Hello, Friends!
This post is coming to you LIVE from the new and improved internet connection in my Holiday Inn Express hotel room in El Paso, Texas. As the smell of my frankincense essential oil and the sweet sounds of SZA fill the room, I sit here on my king size bed (that I only use half of...seriously half of the bed has remained made up to perfection since I checked in) prepared to fill you in on my life and provide you a bit of entertainment on your Thursday evening. I must warn you, I am very tired and I just got my computer fixed so I am excited to type. Get ready for some ramblin'. Tomorrow is Friday!! Which for me doesn't matter because it means I am about to go into a weekend of two show days, but for you I hope it means time off and lots of sleeping in. *brief bunny trail that TRULY has nothing to do with anything: There is a pizza place down the street from the theatre and I went there last night for pizza and tonight (your judgement is accepted). I walked in and this man asked me if I was ready to order (he worked there, he wasn't just some rando man) I ordered my pizza and a fountain drink. After him asking me many questions about my life he whispered to me, " I didn't charge you for your drink." ... Sir, work on your swag. I would be going home with you if you had whispered "I didn't charge you for your second slice of pepperoni" (not really mom. It's a joke.) I am in my second city on tour and its really hot and hard to breath here. We are at an altitude of 3,740...if you don't know what that means...it basically means you feel like you're going to die anytime you do any sort of activity. -Our dressing rooms are two floors away from the stage. -We are doing a musical. -We are alive and functioning humans. THERE IS A LOT OF ACTIVITY! It's hard out here for a Kentucky girl (a western Kentucky girl...we don't deal with that thousands of feet above sea level mess). I am still trying to get used to this whole tour life thing. It's a big struggle to get out of this hotel room and do something other than laying around and watching Netflix until call. I think I am going to start making it a goal to do something outside of my hotel/ airbnb every day. I'm already exhausted thinking about it. That is a thing I really have to get on top of. This was going to be the city I "started to do things" so far... I have watched 2 full seasons of Weeds since Monday. So I'm basically killing it. I am excited to get into a rhythm and get settled into what my life is for the moment. That would be chill. In short: Life is good. My job is sweet. Long distance relationships are hard. I really enjoy travel sized bottles of toiletries. And I saw a cat jump fearlessly into the gutter last night; I can only hope to be that brave one day. If you are reading this and you have any suggestions on things that I should do with my free time feel free to comment! No promises that I'll take your suggestions because I really enjoy being lazy and complaining about it, but I might! * special shout out to: Sarah G. Who was shocked that it took me years into our friendship to divulge that I was a blogger. Our whole friendship has been based on lies. I'm sorry. Sarah B. Who just didn't understand what my blog was...here it is, you're welcome. And to Kaylee, I haven't said anything about you yet. Wait until we live together next week. Peace out, ya'll! See you in Oklahoma City!
