It has been quite a while since I've posted.<br />
<br />
Let's see:<br />
<br />
1. got married<br />
2. got to have my dad there (he was touch and go for a while but he's great now!)<br />
3. been auditioning<br />
4. been working out like crazy<br />
5. started a new business.<br />
<br />
Say what?<br />
<br />
Yes. I am now an Independent Beach Body coach. A decision I did NOT come to lightly.<br />
<br />
I was working at small, boutique gym in the back office. It was a great part-time job dealing with reports and retention and all that. But my boss was a bit of an OCD psycho and I just couldn't deal with him anymore. He, essentially, forced me to quit. Long story, but it's true!<br />
<br />
So, to say the least I was frustrated. I talked to a friend of mine and she had just signed on to be a coach. I've been approached by people before. Never did I want to take the plunge because, well, I just wasn't committed. Now, with no job and sick of staring at the Craigs List wall, I decided today was the day to just jump in and try it. If it works, GREAT. If not. Oh well, at least I tried. <br />
<br />
My friend told me that until the end of the year, to sign up as a coach is, essentially, free. Well, this clinched it for me.<br />
<br />
I'm definitely interested in trying something for free, right? :)<br />
<br />
Also, Beach Body is the company that has P90X! And those of you who know me, know I did all 3 months of that crazy workout. THEN I did Insanity. And now I'm doing ChaLEAN Extreme!<br />
<br />
Oh yes, people. OH. YES.<br />
<br />
So I figured I'm working for a company I 100% believe in! Why not get discounts and freebies and share my experience with other people looking for the same life change I got! So yeah. Yay me!<br />
<br />
How are you? Did the Thanksgiving world kick your butt? It sort of did for me, but I did workout yesterday and today (and plan to tomorrow too!).<br />
<br />

<br />
So today was a crazy day! Mom and I met to accomplish a couple of things wedding-wise:<br />
<br />
1. check out bridesmaids gifts<br />
2. check out gifts for hostesses giving the shower<br />
3. check out flower girl gifts<br />
4. go to the jeweler to design my wedding band<br />
<br />
Before that, I got a call from my agent (YES!) to come in for a voice over audition. Mom and I walked from her place to Starbuck's where she waited while I went in for my audition. After it was over, we headed to find some gifts!<br />
<br />
We were VERY successful! Here's how it played out:<br />
<br />
1. found shower gifts<br />
2. found bridesmaids gifts (just have 3 more to pick up from another store)<br />
3. found groomsmen gifts<br />
4. found flower girls gifts<br />
5. found me a rehearsal dinner dress<br />
6. found me a shower dress<br />
7. planned a 2nd day with jeweler so Jon could get fitted too<br />
<br />
All in all a very successful wedding-planning day!<br />
<br />
Our friend Gene is leaving Chicago tomorrow. We're sad! Unfortunately he just could NOT find a job while here. It's been so tough watching so many people struggle with money and being jobless. He's headed back to Maine to save some money so he can come back to Chicago for our wedding! I have high hopes for him. He's a great guy!<br />
<br />
We had a fun dinner with him and toasted him a good farewell. We are driving him to his train tomorrow evening. Sigh.<br />

<br />
So today was a work day at Jon Wolter's office. I've been trying to temp in between all the craziness I have going on otherwise. I actually LIKE going into work at Jon Wolter's office. We often barely deal with each other, but everyone is really nice and truly respectful. It's a good environment to hang out in. Plus, I think they like me. I'm certainly their first "go to" person. That always feels good!<br />
<br />
While at work, I got a call from my agent to come in for a voice over audition. I cleared it with work and off I went for an audition!<br />
<br />
I LOVE THIS BUSINESS. Seriously, it's fantastic getting called in for stuff. I love the agency. I'm eager to book something so they decide to keep me on! I love that I can just jump at a moment's notice into the office, spend 5 minutes there going over the copy, go in and record, and be out of there! It's great!<br />
<br />
On the way back, the CTA buses were running sloooowwww! I finally got back and finished the day up. It was a good day all-around.<br />
<br />
No workout today, but I'm thinking I might be getting slightly bored with my routine...may need to switch it up soon!<br />

