If I had planned a crazy weekend for my life, I don't think I could have dreamed this one up. Friday started out very normal, very good. I worked at the restaurant and then went to Mercury to help build a tree that is the centerpiece for their upcoming show, Jane Eyre. Let's just say that sculpting chicken wire around 18' planks of wood and then coating muslin in a glue-water mixture wasn't really my idea of a good time. Of course, it was Mercury and I had a blast. Always do there.

I fled the tree and came home to get ready to go out with the Aida folks to the Midnight Martini Show. I've seen the show many, many times, but it's always different with each group. My friend Laurel was the guest vocalist, so it made the show that much better for me. Of course, my stomach was in knots the whole time in anticipation of what I had promised I would do -- I was finally going to ask out the guy I've had a crush on for a while. I'm not the smoothest operator, but with a little prodding by Laurel, all went well. :)

Today. Well. I woke up late (wonderful) and went to the restaurant to talk with Elizabeth about my potential new job. In a couple of weeks, I'll be returning to the corporate world. :) In Akron. :( I'll make do... We discussed details of that, discussed her love life, my lack thereof. The standards with me and Elizabeth. As I was leaving, I got a call from my Mercury friend Molly. A mutual friend of ours has been feeling sick for a while and after a week of doctors, has finally been diagnosed with Leukemia. This has set my whole weekend into a tailspin. I'm sure that he will pull through with flying colors, but it's just such a blow. I can't help wanting to be with him and trying to make him forget what he's going through.

Because of this news, my planned crazy weekend has turned into a staying home crazy weekend. Baby, you're on my mind, in my thoughts and prayers. I love you.
