birds.

birds are marvelous creatures.

i love to bird watch in the city...it's one of my favorite things to do. they are so intricate with their movements and make flying look so easy...if it were only that simple to just take off..

so the show i've been working on is coming to an end tomorrow night. it's a bittersweet ending...i'm excited to have a little more time on the weekends to dance, but at the same time, this is the first show i've worked on...so it's kind of close to my heart. i'm sad to see it end. :(

many more to come though...

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

going to this garage sale tomorrow morning at this retired center for old rich people...sooo excited! maybe i will find a new purse that i have been needing since i moved here!

i am a new fan of studded things...except those choker necklaces. those are a bit much.

okay...so here is a few names of the people i work with (i find them all to be quite interesting):

Karim
Habib
Ciprian
Eghord
Debashis
Mohammed
Abou

haha...they are all from different parts of the world. very fascinating people.

16 days till i am home in my own bed.

can't wait.

wet socks.

stupid weather. so full of deceit. it was sunny and warmish earlier, then turned to 35 degrees with rain and wind. and i definitely wore the wrong shoes...which resulted in wet socks and cold feet.

awfulllll.

so my dinner consisted of black pitted olives (that were soaked in olive oil, red peppers, and other amazingness) and red pepper hummus on watercrackers. seriously...don't judge. you must try it...heaven on a cracker.

i have decided i am in love with swing dancing. there is no other feeling like getting this crazy rush as you get thrown across the dance floor.

okay...there might be a couple things comparable. like riding horseback at sunset on acres and acres of cleared land and eating popeyes chicken. :)

haha but seriously...definitely my favorite part of the week when i get to dance.

working a double shift tomorrow...should not be awake right now.

this song won't get out of my head...such simple lyrics, but so powerful.
"I need you more"- Bethel Live

also...i've been loving me some ella fitzgerald these days. she is a delight.

shirley temple.

i love shirley temples...not too much grenadine, and no cherry please. :)

so. in case you didn't know...i live waaaay out in the suburbs and i am actively looking for a place in the city. like pronto. i like where i live...it just isn't practical. the money i'm spending on transportation getting in and out of the city is equivalent to what i'd be spending in rent in the city. and i have no car...so therefore, it makes no sense to live in a place i can't get around in.

plus...i'm sick of feeling like a burden asking people for rides constantly. it's rather irritating.

i still can't believe my mother is getting married...whatever makes her happy i suppose. i'm beyond ready to come home and visit though...feels like centuries since i have been home!

so i had my first day at ruth's chris today...and as i was walking to work, the sole of my shoe just came right off.

i wanted to curse and laugh all at the same time...and laughed instead haha. plus i know this cute little shoe tailor old man in the city who could fix it real quick because he has fixed my purse for me. the strap broke while i was just walking around in the city...it was rather strange.

i seem to attract lots of strange occurrences though.

work was alright. it was crazy hectic...like i'm talking madness. and it's a monday!! i can only imagine what weekends are like...

come together right now.

yay beatles :)

God spoke to me tonight through a train conductor (a cute little 70ish year old man named John...he's precious :)

he didn't charge me for the train ride home and he even gave me a ride home from the train station.

it was quite amazing.

i made it to church today by the skin of my teeth....after missing my commuter rail train by a milisecond as i watched it fly by and then i missed my subway...

ahh the joys of public transportation.

my left hand is asleep...just fyi: i'm having to type most of this with my right hand because it is hard to function my left hand while it's sleeping. i wonder what the technical term is for a body part to "fall asleep" and what your body part is actually doing instead of sleeping, because we all know my left hand isn't sleeping.

we had a bon jovi/beatles/weezer improv concert after the church service was over today. it was pretty much...amazing.

i am so hungry...but i don't have enough energy to go downstairs and rummage through the kitchen. therefore...the thought of breakfast in the morning must fill me for now.

living on a prayer.

red hatters.

google has a space theme today. just thought you should know.

i need some prayers if you don't mind...lots happening in my life these days.

little old ladies are so cute. :) the red hatters came to the show last night. they were ADORABLE. i wanna be a red hatter some day...if i don't die before then haha.

i am so not looking forward to the rain the next few days...i still have yet to find my umbrella and i don't have a raincoat.

sooo impractical...

story of my life.

had another great show last night...definitely my favorite night by far. i even had some friends come a long way to see the show, it made my night :)

going to this event called "fight club" tomorrow after church...don't worry, i wont be fighting haha. it's training on how to become more of a Godly woman.

hyacinths are lovely.

embrace the change.

feels like i haven't blogged in a year...ahh the distractions of life.

woohoo!! i got a job. it's for a hostess and server's assistant position at ruth's chris steakhouse in boston. it will be great to get me on my feet while i am pursuing doing hair and makeup for a theatre production company of some sort.

oh...and my mom is engaged...

and i finally got popeyes today!! YES.

oh and i'm coming home the second week in june for her wedding. clear your calendars AR peeps :)

went to a spa day with some amazing gals and this "wicked awesome"(haha...can't get over this phrase) Bible study last night. it's refreshing to be around lovely gals who love Jesus.

God is so good. like...in every single way. it's amazing what he will do in your life if you quit being stubborn and just let go of your pride.

but he will continue to remind you how prideful you have been...

over. and over. and over again...until you really and TRULY let go.

so tonight kicks off another night of the show i've been doing the hair and makeup for...there was a reviewer who put this huge article on the paper on the front page saying how much they loved the show...and they even gave a special shout out to the hair and makeup artist. yay!

i want a dog.

luke 10:3

tarot cards.

what an eventful day...

let me first say...good bbq does not exist in the north and i was thoroughly disappointed when i ordered a bbq sandwich and out came a chicken breast with bbq sauce on it on a crappy untoasted bun.

laaaaame.

second. i have an interview tomorrow...pray for me please.

third. my sister lauren found out she's having twin boysss...yay!! they will be such studs :)

fourth...

i got a palm reading tonight. i have never gotten one before and it's one of those things i've always been curious about but never took the initiative or found the time to do it. my friend and i were just driving around though and i saw it on the side of the road....

so we went haha..

this was what i remember of the reading...she talked really fast though and it was a little overwhelming getting all of this information in such a short time, so if the thoughts are a little jumbled, just consider the source (in the words of my aunt...haha i love her):

she told me i am blessed by God...that i have a lot of good things that happen to me, but along with the good, there is always something bad that happens that puts a damper on things. she said i have a good heart, compassionate. she said i am confused...not sure where to go. she said i want to get out and travel and see the world, but financially it isn't an option to do what i want to do right now, but she said eventually i would. also said i would eventually be successful, not necessarily financially, but that i would eventually be content with what i was doing. this was also interesting...she said there are men in my life that have feelings for me, but that i don't have mutual feelings towards them. she said i have already met my soul mate, but he has yet to share his feelings with me. and according to her, i am meant to be a mother of 2, a girl and a boy...

weirdness.

that's all i can say about that.
