Just a quick post about what I’ve been doing lately. It feels like a whirlwind has taken over my life!
- say goodbye to my evenings: I signed up to be a Stage Manager for a new play in Hollywood.
- Speaking of November: we’re going to New Orleans for Thanksgiving to visit James’s family! SO excited!
- making messes:
I cannot even tell you how much this bothers James. He rolls up cords and cables for a living, people! - quit my job!:
My last day will be next Friday. I’ve never been happier, but I will miss the kids who volunteer at adoptions - Being completely spontaneous is good for me: got accepted into the Costume Designer’s program at my local college. But I’m so excited! I’m taking Costume Illustration and Draping. I’m on my way to becoming a designer, just like I’ve always wanted
- babies, everywhere!:
Heathyr just had her baby. Baby James is so beautiful! And probably one of the most easy going babies I’ve ever seen
He slept in Glenda’s lap, I fed and burped him. James best friend and his wife had their baby, Addison. And two more friends of mine are pregnant. I’m so excited! - circles: I’ve been painting! James and I made these for our bedroom
, then I went and made this! 
- I was supposed to be cleaning: It started out innocently enough. I was just going to straighten up my room. Ended up combing through everything like this I can now say that I think my room is as close to how I want it as I will ever get!

- excitement building: because I got my room so clean, I was inspired to start working on a new project. I will talk more about that later
- and finally: I hate the post office!!
~The end

I hate the post office too. I used to really like the one by my parents’ house…but the one out here sucks. It’s always really busy and slow no matter what time of day…
Anyway, I feel as though it’s been forever. Good to see that you are doing what you want with your life and are happy because of it.
Rock on sister!

Wow! Your life is turning into an exciting ride Leslie. I’m so happy for you. You sound so different from the person last year who was so unhappy in her job but was too nervous to leave. This has been a fantastic year for you. Congratulations.
