off touring next weekend, and I'll be doing a weekend shoot. *scratches my cheek* But such is life. And we'll make through this. *smiles, nodding* Yes, we will.
*glances at my watch* Shit, need to finish getting ready. Irish, love, if I'm not home when you get here, I shouldn't be out late. See you tonight, handsome. *smiles* I love you.
*jumps up and hurries up the stairs to finish getting ready* Current Mood: happy

July 21st, 2004
10:38 pm - Bored again We're done for the night. Thank God. I'm about to head for bed here in a minute, since tomorrow is another early morning. But I was listening to Music Choice on the TV here, and they have a kick ass 50's and 60's station, and I heard one of my all time favorite songs. And since it's stuck in my head, I decided to post the lyrics. So no..there are no meaning behind the lyrics. Unless of course, there are for you. *shrugs*
( Oh oh, yes, I'm the great pretender )
*sways to the music in my head, chuckling* All right. And with that, I am off to bed.
See you in your dreams, Irish. *grins*
*clicks update and stands, turning off the laptop, heading into the bedroom to get ready for bed* Current Mood: tired Current Music: The Great Pretender-The Platters

12:18 pm - *yawns, rubbing my eye with the back of my hand* It's quite sad that's only 12:30 in the afternoon, and your day isn't even halfway through. I have about...oh...another 10 hours to go. What fun, what fun.
*chuckles* I read somewhere about how someone said that I'm such a trooper when it comes to shooting, because I didn't complain once during the scene in the courtroom. We were stuck in this courtroom, with no AC, and it was stifling hot, for 15 hours no less. No, I didn't complain, because complaining gets you no where. However, that doesn't stop me from bitching about it in here. But hey, this is my journal, and I can do what I want. *nods*
*glances down at the time, frowning* Well, shit, I have to go. Just had a little while to post something during lunch. Off back to the grind. Woo joy.
*grins* I really do love this. Don't listen to my ramblings. Because inside, I feel so at home.
Irish...see you soon, love. Don't work too hard this week. I love you. For always. *smiles*
*clicks update, stands up and throws my wrapper away, opening the door to walk out of the trailer* Current Mood: tired
