Yearbook

I have been bombarded with friends from the past. And I have to be honest - I like it. I like that we have found each other, that we have had some time apart and have things to catch up on and that we are wanting to stay in touch and make new memories together. After high school, I wanted nothing to do with alumni. Now, considering who is it, I am welcoming with open arms. Let's chat, share a drink, make some plans... It's great!

A lovely day...

I spent part of my evening, last night, with my goddaughter, Ana. I am always so amazed by her. Last year, we went to go see the ducks at a park. Since then, she has been obsessed with them. So of course, our adventures began there. Chasing and observing "duckies".
She is braver than I ever was as a kid. At only three, she takes on the world as a fighter. She is loud, strong and not ashamed to show it. She takes careful, stratagized steps and relishes in her accomplishments. I learn a lot from her. She is definitly one of my favorite people onb this earth.

LD

So, a friend of mine was telling me about a guy I used to date. This guy totally had a hold n me and I thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. Anyway - she was telling me how he is with someone else, has his shit together and is really happy. This, of course, made me feel blagh until I remembered our little nickname for him: Limp Dick. Then, I felt all better :)

A-Tisket A-Tasket

I don't care how old I get, I LOVE dying Easter Eggs! It's one of my favorite holiday traditions. The smell of the vinegar, the process of preparing... The wonder as the eggs get darker and darker... I love to share the moment with people. Like it's the most exciting thing we've ever seen.... It's just so cool.

A day of Walden

I was a bit of a hermit yesterday. I never left the house. Never changed out of my pajamas. I slept in late. I kept my cell phone off - all day. Try that sometime. It's amazing how much I depend and how many times I went to look at my cell phone. Just one day away from it made me feel distressed. I worked most of the day - made class plans, watched 'Sweet Charity', and made final changes to music for the show. Then I had some serious cuddle time with Lucy kitty. I feel bad sometimes that I'm never home. She missed her mommy. So now I am back to the real world. Back to civilization. I encourage all to try the no cell phone for one day. It's amazing!

Adult pacifier

Does anyone else find the "adult pacifier" Tom Cruise bought for Katie Holmes deeply disturbing?!?!?!?

Together forever

I spent the day with my best friend. Best friend doesn't even begin to describe the relationship I have with Magdalyn. It's almost as if God didn't give us sisters... And then we met and became each others chosen sisters. I'm already starting to miss her. For those of you who don't know (this is where I get to brag), Magdalyn has been accepted into the American Shakespeare Academy in Washington D.C. It's a one year program where she gets to learn all about her craft while earning her Masters from the George Washington University. Amazing and wonderful, I know! But I can't help but feel a little sad. My best friend will be far away. It's pure greed that makes me feel this way. I love having her here. In reality, she will, most likely, get a great job opportunity from this and live somewhere else than Cleveland. As happy and proud as I am for her, I can't help but be a little sad and greedy and want to keep her for myself. No one knows me like Maggie. No one gets me like Maggie. And I feel confident to say the same for her. With today's technology, I know we can stay in touch, but you can't hug a phone. I savor everytime we get together, knowing that n the next few months, it will be impossible to do. I wish her the best. I want nothing more for her than for her to be happy. I just wish it was closer.

Remote Control

My entire day was scheduled around the t.v. Incredibly sad, I know. But I actually got a lot done. I watched my 'Roller Girls' marathon for about 3 hours. I then had 5 hours to do all the things I had to get done (which was A LOT). Was like a college freshman on speed; cleaning, doing laundry, making up class plans, running around, giving Lucy a little playtime... and then it was time for the Indians and their season opener. I am exhausted.
