Crazy busy!

So in my crazy hyper-scheduled day...I don't really have much time for blogging at all! Even though dinner theatre ended on Friday, my plate does not feel any less full. It's funny how that happens.

I'd say I'm about 80% finished with my portfolio...I still have to pick the documents I'm going to showcase from the shows I stage managed, use my ugly horrible South Pacific pictures because for some reason no one has good ones, and print out one or two other supplemental things for R&J and Pericles. It's good to know that it will be FINALLY once and for all finished in time for me to pack it up for SETC this weekend.

It feels like I have been doing my damn portfolio - or a disposable version of it - for 5 months! Good lord. I am so ready to put that thing to bed and start using it to get some freaking work. I'm nervous and excited about SETC, and I'm trying very hard to be patient and not freak out about wanting to hear back for interviews for places I've applied to. (Although I do have a phone interview with The Studio Theatre on Wednesday! ACK! Nervewracking!)

As for my website & electronic portfolio, I was hoping it'd be in more complete shape by this point, but eh. What can you do. It's not like I've been slacking off lately, that's for sure.

Between working a 10 hour day, making sure I keep running/gymming a priority, keeping up with my massive TRR email workload, eating, sleeping, and showering, I'm pretty much a busy bee.

Although - I did have a fun and shockingly social weekend, including reuniting with the amazing Aaron Page and Gemma Smith!

In fact, it's partly due to miss Gemma that I'm blogging right now instead of collapsing into bed with a magazine! We discovered that we're BOTH doing a 10K on the same freaking day! Only she's doing the Monument Ave run in Richmond and I'm doing the Charleston Bridge Run in...Charleston. But it's great, because we're both super nervous - and we both can blog about it! Heh.

So. I ran today!

I did a 5K, but it was not anything like the race. I made sure not to get too winded - which, thanks to my awesome and much-needed new sports bra, didn't really happen. The only major challenge I faced this afternoon/evening on my run was that my calves felt like freaking rocks. I think it might be due to my *amazing* new running shoes that I got on Saturday. I guess they're just adjusting. But I can already tell that the shoes are making an unbelievable difference. They feel more lightweight, they feel better for my shins...yeah, I'm adjusting and breaking them in a bit, but they're actually right for my feet and for the way that I run. So that's very helpful.

Anyway. Tomorrow is BodyPump and Pilates (YES! I have freaking missed Pilates *so* much - I haven't been able to go since January because it conflicted with dinner theatre) and then I'll run again on Wednesday - I'll probably do 5K again.


Let's go do it, Gemma! :)




(P.S. I have pictures to share, but I'm tired. So they'll be posted later!)


Oh, and P.P.S....I have done SO MUCH READING these last couple of weeks, and it's getting to the point where I'm losing track. So here's what I've read:

Books:

-Will in the World
-Choke
-The Complete Book of Running for Women

Plays
-Skylight
-Flesh and Blood
-Burn This
-Long Day's Journey Into Night

...I think that's it so far. Hooray!
