So Hillary came to visit this past weekend. It was so good to see her. For those of you not in the know- I met Hillary in Wilmington at an Audition for a production of Steel Magnolias I was directing. After I cast her I was in rehearsal with her and she says " Wow- that line of direction you just gave me really reminds me of a direction my high school drama teacher once gave me" and I was like- "oh really- where did you go to high school?" and She was like "Virginia Beach" and I got all pale- and was like "First Colonial High school?" and she says "How did you know that?" and I say "Because I went to First Colonial High school and was in their drama program" and come to find out Hillary started FC the year after I graduated. Small world. We have been best friends ever since. She lives in NYC and works for Lincoln Center, and we had a great girls weekend in the big city. I get to go to NYC and see her next spring, job willing. Anyway this was us and the bean in Millenium Park. Click Pic for more. Happy Wednesday.

So this bad boy drops you at a 65 degree angle down 400 feet- and all you gt is a seat belt and a lap bar. And we rode front seat for this one...it was AWSOME!!!!! We rode a grand total of 13 coasters that day- and many other thrill rides. We stayed in a great hotel a mile from the park- that came with a free parking voucher- and free breakfast vouchers, and it was really great. Cedar Point Rocks! I am going to get me to a water park before the summer is out I promise!!

This is my Pocket Ninja. I bought him at the Pitchfork Music Festival. He was in the crafts tent. He is ridiculously cute. I have started a new hobby, Ninja photograp. hy. He goes with me every where, but he hides and he sees you...do you see him? Sometimes he is very stealthy, and other times he is not. Click the picture and check out the other Ninja shots on my flickr page, if you feel like it. (Did I mention I now work 40 hours a week at a desk job? though my jobs ROCKS! I don't get to move around much-the Ninja makes me happy!) I hope you all ar having a great weekend- (Its a Thursday in my work week today)- But Have a good one!! : )
