Long time no see...
Well hello everyone...I'm alive. Summer has been full of surprises for me and my family...and I'm proud to say I've survived them all. Where to start?
Well, my Dad found a job, so he's super excited to be working again...and I'm incredibly proud of him for being persistent. On the other hand, my Mom lost her job, and she truly loved it. I think what makes her situation sadder is the fact that the kids she was working with will miss her so very very much. I spent a day with her while her kids were in school and my goodness how they just adored her. She worked with special needs students...and I know she's more worried about how they'll do without her friendly face around than she is about getting another job. Rightly so. She's been a fabulous mother...and I know she was shaping those kids the same way she did me.
Speaking of kids...we recently found out that my sister is pregnant! I'm gonna be an aunt!!! Woo hoo!! Aunt Stephanie here I come! She's due in February...right around Valentine's day. I'm sooo excited and happy for her. It's been a good decade and a half since there was any kind of baby in my immediate family...this will be all kinds of exciting. Although my Dad isn't so sure how he feels about being a Grandpa.
Work at Friday's is good...no more credit card bills...just making money for saving. I'm hoping that I can keep working during the school year and that by the end of it I'll be ready to haul my ass out of Youngstown and transfer to NYC. Cross your fingers for me.
I'm really excited about Marigolds starting soon. I've been itching all summer to perform somewhere...and while the Gospel show was fun it just didn't satisfy my craving.
So I'm getting three new roommates next year...how about that huh? Not too sure how I feel about this. I thought I was only getting one...and I thought I knew who it was...but apparently not. Ok...so thinking about this is making me angry and I don't want to think about it any more.
On a lighter note...I'm reading "The DaVinci Code" by Dan Brown right now. I've always been a bookworm, but Mike had literally never opened one, so he decided that if I like it as much as I do that it can't be ALL bad. So we decided we'd both read the previously mentioned book together. It's fabulous...if you haven't read it...READ IT...and if you HAVE read it...tell me what you think!!!
Ok, enough blabbering...I'm sleepy. Goodnight all!