<br />
So today my mom and I headed up to Highland Park. I had to meet with Carrie (my sister-in-law) about our business and we also had a few wedding goals to accomplish:<br />
<br />
1. solidify the invitations<br />
2. find mom a dress<br />
<br />
Invites went GREAT! Jon and I worked on the response card-wording and are happy with our creative results. The other stuff looked excellent so we are good to go! <br />
<br />
Mom's dress. Well, as luck would have it, we went back to the same place mom purchased her dress for my last wedding-that-shall-not-be-named. (It never happened. 2 months before it was cancelled!) Mom LOVED that last dress. It fit her perfectly. It was MADE to fit her. She looked stunning and felt stunning. She didn't keep the dress (it was in purple) because she didn't want to wear it to anything else. She was really sad to see it go. Mom also hates to shop so this experience would prove not fantastic to begin with unless we hit it out of the park on our first at bat.<br />
<br />
Funny enough, when we were looking for MY dress we went to 5 different places. I really liked one dress (but I didn't LOVE it) but it was really out of my price range. I could have talked my father into it, but I really didn't love it. Then we finally bit the bullet and went to the place where I got my last dress. I was leery about going back to the same place. Felt like a bad idea or whatever, but, lo and behold I found THE dress. I LOVE my dress! I LOVE MY DRESS. And I was thrilled we'd decided to look fear in the face and go back there.<br />
<br />
Mom took no chances and decided to hit the same place. And after trying on about 11 dresses with NOTHING that came even close to a possibility, we decided we'd go somewhere else. Mom got dressed and had a conversation with the sales person about the last dress she had and how much she loved how it fit. The lady went in the back and pulled out a dress that looked amazing. Mom tried it on and it was perfect...just a size too small and in the wrong color! They looked at the swatches of fabric and realized it could be made in the color we needed and made to her measurements! PERFECT! <br />
<br />
Also? It turns out, THIS dress is made by the same designer as the LAST dress Mom fell in love with! So it all works out in the end!<br />
<br />
So excited to see it on her when it's in the correct color and cut to fit her! :)<br />
<br />
Tonight, THE BIGGEST LOSER Season 9 returned (it's been on hiatus for The Olympics) and I'm so excited! It's such a motivator to work out when watching that show!<br />

<br />
So today Sari and I had rehearsal for the concert. I got there on time and was waiting for her and her brother-in-law to show up. She finally texted me to say she'd been in a car accident! <br />
<br />
She was rear-ended by a girl whose water bottle rolled under her break pedal and so she couldn't stop!<br />
<br />
How scary! Thankfully everyone was ok. Sari banged her head but her car was ok. The other girl's car was pretty banged up.<br />
<br />
It was freaky waiting for her to get there. I just wanted to hug her and know she was alright!<br />
<br />
Once the police came and everything got sorted out, we actually <i>did</i> get to rehearse. It was fun! We staged the show (choreography and all) and really had a lot of fun with it. It's going to be an awesome show. :)<br />
<br />
Later on, I had to meet my Mom and my recently married cousin, Jamie, at the Paper Source to look at paper for booklets for the wedding.<br />
<br />
Umm...I have a small love affair with The Paper Source. I adore that place. All these fun crafty projects with lots of creative ideas! I just wanna spend tons of time in there touching all the pretty cards and ribbon and textures. <br />
<br />
So we got what we needed and then headed out to get a coffee at Starbucks. Mom treated and we had a great talk. Sometimes I just love those moments where you spontaneously get to spend time with people you wouldn't normally get to spend time with. It was such a nice 30 minutes. :)<br />

<br />
So today I had to go down to the Harold Washington Library and meet up with Sari for rehearsal. We are rehearsing for a fantastically fun one-night only event to help fundraise money for a synagogue in Evanston, IL. <br />
<br />
Sari is amazing! We met at Roosevelt University and totally "get" each other. She was my saviour when I lived in NYC for a month and went to auditions with me and we did Bikram yoga together. She rocks!<br />
<br />
Her brother-in-law is a Cantor at this synagogue in Evanston and they are performing an evening of celebration of a famous Cantor named Moyshe Oysher. No joke. There is a song he performed with the famous Barry Sisters and they needed another voice for the song. Sari called me! I'm so excited to do this fun little project for a good cause. Or, as we say in the Jewish faith....a Mitzvah. (good deed)<br />
<br />
So Sari and I met to run through the harmonies and just get an all-around sense of stuff. It was a great rehearsal.<br />
<br />
I always feel refreshed and happy once I've spent time with Sari. She truly is a positive force in my life. When people tell you to surround yourself with positive people, Sari is a perfect example of one of them.<br />
<br />
Grateful for my wonderful friends and supporters. :)<br />

