Welcome to my world

So we spent the New Years Holiday in Wolcott, Indiana with my really good friend Amanda!   Our friends Chris and Carrie and their son Miles drove up from Evansville.  Ed and Laura from Lafayette also drove out to hang with us for the New Years.  We had the opportunity to meet new people (from Amanda’s Church), and to gossip with her about her new boy  toy…When am I going to meet him…hrm?!?!  And drink alot of really good scotch.  It was a great night.  I had the opportunity to hold Chris and Carrie’s son Miles until he fell asleep and then cuddle with him in a chair for about an hour.  Heaven!  All in all it was a wonderful way to ring in a New Year!

This weekend was the first in a long time that Pete and I had no where to go!  Yea!  We went to the mall and Bahama Breeze on Friday.  Then we were hanging around on Saturday, when I decided I wanted to check if the new Tomb Raider game was available for the 360.  So Pete and I drove the mile and half to the Village, and headed to Gamestop.  Well that one did not have a copy of the game, so we began debating driving another 1/2 mile to the Adam’s road Gamestop or just going home.  We walked back out to the car, got in (still debating mind you), and Pete turned the Key.  Nothing.  Not a crank over, not a light coming on, nothing.  The battery was dead, and it was cold, and neither of us was really dressed to walk a mile and a half…but we did any way.  Back to the house.  In the cold.  My ears were frozen!  We picked up Pete’s car and drove back up to the village and jumped my battery.  Then we drove to Sears – which by the time we got there was too full, and back home…no new battery in site.  We got up and left the house around 11:30 on Sunday and drove back to Sears, where we were able to FINALLY get the battery changed – YEA!  Then we grabbed lunch at Kabob Grill in the Village and went to the Adam’s Road Gamestop and were able to find the New Tomb Raider – a used copy at that!  And I spent the rest of the evening playing to my hearts content!

And now back to my job – and the neurotic people I work with!  It’s a real examination of the human psyche in this joint!  It’s really fun to play with people’s minds as well (insert evil laugh here).  Afterwork, my coworker Caitlyn and I headed off to Royal Oak for an Acting Class at the Actor’s Workshop.  Yup…You heard me right an acting class.  I used to be a part of theater in High School, before I lost my confidence in myself…so here I am getting my feet wet and trying it all over again.  Our class has 11 people in it…5 women, 6 men.  So last night was interesting.  We started with a relaxation excercise, and then onto a warm up exercise.  Then we proceeded to do a memory imprinting.  We were paired up, and one person told a very vivid memory to another person, and the second person was to tell the memory with imagry as if it were their own.  This week I was the one taking possesion of someone else’s memory, and next week I’ll be telling my memory.  Then we did a repitition excercise, and then onto Inprove.  I am not very good at this whole improve thing…so that’s my goal to get better at that.  All in all it was a great experience!

So the long and short of it…I had a wonderful New Years…an eventful and relaxing weekend, a normal day at work and a fantastic first class.    Happy 2009 – Hope you try something new this year!
