confession time

OK, so here's something I've figured out about myself:

I suck at life when I'm doing tech week for a show.

I don't do dishes, I eat like a teenager, I don't pick up clothes or clean ANYTHING, I don't update my blog, I don't have time to work out, and I have to resist a very strong urge to wear the same thing every day. And sleep in it. The only thing that keeps me from abandoning all personal hygiene is the fact that I have to put on make-up and do my hair for each night of rehearsals and shows, which means washing my face and hair in order to do that.

But here's the good news: after tomorrow (or I guess today) I will be in show mode, which means no rehearsals till Thursday, and then shows on the weekends. I'll have time to sleep, eat, clean, and work out; which will in turn restore my will to put together outfits and take showers. I'll also get back to answering people's emails and updating my blogs. This is the fun part of doing a play!

And speaking of which, opening weekend has gone well so far. So many of my favorite people showed up each night, and I now have enough flowers in my apartment that I could put my vase of fake tulips in the closet! It's always nice to not have to put ALL your fake flowers out :) And doing a comedy is really fun! It's so cool to see how different each audience is; every night different lines get the laughs. It's also fun to try doing lines a little differently each night to get different responses from the audience. I have to admit, laughter and applause are two addicting things! But I think after this show I will need a break from the play-acting.

Other news: I called someone about pug puppies Friday. I haven't heard anything yet, but hopefully things will work out and I'll be able to get a puppy soon! Also, my favorite season, summer, is well on its way! Friends are finishing school and coming home for the summer, and soon my schedule will be clear for days at the pool, cookouts at night, and weekends at lake houses, downtown festivals, and county fairs. And this month I'll make my last car payment, meaning a little freed-up dough for summer clothes shopping (yay!) and, of course, puppy stuff!!! Mix it all up with a solid tan, a couple of weddings, and a week up north at the lake in August, and you've got a pretty excellent summer! It's so close I can almost smell the Coppertone!

OK, shutting down for the night/early AM. Sweet dreams of summertime!
