<\/p>\nsuch a very busy day, today. i finally sat down and took some photos. i wish you could have been there; the weather was perfect. <\/p>\n
this was my view from where i was sitting. over on that chair, that\u2019s where i was, mostly, with my journal, my beverage, my phone:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
i like being outside so much, because there\u2019s all that nature everywhere. here are some vibrant irises (are they irises? i think that\u2019s what they are. when i was little, i assumed that i\u2019d just know the names of flowers and trees and plants of all kinds, like dad does):<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
i saw this family of geese, which is what initially made me sprint up the hill to fetch my camera. by the time i got back, they were kind of far away, but i think you can make them out. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
nature. everywhere.<\/p>\n
rehearsal tonight – oh boy. kate arrives tomorrow night, and hopefully that will mark the beginning of MANY THINGS HAPPENING. <\/p>\n
i\u2019ve been memorizing my lines as i drive around. it\u2019s fun to do the french accent as i drive. my favorite line is “i want to stay true to you.” but with the accent, the “true to you” part always makes me laugh, i can\u2019t explain why, you\u2019ll have to come see it.<\/p>\n
have you gotten your “wicked” tickets yet? and another one for me? when i haven\u2019t been working on my lines (i only have a handful), i\u2019ve been listening to the wicked soundtrack. especially the song “defy gravity,” which is my favorite. Randy got me a t-shirt that says “popular on it;” it\u2019s a very funny song that glinda sings. but really, i\u2019d love to have a “defy gravity” t-shirt. i read a bunch of articles about the show that Gil brought to me. one of them talked about how teenage girls and young women really love the show, because it\u2019s empowering, and the Wicked Witch is such a great role model.<\/p>\n
that\u2019s exactly how i feel. defy gravity. I\u2019d like to do that, someday. is it just a coincidence that the most frequent dream i have is of flying? <\/p>\n
clearly, clearly, i WILL become the wicked witch of the west.<\/p>\n
someday.<\/p>\n
next lifetime? <\/p>\n
no, i\u2019m not going to focus on thinking about other lifetimes, i\u2019m going to think about this one right now. since i\u2019m already right in the middle of it.<\/p>\n
i didn\u2019t make any progress today on thinking about a career i could retire from. <\/p>\n
i did go swimming, though. so that\u2019s something.<\/p>\n
and that\u2019s the reason i\u2019m so very tired right now, and am DEFINITELY going to go to bed early.<\/p>\n
here\u2019s one more photo, i\u2019d like to be out on a sailboat:<\/p>\n
