It's a long drive back from Kansas City...

when it's 11:30 and you are only in Osceola Iowa, and getting off I-35 onto 34 means a two lane road and lots of fog and little towns. and I had to pee for much of the time, but it was keeping me awake so that was ok. I didn't really feel that sleepy actually, had some caffeinated chocolate bar thing, and a little frappuccino thing. It was just going so slow cuz of the dark and the fog..... At least I got to sleep a little in Amanda's car before Osceola, but she's going to be in AZ next week, picking out her wedding dress... oof. I think G's car would make it, but I wouldn't want to drive back myself that night. Prolly leave mega early in the AM, but I think that's better for me...... I could stay with D and Wally again, they are super sweet. G says he wants to come, I'd have to check if it's an ok night for him to show up to the meeting.... Lori also says I could stay at her place, she usually stays with her bf, so it's empty...

Totally haven't made contact with Stacey. I was going to meet with her yesterday afternoon, but it wasn't till the night before that I realized I was going to KC, and I tried getting in touch with her in every way, but never got through, so I don't know what's up. :( :( :( And it's 11:30 this morning and she hasn't called or emailed me yet, which I think is strange, and I'm a little freaking out that something is wrong... Especially since most of my ideas for projects for this SELP are based off the Artwalk.... I need to talk to Kevin and see if he thinks it's a good idea. I really want to get some gallery showing that will help integrate the "town and gown". I know people have tried to have t&g events before, but seems like maybe the Gown was dominant? Just in a Town space? I dunno. And I also want to support artistic kids in being artists, because it's not something I get the feeling is very supported here, at least not as much as sports and brains. And if more people came to the ArtWalk it would be more successful, generate more money for the town, and more local dollars means more tax $ for the Civic Center... So much potential. Just needs some direction, and I think I could help provide it. Where's Stacey?!? Did I blow it yesterday? Did she leave town now? Is she ok? pissed? busy? ARGH.

I'm a mess! I need a shower! I need to call dad... I need to know what's up with Stacey so I can plan my day. I need to call Jennie and find out about her play tonight.... Cathy wants me to come in for a staff meeting at 2:30 today. I need to keep printing stuff for World Designs. I need to get a blank journal for the collage workshop. I need to call Lucia. Ok, I did that! I need to call Erin, and I think Katja is my monthly girl, but I need to check that. AY YI YI! I need to figure out when I can actually go to the gym now. I need to start seriously looking for cars. I need Lori to email me a good time for a coaching call. I need to remember to actually DO my SELP homework actively instead of figuring out what could count for it at the last minute. I need divider tabs for my notebook. I need to stop writing this list on my blog!

On a happier note, I listened to my Spanish CD's to and from Osceola and learned a few new phrases. and I was able to ask G entirely in Spanish to give me a massage on my back!

Puede dame un massage? donde? Mi espalda!

Not that the punctuation and grammar is right when I type it, but hey, he got it!

I also know how to say things like "What type of reservation do you have for me tonight?"

heh heh
