This show is amazing. I’ve always been a fan of the musical and feel privileged to be a part of this production. The cast is talented beyond belief, the choreography is superb and I’ve heard this rumor that the costumes are amazing. I’m just saying…you should all check it out and see for yourself.

- Working on a shoot. My parents once told me that if I don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. So basically, this is the last time I’m mentioning this project.

- A mosquito bit me 4 times. Dan and I have spent the past 3 nights hunting a tiny bug in this giant house.

- I am working on my craft blog. It was originally supposed to be for the store but due to the economy, I have decided not to start my own stamp line at this time. So the blog became my craft blog, allowing me to participate in blogging groups and contests. You can check it out Here.

- My sleep schedule is completely wacky. I stay up all night (hence this 1am post) and then sleep once it gets light out. I really need to fix this or my parents are going to think I’ve become a vampire.

- Speaking of vampires, we watched True Blood season 1. Great show, but it had more sex scenes than I was comfortable with. Then we realized that season 2 is currently showing on HBO, which we don’t have. I have to be patient to see the rest of them?! Ugh.

- My parents are visiting this weekend. They arrive on Thursday and leave Saturday, which happens to be my Dad’s birthday! I’ll see them again at the end of the month, when I visit Dallas. I’m already scoping out the rubber stamp stores in their area. I’m sure they are thrilled.

- Speaking of thrilled, Dan’s pretty excited to have surgery this month. (I know, I worry about him too.) He’s mostly excited because it will be 2 weeks of recovery time, which he will spend playing WOW when he’s not doped up on pain meds. He’ll probably also have me run his errands for school that he doesn’t like to do, such as supply shopping and picking up textbooks. He’s already trying to milk it whenever I ask him to do something he doesn’t want to do. “Will you take out the recycle?” “But I have to have surgery!” It’s going to be a long month…

- This blog has been quiet due to all my recent crafting and setting up The Greeting Garden blog. (I might have to change the name of my company, but more on that once I make a decision either way.) I’m also on the search for my next few shoots. I have 2 that I’m on board for, but one doesn’t have set dates yet.  And lastly, Dan is my only muse for blog fodder lately. As soon as classes start and I start a shoot that not headache, I will have more to talk about!

I just signed on to be Key Wardrobe and Production Designer for a short film. We begin shooting in August in various parts of Arizona. There will be one day when we are filming at the border of AZ and Mexico…in the middle of the day… Did I mention it will be August? In Arizona? Be prepared for Facebook and Twitter updates similar to “I think I’m dying” and “My brain is melting out of my head.”

Dan and I are fighting Verizon right now. I made the mistake of telling him that I wanted to upgrade to a Blackberry. Whenever I’m on a shoot, I get a sudden influx of emails. Some of the senders have a tendency to freak out if I don’t reply within 30 minutes and then will call with the same message. So Dan researched getting us Blackberry phones. Long story short, the customer service rep lied to him and offered us a deal that should only be available to new customers, Verizon won’t honor her price quote, they were rude and no one will return phone calls. Whenever we do find someone to call directly, their number mysteriously becomes invalid the next day. I finally contacted our Verizon rep at work who was going to handle it for me, but then he got sick. I worried at first that he was trying to sidestep me/the situation, but his phone is being forwarded to another rep in his absence. So I guess it’s only fair to give him more time since he’s been out of the office for almost a full week. I was so tired of hearing Dan get angry about this that I made him promise to not mention cell phones or Verizon for 2 full days. We stopped at Game Stop over the weekend, which happens to be right next door to a Verizon store, and I could feel the anger radiating from Dan. Kudos to him though; he honored his promise and didn’t utter a word. I’ve decided that if we can’t come to some sort of compromise with Verizon, I’m going to force Dan to cancel our account and switch to AT&T or Sprint. By now, I would pay the $200 contract termination fee just to be free of the horrid customer service. 

…I should warn Dan not to read the blog today. I don’t want him to get angry all over again.
