August 25

Today is a small vindication day for me of sorts. This was supposed to be the day my dad and I moved me back to Florida. Last night, we were supposed to go to dinner and a show and then load up the van and begin the two day drive.

About three weeks ago, I called that off believing it was a mistake. Last night, I went to the coffee shop to finish up a job and today, rather than leaving NYC behind, I am sitting in my room doing work on another job.

Yesterday, I made my room into a little office and it worked extremely well. Today I have done the same thing. I am not sure where this road is leading just yet, but if this week was any indication, I will be fine and I am excited.

I had such a different vision for this day for so long, it’s so interesting to realize that it’s never a good idea to try and crystal ball your future – you never know what’s coming your way.

Project Runway

Ummmm…pretty much this is the best show ever made. What really sucks though is that one of my assignments is doing work for Fashion Week and it’s not inconceivable that I could have gotten tickets to the finale through my contacts. What SUCKS ASS is that I will not be in New York on that day. What ROCKS is that I will be on a cruise ship, but when my choices are between have fun or have fun, I always get frustrated. Anyways, next season I will plan better and I will be at that show dammit. Or I will kill people trying to get there.

Anyways, my front runner is Uli. I think she makes the most beautiful things, and she does it all so quietly and without causing any drama. My second favorite is Michael – his style is so smart and sophisticated, and he’s another one who causes zero problems. Just comes in, kicks ass and leaves. I really hope these two make it to the finals. I’m trying to decide who I think should be the third. Laura has not made anything ugly yet, she’s consistent, but a bit boring and predictable. I really liked Allison and didn’t think she deserved to get kicked off last week, so that’s not a possibility. Kane can be a bit over the top but he’s always fun. Jeffrey was cool til this week…I’m not sure…think I need one more episode to see who takes that third spot, in my expert opinion.

Monday

Now that I've figured out how to earn an income while I'm figuring out what to do with the rest of my life, I am going to start writing my book in earnest on Monday. I now have the resources and time to work on it, and that's all I've been saying I've needed. And now I have it so there's no excuse. I have the whole thing written in my head, just gotta get it out on paper. Or screen, as it were.
