Memorial Day

Today, I spent painting in the morning and afternoon and found out that I am a bit of a workaholic, which prehaps I have been for awhile but I didn't realized how much until today. I really could have stayed at work for a longer time, whether or not it was need who knows. It is good I guess that I am not working my hours but someone else's. This will hopefully give me time to pursue other things. One of which being a writing workshop group. After work today we, Tina and I went to a grill out/ car wash through there wasn't really any car washing going on. It was interesting to hang out with one of the PA's as well as Rory and Eliot who are always fun to be around. I miss going up the hill and working but I won't missing moving furniture and stuff like that. All and all life will go on. Though my grandfather is still ill and will most likely not recover. My mom is doing better in some accounts but not in her numbers which is a set back both physcially and mentally. I am going home this weekend, and hopefully will be able to help out some around the house. Now I am going to go down stairs and read some poetry until the simpsons come on.

First week at APT

Started work on Monday at American Players' Theatre. It is awesome to be back. Got a huge hug from Eliot as well from SDH, and Bill. It really did feel like coming home. Said hi to all the shop guys caught up with Terry and Sam, poked fun at Nate, and introduced myself to Emily our new shop forman. I alread like her because most of this week we have been listening to her music and while there is some country in it there is also Jack Johnson, Cake and Beck! While Cake and Beck were sort of played before I think Jack would have been vetoed.

I am going to try and actually write on my blog every day so to catch up with the week.

One cool thing about Monday that had nothing to do with my returning was the fact the Tracy and Marcus got married. I was really happy to actually be able to watch the ceremony. It was a beautiful day, and I got to see Colleen and Jim's baby. Yes he is adorable!
Tuesday was interesting too because about an hour or two before we left a huge storm came in, it poured then poured some more, trees were sideways then came hail then it stopped and was nice for the rest of the day. Go figure!
Wednesday, I learned to play sheepshead. I was observing the game while people played, Terry and Nate's girlfriend Susan were awesome. They keepy showing me there cards and one time Susan grabbed Nate's cards to show me. The next time everyone gets together to play I hope to actually play.
Thursday I went back to Milwaukee, I love returning to a city you have not been to in a while and yes I know it has only been three days but still Milwaukee has a welcoming feeling to it when you come in on the highway. It was great to see everyone and well worth the drive! Especially with all the information Mark told us about websites. I hope to have an actually website up very soon.
Friday went to Madison! because Madison is also another one of my favorite cities as well as being the home to my friend Coral. We watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which was all together not a memoriable movie. But the snickers were priceless, as well as the night with helper monkey.
Saturday was working all day with the entire deck crew. We got so much done. I can't wait to go in tomorrow and paint some more! I think it is funny that this show is so big, and our openning show for a classical theatre and it really is not a classical period play. I can't wait to watch it during tech. Sarah Day is the star I hear.
Today is Sunday and my rest day, I could have gone to Bob fest, a day of celebrating Bob Dylan and I still might go to the birthday parties tonight but this has to be the first day when I have nothing that has to be done. I just want to sit and do nothing and so I do.

Busy, sick and honored

Woke up today feeling horrible. Sunday, night spent well, yeah, I was sick. So yesterday I went to work then after five minutes felt sick again and went home. Today felt a lot better but still icky. Yet my day went from 9-8 non stop. And I had a test so I couldn't skip anything. Started off the day with Fiction/poetry workshop, it was great, though I had hot flashes all the way through. Talked to my professor afterwards till 12:35 went to my study group for Chem for my Chemistry class at 1:10. took the test, went to the early session of Art History, (where we watched yet another video of Frank Lloyd Wright) got done with that grab some leftovers from the pizza party that I missed oops. Go down stairs hang some lights (actually watch Brad and Shawn hang some lights, still not well enough to climb ladders) then was late to Sigma Tau Delta honors dinner, and now I am here in the digital imaging lab writing this. Oh the craziness of a stritch day.
