Going to Be a Busy Busy Year

Hello Hello!! Surprised to see me???  Thats right I remembered 2 weeks in a row!

We are hardly half way through the first month of this year and already I can’t believe how busy its going to be!!  House Managing at Genesius Theatre, taking part in both Man of La Mancha and also Miss Saigon ( at Genesius Theatre ) My sisters wedding planning ( big day is in November ) and of course Thats What She Said business is all already on my agenda to keep me busy this year.  Im sure i’ll just get busier as the year goes on. At least im busy doing things I love  for the most part.  These past few days have been rough I dont know if it’s the weather or what but I have been feeling so down in the dumps. Nothing is really wrong and I cant put my finger on what is bothering my I just feel yucky…Im hoping this feeling passes soon.  Maybe if the sun would shine and these drizzlies would go away i’d feel a little better. I seem to have been overcome with a case of SAD seasonal affective disorder lol.  On a positive note..it’s payday!!! for me at least…haha There is a ling list of things I want and somethings of course I need…Revlon Lip Butters for one…i am dying to try them buuuuut i reallllly dont need them…lol tupperware drawers..they fall into my need category my poor boyfriend has no where to store his ever growing wardobe…so now I need to make some decisions on what to spend my money on lol…however i think my main decision should just be to win the lottery.  Ok thats enough babble about nothing!! hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

The New Year Is Upon Us!

I’m sorry again! Apparently I’ve gotten myself into an every other week schedule of remembering I have to blog.  Little secret….im very forgetful!!  I hope everyone had a fabulous Holiday Season and is looking forward to a wonderful New Year.  Im very excited for the new year….because….we get to start taping soon!!! Yayyyyy!!! I just can’t believe how time flies…the older I get the quicker it goes. My mother keeps telling me it only gets worse! haha.  My New Years Resolution??   To stop forgetting to blog every other Friday!! I’m serious..lol my other new years resolution is one many people choose every year…and that my friends is to lose some weight…and when i say some weight I mean like 70 lbs. Its a huge undertaking BUT my little sister is getting married in Novemeber 2012 and im determined to be looking like a 32 year old hottie in that bridesmaid dress. I’m hoping nowing that im going to have to wear unforgiving Sateen will be enough to keep me on track and actually get this weight off and keep it off  ( with the help of Bee Pollen by Athena of course ) .  So far the bee pollen supplement is working well im dropping lbs ive lost between 12-15 so far..not too bad.  Time for a healthy and happy and hopefully skinny new year!!!

Holiday Humbugs

FIrst off and Foremost, I know I Know….I missed again last week. I’m sorry I was on vacation and it totally slipped my mind. 

Now for whats on my mind today…I’m currently working..yuck … I dont know what is going on tonight. We are so close to the holidays you would think people would be happy and friendly and warm….wrong…they are grumpy , short, and just rude.  Now mind you I dispatch road service to broken down vehicles which isnt ever fun for the people calling in to talk to me….no one wants to be broken down. But im dealing mostly with professional truck drivers they are used to breaking down..and I GET that they dont want to be working tonight the morning before christmas eve..but hey im working too!! Believe me I dont want to be here anymore then they do. So lets just at least just try to be friendly and nice to eachother and make it a little easier on all of us spread a little bit of the holiday cheer. I mean where is all the christmasness and garland and gingerbread maybe a present or two and heck lets just cover it all with glitter to make it a little bit better….  Sigh… ok i feel a little bit better now.  I would feel even better if it was 930 am so i could get out of here and start my weekend.  I have to go and get stocking stuffers after work ..so hopefully I am in a better mood by then so I dont have to get arrested for running someone over in all the christmas madness in the stores.  Anyway On that Note I hope you all have a better Christmas Eve Eve then I am having!!

My apologies all around

I know I know… I didnt blog last week…let me explain myself and beg for your forgiveness.  I work 3rd shift 11 at night to 930 in the am…so Im actually blogging at like 2 or 3 in am on fridays and scheduling it to post around noon that day…We were exceptionally busy at work and it just slipped my mind!! I am so very sorry!! Now that we have THAT out of the way….

