Life has been rather busy recently. The store finally opened on August 1st and business has been booming. It seems like all of the people in Hays really needed a session of retail therapy. I've been working many hours at the store but I've enjoyed almost every minute of it.I've been learning the ropes as the store manager and every day I feel like more of an adult...it's weird. However, it is always nice to have a day off and relax.
My life outside of work has been quiet. I've been trying to come to terms with the fact that I don't have to worry about the first day that school starts or when fall break will be. I guess this all comes with the new chapter that has opened in the book of Laura.
I've been asked to do a theater production with the Hays Arts Council. Opening night is September 4th and that just so happens to be my 24th birthday. We are doing a series of 11 different monologues called "Talking With". Each monologues deals with a different obsession. My character, Caro, is a country bumpkin who is obsessed with snakes. Towards the end of the monologue I actually have to pick up a live snake and hold it while I speak. The idea scares me a little but I'm up for the challenge. I believe it will be good for me.
Since I haven't been able to take a vacation all summer, I've decided to spend some extra money to travel to the Bluegrass festival in Winfield Kansas on September 18th. My sister April goes there every year and I know it will be an awesome time. I can't wait to get away from Hays for a weekend, listen to some great music and hang out with amazing people.
Well faithful blog readers, I am off to make the most of my day away from work. I hope that life is treating everyone well. I will write more as my adult life develops
