October 7th

I'm grateful for:

• the crispness in the air that tells me autumn is really here.
• the way the sunlight illuminates the red and orange leaves on the trees.
• getting to hang out with Chris Tavern and watch his school play rehearsal on Monday. He has a great connection with his kids - you can tell they really love him - and he's created something really funny with this group of young actors. I appreciated that he wanted my opinion and implemented my suggestions. He's also asked me to assistant-direct his NOMT in May/June, which is very exciting.
• finally finding a black cardigan I like today. (I've been wanting one for my work wardrobe now that it's getting colder.) You'd think it'd be the easiest thing in the world, but most of the cardigans I'd found either made me look like an old lady going to bingo or a five year old. Very happy to find a good one today.
• Clinique Bonus Time. Gotta love free cosmetics.
• SYTYCD Vegas Week - I love it when the choreographers kick the dancers asses and show them what it really takes to be in the Top 20. I also adore when Tyce and Mia get brutally honest. I was sooo sad to see Ryan cut, though... loveloveloved him.
• being totally spoiled by my company. BBW is launching it's new and improved body creams and shower creams soon, so all associates got to pick out a free body cream, shower cream, and a small candle. I love getting to try new products, especially for free!
• chai tea. Yummm.
• very, very good dreams involving Jason Mraz.