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week!! Mine was not overly productive but it wasnt so horrible. 🙂 I spent alot of time last weekend and this week at Genesius working on the whole House Management thing….Its alot of work.  But alas…I do love Genesius so I have signed my name and time in blood to them. I cant wait to get back ON the stage though. I havent been in a prodcution since January of this year …so almost and entire year ago.  However there a few shows I will be audtioning for this coming season at Genesius.

Im going christmas shopping when im done with my shift this morning at 0930.  I love shopping whether its for me of for someone else. Although what im not looking forward to his having to split my christmas shopping up between 3 paychecks which means I will still be christmas shopping on the 23rd…YUCK i hate crowds at christmas time as it ….so that should be an adventure..hopefully i dont get arrested :-/ lol

wish me luck!!!

Happy Black Friday!!

The day has arrived!! I’ve been waiting patiently all year.  Time for me to get my shopping on! unfortunatley I work third shift so I wont get as early of a start as I would like, but I did have my wonderful and strikingly handsome boyfriend Brandon in line for me at Target at 4 pm thanksgiving evening! He was fourth in line we are hoping to get the 46 inch flat screen tv for 298.00 its a steal and if you ask me worth sitting in line until the doors open at mindnight. Most believe this to be sheer madness..however its a 200.00 savings for the tv which we really do need….time for that 52 inch projector tv thats yellowed and fuzzy and to hit the road!! Best Buy had the 42 inch for  200.00 which is also a great deal but they had people in tents outside there store since 11pm wednesday night we drove by on our way to target and the line was around the building and they only had 50 tvs to sell we never would have gotten one. We are practically garunteed this one at target with Brandon being 4th in line. I just hope everyone acts like normal human beings and no one gets crazy and angry over a stupid piece of merchandise!! But for me..today when im done work at 9:30 am..( gotta love the 11 pm to 9:30 am shift )i will make my final car payment and hit the stores and hopefully still be able to snag some good deals…wish me luck..Christmas is upon us.  Cannot wait to put the tree up this weekend!!

Starbucks has stolen my soul..and wallet

Whhhhhhhyyyyyy…whhhyyyyy is Starbucks so expensive…and yet so darn addictive?! Its just not right or fair…and frankly it should be illegal!! To have such yummy delectable and attractive treats and make them so expensive.  I have been breaking my bank on these liquid dreams.  I have to tell you the Peppermint Mocha Latte..i’ts flipping christmas in a cup!!  I cant seem to say no to it!! I just keep spending spending spending…i’ve taken to buying 2 at a time..which is an easy $10.00 gone. So what im saying is if go there every day for a week thats $70.00 for coffee …for a week!!!  It’s ridiculous and I cant stop…My Name is Christina and I am Starbucks Addict. Is there a group for people like me???  Does anyone else have this problem????  If I dont get this under control everyone in my family will be getting one pair of socks that I purchased from a 6 pack at walmart for christmas…..because i spent ALL of my christmas money on Peppermint Mocha Latte’s. And really how how much does it cost them to make one of those babies?? Theres not way its 4.75 to make it they have to be making bank.  Its just mean to tempt people with these steaming hot lovelies and make them so unaffordable!  That is all. I will now step off my soap box. Thank you for listening.

What Ever Happened to Halloween??

I am a self-admitted Halloweener.  As Thanksgiving quickly approaches ( or technically vanishes into the shadow that is already being thrown by Christmas ) I wonder to myself where did my Halloween even go this year??  You see normally come Halloween time I have a full schedule of Haunted Houses, Events, Parties, Movies, Ghost Hunting…etc all planned for the season. This season was no different my calendar was planned , jam packed even. Somehow it all got away. No I was’nt overly busy…or to broke to make the wayyy over priced admissions to local haunted events, I just for some reason didn’t go. I was perfectly contecn at home on my couch with my puppies and boyfriend watching scary movies. So maybe the question isn’t what happened to Halloween, but what happened to me??? Was I lazy?  Is the ripe old age of 31 taking it’s toll?? I’m not really sure what it was but for some reason I’m totally ok with it…and well I have a big secret…I mean a BIG secret…seriously…you can’t tell anyone…but for some reason I am really looking forward to Christmas this year..I know it’s shocking.  I guess things are changing, times are changing, I’m changing…and apparently I’m ok with it….although i still have a funny feeling on Christmas Eve when everyones watching Miracle on 24th Street…I’ll still be watching The Nightmare Before Christmas 😉

Stars & Kisses,
