Carson came down from OK for Christmas, so we all went out to eat at Oreganos. Marque brought along Riley. She's gotten so big and has an attitude like her mohter. :) I also got to go to Cynthia's baby shower. This is her first. We've known each other since 4th grade. Everyone was suprised to find that out. She's doing amazing and should be having him anyday now.
1. I have an obsession with anything and everything Irish... ask anyone who knows me.
2. Therefore my favorite color is green.
3. I was a model when I was 15. It helped me make the decision that I didn't want to work in LA and to do theatre instead. Correct choice!
4. I wear pretty much the same jewelry everyday. Including the necklace my sister gave me for my 16th birthday.
5. The theatre is my life and probably always will be. I hope. (Right behind having a family.)
6. It's pretty common for me to turn and follow any guy who smells good. For at least a few steps.
7. Confession... I use mens bodywash.
8. If I can't reach behind my back and touch my hair, it's too short.
9. I didn't have my first kiss till I was 21, and he dumped me through text messaging a week and a half later. (jerk face)
10. I've never broken a bone.
11. My mom says that I got all of my creative talent from my grandma. And I know that she would have been proud of me for my taste in music (1940's).
12. My dad's parents met at a roadshow. It's in my blood.
13. I'm the 'black sheep' of my family. The majority of my immediate family members work in either the medical, electric, business or real estate field. Even my sis in laws. Me...Ohoohohohooh, THEATRE!!!!
14. I love to take pictures. I have more than I know that to do with. And am in very little of them.
15. One of my most embarrassing moments was falling on an audience member during a show I was acting in. It was a very small stage with the audience all around it.
16. I had feelings for a guy for about 4 years and never told him. He's married now. I'm a lot more bold these days.
17. I would love to work on Broadway. Either on or behind stage.
18. My dream job besides theatre would be a whale trainer at Sea World.
19. I sometimes tend to be too nice for my own good.
20. I procrastinate... a lot. I need to work on that.
21. I love Shakespeare. The man was a genius.22. I don't like wearing shoes. Unless they are slippers. I would wear them to school. I'd rather be barefoot all the time.
23. One of my biggest regrets is not keeping in touch with friends I had when I was little. I've found a few though.
24. My favorite holiday is Halloween. Guess why... I dare you!
25. I would do anything for those that I love no matter what time of day. I never turn my phone off if I can help it. EVER!
We had it this year over and Sterling and Jill's. And of course we all took turns passing Myrrhissa around. She fell asleep on Lindsey. We had breakfast, opened presents and chatted for a while. Ronna and Cameron left after that. Lind's went home to take a nap while mom and me went to visit uncle Mitch. We met back up for dinner at 5. Sterling cooked and prepared everything. It was all German recipes. It was sooooo good! Merry Christmas to all!!!
Just a few pics from our party. I'll have to get more off of Amber's camera. Notice our lovely fireplace on the wall. :) We had a decent turn out. These were taken when it first started.
So our garage door broke a few weeks ago. Finally got our landlord to do something about it after a stern talking to by Amber. It was a rediculous situation that should have been easily resolved. Out LL was supposed to call them and set up the appt. After almost 2 weeks from the original imspection, she then calls me to ask if I can set up the appt since it needed to be around our schedules. I said that would be fine. So I call and set it for Mon from 3-5. I called the next day to change it because my work schedule changed. So it was then set to Tues 9-11. Come Tues morning, they don't show up. I call again. They forgot to change the time. Ok. Back to 3-5. Good thing I had the day off. Come 3:45, they call me and say they will be there in 20.....come 6, no show. I call again. Now my LL can't be there to pay them anymore so they have to set up another time. I give them my schedule and LL's number. Either tomorrow 9am or after 6. Next day... no show in the morning. I'm driving to work around 1:45 and get a call from them wanting to come do it now. I reminded them of my schedule that I gave them the night before and told them that I couldn't do it till after 6 if not in the morning. I tell them I'll call when off work. I get off early and call them at 3:45 and tell them to come at 4:30. No show. Call once again and tell what happened. They said they will send another crew at 9am next morning. In the mean time my LL bring over their credit card. 8:15 next morning, I get woken up by the doorbell. GRRRRR!!!!! So anywho, the original crew finally shows up and fixes the door. And one guy says something about me being mad at them... I wasn't really. I was more annoyed than anything, but I sure didn't get a reason not to be. So now the garage is fixed. Happy day!
So I got a job offer from Allenberry Playhouse in PA, but alas it was only an internship. I can't afford to move out there for an internship. I would have loved to have said yes, but I need more than what they offered. I'm currently doing the day work for Christmas Carol for Actors Theatre at the Herberger. It's only a few hours a day, but it's better than a kick in the pants. Good news.... sort of... I hope.... so I talked to a friend the other day and she said that she put in a good word for me at Busch Gardens in VA!!!! I asked her how she new that I applied there because she was living in Ohio and we haven't talked in a really long time. Turns out that they caller her last minute and had her work there from Oct-Nov. They saw that we worked with the same company (shakespeare) and asked her about be. She said that she gave them a rave review!!!!! Holy cow. It's crazy what connections surface in random places. This was the first place that I sent my resume, and it's the one I feel the best about. This is the job that I want. It still scares me to move away from everything I know and love, but putting a time limit on it help. But still, to move cross country it a huge step for me. With everything that has happened lately, I just feel that I need to get out for a while, to take a big leap and break out of my box. I'm usually pretty outgoing, but I'm not the same person I used to be. I need to find that person again. I miss her. Does anyone know where to find her, or willing to help me??? Supermodel surch party anyone?
