In four days I will be giving Mr. Gym his last piano lesson before I leave. And oh, there was cologne this past week. He almost apologized for wearing it. He didn’t invite me to a jazz club or wine tasting, but requests for Light Blue have surged. At least so says the lady behind the counter at JC Penny. Coincidence? I think not.
In five days I will be on a plane to New York City. On a flight that I inadvertently booked from the wrong airport.
In six days the 60 day waiting period for the divorce paperwork that was filed 3 months later than it should have been will be up, and Mike and I will sign final paperwork that essentially says “Oops.”
In seven days I will be performing a monologue that will be used as some kind of placement tool for the workshops I will attend. I still haven’t picked one out.
In eight days the acting classes begin. I hope to learn things that will lead to amazing opportunities and maybe even work that pays enough to support my nomadic and stuff restricted lifestyle.
This is the plan anyway.
Oh, and in one day (maybe two or three) I will get the latest Opti episode up, if my lame computer doesn’t shut down in the middle of editing.

Oops – though I don’t know what’s behind the oops, I’m still sorry it’s coming upon that time to sign. Milestones such as these always have a way of reminding us of…..well…..things. So, I will be thinking about you this week coming up.
On a different note, I am SO excited about your new opportunities. I truly hope that you have an AMAZING time in New York. Good luck, and I will be praying for doors to open for you. :)
Can’t wait for Opti – on the edge of my seat.

Wow, Nat.
What a week. Are you going to ask Mr. Gym to coffee…or at least his cologne to coffee?
Have a good week. Look at it as an adventure and look for God to work on your behalf.
We’ll miss you.

dare I state the obvious? You’ve got a lot going on… and I hope the hard stuff will be somehow lighter and the good stuff somehow greater. Can’t wait to hear stories of acting in NY. It’s so great that you are going after what is in your heart. God gave you those passions for a reason!

i think we’re the same in our pursuit of busyness (sometimes) to keep from needing to process.
i hope i can still see you (and hug you) when we’re both in new york.
i need to smell some light blue really soon, and possibly invest in some. hers and his.
and while it seems like an “oops”, it wasn’t. it was part of the journey. and it was hell-hard. but it wasn’t an “oops”. you are stronger, better, and more focused as a result of it.
i love you!
