Wow. Short weeks throw me off bigtime, anyone else? Wierd about that. OH and I just saw a commercial for Doubt, and remembered this really strange dream I had with the cast last night. Wierd. And I went to bed early!!!
I started working The Artist’s Way this morning. For those of you that don’t know it, it’s been around for years. It’s part self-help part spiritual guide part creative workshop designed to unblock creativity and open ones self up to more. More what you say? I have no idea but I want it. More ideas. More creative moments in life. More ways to untap those things in your brain that yo want to DO…but don’t know how. It’s twelve weeks and while that doesn’t seem like a long time, I’ve never been able to complete this. I’ve tried a few times, back when I was touring and what the hell else did I have to do with my time? But I feel better, more centered and committed now so we’ll see. Morning pages are the thing that everyone gets kind of hung up on. You have to begin your day by stream of conscious writing three pages every morning. Be it lists, or a novel, or journaling about the day or writing over and over I don’t have anything to write about…whatever. three pages. Since I’ve been writing fairly regularly these last few years, this wasn’t that big of a deal today. I remember when I was touring, especially that first one when I bought the book and was trying to heal myself from the shattered marriage, the morning pages kicked my ass.
Have any of you done this course before? I know Kizz and I talked about it on my last visit. Anyone out there ever COMPLETED it before? I like what Kizz said about it. She knows a woman who has completed it twice, and her (Kizz’s) take on it was this, “I thought that if I made myself get through it, finish the whole thing, I’d be “fixed” but clearly that’s not the outcome. And learning to go through it and use it the way I want, for MY needs was something that I found useful.” So, that’s in the back of my mind too…maybe not to expect the Tony Award winning one woman show to pour forth after these twelve weeks….but maybe I can write the first page. who knows.
It’s getting warmer here folks. 57 degrees today! We even have a fire danger warning tomorrow! A whopping 68 degrees tomorrow…RIDICULOUS!!! Crazy ridiculous.
I feel super grown up from the working out and eating well and knowing where my tax and other re-fi documentation was stashed and gathering it and having my appointment today. I’m going to stay home tonight and read a few scripts, fold this laundry on the couch over here. Go to the gym tonight…though what I’d really like to do is buy Bob’s yoga workout dvd. You know I love him. he reminds me of my sweet baby Dion. So I just gravitate to him. I’ve never been one to want to buy workout dvd’s…but I kind of want Bob’s.
Ok. I got sidetracked over at Amazon and forgot to come back and finish!
Today is ROGER’S BIRTHDAY!!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR FRIEND! Thank you for all you do for me, for your love and friendship. I hope you are having a great day, and a fabulous 2009 thus far. I love you!!!!
Misti Ridiculous 
Happy Birthday Roger!!!!!!I had a brand new actors’ nightmare dream last night. I did an audition and waited in a room where all the other people were waiting. I got called up to the panel (director/choreographer and…whoever) to hear whether I got to the next step and the room was dark. I thought it was really dramatic of them to bring us into a dark room then turn up the lights for the announcements. Time passed and nothing happened. I realized there was no surprise, I was in the wrong place, I’d been called up and I’d blown it! I proceeded to go running hell bent all over the building and could never find the real room with the director in it. My mind is a terrible thing.
