Thoughts from a Tuesday Morning

I am thinking that I should begin blogging about the crazy things that happen to me while working in retail. But my fear is that these people I talk about will come across my blog and their feelings will be hurt. They don't realize they're crazy and if I call them out on it ... Well, it just isn't my place. Nonetheless, retail is a scary place.

I am sad that my beloved "Spelling Bee" has come to a close. I am glad to have left with some new and amazing friendships. I am so grateful for the carpool, for the cast, for the crew, for the family that I have watched grow over the past month and a half. I will miss Olive Ostrovsky. She was a role that I grew to appreciate more and more each night, and I feel like she will forever change my outlook on life. It's amazing how someone you don't even know can create a character, put her down on a page, then you give her a piece of yourself and it blooms into a friend. I like to call roles that I've played "friendships." Some people consider characters that they've played themselves. I think that when a show ends, you never should lose yourself and that's what happens when you claim to be the character you portray. I think they're friendships... They come along and you put some of yourself in, then you gain some new life in you. You move on and miss them, but there's always pictures, notes, books and many fun things to hold on to and remember them by. Good-bye Olive Ostrovsky. You were a really good friend. I hope we meet again someday.
