Stuff

Yesterday Stu and I worked a wedding -- he recorded, I played harp.  We had to carry my poor darling harp down the stairs (always harrowing) and then walk it from our van to the back lawn of the house we were working at -- a little bit of a hike but at least it was all flat.

Stu ended up losing 2 lbs and I lost 1.  I am now down to 150!

I was thinking my goal would be 135 and then build up muscle to 140, but looking at myself I think it would be better to get to 140 and then build back up to 145.

So, 10 more pounds to lose!  Woohoo!  I've lost 7 since January so I'm averaging 2 lbs. a month.  Which means by September I'll have reached 140, if all goes according to plan.

I've been walking/running a mile almost every day, eating more raw foods, watching my carbs/calories and sleeping well, but I need to be more active in general -- time to learn tennis, or play some baseball or take a photo walk or maybe even find a swimming pool.

I need to work on my screenplay but I've misplaced my thumbdrive so now I'm behind, although I've planned out what pages to write next so I don't think it will be hard to catch up.

I'm still reading like crazy -- lots of graphic novels, plus continuations of series I began reading earlier this year, and even some books on writing and therapy.  I am supremely happy to have a pile of books from the library in our living room.

Acting is going to be taking up more of my time -- we added a practice time and lengthened all of them.  I am hoping that once I get into costume it will be easier to get into character because right now I feel like I'm just scratching the surface -- I'm exploring the dynamics of my character's family (she's the second child, always following after her sister) and practicing the voice but I'd like to be a little further along by the end of the week.  It's a little surreal to realize we'll be performing this play at the end of the month.  !!!

I guess that's all for now.  Time for an awesome Easter Service (although last night with the Easter Vigil and the After Lent Party is my favorite thing on the church calendar)!

HAPPY EASTER!
