this weekend, i had a fun little getaway to sarah's house with her to visit her family and meet up with brittany. during highschool, i used to spend a lot of weekends at their house, so it was so much fun to do things like back in the day. on saturday afternoon, we were in des moines taking advantage of the 50th anniversary celebration at b&e meats and getting free tri-tip sandwiches when we heard that robin williams was filming a new movie up at the huge scary masonic lodge on the hill. being the curious ladies we are, sonya drove sarah, leah and i up there to take a little peak. as we were looking through the window, we saw some crew wheeling around various film equipment and got excited! a man was walking by and opened the door for us. . . "are you girls here to be extras?" ... "yes?!" ... "oh, you're in the wrong part of the building, right this way"...
long story short, we got to be extras in a new movie called dear lemon lima. it is a coming of age story about a girl who wins a scholarship to a prep school or something... we got to dress up in prep school uniforms, complete with knee high socks. : ) we even got to have hannah and brittany come join us.

i will say, it was quite the interesting experience. many of the extras acted as though they should have been the stars . . . taking their little background action a little too seriously. one girl even brought her headshot and carried it around. ridiculous. anyway, quite a random but very fun experience.