<br />
So today started off not well. I had an appointment to see my gynecologist for my annual exam...so I thought!<br />
<br />
I busied myself trying to get in a workout before I was supposed to be there when it dawned on me I'd never gotten a confirmation call.<br />
<br />
The appointment was all through communication on the "patient link" online site the doctor's office has set up. You request an appointment and someone responds and lets you know what is available. <br />
<br />
When I called to confirm my appointment this morning the office was, you guessed it, CLOSED. I went to the patient link and re-checked the appointment date and time and, sure enough, it said I had an appointment TODAY at 12:30pm.<br />
<br />
I called back and left a very frustrated message.<br />
<br />
I then wrote a response on the patient link saying the same things. I felt like my time was totally wasted and I scheduled my entire weekend around this appointment.<br />
<br />
Suffice it to say I was irritated.<br />
<br />
I did get a call back and the office apologized saying it was their mix-up. The person who responded on the patient link looked in my file and noticed I had an appointment on February 27th at 12:30pm. <br />
<br />
In 2009.<br />
Oy vey.<br />
<br />
So the rescheduling began. Fingers crossed this goes well...<br />
<br />
Tonight we headed over to my friend, Ellyn's apartment. We ordered really yummy (and fresh!) thai food and watched Pixar's UP. <br />
<br />
I adore this film. ADORE IT! Some of the best writing for a dog I've ever heard. Hilarious. Adorable. Sad. Just all around awesome.<br />
<br />
I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it!<br />

<br />
So today was the last day of rehearsal for Senior Spotlight. I'm really looking forward to getting to work with the senior citizens in the residencies. Apparently we do sing-a-longs and work on their imaginations with theatre games and such. It sounds like a rewarding experience for us and for them.<br />
<br />
The show is really cute and I will miss rehearsing it with everyone. As an understudy I am not called in for the shows (although I definitely plan to go see one). I just have to keep up on the script and the music in case someone gets sick and I'm needed.<br />
<br />
I also had an audition today...<br />
<br />
I don't usually broadcast my auditions like some people. I'm sure it's superstition or because I don't want to go through the process of explaining it if I don't get the job. It's like going on constant job interviews. People don't know what to say to you when you say you didn't get the job. They feel badly for you but it gets awkward. It's much easier to mention it later.<br />
<br />
THEM: "Where were you yesterday when I called"? <br />
<br />
YOU: "Oh, I was at an audition".<br />
<br />
THEM: "Wow! What for?"<br />
<br />
YOU: "For an agent".<br />
<br />
THEM: "How did it go?"<br />
<br />
YOU: "Pretty good/ok/great/awful (etc)"<br />
<br />
THEM: "Oh, well great/you'll get 'em next time/good for you/chin up".<br />
<br />
YOU: "Thanks"<br />
<br />
This scenario is SO much better for me after the fact than before the fact. I really have no interest in discussing my auditions. I psych myself out of them if I talk about them too much. Afterwards, I'm all about discussing it, even if it didn't go well. I even have a sense of humor about it sometimes. :)<br />
<br />
That being said...<br />
<br />
I had an audition on Friday. For an agency. A good one in the city. For my voiceover.<br />
<br />
I was really excited (and a bit nervous). I only told one person I was going in. C* at <a href="http://www.voiceoverinfo.com/">Sound Advice</a> (the place I recorded my demo. THEY ROCK). I wanted some input on how to audition for voice over for an agent (as opposed to on-camera or theatre). Thank goodness for C*. She rocked it! She gave me great advice and told me to just go in and have a blast. Which I did. She also cautioned me not to be discouraged if I wasn't asked to work with them this time around. Often agents will call you in and then tell you to come back in 6 months. I was prepared for that.<br />
<br />
The great thing was I really did go in and have a great time. :)<br />
<br />
And afterwards, the agent said she'd like to try this out.<br />
<br />
Color me SOOOO EXCITED!<br />
<br />
Yup. So, without jinxing anything...looks like I have an agent!<br />
<br />
I plan to continue promoting my demo to the creatives (which gets my name out, of course!)<br />
<br />
All is happy.<br />
<br />
Oh! I almost forgot about the weigh-in!<br />
<br />
Things are going in the right direction. I'm down another .4 lbs!<br />
<br />
Weight loss to date: 9.6 lbs! WOO HOO!<br />
<br />
Go me. Good day, sunshine!<br />

