Today has not been that good mentally. I've been wanting to get away but even looking at hotels for one night at the beach has been overwhelming. It is hard when Wilmington is has the most affordable beaches near it. I got really anxious (weird breathing included) and just had my own little meltdown but a call from a great friend has slowed my mind down. Next time I will be willing to take the "Chesson" approach and just get in the car and go with no planning and research. I'm getting out of this house today and that will help.
It's a good thing I have this week off.

A Quarter Million Girl Scouts and a Musical
This past week has been busy and proof that I needed time off from my full time job. Luckily I had put in for vacation many months ago for this coming up week and project Manda winding down and forgetting about work for a while can happen. I have even set my phone to not let me know when there are emails waiting for me. I'm sure my sanity is already thanking me. I think I might escape for a couple days to prevent myself from looking at a computer.
Last weekend was amazing with 250,000 fellow Girl Scouts on the National Mall in DC. It was during a heat wave but we knew when to head to a museum to cool off. It was so much fun hanging out with Bonnie and doing as we pleased with no definite time schedule. Quick question: Who has ever wanted to wait two hours for a table at a restaurant? I never thought I would but Hard Rock Cafe, Washington, D.C. completely changed that! The place was packed with Girl Scouts and one school group. When a dancing song came on (Cupid Shuffle, etc.) the waiters would grab girls waiting for tables and dance with them. It was actually more of an after party. Every hour they wished Girl Scouts a Happy 100th Birthday in person and in video from other locations. It was a good day to be a Girl Scout. I really don't think there's a bad day to be a Girl Scout but I'm sure you get the point. Girl Scouts literally took over DC.
Tech week for my first time since 2006 began Monday. It has gone very well and the actors are really good people. Not a night goes by that the costume crew does not receive thanks from someone. We have also got many awesome comments about the costumes from audience members. I feel so blessed. Katrina totally rocked her first time costuming a show. If you missed "Kilroy Was Here" by Kernersville Little Theatre this weekend then you have one more to take advantage of the opportunity. It is very patriotic and full of very talented people. It is a musical so be prepared for song and dance!
I haven't seen my Chess in over a week. I'm going through withdrawls and miss him terribly. I've got to see my boyfriend in the near future. Grrr! to long distance relationships!
