october just slipped right past me without a blog. i am spending a lovely sunday doing laundry and starting to get this house in order for the
holidays. here is what else has been on my mind lately:
*i spent last weekend at home in KY visiting family and friends. it was absolutely wonderful. i never had a free moment the time i was there. i hung out with the kids, went to a scary (?) halloween party, saw
robot boy (or same name like that), ate a lot of candy, went to the
titanic exhibit, ate some
pie, went to see
the tragicall history of doctor faustus with the reverend, had dinner with the reverend, caught up with my sister-in-law, went to see an old friend, and generally had an all around good time. i love
fall in KY, and the leaves were especially beautiful, so it was a great time just to be there. i am looking forward to going back for the holidays.
*speaking of fall, i have decided i love the
fall and winter in california the most. right now, it still feels enough like fall to me with the leaves changing and the chilly mornings/evenings but warm days. i love it.
*wireless internet rocks my world. after 3 weeks of internet catastrophes, i finally am back in cyber world. i gotta tell ya, i am missing that mobile broadband connection not even a little bit.
*i am going to redecorate my space after the first of the year. i already have my eye on a
couch and a
chair from the world market. it's time. i have not updated my look in all these years so it will be a fun experience. i'll just have to take it a step at a time. first step: buy a new mattress for god's bed.
*i am going to be working the crew for show at the
san luis obispo little theatre this fall.
how to succeed in business without really trying. i am really excited if even just a touch exhausted about the 20 shows i will be working between now and christmas. mostly excited. i think it will be a great experience, i love this show (god bless
michele lee), and i am hoping it will open some doors to meet some new friends.
*i watched
marley and me this morning which i knew was going to be a big mistake (spoiler alert: the dog dies). i cried like a baby and had visions of having to carry off my own gang to the vet when the time comes. speaking of my gang, one is hissing as i type. she has been in rare form this morning. marley may have been the world's worst dog, but i have the world's worst cats. examples to prove my point: the broken wall piece that covers the plug in the spare bedroom, the appearance of a cat on the side of my bathtub as i was trying to shower this morning, the condition of the blinds in the back bedrooms, the early morning risings, the pissy fits, the cat on fire, etc. etc. i love every minute of it. these little furry creatures have wound their way into my life and heart. maybe i should write a memoir about them and make a lot of money.
*i am going back to school. i haven't decided if this will happen in january or next fall. i just know it is happening, and now it is just a matter of figuring out the logistics of it. this has been a dream of mine for a long time, and i am excited about it. i don't want to talk a lot about it yet because i still have to iron out some details in my own mind. more to come later.
*current music loves: the weepeies, damien rice, sondre lerche, joshua james, william fitzsimmons, hanson (always always), and foy vance. i made a kick ass moxed CD yesterday.
*i am in a really good place right now. i am working on some stuff in my life, i am spending time with friends, and i am really looking forward to the holidays. it's the time of year i feel like anything is possible. i am all about getting out my christmas CD's and watching the traditional christmas things (including all the
knots christmas episodes). i plan to do it and have a good damn time.
that's all for now. happy sunday!!
