One Saturday Morning

I love Saturday mornings. We don't usually set an alarm to wake us on Saturdays, so I usually wake to the hubbs playing on his iPad in bed. I really shouldn't say "playing" because there are times when he's doing useful things. However, I harbor a slight jealousy of his iDevices, so it is playing to me.
Ellie Kitten usually cuddles me rather aggressively in the mornings, but we've trained her to not even try until she hears one of our alarms go off. So, on Saturdays once we're awake we set off an alarm and she jumps onto my chest for morning cuddles. It's cute when she doesn't drool. We do this for 5-10 minutes and then hubbs makes coffee and I pull myself out of bed.

I'm not really a morning person, so that usually takes ten minutes.

I was offended this morning when Ellie chose to not cuddle me, even after those minutes of procrastinating. And no morning cuddles makes Ellie grumpy. No joke. We're currently resolving our hurt feelings by playing fetch. Did I mention that she's a kitten who thinks she's a puppy?

This is her "I love treats" face..

Anyhow...

I went to get my hair cut by Mindi instead of going to a callback for UCI this morning. Don't be mistaken, I wasn't called back, so I wasn't ditching. Instead I got to see my lovely hairstylist and get my bangs back. To be completely honest (I think if you've read this far you deserve honesty) I was bummed to not be accepted to UCI. I'll probably do URTA auditions next year and try again for more schools. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out what God is doing with this. I know He has a plan and I know it is better than mine. But I really liked my plan. However, the positives abound. Plenty of positives.

Now for an example of something neat-o I did not plan.

 I did not plan on falling in love with my extraordinarily handsome best friend or stealing him from a 6'1" gorgeous British redhead. I had no idea I even possessed that ability! So, as you can see, I might as well not plan. :) All that is needed is one example, right?

What do I look forward to tonight? Another performance. Seeing those crazy, caring, actor friends at the playhouse. Yeah, that'll be nice. If you're local, you should come see the show. We only have two weekends left and I'm kinda funny. As funny as an overemotional, manipulative, pregnant girl can be.

Next audition? Perhaps Bianca in Taming of the Shrew. We shall see, grasshopper, we shall see.

My bangs and my smirky face wearing my 31Bits necklace (which you can barely see but is adorable, I promise).

Why "The Owl's Pajamas?"

I'll be completely honest here.
Last night the hubbs and I were sitting on the couch, talking about how I was going to start a blog so that I will continue writing. I was coming up with completely awesome names that he shot down (The Fluffy Glittery McNugget, Mrs. Pru's Blog O' Awesomeness, The Don't Read Me Blog, Bloggermonster... you get the idea) when I felt something.

I felt the satiny smoothness of my pajamas. This spurred "The Cat's Pajamas." Then I considered the implications. In order to be said feline's nightwear, I would have to be consistently interesting, witty, cool, and awesome. All of which I won't promise. This caused a minor moment of hesitation, but upon observing my pajamas (cutely printed with adorable owls) I had a eureka moment and fireworks exploded. Well, maybe no fireworks, but I was excited and told hubbs my newest idea. He acquiesced to my magnificent title, and thus, "The Owl's Pajamas" was birthed.

Not actually a cool story, but something with which to begin a blog. :)

What will this blog be about? Life, acting (a.k.a. life), marriage, love, fun, games, shoes, kittens... and more. If you read, feel free to comment and let me know what you think.

Welcome!
