THE WHIRLWIND THAT IS MY LIFE

Things have been a little nutso over the last 7 days.

I moved out of my apartment, I quit my job, I spent time (and got drunk) with people who matter to me in LA and went to Denver for four days, where I did the following:

I did two shows, I was in a wedding. (plus a rehearsal dinner where I ate my weight in Indian food), saw some funny boys, hung out with a lot of old friends, randomly ran into friends from Boston who were here, saw (and shared a moment with) Jonathan Pitts, who was in town for a very sad reason, spent time with a few of my nieces, saw one of my nieces off to the air force, got a haircut, went to therapy, saw the hot chiropractor (and his wife), went to a weight watchers meeting, OH, AND I did a 10K!

I got my ass out of bed. And did it. Damn you, blog guilt. I set out to walk it, but whenever some dumb kids or group of annoying ladies were pissing me off, I ran to get away from them. I ended up running a lot more than I thought I would. It hurt, but overall it was fun. The best part is all the food they give you when you finish. And I scored 4 Ben Gay Patches! (Don't be jealous).

There were a lot of people I didn't get to see this time...and it makes me sad. I wish I could have fit everything in.

BUT, it was a good way to go out. Now I'm in Chicago- rehearsals for the cruise ship gig start tomorrow morning. And for the next few days I'll be packing in as many of my Chicago friends and shows as I can....and then I'll be on the cruise ship where I will probably have TOOOOOOOOO MUCH TIME.

It's going to be a huge adjustment. I have designed several projects for myself to keep myself creative and busy, but cross your fingers. You know what they say about idle hands....They grab another plate and go back to the buffet.
