Hello Friends!

I'm a Dork
this was taken early in the morning

before coffee

Happy Holidays!! gosh can you believe it! december 1, yikes. Thanksgiving was great. i went to our friend Ben's families dinner. he was nice to invite me. beck went to visit her family. i was going to go but she was doing other visiting and so i decided to stay home and i was actually just going to cook for myself but ended up going with Ben and turned out to be great. it was a nice week actually. it was nice to have the place to myself and kinda regroup and just hang out. i realize that i have sleeping issues when im by myself and don't have anywhere to go the next day. i end up staying up all night and sleeping most of the day away which isnt' the greatest thing to do but was done. and im ok with that.

i spent some time with Ben and His girl kasia. had lunch with my friend shannon. we had thai and some sushi..yummy. im actaully going to have a sushi party next month and make my own. that should be fun.

...so we decided to paint the bedroom. she bought a gallon of paint a while ago, we needed supplies so off to the dollar store we go to pick up some things. came home and got the room ready for painting, moved stuff out, taped the edges etc etc.....and then she left for rehearsal for a couple of hours so in that time i got 3/4 of the room done (painted to where i can reach...basically) and when she came home around 11 and we finished the rest. it looks really good. honestly the room looks really good. its a nice warm color....not to girly not to masculine its actually perfect for her....cuz shes both girly and sporty so its really a great room. very cozy.

so i never did get to sleep that day. we ended up sleeping on the futon that night which was fine until the morning. i hate futons. lol our bodies were hurting from the futon and the painting...we were sore. lol so Friday is actually when we finished putting the room together. Ben (neighbor) and his hat (see pic above) called us in the morning on his way to dunkin donuts and wanted to know if we wanted anything and he bought us some bagels and hung out for a while. beck had to babysit for a couple of hours then on her way home she called me to get ready for dinner. we went to Mary's and had our low carb lettuce wraps which are really good and low in points. we ended up going to the dollar store again and bought a rug for the living room and two lamps for the bedroom and sheer curtains for the bedroom. the room is absolutely perfect.

so of course now the rest of the place is trashed. lol

but were going to rearrange and get paint for the rest of the apt and start doing that. most likely after the holidays. but for now the living room/dining room/office are being moved around and set in different locations. I'm hoping to have the place cleaned up by tomorrow. i have rehearsal for 2 hours and that's it. so i hope that while I'm gone she'll get some stuff done like go through all her craft supplies...ugh...and we can get the place civilized cuz i want to start decorating. lol were so excited about Xmas and decorating but both of us are like...not until the place is cleaned!! and its funny cuz neither one of us are going to be here for the holiday but were just going to celebrate after. which is just fine.

jeeze i still need to make my flight arrangements. ugh im going to see my mommy for xmas!!! yayayayaya im very excited and now since im not working i can spend a good amount of time with her which will be great! im thinking about 2 weeks. i think that will be good.

we have our weight watcher meeting on Saturday morning. i knew i gained. I'm pretty much right back to square one. ill get there..i know it. she's lost 14 lbs already. shes doing great. of course I'm doing all the cooking...so of course shes doing great. once things get better organized, shes going to start cooking again. after the meeting we went grocery shopping and being ridiculous in the car. it was so funny we were at the jewel and they were sampling wine. we hadn't eaten yet....lol....

Lets see i got up at 8:45 to shower,

she got up at 930,

we got coffee,

went to the meeting

went to Aldis,

then to the jewel

so its now about noon and all we had was coffee....

so here we go sampling wine...they give you like half a shot glass to taste and of course we tasted all 4.....and literally those 4 little shots went straight to our heads..lol. which led to more ridiculousness in the grocery store. we are such dorks. as were walking out of the store it was snowing (the first snow) and the two of us without a word stuck out our tongues to catch the flakes and l mean we didn't even say anything we just did it simultaneously.

it.was.the.funniest.fucking.thing.ever!

so that led us into hysterics. so funny. and of course the one liners of mmm taste like chicken and gosh I'm so full....you get the idea... so we went home.

