Being in my room is so peaceful. I'm sipping soda, half listening to Jennifer Aniston and talking to Whitney on the phone. Remnants of a raspberry smoothie -- courtesy of Jeremiah Stephens -- is sitting on my desk, and I'm daydreaming about making furniture look beautiful and beaches.
I had a good talk with my daddy today. Those are the best. I haven't been able to get in touch with Ash, Dayna or Rae. Apparently, it's a busy Saturday for everyone. Maybe I'll give myself a manicure while I wait for Janna to return to the winter wonderland that is Cedarville. The snowflakes are falling slowly, and they're huge. I wish I had someone to go play in it with me right now. Namely, Krysten, who is still lost to the great state of Indiana. But never fear -- she'll be home tonight.
I had lunch today with Ruth, and it was a near-spiritual experience. She gets me immediately. We click and laugh and talk about the Atkins diet and weddings. Her mother who is 85 is getting married next month to a man she met in August, so there's much to be planned and discussed. It's nearly as exciting as Amber's wedding. But not completely.
I'm going to go find Janna, take inventory on the concessions stand and try to finish reading "The Betrayal" so I can get a good start on "The Da Vinci Code". Tonight: performance number 3 and a movie night at Janna's. It doesn't get any better than this.

Opening night is over. No more could be asked for.
It's cold outside, and I think I'm tired of it. I want to be able to go out and play with my dog and walk for hours and lay on the grass behind St. Clair by the tennis courts and stare at the sky.
I got the best e-mail from my Aunt Syl today. I heart her so much. Why does Maine have to be so far away? And why on earth does Canada have to be even farther?
Today is gold name tag day. It doesn't happen very often, so I know you are all so excited that you can hardly handle it.
I want it to be SGA chapel.
I like my strawberry melon drinks. Fruity drinks are the bajibblies right now. Saying that word reminds me of my Rae and then I miss her so much.

I'm in the CAD lab during one of the world's longest rehearsals. Why do I love theater so much? I love working with Janna and crashing at her house and fighting with Brandon and Nate until we have bruises on our arms and they laugh at us while we beat them up.
Today ended up being a better day than it began. It was such a long, hard weekend. I spent the early morning hours at Janna's getting ready for the day. Had a meeting with my advisor to tell him about being the first junior to ever get accepted into the MBA program at Taylor in Indiana. I am an East Coast girl.. why do I stay in the Midwest? Rrrr. So next year I'll be stage managing for Diane, the professor that I love, working on my master's and finishing my undergraduate degree at the same time. Crazy.
I am off to manage the drops and the lighting of the candle. And eat my egg roll that Nate is bringing me.
I miss my roommate.
