Also known as my weekly reminder to look at life with the glass half full:

Finally making a dentist appointment and getting my tooth ache solved and my teeth in better condition. I also have a great dentist with caring people working there, that is a major plus.

Having some of the best nights sleep because of the medicine for my teeth.

LDI!! Gah... Lighting boards, lighting truss, lighting accessories, lighting instruments of all kinds..movers, LED floors, walls, and new source four LED lights that dim! Crazy stuff! Not to mention fun stuff like fake snow made of foam, and a waterfall that spells stuff and makes designs. Getting free sunglasses, and winning a WYSIWYG t-shirt. Getting a demo on the Jands Vista lighting board. Confetti Cannons..yes please. This event was amazing, and I cannot wait to attend another one in two years.

My bestie veronica's birthday, dressing up as a Zombie princess and going to cowboys to celebrate.

Seeing my mom, I missed her. =]

Fall Weather, it never gets old!

Relying fully and completely on God to get me through my days and onto tomorrow.

The new radio station branched off from Z88.3... now 95.9.. a new hip-hop and R&B christian music channel. In loveeee!

The play is finished, which is one less stress. Now it's onto worrying about the Opera Theatre Workshop, which shall be fun because I will be designing the lights for the Rent musical numbers.

Things I Love Thursday

Hello Blog,
I have missed you!
It has been quite some time since I have made the time to even visit back to my blog, let alone write.
Lots and lots of lovely things have been happening within the last few months...
Though before I get on with this, I suppose I should re explain this blog.
Things I Love Thursday, or TILT is all about writing about what I love. Mostly things I loved about my week and day. Though they are not limited to these time constraints, for example now.. I am going to go on about some things from the last few weeks.

To begin with, I made it through the Summer A semester I dreaded so much to go through. With A's, by the way. It was lots and lots of hours every week, but full of lots and lots of learning that I was thankful to be apart of. Including the show MidSummer Night's Dream at Valencia. I was on costume crew for the show and made a donkey head for the character Nick Bottom. It looked pretty awesome If I do say so myself. And the process of learning it was a whole new level of fun itself.

+The Midsummer production as a whole went extremely well, the look of the set, costumes, lighting and such came together very nicely
+Meeting new faces within this experience
+Being able to engage in learning about light board operating.
I learned scenic painting in Stage Craft and did a group enlargement project of a giraffe eating the moon, I think it's quite cute.

+Enjoying living in a nicer apartment
+Enjoying less driving and less use of gas because of my move
+Enjoying summer heat by the pool
+Cooking, despite my lack of skill
+Having a closet
+Still loving my phone five months later
+Making new friends
+Looking forward to my monthly massage this weekend
+Being able to wear normal clothes to class again, not ones covered in paint.
+Finding a new joy in the color red.
+Mood changing nail polish
+Glitter mood changing nail polish

Today...
+Trying some amazing food items prepared by cooks at my work during this morning's meeting
+The people I work with
+Spending time with friends from work
+Frozen yogurt = Love
+Window shopping/Trying on clothes we know we won't be buying
+Singing in the Apple Store
+Testing makeup at sephora
+"Testing" nail polish at Clair's, I got all my nails painted. haha
+Caving in a buying a dress from forever 21 that easily could have become my favorite dress in my closet
+Noticing the scripture reference John 3:16 on the bottom of the Forever 21 bags

A lovely image I found:

When a great song is made greater:

Basically life seems to be going smoothly lately and I am constantly finding more optimistic opportunities. I have many more things to be excited about this upcoming summer and I hope It's one I will remember for years to come. I have missed you guys, I once again.. Thank you for reading my blog.
Love You All,
KatrinaMarie
