You know the day destroys the night; night divides the day...
Hey! I'm back home. The road trip was fun, saw some great sites, ate some AWESOME food (Lobster in Maine = love), aaaand was sick for most of it. Ha, yeah, my family and I were sick pretty much since Tuesday. There's a lot of stuff to say, and I don't feel like going into it all JUST this minute, so I won't, but key takeaways from the trip are:
-Fenway Park is BEAUTIFUL
-Busch Stadium serves some weird food at the baseball games (Stir Fry, stone-oven pizzas...wtf?)
-"Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly Love" is a LIE DIRTY LIE
-Annapolis is gorgeous...and I may travel there more often.
-Ben and Jerry's "ONE Cheesecake Brownie" ice cream gave my sister and I food poisoning so...no more of that.
Ha, maybe I'll elaborate more on those stories later. Since I've gotten back, already some interesting stuff has happened. Adriana's dad is better now, so that's good...Jory's graduation plans are...shall we say, on hold unfortunately, that's bad. Smash still isn't having any luck speeding up her departure to Alaska to be with her husband, which is bad, but that might change by the end of the week!
AAAAND...Rachel is getting to go to Texas Tech!! There was some doubt, but now the plan is fully into motion. I'm still restricted on seeing her (random trips into Hobby Lobby are good though, hehe), but perhaps when she gets out to Lubbock and I go out there every now and then to see her, things will be better. I'm reminded of a section in the book I just finished reading The Art of Racing in the Rain (GREAT book by the way), where a dad fighting for custody of his daughter gets renewed strength every time he sees her. That's how I feel every time I see Rachel. Her reaction to my arrival and the subsequent brief conversations we have get me through to the next time. Yesterday, since we came back early, I went up to her work to surprise her. She wasn't thinking I'd get in until tomorrow, so she was SUPER surprised to see me. Her face got all red and it was cute. After she was done closing, I sat with her in the parking lot for about 30 minutes and got to talk to her, catch up on things, etc. so that was quite pleasant.
She surprised me during my trip by sending a text message from Smash's phone (her parents track EVERYTHING), and that was a GREAT thing to wake up from a road nap to. Then seeing her reaction last night was pretty much a week-maker. Heh, we were both shaking from excitement...alright, enough of that...don't want you guys to throw up from my gushing.
I'm going to try and restart my lifestyle. Eat healthier, exercise (just to tone up...probably will help casting wise), take more acting jobs, get organized. We'll see how that goes though.
Speaking of acting jobs - if anyone is in the area Wednesday night, the casting director of the film I'll be an extra in (A Tribute to Big Red) is looking for A LOT of extras for a scene at The Majestic in Dallas. The dress is super formal (it's an awards ceremony), and there'll be a few celebrity cameos (they didn't tell me who). It's from 3 p.m. until whenever they get done, but if you want more details, leave a comment, and I'll tell you everything.
I'm also hoping to reconcile with people from my past. I've already made peace with two of them, and there's I think three or four more I'd like to get back in touch with and see what's going on with them. It's good not to have shadows in the past or skeletons in the closet, or what have you.
I've also been thinking about possibly getting a second bachelor's in Accounting. I was going to minor in Accounting, but I couldn't because of a prerequisite class that would have required me to stay an extra year - something I really didn't want to do. It's definitely an idea that is in it's earliest stages of development. Nothing definite, but something to toss around in my head.
That seems to be all the news that comes out of my head today...so I'll talk to you all soon!
