Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁 And if you’re in the US, I hope you had a very happy Thanksgiving!
I’ve been off all week, and it has been so lovely—especially now that I’m used to it! (Anyone else need, like, five days off before you’re remotely relaxed?) Lots of Hallmark/Christmas movies, cat snuggles, visits with friends and family, and another Take Your Daughter to Walmart Day! 😂
And, most importantly, my anxiety has been manageable, unlike when I was off in October! 🥳
One major source of sparkle this week, though, came from doing something waaay out of my comfort zone. On Sunday, I went to a Meet and Greet with Lexi Ainsworth and Haley Pullos from General Hospital! This sums things up pretty well:
I’ve watched GH on and off since 1999 (Lucky and Liz 1.0 🥹) and was “on” again when I started grad school in 2009. (Gotta love being home and free at 3:00 in the afternoon!) Lexi and Haley had just joined the cast as SORASed Kristina and Molly, and, as I tend to get drawn into the teen scene, Kristina’s domestic abuse storyline sucked me right in. I’m mostly “off” again with GH these days, but I do try to keep up with these girls’ goings-on (…which is easy because they’re hardly ever on 😩).
I had never been to an event like this before and was so far out of my comfort zone, I was in another zip code. But I had a great time geeking out over old soap storylines, and I was even brave enough to ask a question during the Q&A! And they were so sweet when I got to meet them. (I got called up first—which would not have been my choice—and was like, “hi, I’m so sorry, I’ve never done this before! You’re both adorable! I feel like we’ve grown up together!” 😂)
Now that I’m removed from the anxiety and anticipation of it all, I’m so glad I was brave enough to go! ☺️
(I got tickets for the Meet and Greet right after this road trip, so one brave, out-of-my-comfort-zone decision begets another, I guess! 😁)
What put the sparkle in your week? ✨
Happy Friday! xoxo
