Wait, having five arms would be sort of creepy...
I miss my blog... I have been super busy....and with that, like my dear friend Kim wrote in her blog justacitygirl.blogspot.com, I give you a quick run down of the happenings of Jolene’s World....
-Working lots at the magazine, currently I have six stories due on Wednesday, not one is complete. It’s overwhelming and fun!
-Frank and I barely talk anymore as we are way too consumed with the second season of Lost on DVD...best show ever!
-I ate dinner at Usagi Ya in Wicker Park with my friend Mandy. I had a Spicy Tuna Roll minus the magsomo-egg stuff, and a shitake mushroom roll-minus the spinach cuz I don’t want to die. I drank Green Tea. It was the best sushi I have ever had.
-This morning I had much needed closure on an irking issue. I feel great!
-I am in the midst of designing Frank's Halloween Costume, we are going to be Donny and Marie circa 1977.. Marie's costume is already complete. We are hoping to win mega moula at a local contest...
-I am seriously missing my friend E who I haven’t seen in way too long
-I barely leave my desk at work and I am happy.
-I have auditioned lots, and been rejected lots…I keep auditioning.
-Miss. Honey has been a snuggle bug as usual! I would still like to eat her.
-I saw my cute Grandma celebrate 89 years of life. Wanted to give her Honey as a present.
-Went to the Paper House warehouse sale, pure madness. The things people will do for paper.
-Getting very irritated with the continuous rain. The city is windy and cold.
-Painted, rather than carved a pumpkin... it joins another painted pumpkin..the two pumpkins have been christened, Donny and Marie.
-Been scraping my purse for change to get home on the el.
-Met Mark for our weekly cheap eats and chatting at Redfish . He gave me a Hello Kitty suitcase with bubblegum.
-Went to a real doctor because now I have insurance! Learned I gained 10 pounds in the past 6 months….people say it’s because I am in love (insert finger in throat). In reality it’s because I have an addiction to late-night feedings of M&M’s, alcohol and bread.
-Acted in a reading of some fun women-written plays
-Received a fun, new plush couch...for FREE!
-Watched the Chicago Marathon Runners, first hour looked diligently for my friend Amy running in the crowd, second hour diligently looked for a break in the ground to get my bum over to Ann Sather’s Cafe across the street.
-Been procrastinating with the best of ‘em.
-Still screaming like a wild banshee to get out the door on time in the morning
-Heard a great line I want to include in my next play: “The reason you put me through school to get my master’s in (to protect the source-insert your own fancy subject) is so I could have interesting conversations at dinner parties.“
-Frank just made me giggle with a card that says “You’re Invited (on the front and on the inside)…Popcorn and Lost. Please RSVP” And with that...disc 5 begins!
