10/9/11 Strawberry Goodness

There is nothing like homemade strawberry freezer jam. I always love when my Aunt Sharon makes some. I wish I knew how to make it. I love strawberries. I love chocolate covered strawberries. However, if I were to choose a jam for my toast I would normally choose raspberry. There is one exception: freezer jam from my Aunt. I would even accept it from other people who made it. I wish I knew how to make it. I think I already said that. I had some on some biscuits with a little butter and it was like a little piece of heaven in my mouth. Mmmm.

I am thankful for strawberry freezer jam.

10/8/11 Salmon!

I really like fish in general. To eat that is. I mean, they are fine as pets or something but I am specifically referring to them as a food right now. I especially like salmon, and smoked salmon at that. Today Jason and I stopped at the Sushi place for lunch before our matinee. I don't particularly like sushi but I like teriyaki stuff that they also usually serve. I ordered the salmon teriyaki dinner and it was a little expensive but I just decided to get it anyway. When they brought it to the table I had to stifle a laugh. It was gigantic. Half of what they brought me was still more than I think I would have gotten in another restaurant. I ate half and then got a box for the rest to eat later. Now I get to have delicious leftovers too! Although it was a little more expensive than I was expecting, it was definitely worth it. It was plentiful and yummy.

I am thankful for my salmon dinner.

10/7/11 Free Tickets

We learned tonight that we are all being given two free tickets to I Love You Because for tomorrow matinee at Broadway Rose Theatre Company. I have a few friends in the show and heard it was cute so I've been wanting to go. Since we each get two and Jason is usually my date I invited Erin Shannon to come with us. And then she suggested we go out for lunch before hand. What an exciting afternoon I have lined up for tomorrow. And it was a great surprise.

I am thankful for my lunch date with Erin and Jason tomorrow.

10/6/11 Picking Up Where I Left Off

I have made a goal of reading the top 100 banned classic novels. No, those aren't band classics, they are classics that have been banned. I am starting at the top and reading them all. I am also choosing to reread things I did in school. I figure I will get a little more out of them as an adult the second time around. Telling people about this is also good because it strikes up some good conversation. I took the summer off while Ethan was here and I'm just getting started back up. Probably because I am reading Ulysses. People keep telling me that I shouldn't read it, it is terrible. Oh, it is terrible, but I will finish it. And I'm so close. I'm hoping to have it done by the end of this month and then I will be so happy to cross it off the list. So far I've read The Great Gatsby, Grapes of Wrath, To Kill A Mockingbird, and The Catcher in the Rye. Let's see how long it takes me to get through them all.

I am thankful for my reading goal of the top 100 banned classics and all the conversation it stirs up.

10/5/11 Urban Surprises

I always wanted to live in the city so my significant other could surprise me with Chinese take-out from just down the street and flowers from the corner market just like in the movies. I lived downtown at one point and that never happened. Today I came home to Jason telling me that he was taking me out for Chinese food for dinner. It wasn't a surprise take-out box. It was a surprise take-me-out. So I guess that is cool too.

I am thankful for my surprise dinner!

10/4/11 Can I Please Land This One?

Callback today! Hooray. I think it is the new hair. I match my headshots and look much more put together and not lazy. Maybe I need to make this more of a priority if I am going to try to do commercial work. It wasn't such a big deal with theatre. I can always dye it once I land something or I'll be in a wig and no one would notice. Here's hoping.

I am thankful for my callback.

10/3/11 Mr. Clean

I wish he would come clean my bathroom. In his absence, I did. I am not fond of cleaning bathrooms, but I am less fond of dirty ones.

I am thankful for my clean bathroom. Even though I had to be the one to get it that way. :)
