Reel Sharpe

  I got home a little past eleven. Luckily, I had slept most of the party, so I wasn’t that exhausted. Before I’d left, my mother had run down tomorrow’s events – just in case I had forgotten. I had a manicure scheduled for ten in the morning, then a hair appointment, then the rehearsal at the hotel, and then the wedding. I knew there wasn’t a chance I would be able to get down to the station, and in my present mood, I didn’t want to anyway. I had been working nonstop and needed a break. No one had called me with updates, and I knew we were just spinning our wheels. I figured Mac could handle things, and if anything earth-shattering came up, he would let me know.

  Sometimes when you work on these reality shows, you get so caught up in the microcosm that is the show that you forget about the real world around you. Your life becomes the production and things like the birth of a child, the illness of a parent, or the wedding of your sister just fall by the wayside. I realized my priorities had gotten out of whack, and I fully intended to get them back in order. Tomorrow was my sister’s big day, and I would be there by her side every step of the way.
