busy bee

Current mood: indescribable

Matt tells me I should have taken my glasses off for my latest picture....Oh well.

So, I'm a busy busy girl these days. Yes, busy indeed. I'm taking an LSAT prep course (which I'm very dissatisfied with) that eats all of my time, I'm tutoring the hairdressers boys, band practice two sometimes three times weekly, and all of this right before the Platforms head out on tour!!! I'd like to say something like "Woe is me!! Why must I make myself so busy??" but business is good...it's a sign one is living I suppose.

Now, if I could only fill up my business with art projects and furniture building, instead of what I actually fill my time up with. Does that desire mean I shouldn't study Law?? Uh oh, identity crisis...creeping in...trying to avoid the busies...

Perhaps next month will be easier....yes, I'm sure...

Ahhh the traveling life

Current mood: mellow

It's early Thursday morning and I'm still on the road. I left Austin yesterday, flew to Houston...waited...flew to Salt Lake City...waited...walked around the airport some more...waited...bought a buck o' nine salad from Burger King...waited...talked to my dad on the phone about real estate...waited....decided to go to the gate. Pleasent surprising chaos awaited me at the gate! Time to wake up?? People were swarming, I found a seat.

Delta decided to board all thirty of their flights in a five minute period, and one after another they started announcing they were over booked. MY TURN "The flight to Medford, OR has been over booked if you are interested in volunteering to stay behind for compensation please see the agent at the podium."

Picture me (and remember my hair is very blond now) casually walking up to the gate agent. I asked her what the compensation package included.

So I'm writing this blog from the comfort of my Radisson Hotel room in Downtown Salt Lake City. I ate room service for dinner. I woke up early and have been watching the sun rise over the beautiful, snow-covered Rocky Mountains (picture me back in Colorado, 'cause that's where I've been picturing my self). They've given me meal vouchers which I will be using very soon to eat breakfast, and they've given me many Delta Dollars which I will be able to use to buy my ticket to attend my good friend Sarah's wedding.

Now if only I had a change of clothes for my flight to Medford....OH well, looking forward to seeing my Dad and Lindea and my cats and perhaps some long lost Oregon friends.

I'm the lead singer in a band!!!

Current mood: ecstatic

So I figured since I was going to be living in Austin, I had better pursue my secret musical ambitions. I looked for auditions almost as soon as I looked for a place to live. I found one, with a wonderful group of boys called Red Book Audio, but it didn't seem like they were in need of another band member, and I guess they reached the same conclusion. I was sad, but kept my chin up, figured there had to be a good match for me out there. weeks went by, a month or more-- maybe even two--of me searching the adds in the Austin Chronicle and Craigslist. I thought I was done for when I received an email from Satan saying he'd like to get together to see if our styles were a match. Finally a group of girls said they needed a vocalist to replace the one they had and I jumped for it. Long story truncated: They Picked ME! Check out MY BAND's myspace site. Looks like I'll be doing more than just singing, I'll be playing the part of a bombshell dynamo with perhaps a little bit of spy background. You won't see my name on posters, instead you'll see the name of my stage persona. She hasn't been named yet, but i can feel her growing inside. Cheers to me!
