Fairy Tail

The dream continues. I'm just enjoying the pants off this trip.

The Producer and the Wu went on a walk with me this morning (we have done this each day since our arrival). Today we stopped off to visit the ponies that are only a few minutes away. As I was nuzzling the little gipper (I have fondly nicknamed him Willow) I thought to myself and then outloud to the girls, "This is such a dream. Like a fairy tale...complete with ponies."

Oh What A Beautiful Day...I've Got a Beautiful Feeling.

I am currently writing this from the floor of the studio here in the most beautiful place that I have ever witnessed fall colors. I am here with the Wu and the Producer...and the other producer - we'll call him the Saturated Fat Nazi.

Before I left for my trip, I received a couple care packages. One was from my sweet parents.

It was complete with a new Kitchen Spices candle from Bath and Body Works and some lotion. Also included was the Excedrin that will cure the inevitable headache, the country special edition of People magazine and a card that said 'may all your dreams come true.' I love you Mom and Dad. You've never been anything but enthusiastic and supportive when it comes to my ideas and hopes.

The second care package came from McWhereHaveYouBeenAllMyLife (his nickname continues to be completely fitting and increasingly more obvious). He sent me away with a Moleskine city guide for my destination - I stare at these every time I'm in Barnes and Noble. He also compiled music for each day that I will be gone on a CD. Each CD was perfectly enveloped in meticulously color coordinated wraps. Inside each envelope are letters. So far, these letters have forced me to just pause and think...oh my. I've got something here.

Will keep you posted. Here we go again!

Man Oh Friday!

Dear Blog,

I have had so many things happen in the last few days that I want to chronicle and I just haven't. I haven't taken the time to post pictures or stories on you at all. I want to, I really do.

I am leaving for Seattle to work on Plan A. If I have down time, I hope to catch you up on the happenings.

Thanks for being here for me, blog...it's been over a year now. You're still looking well.

Love,

LayneStreet

Tale As Old As Time.

McWhereHaveYouBeenAllMyLife is acting in a musical that opens this evening. He is playing the role of Gaston in Beauty and the Beast.

Beauty and the Beast was my movie when I was little. When the girls and I had our Disney Princess dance party - I was Belle.


The fun fact? I had a big crush on Gaston. The Beast was exactly that...a beast...for 90% of the movie. Gaston was hot the whole way through. Sure he dies in the end, what hero doesn't?

Coincidence? I think not...sigh.

Swoon.

Break a leg, McWHYBAML! You're the best.

Nobody Gonna Break My Stride...



...nobody gonna slow me down. Oh no. I got to keep on movin'.

After weeks, nay months, of avoiding the plague that's going around - I have undoubtedly contracted a strain of H1N1. Either that or I have a head cold.

At any rate...I'm still going! I got too much to live for.

Last Nerve: Segment 2.



If I had 47 items in my grocery cart and saw that you had 2 items, I would say, "Hey, please jump ahead of me in line - shoot. I insist."

Not everyone aced grocery etiquette class. I didn't either - but I rarely go so it doesn't matter.

Taking Things to a Whole New Level

Well, friends (hi Mom!)...you're not really "in a relationship" until you're "in a relationship" in your information section on Facebook.


It's true. I'm still working on a McName for him - the only two that come to mind are : McWhereHaveYouBeenAllMyLife or simply McBoyfriend. The first being really long and not very catchy and the second is just not very creative at all. Anyway.

The funny part about Facebooking and relationship statuses is the fact that Facebook sort of acts like this voice of reason in the decision making process. We decided to make the declaratory act this morning and when I received the "relationship request," it read as follows:

"Would you like to confirm McWhereHaveYouBeenAllMyLife as your boyfriend?" In other words...are you sure? Really?

Had there been a button that said, "Yes, Yes I Really Would," I would have selected that option. Instead, I quickly and happily selected, "Confirm."

It's official. Thanks, Facebook.
