husband scripts easy
And I find it very easy to memorize the scripts, which are so close to conversations my husband and I have.
emotional support littles
When it comes to accepting emotional support or affection, I'm a little guarded and hardened to that.
underwear hey towns
Hey G-Town Gal: turn your underwear inside out! Then u only have to do laundry every 2 weeks—saves on detergent & trips to Laundromat!
mom school kids
I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school, but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives
ohio journalism theater
And I started as a journalism major at Ohio State, ended up in theater and I love to read.
commitment years together
True love, and what it is, and how do you know what it is. Is it just chemistry, or is it years and years of commitment and being together and hanging in there building a history? And how do you find both?
helping accepting
I'm not good at accepting help.
couple years annoyed

encounters week situation
I know the situations that we do every week are all ones that I encounter in my life or will encounter.
apartment check developing experience instead lead love meeting next produce script until weeks wonderful wrap
We were developing the script right up to, and through, the first weeks of filming. I'd rehearse, then instead of being able to go back to the apartment and relax, I'd have to go to a script meeting or check one of the sets. It was hard, but it was really satisfying. I would love to produce something without also having to be the lead actor in it. I said at the wrap party, 'This has really been a wonderful experience ... and I never want to do it again!' That's until the next time, of course.
great people
What's really great is when people get the jokes, when people laugh,
available considered days easy few four gotta hours series six weeks work
when you're working on a series all year, to take the few weeks you have available and go work 12-hour days. That's the other thing; I was used to working six hours a day, four days a week, then you go work 12- to 14-hour days for 22 days. That's considered an easy shoot, but I was still like, 'Oh, man. I've gotta get back on a sitcom.'
