Rebecca, however, is owning life. I'm sure you all have gathered by now that Rebecca is my best friend at job number one. Job number one is completely miserable when she is not here. Soon she will be gone putting herself through another torturous round of conducting auditions. I'm not looking forward to her absence. But before the whirlwind of auditions takes place, Rebecca is owning life.
When I think back to going through grad school auditions, I remember staying up ridiculously late filling out applications, making "down to the wire" trips to FedEx, crying a lot, practicing a ton, and I'm pretty sure there was lots and lots of sweating (and clogged toilets, but that's just going too far).
Was I working out? No. Is Rebecca working out? Yes.

| She goes to the gym, she goes to boxing, she lifts weights at the office, and she beats me everyday in our "fitbit" competition. |
Was I having afternoon tea each day at 3:00? No. Is Rebecca? Yes.

| She's sophisticated! |
Was I conducting concerts for a non-profit that I created and run? No. Is Rebecca? Yes.

This weekend is Andy's 30th birthday. WOW!!! There will be festivities left and right, but come Monday I really truly sincerely hope to get back on track with my life. I haven't felt "in control" of things ever since coming back from Washington, and honestly - I usually struggle whenever I get back... I'm sad, I miss my parents, I miss having vacation and free time. But come Monday! It's time to get back on track, and I will be using Rebecca as inspiration, because Lord knows if she can own life while preparing for auditions, then there is noooo reason I can't at least give it an effort. :-)
Aaawww, shucks. You're making me blush. Hey, I don't run **marathons** like some people, so, you know, there's that...
ReplyDeleteYou are a machine Rebecca! I will get back on track with you Babs. We are scheduling gym time ASAP.
