Fall is here! Hurrah! I love it when it gets a little colder. I like Halloween and Thanksgiving. I like boots and sweaters. I like it all.
It also means 2012 is almost over. Stupid 2012. You have not been so good to me. No offense.
How does one turn their luck around? Elsa tells me to put my wants and hopes out into the universe and then it will give it back. Erin told me to watch this documentary about making shit happen (I still haven't.) It's not like things are terrible or something but they haven't quite gone as I'd hoped. Little things, bigger things... life's okay and then something kinda sucky will happen.
Aaron and I finished watching the mini-series Mildred Pierce last night (damn you're so awesome Kate Winslet!) I would rather be me than Mildred. So I got that going for me, I guess.
I did decide to do something radical with my life recently and I went ahead and quit my second job. I've been working halftime for 6 years as the Administrative Director at Albuquerque Preschool Cooperative. I love the school and the people and it has been truly a joy to work there. I'm leaving to work only at Tricklock. ONLY work my theatre job. Whoa. Crazypants. No, Tricklock did not suddenly come into a shit ton of money. Aaron and I will have to get creative about our budget but I think we can do it. I cannot wait to work ONE job. Will I actually be able to finish things on time? Will I sleep better? Will I accomplish most of what I want to accomplish? Will I actually get to spend more time with my husband? The answer is yes. I have decided. YES.
My last day is in late spring and then Aaron and I leave for our epic Europe trip. See you soon Prague.
We really do like each other
I recently finished book one of yet another vampire/werewolves/wizards book for teenagers. I think instead of picking up book number two I will spend the fall reading depressing, heartbreaking books. I quite like books like this. A little Larry Brown or William Faulkner (maybe I just like southern writers?) I'll just embrace the difficulties, the season, the year. Look upward, push forward but also read this Cormac McCarthy book Drew gave me.
Healing, healing, healing...still healing. Things are going very well on that front. Feeling better every day. I did have to step out of an acrobatic move in the new show. Drew had to step in (speaking of Drew.) I just didn't think I'd be up for the challenge before we opened. I'm getting it back though.
NEW SHOW!!! Opens this Thursday. I really, really, really like it. It is weird, dark, funny, and strange. Come see it! It's called Finger Mouth and I'll be all over FB with it here soon. Yesterday was our long tech day and it was so much fun. Just Hannah, Nando, Alex, and me working away. It reminded me of early Tricklock days. We were laughing and working and getting shit done. We stopped mid day for burgers and beers and then we went back to work. It was a great day. I can't wait to continue the journey of this show.
I hope October is treating you well. Cheers. xo

I like and love this blog a lot Juli. I'm also starting on my sending my wants and needs out to the universe. So far some little things have trickled in and so I think it's working. I've been talking with Erin about doing a vision board day coming up in the next few weeks. I hope you'll be able to join in? (Also, I REALLY love the picture of you and Aaron. What a lovely couple.)
