Jealousy LOST

In case you missed this before, I originally posted this earlier in the week. I was on set yesterday from 530am until after 6pm. The baby took bottles from Hubby and I was grateful for the opportunity to pump during the day. I had scenes with Sayid and Ben from LOST. I will post more later.

Everyone knows the Farmers are huge LOST fans. Since we live in Hawaii we know people who know people on the show. We know people that have seen LOST stars at restaurants. Someone in our Bible study was best mommy friends with baby Aaron's mother from Season 1 and 2. Another friend helped scout for LOST filming sites. Then, one of my own baby friends was told YES he could be baby Aaron and then NO he wasn't going to be baby Aaron last fall. SIGH. I wish my baby could have auditioned. Shhh! I was even a little bit jealous! My baby was the same age as the would be baby Aaron, but Son2 just wasn't blond and blue eyed. Still, more friends from that mommy group said there was a casting call for extras. So Hubby cropped my pictures and submitted them the first week in October.
Well, my Caucasian friends got called immediately for extra parts for the scenes of Kate's trial in Los Angeles. SNIFF SNIFF. But not me. I wished I may, I wished I might, but it didn't happen. Then, wouldn't you know I got another email from The Baby Hui, saying that LOST was looking for more baby Aarons, male or female, blond, blue eyed, 8 to 15 lbs. Well, that didn't fit me or Son2 again, so SIGH, I forwarded on the email to J.


Her son got an audition. Still, no call for me. Oh well, I was wearing ten more pounds of baby weight in these pictures than I am now. My hair was long then. Hubby suggested resubmitting new pictures about a month ago. But I didn't.

The phone rang on Tuesday. I looked at the caller ID. Hawaii State Govt. Ugh. Did this have something to do with this year's election? I hit the Talk button and said hello. The person on the other line said, "Is this R?" Suspiciously I told her it was me. I am always wary when people ask for me by name. I can't even remember the woman's name, but she was a casting director from LOST!!! Pick me up off the floor, splash some cold water on my face, YES, YES, IT'S ME!!! She and I chatted for awhile, and she said, "I see in the picture you have a baby." I told her I had TWO of them, you know, just in case. "Oh, well, we may need you to work on Friday 6am to 6pm. Will that be a problem?" Hubby was off that day, and I mouthed LOST to him, and then paused and looked at him and mouthed FRIDAY. He gave me the nod. YIPPEEE!!!! I assured the casting director that childcare would not be a problem. So the casting director and I chatted a little while longer, getting all of my measurements, stats, and numbers before we got off the phone. I am getting a final call tomorrow. That phone call will give me a final call time for Friday. See this is so secretive. I have no directions, no time, no nothing except for a final call tomorrow when I will get all of the final directions. But here is what I can tell you. I can tell you that I am being cast for either someone buying or selling in a flashback to a Middle Eastern market. Ta-dah! That is fine with me. I have actually been mistaken for Middle Eastern before. It happened a lot when I was a student at UCLA and also when I lived in Northern VA. I have been mistaken for a handful of other nationalities, too.

Ooooh I am so thrilled. I am not listening to the little voice in the back of my head that says they may just forget to call me.
