I have tried to write this 3 times now. The same thing will happen. I will start to type out a new post and then I will get distracted by life. I will go back, read it, decide that the things I am talking about are not relevant anymore and then delete the whole post. 3 times I have done this. And every week that I didn't post something new I felt like I was letting my hobby die. I really really like blogging. It isn't because I think tons of people read it. It's because it makes me happy. I have always been into journaling and I like social media. These two things make for a perfect blogging life! I like being able to go to a new place to blog every week. It's like a little date that I take myself on in every city and I really enjoy doing that. I was getting really frustrated with myself because in general it is really hard for me to get a hobby and hold onto it. Most of the time Netflix or Hulu will overcome any and all free time I have and before I know it all I have done for a week is binge watch Shondaland and do my show. That's yucky and I don't want to do that. It took me a minute of self frustration to realize that I hadn't been posting because I was living my life. Like, my real life. And that made it hard for me to find time to blog about it. Typing that out seems silly. I was doing things that I wanted to blog about but by the time I got time to sit down and write about it I was doing something else exciting. After my mom was in town Wes came out to tour for a while in Sacramento. He was with me for 2 1/2 weeks and it was wonderful. It took us a minute to remember how to be a couple. That's one of those weird things that you never really think about having to worry about when you are in a long distance relationship. You have to be able to maintain a relationship when you can touch and look at each other all the time and when you can't. You go from trying to maintain a conversation that lasts longer than 10 minutest to suddenly having to check with another person about what essential oils to put in the diffuser and it makes it a bit of a challenge. It's a welcome challenge...but a challenge none the less. The cast of Beautiful is currently in San Jose and we are about to go on a layoff week. This lay off week is particularly the bomb.com because it's thanksgiving week. This year instead of Wes and I choosing who's parents we spend thanksgiving with we are all doing it together. His parents, my parents, the whole shabang. I'm very excited. I like to say that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday but I think that I just like holidays if I am being honest. Halloween really gets me going as well as every other holiday that exists. Including but not limited to Labor Day. ( I just read that sentence and it actually is sounds so lame...but i'm keeping it.) After Thanksgiving I am spending a couple of days in NYC and hopefully seeing some lovely friends (if you are one of those lovely friends hit me up), a short stop in Tulsa, OK, and then we do a 2 month sit down in Chicago. I am so friggin' excited. I just want to sign up for all of the classes and do all the things. SPEAKING OF CLASSES If you are reading this and you know of any voice teachers in Chicago that you would recommend please let me know. Biddy needs to get back in that learning mode. It's been a minute. Wes is going to be in Chicago with me auditioning and taking voice over classes and stuff. I think it'll be really good for us and a wonderful way to end out a year that no doubt has been the most eventful of my life. I learned some cool things about myself in the past couple of weeks and I chopped off all my hair. I went to the doctor and was told I had pleurisy and went to an apple orchard. I didn't have pleurisy and I am better now. I drank apple wine and tried to go up in hot air balloon for Wes's birthday only to have it cancelled 3 times. I went to a GIANT sock store and ate an overpriced lunch in an old fire station. I got new headshots and saw the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time. I walked up about 500 stairs in the course of 2 days and sleep within 1 mile of Charles Manson. I drove a mustang and I spent $200.00 on dinner one night because it made me happy. I ate lunch and drank whiskey at a whiskey bar. Cheers to living life to the fullest.
