June happenings

As you all know (if you were paying attention, and I don't blame you if you weren't), I didn't blog much during June. It isn't that nothing happened -- plenty did -- and there were definitely things I wanted to blog about but...

For once, I decided not to feel guilty and just enjoy my life without stressing about trying to document it all. 

Will I regret this later? Possibly. Did things happen last month that I still want to blog about? A few. Will I? We'll see.

For now, here's a recap of some of the stuff that kept me busy and happy:

A bonfire and s'mores with some hilarious people

Yes, this is photoshopped to mash two photos together.
I love their faces!

I saw 12 Angry Jurors at CenterPoint Legacy -- it was great!

I gave it a shout-out on Facebook, which was included
in a promotional e-mail  later that week.

My visiting teacher gave me some sweet "I'm thinking of you" gifts.
She's so nice (and knows me so well)!

 

This terrific kid had a birthday...

and was pretty excited about receiving new sports equipment :D

Went to the Salt Lake Temple on a really windy day

Saw Kristen, Larissa, and several other friends in Doo Wop Wed Widing Hood, which was completely adorable. My three dates and I all loved it.

About one minute after Larissa as the Fairy Godmother appeared
on stage, Zonks said to me, "She's just like you!"
Breezy commented that Kristen's Evil Queen was mean,
and Lindsey responded, "She was my favorite!"
(Note: It's almost impossible to get Breezy to sit still
for a photo. The one bottom left with Riss is what
happens when you tell her to strike a "Princess" pose.)

My brother Peter had a birthday, which included a new experience for the kids:

The G-child was pretty indignant when he realized
we purposely pulled the pinata out reach when he swung
at it, and then delighted to pull it away during Peter's turn.

The G-child created this card especially for Pete. Peter laughed so hard he started crying.
Birds of a feather!

I finished a huge, stressful, long-term, self-esteem-killing project at work (the main reason why I didn't blog during the day), at the end of which I wanted to do this:

And, of course, more Robin Hood rehearsals

Playing with puppets during a speed-through

Hanging out

Tech week last week
(Note that the stuffed goat is wearing a hood)

During this next month, I'll perform my show, catch up with a bunch of friends, celebrate two holidays, hopefully go to the Shakespearean Festival, see a bunch of movies and plays, sit by the pool, and... see what else is in store.

The year is now half over, but there's still so much to look forward to. Isn't life great?

Happy Monday!
