2011 in Review
ok i'm going to try to do this from memory so we will just hit the ultimate high lights, i guess.
january
new year's day i was in hawaii with the family for a week. that was pretty much amazing. i moved in with april. i had auditions for comedy sportz. and on my birthday i saw a child fall from the second floor of the macy's. it was traumatic.
february
found out i got into comedy sportz. i don't recall anything else exciting happening.
march
sometime about here i went to hershey! they do this really funny tour / ride with singing cows and then a gift shop with all the candy you could imagine. i got a lot of chocolate and was happy.
april
florida road trip! of doom. we got to north carolina and the radiator in my car cracked. after lots of stress and money the car was running again and we made it to orlando for a couple days of fun times. in april comedy sportz opened. after this point most of my weekends involved me being at the theater.
may
after nearly six years of employment with dave & buster's, i started a new job at the aloft hotel. it was a lot of learning during may. so much information. also, the engine on the forenza died and i said good bye to my friend-za. and i bought the honda fit. oh, how i love thee, honda fit.
june
this month was a lot of working and a lot of comedy sportzing. oye.
july
tournament!! that's right july was comedy sportz tournament! once a year comedy sportz players from around the global join together for a week of classes and shows and shenanigans. it was pretty much amazing. this year was in indy.
august
we had a hurricane! and an earthquake! all while i was house sitting. it was exciting. and by exciting i mean it just made life difficult and made me thankful for electricity. i got an iphone!
september
asia fysh came to visit! this also led to me meeting biff from back to the future. so, yeah my life is amazing. we went to a baseball game in dc. we went to a party. pretty much it was awesome. any time asia fysh comes around things are amazing. hobo baby was born! yay!
october
oh october. october happened. at the beginning of the month i went on a business trip to stamford, ct. this involved me flying to new york and then hiring a cab to ct. sadly, my wallet was stolen at the airport in richmond but i didn't realize it until i was in new york. with no money. and no id. it was absurd but i got through it. a week later i went to ca to visit. while i was there my uncle had a stroke and passed away within the next week. i wound up being in ca for a little over two weeks.
november
this was a month of decisions. i decided it was time to move to ca and i started making preparations for that. spent time with diane's family... thanksgiving and also the zombie walk! went black friday shopping and got pajamas from old navy!
december
spent a lot of time packing and getting rid of belongings to get ready for the move. comedy sportz had the first annual improv festivus. it was fabulous. went to florida for christmas and had an absolute blast. my last day at work will be 12/30 and then it's off to ca!
