Ok, my darlings, it's the weekend you've been waiting for!!! Ok, it's the weekend I've been waiting for :) I"m so excited!! But first, a moment to reflect... One year ago tonight, I was dragging myself and a carload of stuff across the country by myself to a new life and my destiny... I drove 17 hours and crashed in a Sheraton in Albequerque. The next day, I made it a short driving day, and ended my travels in Flagstaff, a cold and wonderful ski town at the foot of a brilliant mountain. I got to town, found a hotel, grabbed myself a sub, some beer, and made it back to my room just in time for the Oscars opening monologue. The next day I drove through the Painted Desert and took in the magnitude of the world and what I had done -- I had made a choice to take on the world. I had made a choice to leave everything I knew behind. I had made a choice to not be afraid anymore, not live in fear of my situation, the unknown... nothing, ever again. Well, that's not true -- I still catch myself fearing the unknown and my career and my life and my future and my unborn child I still haven't conceived and my past and my job to pay the bills and my weight and my age and my hopes and my dreams going down the tubes... and then I catch myself. I'm strong. I'm fierce. I have an unbelievable man who loves me, and I can do anything. So take that.
Damn.
So, that said, I'm here in Hollywood, babies, and it's Oscar time. So, I took a walk over to Hollywood and Highland, home of the Kodak Theatre and the Academy Awards -- 2 freakin blocks from my apartment -- and took some pictures! Whee!!
I'll see what I can tomorrow, but for the meantime, enjoy! :)
Namaste,
