Day #46: Finding Nemo

July 1, 2011

I had some of my Beauty and the Beast friends over to watch Finding Nemo. It was a grand time. Afterwards we threw that rainbow ball in the background around which was actually hilarious fun, then we went to someone else's house and played night volleyball, swung on their swing set, and made a few calls.

Day #44: Bad Sleep

June 29, 2011

I really need to get in the habit of taking pictures of the highlights of my day, rather than just the random parts..Anyways, I hung out with my Chitty Chitty Bang Bang friends and watched a movie with them. But, I didn't get any pictures of that, so once again I will talk about something else! 

I have been getting really bad sleep lately, and my sister thinks it's because of the new antidepressants my doctor has my trying. I can't sleep at night and just lie awake tired until 2 AM. So usually I get up and do stuff like paint, or read, or just stay up watching TV or something stupid because I won't be able to sleep anyways, so I might as well be doing something. Then I sleep in until 12 because I finally get to sleep and my body won't get up. But I'm tired all the time. That isn't so unusual, but I tried napping the other day and tried for like an hour but couldn't. That is unusual. Normally I'm tired all the time and can fall asleep on command after about 15 minutes. Maybe if it is a side effect it will become less prevalent once the medication starts working.

The weirdest thing, though, is when I got up the day before I was really disoriented and off balance. Which is probably from the lack of sleep, but I really couldn't balance just standing up. It was weird.

Day #19: Picnic

June 4, 2011

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang play date! We went to a park and had a picnic. The weather was lovely and we got iced tea, walked the boardwalk to another park, got gelato, walked to another park, then walked back and got local cupcakes on the way.  This picture only shows a corner of the park by the water. I didn't want to get a picture of the whole thing because there was so many people I didn't want to feel like a creeper, which my friends were already calling me a creeper:) There were so many giant groups of hipsters having barbeques. It was grand!

Day #12: Shoe Penny

May 28, 2011

Day two of play dating. We left for Dennys as soon as the sun was up and soon felt the repercussions of an all nighter. Anyways, as you may know theater is very superstitious. One thing we do before a show is put a penny in our shoe for luck. I've kept all of my shoe pennies from shows in boxes and such things. I've also gotten in the habit of when stumbling upon a luck penny on the street sticking it in my shoe for safe keeping. People sometimes ask me if it's uncomfortable when dancing on stage, but you really don't notice it that much. You kind of just sense it. It's something to focus your nervous energy into. I put my penny from Chitty in my Converse. I feel like it keeps the camaraderie there while my new friends are off until the next play date. It's like a little secret smile in my shoe from them.

Day #11: Play Date

May 27, 2011

Get it? We call getting together with show people play dates..see that nifty little play on words? Anyways, having such a crazy, crazy week was actually beneficial seeing as I didn't have time to miss everyone from the show! Needless to say, though, a plethora of hugs was exchanged upon everyone arriving at the play date. It was like we'd all spent no time apart. Everything was just as natural and fun as ever. It was hard to imagine not seeing anyone again for another week, especially after spending almost an entire 24 hours with everyone. It was a much needed get together. We all felt it. There are no people like show people.

Swag HON;)