Ben was walking Phil so she played in the snow with Phil who is becks boyfriend (Phil is a dog I'm sure you have seen him on my myspace page and if you haven't....why the hell not!! i put the link up over there on your right...use it!! you can check out Ben's pics on my space (hes a top friend) and you will see the cutest dog ever!) we put our groceries away and we decided to have shrimp cocktail and wine for lunch which we did and it was yummy.

so were having this snow storm!! omg...its was so windy here there is ice on our street and literally there is a sheet of hard ice on the cars. its amazing how quickly it formed. i hope that it gets warm enough tomorrow for it to melt some. i hope that we don't get hit to bad with snow. the winds that come off the lake are so strong i can't even imagine what the winter is going to be like. I'm really glad that i dont' have a job to go too right now. it would have been awful.

can i just say this one last thing..... looking at my calendar for December..... i have 2 more show before the season ends. season 2 starts in april,

3 Xmas parties,

1 fundraiser for becks play

then I'm going to SC to see my mom for xmas for a couple of weeks.

umm....hello life!!!

i was so miserable last year.....that i slept Christmas day away cuz i didn't want to see anybody. not one decoration the last 2 years. do you remember how depressed i was.

"thats about it. so life has been a major bummer. im not digging the holidays and very ba humbug and thats just the way it is. im very depressed and lonely really." dec, 06

now i can't wait to decorate. I'm so excited. we saw this pink feather tree that she fell in love with that I'm looking on the Internet for it but i doubt well get one. maybe next year.

LOVE YOU ALL!

"Another Time"...finally here

so since my last post more things have changed. ive been a busy girl.

so i left off at the parade. ok well since then ive become more involved in the theatre company and am not part of the company. Production Manager would be my "official" title. im learning a lot. i am stage manager in training, sound tech, administrator (handling scheduling, rehearsals, dealing with the actors, etc.) and i love it. its fun, hard work, at times overwhelming, but i truly do love it and am thinking of pursuing a career. never to late i guess.

ive also moved.

im now living in chicago with rebekah. at first i was going to sublet her friends apt while he was away for 6 months, but we decided to just be roomies and save money since i was going to be at her place most of the time anyway...it just made sense. we actually live well together so that worked out...and then.....

i lost my job.

my postition was absorbed, so they no longer needed me. that was the week of sept 16th. im still unemployed. there is a part of me in panic mode (a very small part) most of me considers this a blessing in disguise simply because i was starting to not like my job anymore....it was getting oh so boring doing the same thing every day.

so i find out next week if i'll get unemployment and if that happens.....i will take the time to really find something i want to do instead of taking whatever i can get. i really want to work within the community for a LGBT organization. that is what i really want to do. so we'll see what happens. if i can take the winter off....i will be one happy camper. parking is going to be a bear around here.

so here are some pics for ya!!

I got a crazy new haircut!! a faux hawk. this was taken a few weeks ago. i don't alawys keep it like that but that is the style of it mostly.

this is me and cast a the parade in june. pic is small , sorry

this is what i see every morning when i walk out of my building. its about 50 ft away. when the sun is out the water is crisp and blue and simply gorgeous. i love living here. i am literally sitting in my car getting ready to go to work.

well its 1am and im getting sleepy. i do hope to update more often but honestly there really isn't much to talk about. today i woke up with beck, made coffee, drove her to work, came home, made myself something to eat, surfed the net for some jobs, picked up beck at noon, went to lunch, went food shopping, came home, took a nap, watched greys, did some theatre paperwork that ive put off way to long and have been sitting here since GA was over.

granted not every day is like this....this was a particularly light day.

tomorrow i have a closet to clean.

so you see.....really haven't missed much. :)

but thanks for sticking around!

love & hugs

Busy Busy Girl!

WOW!! My life has completely turned around!! I went from "my so called life" to "Sex and the City" only not so much sex and whole lotta city. And I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am!

