…new news…
hi again everyone! i know it’s a been a little while since i posted again…it’s been a busy week! in fact, for the next few weeks, spare time will run fairly short. we’re getting into the home stretch on little shop of horrors, which means a good bit of time spent at the theatre. like this morning: painting plant costumes from 10 to 2. oh boy
i’m so excited to see it all come together!as for the birthday excitement that i promised to share, let’s see…
friday night was an amazing dinner at delhi palace and a trip to art bar for the improv show. i managed to win an official art bar players t-shirt…which ended up being a bizarrely small "everyone loves a brown-eyed girl" shirt. (**note: i think i’m going to try to make one of my monsters out of it and auction it off to make some $$ to donate back to the players, yay!) the show was exceptionally good–skaggs was in quite a few of the games, and he completely rocked!
saturday, lex and i hit the road for a quick trip to charleston for a craigslist dance…which didn’t end up working out. it was really unfortunate. apparently, the guy we were going to meet had a couple of people in line for the guitar and sold it to someone else–just as we parked in the garage across the street from the meeting point. we had hardly gotten out of the car when lex got a call from the guy. it was pretty much the most frustrating thing ever, and i was so angry at the guy for lex’s sake. we did have a lovely walk through the market, though, and the weather was lovely, so it wasn’t a terrible day, over all.
sunday was lunch with my family. we celebrated both my birthday and erica’s, since we’re a week apart. it was really nice! mom had gone to some serious effort on food for lex and me–she made these awesome veggies for spinach wraps, and she’d made me a vegan birthday cake! it was chocolate with peanut butter frosting and was pretty much amazing! besides the usual birthday money, i received some new jewelry from my folks and a sewing machine from my brother and erica. (**sidenote: that was totally sneaky. i thought i was getting the machine from lex, because he’d had me check it out to make sure it exactly what i wanted.) lex had made a collage of pictures of us from our various adventures–vacations, camping, etc. and had gotten it printed onto a canvas for me to hang. it is amazing and i love it! in fact, i’ve already gotten good use out of everything i got! i’m hoping to post some pictures soon of the first official refashion i made with my sewing machine. and i used some of my birthday money to set myself up with a whole new set of workout gear–new pants, new tanks, even new scrunchies! now i have enough pairs of pants to get me through the whole week–without having to wash them every three days!
so, it was an excellent birthday and with a hectic schedule, there should be plenty of fun to get into in the coming weeks!
have a great weekend!
