When 31-derful Gets Even Better

Thanks Ferris, I think I will!

So, last week, when I was moping around a bit about having to temp on my birthday, I started to think about it on my lunch break. Why COULDN'T I request my birthday off from work? It's not like I actually work here. I'm just a temp. They don't know my schedule, so I compiled this elaborate story about an audition or a movie shoot or some actor-y thing that I booked that I needed to be available for for the whole day on Wednesday, blah, blah, blah... And then, I walked into the office and thought, "Fuck it. I'll just say it's my birthday." So I did, and my supervisor worked with my temp company and lo-and-behold I HAVE MY BIRTHDAY OFF FROM WORK, BITCHEZZZZZZZZ...

I am very, very, very, very, very excited about this!

I am going to start tonight by meeting up with Maridee and Jess at a bar in Park Slope after I teach my class and have a few quick, quiet celebratory drinks with them (M can't come on Saturday because her show heads up to Maine on Friday, and Jess hates karaoke, so I try not to drag her into that cesspool if I can help it). Then tomorrow morning, I am going to do the 830am Hatha class at Brooklyn Yoga Collective, head home to do my 21DFX workout, then meet Molly at Russ and Daughters Cafe for brunch/early lunch (YES PLEASE TO ALL OF THIS FOOOOOOOD), then maybe head to Coney Island to wander the boardwalk and people watch, or head down past Sheepshead Bay to see if I can buy a bike. I'm gonna play it by ear!

When I got home from Sunday's beach day, THIS was sitting (in an Amazon box) on my coffee table! Thanks D&P!

Point is: DAY OFF! So excited!

The rest of the week is pretty much crazy-busy, too. Thursday evening a couple of my friends are coming over to help me with the acting portion of a video audition I need to submit by Monday (still crossing my fingers that I can nail down a good pianist for the singing portion which I want to record on Friday evening or Saturday during the day!!!!!); Saturday I teach in the morning and have my birthday karaoke jam session that evening; Sunday I volunteer for the 7th Ave Street Festival  or "7th Heaven Festival" for my gym in the morning, and then head to Carlow to pre-funk the Sounders/Red Bulls game that evening... Yeeeeeesh!

Then, one more full week of temping before I get to do my kids yoga TT and take my second Seattle vacation in as many months! Here we go!
