Wow this Summer is flying. It seems that every week or weekend I have something going on that takes me away from being able to relax and enjoy the Summer. Gah!
After this upcoming weekend, I’ll be finished with the Summer theatre program I’ve been teaching/music directing. But there is no rest for the weary just yet! The following weekend yields a wedding I’m a bridesmaid in for my friend. But that is going to be awesome because it’s on Cape Cod and we’re going to take it as a long weekend and treat it like a little getaway. Yay!
I’ve never been a bridesmaid before (only the bride. haha how often does one say that??). So I’m thinking it’s going to be a really fun time. I designed their wedding invitations and will post pictures once I have the motivation and actually remember to!
Wedding invitations are something I’ve been aiming to offer to customers. I just still need to perfect the process of printing them. I can’t seem to get my printer to print the right colors on paper that isn’t pre-stored as an ICC profile in its settings. I know there’s a way, it’s just complicated and I can’t seem to get it quite right. And I’m a computer nerd! Sheesh.
Oh! And how could I forget one of the other huge milestones in August? : ) Ma birfffday! August 25, baby. I’m going to be… :: gasp :: 26. WHAT? Where is my life going? Lordy me. I’m not so sure how I feel about it.
I’ve already been plucking gray hairs out of my head with tweezers, and there seem to be more and more of them. I don’t think I’m going to be able to keep up with tweezers much longer. It’s truly frightening. I know 26 is nothing. But I’m a frantic, constantly over-committing, over-achieving, over-dreaming art and music loving freak so when a year of my life goes by and I look back on it and don’t see myself in a drastically ‘improved’ place compared to last year, I get scared. But I am in a drastically different place now.
I don’t live where I lived last year. I’m not doing as many freelance corporate projects. I’m teaching theatre. I’ve opened an Etsy shop. I’ve written a musical. I’m married (what?!). And perhaps most importantly, I now have bangs.
So…
It’s been a big year.
Just a few more weeks before I’m past my quarter-century mark. Perhaps my ‘quarterlife crisis’ will begin to wane a bit more now?
