falling in Self ♥ • Day 37 •
the bomb & tha bomb

PART I:  Ahhh the recovery from an awful performance night is slow and humbling.  I blew my set the other night on stage....BAD!  I'm not talking the kind of (arguably) unrealistic post event self-critique many artistes subject themselves to. I'm talking full on funny looks from the audience as if they were watching someone tumbling down a rocky hill. Oooooowph!  Anyway, it happens, I guess (my 2nd time in 6 years).  Nevertheless, I reviewed (um a number of times) what I could have done differently, got a bad night's sleep and decided (the next day) to "let it go."

PART II: What better remedy for the not so funnies...than the super funny! :D  Let's call it humor homeopathy ;)  I called up some friends (who had witnessed the comedic crash & burn) & invited them to see Despicable Me!  What a RIOT!  As if that wasn't enough fun... add a side dish of TOYS R US!  Yep, looking for gags, gifts & what people? U got it, TOYS! Good times in the store that once was my childhood fantasy (& my parents' nemesis on ANY car trip that took us by Valley Stream Mall).  Whatever, they're ok (now).  Funny, my fantasy store now, as an adult, still involves toys, go figure?  (Eh, don't judge me, we start out in diapers & end up in diapers, why not revisit the toy theme too)? Anyway... what scrum-deli-yum-cious friend date night would be complete with getting a sugar rush at one of my fave bakeries (in this salty lake town)....Gourmandise (250 South 300 East, SLC, UT)!  So a night of laughter was the sweet, literally, self-lovin' remedy!  Here's a gift for you...for love & laughs... enjoy!