So let me introduce you to my friend Rebekah. Since the first day we met we clicked. and have been pretty much inseperable since. especially lately. ...more on that later. anyway...shes is this great, positive, beam of light, hysterically funny and i am blessed to have her in my life. ive talked about her before, she has a theatre company, ive posted her poster on the site for her show (which was yesterday and ill talk about that too). She just found out last week that she is now 2 years cancer free, in fact this weekend is her 2 year anniverary since her transplant. I can't say enough good things about her...shes just a beautiful person, inside and out.

so since knowing beck ive been hanging out in the city a lot. i go to her place a lot. it used to be a weekend thing i would crash there and hang out and now....i basically come home to get clothes and pay rent. which is why im home tonight.

so as i mentioned before Beck has a Theatre company (Bare Boned Theatre) because of that shes been involved is some fun activites that i have been helping her out on. the fundraiser was one. we had a blast and she raised more than she expected. THEN...one night were at her place and were making t-shirts for her cast for the Pride parade. Hamburger Mary's, the resturant/bar that is sponsoring her show invited her and her cast on the float to promote her show along with them which was very exciting. This year i was finally going to the parade with my friend Cindy cuz in the 8 years that i have lived her i have never gone to the parade. so since beck was going to be in it....i definatley wanted to go and support her and her company.

so were making these shirts and she says..."would you like to be in the parade?" and this is me...."are you fucking kidding me??"so not only was i going BUT I WAS IN IT!!! and it was by far one of the best days of my life!! oh. my. God. i have no idea how long the parade was in mileage but it was about 3 hours long. i can tell you that much. i wish i can say i did the whole thing.....i pooped out toward the last half hour.....and only because the floats were going faster and i just keep up. but the up to then, i. was. on! handing out the post cards, i was getting high fived, felt up by gay boys and girls!! seriously...they just put there hand out and touch your boob!! it was great!!! so many came out to hug me....my shirt was awsome!!! we had the BBT logo on the front and the pic of the poster on the back only mine had the logo going all across the front of the shirt makeing a rainbow stripe. it is fantastic. im trying to get some pics and ive been checking you tube to see if anyone captured us. we were number 163 out of 250 floats so not likely. but i have hope. there were pics taken so as soon as i get some ill show you. so i was in the Gay Pride Parade. OH...so like i said i pooped out toward the end. so i found this sushi resturant with window seating so i went in and finallyl sat down...i was overheated and im sure dehydrated some....so it was nice to get some food and water and watch the rest of the parade go by. so i text beck to let her know what happened....and we'll meet up later...she can pick me up since we drove together, EXCEPT......i have her keys.

so now...my happy day just turned ugly cuz everyones stuff was in her car and THANK GOD i forgot to lock her doors so they were able to get there stuff...but she needed to give 2 rides AND they still had rehersal to go too at 6 and it was 4. so needless to say i was upset and she was mad and things got a little tense so i got my food to go and started walking again to find a cab to get to her quickly which didn't happen so she told me that she got a cab and is coming to get me. at this point my self esteem shot to an all time low. the "i hate being fat" thoughts flooded my head...i should have finished the parade and beck was great, bless her heart....i was very comforting as i just lost it in the cab and i hated that!! she thought i was upset cuz she got bitchy and i didn't even care about that....i was so upset with my self for not finishing, for being fat, and forgetting i had the fucking keys!!! that lasted for about 5 min and all was good in the world. we were on our way home. it was a long fun tireing day and i will never ever forget it!!

so that was June 24th and since then i have been helping her more and more with her company and i am now a part of it!! she needs help. she does almost everything herself so i keep her orgainized and do things that i know i can handle. yesterday was opening night and man it as great. the turnout was fantastic! we got more people than expected and im learning more and more everyday. Production Assistant is what ill be doing and eventually in managment. really i don't care...i just want to be a part of it and help out where i can.

its been a lot of fun and now im fading. so ill continue this another time.....
