Social Networking

Facebook, Twitter, and a blog. I have all of these, and I love it. I move a lot and have friends all over the world, yet I am able to keep in contact with them and know what they are up to so easily. It is a blessing for sure, and I am very grateful.

Most of the time I love hearing about the crazy things my friends' kids say. I love looking at the beautiful wedding pictures, and seeing all of the responses that come up when a mom sends out a plea for advice. I know a lot about teething, play dates, book clubs, the school system, primary programs, crafts, recipes, bigger cars, and bigger houses.

But sometimes I feel that my face is being rubbed in this news so much that my nose is beginning to feel raw. Sometimes another wedding announcement is just more than I can handle.

Today was almost one of those days, until I saw this.

Today, we single folk got to take over facebook for a little while.

A good day.

As I buried my head into my pillows last night I thought to myself, "today was a good day."

For some reason, by the time I got to rehearsal I was in one of my "sassy" moods. This turned out to be a good thing because I completely won over the cast.

For as much as my family complains about my sass, everyone else seems to appreciate it.

Suddenly, working with these people until December 31 seems like a wonderful idea.

I also heard this song this morning and loved it.

Because it's blah.

My last post was June 5. Wow.

I'd like to be able to say that I've just been so busy doing amazing things that I haven't had the opportunity to write a blog about it all, but that's not true. In reality I didn't really have anything good to say and I didn't want my blog to be depressing and stuff.

I also felt like my life got boring. If my life is boring, why would I want my friends and family to suffer through it on the blog? I feel bad though, because this is how I keep in touch with a lot of people, so perhaps I should put more effort into it.

So update on me. Since June 5th I have:

Finished working in Washington DC and driven from DC to Salt Lake.

Worked at Lagoon on a crazy Cirque show for three weeks.

Spent some quality time with my family.

Sold my Jeep and bought a new car.

Put a lot of miles on my new car driving to Syracuse, New York.

Visited NYC.

Opened and closed the most boring and frustrating show I've ever worked on.

Now I am starting rehearsals on my second show at Syracuse Stage, where I'm working as the Assistant Stage Manager until the end of March. I've been here for just over two months now, and it's been the most difficult move I've ever had (and that's saying something). The adjustment period has been really long. I feel like a lot of it had to do with the awfulness of the first show I worked on. Once it closed, I really felt the huge weight lifted off of me.

So here's to new beginnings, fresh starts, and being able to recognize "blogable" things in my life.
