Update for a Beautiful Day

4/16/2012

2 Comments

 
Even though most  of my acting projects ended two weeks ago, I've been keeping pleasantly busy.  I finished up a six week class with a fantastic casting director here in NYC, and am lined up for two more classes with high end casting directors over the next few weeks.  Auditions and classes, of course, keep me pounding the pavement and improving my skill set.  The weather has been absolutely fantastic the past few days, and is about 85 degrees this afternoon.  If I feel well enough, in a bit I'll head out to grab a few groceries. 

 I read a while back on my cousin Jenna's blog her story about cleaning and getting rid of a bunch of items she never used.  While I'm not sure I could come up with 100 or more things to get rid of at the moment, I have been super cleaning my apartment.  I'm talking about hard core, moving furniture, going through everything piece by piece, sweeping then vacuuming, sorting and organizing, and liberally tossing out.  Along with getting rid of a bunch of old and useless papers and copious amounts of cat fur, I found some interesting things, chief among them about 15 headshots with old resumes attached (easily removed and replaced), and no less than 15 hair ties.  Yes, Stry - your private stash has been discovered.  I've started a garbage bag of things to give away - mainly old clothes I never wear and/or are too small.  I started in the bedroom and am now working slowly through the living room.  I did the four cubbies underneath the main table last night, and am about to start on the bookshelf.  It feels so good to purge this place.  I generally do a fine job keeping it clean, but to really go in and gut everything - I highly suggest you try it, dear reader.  Start with just a single room, and take it apart, get rid of all the excess junk we all seem to amass.  It may sound funny, but I feel lighter.  I am so sick of having so much stuff.  And if I ever have to move again - Lord help me. 

I recently joined Pinterest - which is a pretty neat site.  I mainly just browse through the pictures and re-pin. I love the fact that my Dream Home board is many pictures of awesome outdoor garden-type places - my dream home apparently is very earthy :) I also have a Good Lookin' Recipes board and there are many delicious looking foods on it I definitely want to try. At an audition today as I was leaving the building I bought several boxes of Tagalongs, so as to be able to make Tagalong cupcakes. I'm hoping I'll have time on Wednesday to do that little experiment, and will definitely share the results.  I might start putting up some favorite recipes of mine up here, though no promises they will be as wonderfully put together and showcased as on Jenna's blog.  I love to cook - ever since moving to the city, it's definitely become my main hobby, since I can't ride horses here. 

So, there it is - just a brief overview of life at the moment.  And to celebrate this glorious  day, enjoy this beautiful picture :)

Just reading about your purging experience and that lightness of being it brings makes me want to purge some more at our place! We have decided to get rid of our TV and VCR and a bunch of plates that we don't usually use (they're really heavy), so that's a start--but we really need to dig into our closets. That's where the real stash lies.
