| | Well well well, here we are, a 1.1 years later and I write a blog. I had intended on doing it on the 1 year anniversary, but I forgot. Surprise! I'm glancing through iphoto to really see what all went on for a year. Dang... a lot. Most of it: WORK!
I've done award shows,
talk shows,
club shows,
and festival shows.
I've been able to relax a little bit too... Got to spend a few days in Key West and visit the Dry Tortugas - awesome.
Watched Chicago the musical, Wicked, and KA - all were awesome! Can't wait to see some more. We're in Vegas for a few days, so I'm going to try to FINALLY see "O."
Life has changed a little bit. In November, I got let go from Miranda and a week later hired by Carrie. Wild! I was with Miranda for a year and a half... had a lot of good times and learned a ton. Been out with Carrie since January and it's certainly been another jump-start to my career. I'm working with a great designer and a big company... kind of a lighting designer/directors dream. I do my job, do it with excellence, don't have to worry about anything else, stay out of the politics, don't get involved - and wahlah... I'm making good money, being challenged, going places, and taking the next step in my career. I love it...
Funny that most of my bosses have been females so far.... and even some that act like females. Scary!
On the twist of that, I'm also homeless. There ya go, I said it. Officially homeless. Okay, so it's not that dramatic. My bud and his wife are moving into their condo soon and had to put the house up for rent. Well, our schedule with Carrie is crazy busy, so I had no time to find a new place, apartment, or roommate. So in 2 days, I found a storage building, moved all my stuff, got a PO Box, forwarded my address, and here I am. We got home late on the 8th, so I ran home and began packing boxes until 11pm. Went back to Wal-Mart and took more boxes; Then began packing again until 4AM. I hauled most of the boxes myself, but had to call my buddy Leif to come help with the big stuff (ironic, cause he is such a small guy). I was cheap and didn't rent a u-haul or penske, so I made about 15 trips back and forth from the house to the storage building =). It was kind of surreal closing the garage door and realizing all my belongings were in this tiny little space. And I definitely got my workout!
Speaking of working out... I'm 25lbs lighter than I was a year ago.
I'm now around 145-150lbs.
While out with Miranda, a few of us decided to trim down after seeing some results Miranda got for a music video. So Tony-the-Trainer took a few of us (Chris-monitors, Aden-bass, and myself) and whipped us into shape! Basically, I started with portion control with my foods. I realized I was ALWAYS over-eating and that was my biggest problem. I probably lost 10lbs just by controlling my diet. Then we began jogging, walking, and lifting some weights. I'm very happy with the results we got. No magic formula, no extra special diet.... just being responsible for yourself. The only downside is during Christmas I gained a little bit and we've been so busy with Carrie that I haven't really kept a regular workout routine. So, I'm still struggling to get back in the habit and keep the results I worked damn hard for.
I'm also a future home owner!
Yup, I'm all grown up now and waiting to close on a little townhome in Brentwood, TN. Just a little north of where I'm at now. I got a great deal and it's an end unit with their biggest floor plan. Around 1700sq I think. I looked around and prayed about a bunch of places I saw; This one felt right. So I guess I'll find out in Oct/Nov if I made a good decision or not. Yeah, I'm a bit scared since this is my first home purchase... big investment. But on the other side I'm positive I've done a lot of good homework and consultation into my first purchase. I'm excited.
So that'll catch us up for a bit... I promise to start blogging more regularly now. Well... maybe =)
