This weekend my parents were in town (hooray!) and we had a busy weekend filled with the State Fair-better people watching than Wal-mart-Jeff Foxworthy was SO right, eating awesome food at the Greek Festival (you missed out if you didn't go), and Mr. Wonderful and I drove up to Snowbird for some brats at Oktoberfest-it's still going on for three more weekends! Even if you don't drink beer it's worth the drive and lots for fun to just walk around. But don't forget a jacket like I did otherwise you'll be cold and miserable or pumping out $60 for a Snowbird sweatshirt like me. It was a busy weekend, but the best I've had in a LONG time.
I swear all the best things happen in Autumn-the State Fair, the Greek Festival, Oktoberfest, Halloween, Thanksgiving, the leaves change and it becomes cute clothes and boot weather, and most importantly--my birthday.
Yes folks in just two short days I will be 31. Don't ask me what I have planned, because it's not that big of a deal-besides I have no idea. Trying not to freak out about the milestones I thought I would have hit is probably top of my list, although I know it's ridiculous. The most I can say in my defense is I have ALWAYS been this way-ALWAYS been well aware and worried about how quickly time goes by. It's always worse around my birthday as that's when I usually stop long enough to take stock of my life.
Although it's hasn't always been easy and it isn't the path I would have chosen, I'm grateful for it nonetheless. It's made me who I am, and I wouldn't change THAT for anything in the world.

I got a free ticket for the Greek Festival on Saturday... and then I spent $30 on food. Wasn't exactly the economy activity I'd hoped for, but MAN do I love souvlaki!
Stephen I SO know your pain there. I spent about that much on my food too.
Not at all cost effective, but worth EVERY penny.
Especially the dolmathes, lemon rice, and baklava. YUM!
I only spent $15. Fatties:-)
Kristen, I must be a bad friend cause I have your birthday down in my planner as the 15th and two days from now would be the 14th, right?
*sigh*
I even decided not to do a show until January-ish or later (if I get checked out at the doc and my vocal pains are a-okay), so that I can enjoy this wonderful time of the year!
Thanks Riss.
*sigh* no you're not a bad friend. It's the 15. When I was writing this I was going to schedule it to post tomorrow but then didn't change it when I posted instead of scheduled.
That's why I'm glad I didn't get 'Music Man'. I would have had tech week this week-sucky.
Hooooraaaaay for having this fabulous week free!
And I'd totally do a show if a director called me, but as a woman in Utah theater, we both know that's not gonna happen:-)
