Life in the fast lane

This month has been exciting but busy to say the least. I finally moved into my own place and I have never felt more at home. My parents have been incredible and I couldn't have done it without their help. Having my dad around even though we never see each other has brought me such a comfort. I adore him and I can't imagine a better roommate. I feel like I am becoming that girl with 5 todo list's laying around because I can't seem to remember where I put the last one. Or the friend that forgets to call or write people back. (I hate those kind of friends;) My brain is always busy and I am trying my best to keep my new "adult" duties in line. Gosh you people have so much "stuff" to take care of and think about. Some days I just want to be a kid again! It's not all that bad though when you get to come home to a place that smells and feels like home. A place that is full of your stuff and is a constant reminder of your many blessings. I am so blessed and I am even more grateful!

Work these past two weeks has been weird. Weird is the only word to describe life in the Circus sometimes. Anything can happen there. You should never say "well, it can't get worse than yesterday" cause trust me...it can. BUT there is one thing I would like to clear up. I know from facebook or even this blog you may think I hate my job, or that I am unhappy. Such is false. I have one of the most rewarding jobs there is. 9 times out of 10 I come off stage with a smile on my face saying how lucky I am to do what I do. With the amount of physical work and how tired my body feels most nights. It's easy to get emotional. "Something" is always new, different, wrong or exciting in every show. It most definitely keeps me on my toes. Yes I cry a lot but the laughter in the girls dressing room or out onstage always out weighs the tears. I am just an emotional person but that is part of what makes me a performer. I love my job and I am grateful to go to work every single day even if my body feels other wise! xoxo - a girl in the city

a runner.

I'm not a runner. Never have been. I know lots of runners and I am always inspired by them. I think I want to be one, until I start running and about 1/2 mile in I start to feel the burn in my calves and lungs and instantly remember why I'm not a runner. But yesterday I received a text saying "6 mile mountain run, meet at my house at 9am". 6 MILES?? Never in my life have I run 6 miles. I have also never run with a group of people. I'm generally a get in my zone and don't be bothered kinda girl. To my surprise I said yes. I figured I'd soak up a little sun and scenery then bail after about mile 3. Not the case. In total it was 5 miles and took us an hour. It was beautiful but the almost 3 mile HILL at the start was not my favorite part. I am now lounged on my bed feeling the dull ache in my legs and wondering what tonight's 2 shows are gonna feel like. YIKES...
On the flip side I am pretty proud. I am also inspired all over again. I do love to run. It is a different kind of love. I hope to get better. I also hope to start running a lot more. Maybe one day I will actually run a full 6 miles. Maybe. And last I  hope that tomorrow when I wake up and can't walk, I will try to remember the parts I did enjoy about this morning. xoxo - a girl in the city

Football and Family time!

Super Bowl 2011 was a success. Green Bay won. My limey (non alcoholic) margaritas were delish. The food was amazing. The weather was perfect. We played, we laughed, we ate! What more can I say... I sure do love my family!

Hiked to the Dixie sign

I think I've had enough green to last me to St. Patrick's day. Bring on the red and pink for this sweet month of LOVE! xoxo - a girl in the city