*This not working out thing is getting to be a really bad habit. Gotta fix that!Alibearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17038171121356488616noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-671263763523880196.post-18746028040016418542010-02-26T15:58:00.000-08:002010-02-26T15:58:26.181-08:00Day 93 - Matters of the Heart and TaxesThursday, February 25, 2010<br />
<br />
So today was busy but also slightly disorienting. I've been in rehearsals to understudy for a show called Senior Spotlight for Imagination Theatre.<br />
<br />
This work is very rewarding because we take the show to senior resident homes and work with them on imagination, sing-a-longs, etc. It really seems to help the majority of them forget about their "troubles" for a short while.<br />
<br />
One of the other things we do is called a residency. We visit one home 12 times and work one-on-one with a group of seniors. We do exercises for their memories and their minds. We do sing-a-longs and encourage them to get a bit active and enjoy things. <br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to the work. I'm just a little nervous.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, we have a very short rehearsal schedule but they are beginning shows on Tuesday! Yikes! So quick. With tight harmonies and choreography (oh goodness there go my two left feet again) I just really hope neither of the people I'm understudying gets sick...or a really good paying job...right?<br />
<br />
I came home fully expecting to get A LOT of stuff done (including working out), and was very accomplished with my to-do list...however somehow the workout just didn't happen. <br />
<br />
I don't like that.<br />
<br />
It's imperative that I make time for that. But I just didn't put my focus in the right places.<br />
<br />
I guess the fact that I really wanted to do my taxes and get them DONE was weighing much more heavily on my head.<br />
<br />
Lately, I've gotten phone calls/emails/texts from 3 friends who are dealing with matters of the heart. I want so much to make things easier on them and their sadness/frustrations. There must be something in the air.<br />
<br />
My life-long friend, (and one of my maids of honor-to-be), called last night so upset. I sat on my bed with my receipts spread out before me and just talked it out with her. She doesn't live here so it's incredibly hard to give a full emotional hug to someone over the phone but we try. She needed it. And deserves it. I wish I could take her pain away. I know it will figure itself out. I just hate it when people I love so dearly are in pain.<br />
<br />
Other than that, I gotta find some me/down time. It's been on-the-go for too long. I'm getting cranky.<br />
<br />
What are some things you do to unwind??<br />

<br />
So today was filled with busy-ness. Heh. business. Busy-ness.<br />
<br />
Yeah. I'm exhausted. I've been busting out wedding stuff, film stuff, rehearsal stuff, life stuff...I'm really wiped out!<br />
<br />
But I can't sleep.<br />
<br />
Well, I <i>can</i> but I'm sort of afraid to <i>go</i> to sleep.<br />
<br />
I'm afraid of my dreams.<br />
<br />
There. I said it. I'm afraid of my dreams.<br />
<br />
I'm really sick of having dreams about my ex and Jon's ex. I know that a LOT of it is wedding-related. I also know that it's my body's way of working stuff out. I know, even more, that it's much easier for my brain and self to deal with THEM than deal with the other wedding frustration (read: my awful uncle) which I am subjected to dealing with and really don't want to. That situation is it's own "living nightmare". <br />
<br />
I'd prefer to run into either one of our exes. Twice. Than deal with my uncle coming to my wedding. But that is a whole other blog story. One I'll examine as the wedding day approaches and my anxiety explodes.<br />
<br />
Yay! Things to look forward to! :)<br />
<br />
My friend, Debbie, is having her baby in March and I cannot believe March is around the freaking corner! Soooo close!<br />
<br />
Ok. It's time for me to wrap up and suck it up and go to bed. I'll be no good for anyone if I don't have sleep.<br />
<br />
I have a full list of things to do tomorrow! <br />
TAXES are on that list... let's see if I can hop to it!<br />

<br />
So today my mom and I spent most of the day working on wedding stuff. I think we finally got our invitations! We have one more meeting with the vendor and then we are set to go. This thing is really happening!<br />
<br />
My heart hit my feet when they told us the invites need to go out on April 19th. Ummm, THAT'S LIKE AROUND THE CORNER! I feel like we've done NOTHING and have SOOOO much left to do before this wedding! <br />
<br />
Breathe!!!<br />
<br />
Anyhow, Carrie and I did some work on our home-business and then my mom and I started home from the suburbs. In traffic. <br />
<br />
It wasn't so bad but I was really happy I had worked out this morning! It made it possible for me to not be so anxious while we were out. I don't spend the whole day just hoping I'll have enough energy to workout when I get home after whatever is going on. I love getting it done first thing!<br />
<br />
Another reason for invitation anxiety is that at my previous non-wedding, my ex pulled his bullshit right as the invitations were hitting the calligrapher. We had to literally THROW OUT all our invitations. Today was a reality moment that this thing is really happening. And it's a WONDERFUL thing. :)<br />
<br />
I'm sure all this ramping up to the wedding is helping my incredibly bad dreams I've been having about my ex and Jon's ex. There's so much history and drama with them. Jon's ex was supposed to be <i>in </i>my last wedding. It makes for some bad feelings and ugly situations. I hate that it manifests itself in my dreams. My sleep is bad enough as it is, (we need a new mattress and we need new non-meth-addicted neighbors), so these dreams are just making it worse.<br />
<br />
I feel like this will subside once we get past the 2 month mark. Or at least when we are finally married. Right? I hope so!<br />
<br />
Here's how today played out. <br />

How do you deal with stressful dreams?<br />
