OMG It's Early...

I'm sitting here right now at what I consider the butt-crack of dawn, and I'm totally not used to having to be up this early.

Today I have to go to the Venetian for a photo shoot. I'm not really sure if it's for advertisements or what..though the egomaniac in me is hoping for advertisements. I am on a few of the billboards at the moment, but it's one of those pictures that unless you know it's me, and unless you turn your head and squint a little, you wouldn't recognize me. We shall see... At the moment, bed is sounding a little better than fame.



In other news:

My dad came to the one woman show last night. I was positive that he was going to hate it as he doesn't usually like the things that I'm in. He also doesn't know how to watch things as a dad (he's a director and theater critic by trade), and so is overly critical.

He actually really enjoyed it, and actually told me that I was good! Even the few times he has thought I was good, he's never said it to my face...I usually have to find out from my sister.

He's in town one more day, so after the photo shoot, sleep will be out of the question as I'm sure there's some sightseeing that he wants to do.

Relapse? Or Fatigue?

So, I'm thinking that if you just got over being sick, then running through the Venetian (which must be a mile at least though I haven't measured it out), is probably a bad idea. I had just finished my last show at the Venetian, so I walked over the bridge to Treasure Island to meat my dad for dinner (did I mention he was in town?). Well, on my way back I realized that time had gotten away from me and if I didn't hurry, I was going to be pushing it to get to my one woman show.

So off a charged through the grand canal, my only thought being, "please don't let there be a line at the Coffee Bean, so I can get a cup on my way to the car!" (Yeah, I have my priorities).

Everything was fine, got my coffee, got to my car and headed out to the theater, when all of a sudden, waves of nausea hit me. Now all that's going through my head is that I have to stand up in front of a bunch of people for over an hour, making them laugh and not letting them know that I wanted to throw up, and how was I going to do that.

Luckily fate was smiling on me, and there wasn't enough people to do the show. For the first time in my life, I was happy that a show was canceled.

Still a little queasy today, but I'm not planning any sprints in the near future.

Friday's Warm Weather Favorites!

Though I've been told it's cold in many places across the country, it's not here...though I wish it was. The summers in Las Vegas are brutal, and the longer I can put it off, the better.

That said, some of you might be looking forward to the sunshine, so today's Friday's Favorites are all about Summer! Get them while the gettings good, and bring a little warmth in your home to chase away the chill.

Summer Submissions!

I'm not sure what the weather is where you are, but here in Vegas, it's really getting warmer. Half the time I don't need to wear a coat outside anymore. I'm not quite ready to bust out the summer clothes, but they will be making an appearance soon.



Submissions:

Every Friday, I put together an etsy mini of some of my favorite items made by other sellers, post it and call it my Friday's Favorites!

This week, I want to see your summer items! My first summer item of the season is this Lacy Tube Top in Mint Green!

If you have something in your shop that's great for summer, post the link in the comments, and check back tomorrow for the Friday's Favorites!

Sick... Ugh!

So yesterday, I left work halfway through because I was sick. I know I caught it from the stilt walker and the juggler (who are father and son, who were both working with me the other day). Usually if one person is sick, I don't often catch it, but working closely with two sick people, well, that did me in.

Thank god for thera-flu! After a quick stop at the drug store where I picked up medicine, throat drops and chicken soup, I lay on the couch with my doggies, drifting in and out of my drug induced slumber. Later on, the boyfriend heated me up some soup and spiked it with a bunch of cayenne pepper. After that, I knew I was already on the road to recovery.

I'm feeling much better today, but I probably won't do anything too strenuous as I'm at that point where it could easily turn around or plummet right back into relapse. Gibbs, Bess and my buddy Theraflu will be spending a lot of much needed sofa time together today.
