okay so it's been a wild stinkin' ride since my last entry. i won't even get into all of it but basically i've been working a lot between teaching guitar, repping at the bank and being the 'flipside coordinator' at church while kerry took some time off.
now i'm back in the 'practically unemployed' seat and i'm looking forward to the break. i haven't had much of a break this past week though and i'll get to that.
a couple of high lights since the last entry:
- i randomly took off to hollywood for a late birthday present to myself. i was there for 2 nights and took in the musical 'wicked'. i fell in love with it and the flame for idina menzel was rekindled, even though she didn't play elphaba there.
- have been talking to the higgins manager and he is trying to squeeze a fundraiser concert into the band's summer touring schedule - raising money for the weekend to end breast cancer. i'm really crossing my fingers on this
- booked my ticket to cranbrook for kate's wedding. super stoked about that.
- a new addition to my family - patrick the guinea pig. he's named after patrick brewer on mcleod's daughters. i felt sorry for him in the pet store.
- i bought a car. my first big girl purchase. 05 pursuit, orange, standard. she's purdy and totally suits me. i'm still deciding on a name for her...my brother's bonneville is named bonnie, so i'm thinking of some sort of p name for my pursuit but that's for another day.
- rachel was down this past week, from monday til friday. we spent the whole time chilling out, we saw a movie, we went to the mall (ugh), and then on thursday we went to syracuse to see idina menzel in concert. it was stunning - i can't believe the live caliber this woman has in her voice. and she was funny...you always expect a concert to have just music and minimal talking but she was totally talking with the audience and interacting with everyone, being genuine and real and kind of bitter and crass. ha it was hilarious. she even told the audience what we can do if we didn't like the encore song she picked...hehehe. i know it's rude but it makes me giggle.
low lights:
- booked but had to cancel my flight to england for lib's wedding. it's just gunna be too much money and i SO can't afford it.
- had a bit of a breakdown in...oh i dunno...january? february? got really sick a few times and had my very first panic attack in nic's car...
- have had wonderful boy falling for me for the past two months, to my surprise, but he doesn't love Jesus more than he loves me. that's a silly way to put it but i understand it. and the timing is all wrong. grr.
- haven't done any school stuff, and now i only have 2 months left to get it all done. ugh. hopefully now i can concentrate on it a bit more.
anyway that's about all. today is (yet again) another work day for me and i've gotta get my butt out the door...oh just about now. i'm housesitting at the sylvester's again...just me and patrick.
no painting this time, though. just reading. and if i think of picking it up tomorrow night, school work.
