Naturally things got much better. It was just one of those days, ya know? (Thanks for the comments, girls.) I’m back to my chipper, positive self. Well, maybe I wouldn’t call myself “positive” on a regular basis, but you know. I can tell a huge difference because instead of laying stationary on my couch all weekend watching bad programs on ABCFamily, I actually DID things. Well, Saturday I had my massage and facial, which were amazing. AHHHHH. Very nice. I actually may have enjoyed the facial more than the massage, but it’s hard to say. I’d never had a facial before, and it was really relaxing. And my face felt all silky and smooth afterward!
On the drive home I was driving down this street that runs through a wooded area with a creek, and I saw something darting across the road in front of me. “What IS that?,” I said. (Yes, outloud.) As I got closer I saw that it was a roadrunner! A real roadrunner! That thing was FAST! I had never seen one before, so I thought it was really cool. I’m a dork.
Then I had a boring but short music rehearsal for the show. (I’m a “pit singer” during a lot of the group numbers I’m not in.) C and I had dinner and drinks at the place we met for our first date. BJ’s is one of our favorites: they have good food, good beer, and big screen televisions. For sports, of course, but he doesn’t forget I exist when sports are on, so it’s o.k. =)
Yesterday was my productive day. Go me. I love me. Don’t you?
Some things I did (boring, but it’s fun to make lists, no?):
1. Organized my built-in bookcase and put all my stray books on there.
2. Framed a black and white print of Dallas in 1939 and displayed it in my bedroom.
3. Put together my new black (with red accents) corner shelf and put it up in my bedroom; arranged various things so they look purty on it! Hehe, I am so easily amused.
4. Moved my giant-heavy-ass chest across the room (not an easy task, mind you).
5. Hung a black-framed shadowbox thingee and a black-framed mirror.
6. Signed up to sell on half.com and posted 7 textbooks for sale. Not that they’re going to sell right now since a) it’s the middle of the semester and who’s buying books? and b) they’re mostly music books, and what are the odds that anyone is going to want them? I never did. But hey, it’s the thought that counts.
7. Burned a cd for C’s parents to send along with my thank you note to them for my b-day gift card to Victoria’s Secret. (Whee, I need to go spend that!)
8. Opened up my new charcoal grill and saw that it consists of no less than 1800 pieces and decided I’d go ahead and wait on C’s help for that one, haha. LAZY. Oh MAN, you should SEE all the junk that comes with that damn grill. It’s cool, though.
So anyway, my bedroom is almost done, and it’s gonna be pretty!
Next on my list is the kitchen. I did get curtains installed already, and that made a HUGE difference, but now I need a new clock to hang and a couple of brightly colored glass pieces or something to bring out the colors. Something. You know what’s awful? The fact that I have just written like a whole freaking entry about decorating my apartment. Seriously. This is sad. I should really work on this. lol.
Today on my lunch break I’m going to buy some Corn Nuts and some apple juice. Why am I suddenly craving apple juice? Weird.
Styrofoam is bad for the environment, but it sure does keep my ice cubes from melting so quickly.
My sister and her family are going to Disneyworld mid to late June. I’ve just been asked to be an ensemble member of our next show, Oklahoma. Damn that show is boring. I really can’t afford to go to Disneyworld, so I probably shouldn’t. Though I’d really love to go somewhere. But oh well. As much as I don’t like Oklahoma, in groups like this one you have to pay your dues before they’ll give you big roles, I’m thinking. Plus, I’m sure I’d have a good time socializing with everyone else. Hard to say. Ugh. Even if I decide to do it, I may go ahead and audition for Into the Woods at WaterTower just for the audition experience. There’s no way I’d ever get cast there, but it can’t hurt to try. I need to print some more headshots, actually.
OK, if I don’t do some work soon, people are going to wonder…

I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I think it’s the time of year for emotional insecurities and freak outs. I know I’m having my fair share.
Oaklahoma is boring, but at least there are fun company pieces and a dream ballet.
I’m so jealous of you getting your house all nice. I need to do the same in mine, I just haven’t had the time or the gumption for that lately. I haven’t even been ambitious enough to put my laundry away.

Lemme get this straight: your boyfriend’s parents gave you a gift certificate to Victoria’s Secret? How cool is that?!
March 27th, 2006 at 8:47 pm
Dude if you go to Disneyworld I can totally come visit since I found out this weekend a drive from my house to Orlando takes a mere 2 hours!

Ya know, I miss not having my d-land buddy list light up when you post… It makes me lazy in strolling over this way and then I get intimidated by all the entries I did not read and then my head hurts and I wish you posted more pictures so I could just LOOK at what you’ve been up to instead of feeling guilty that I didn’t read EVERYthing. I suck. And, don’t worry, D-World cost too much when I was nine and I’m sure it hasn’t exactly gone down in price… LOVE!
