You will remember to wash your hands before you eat anything?


She is doing the MOST.


In Ohio we used to have a phrase “doing the most” and it meant a multitude of things it could be used when someone was being really funny or stupid, or when someone wore something off the wall, but I liked it when it was used because people were trying too hard.

Well, Life is doing the MOST right now. I know it is 2012, I know the apocalypse is near… (right), but life is absolutely giving me some serious food for thought.


I have only a few constants in my life. There are only a handful of things I can count on to happen on a daily basis. I never have to worry about my food, and I can go to the gym every day. And on the weekend I have way more constants a show; but even that is going to go away after next weekend. I used to have a lot more constants when I moved here. And to be honest most of them were social constants. I would have someone that I knew would text me good morning. I would have a person who would call me on his way to get cigarettes. I even had someone who would talk to me as I was ready to fall asleep.

These things were so comforting, I feel like now I am left to my thoughts in the late night, and in the morning the responsibility rests on me to tell my self good morning and a positive thought for the day. And it’s ok. It is not ideal, but I have pretty much made myself happy for the last 20 years, so nothing should stop me now.


I am not good at rejecting people.

Now when it comes to theatre I’m great at it; because that is a job. That is a business. Life isn’t a business. I have been rejected more times than I care to count.  So I end up in silly situations. I could really go on about it, but I don’t want it to spiral any more than it is already in my head.


My family is so important to me.

My mom, dad, sister, and uncle went to see my show on Saturday night. After the show was over and everyone was filing out my uncle fell into a grand mal seizure. He is fine now, but it was a terrifying and it made me think a lot about the way I treat people. It was very much like the episode of How I Met Your Mother and Lily’s you’re dead to me look. It just reinforces the idea of being more pleasant and not taking things for granted in 2012.


I am down more than 20 pounds.

I am truly excited to be making such wonderful progress. I’m a third of the way there. I would love to wear a bikini this summer and feel pretty great about it.


I’m directing a musical at a church.

This has brought all sorts of new challenges that I could not have fathomed before. I’m still very optimistic and excited about it. I can’t wait to get started.


That’s an update. Life is doing the most.
