Running and a Road Side Rescue
I can’t believe it’s been another week…time to reflect and check in…The last week FLEW by!
I’ve been so busy that I’ve been running to keep up! I
1)had repairs done to the Rv on a couple different days,
2)moved all of my stuff into storage in my friend’s garage,
3) sold a bunch of stuff I didn’t need/want on Craigslist ( I love Craigslist- it paid for the engine repairs).
4) Went to three children’s birthday parties (including Cody’s which I had to buy the supplies for, set up, host, etc)
5) cleaned out a refrigerator that has probably not been cleaned in over a year at least.
6) Scheduled some very exciting upcoming video shoots
7) gave the boy a mohawk (the boy is my love term for Cody)
Entered a poetry fellowship contest for $15,000 (Cross your fingers, light a candle, say a prayer!)
9) all the usual life stuff
10) actually did get some sleep
11) broke down on my way to Carly Rae’s to host the Speak Easy
After replacing the throttle cable and fuel pump, it was still breaking down.
Check out what I look like frazzled and sans make up in this misadventure when the RV stalled followed by *insert dramatic music here* the death of a battery.
I took it to the mechanic the next day and he replaced the fuel filter and fuel line for me. He didn’t even charge for labor! I am so blessed! It’s been running great ever since!
By Friday night, I was in the middle of a nervous break down, but after Cody’s birthday party Saturday, things returned to a slightly slower pace…for about two days. Coming up this week, I’m acting in two short films, visiting an awesome poetry/film festival at the University of Louisville, and Mike Driskell will be starting the renovation of the inside of the RV….and I’ll be taking some video of it!
Oh! A nice little surprise to add in to it all! I won this great little prize package from my blog pal, Jake over at his Blog :)

Has your week been as manic as mine? I sure hope that things are unfolding in your life that bring you an abundance of joy as you realize your wildest dreams!
Leave me a comment or two about a misadventure of your own

One of my ferrets escaped and has not been seen since. 12 days now. I’m heartbroken.

Wow Divinity, that was fun. The light glare and the magic flute were my favorites. Oh and Cody’s haircut that was a good insert. I look forward to seeing other videos tons of fun

Hi Divinity,
That was hilarious. I loved the see-through dashboard and it was fun having a look at where you were going but it was especially lovely to see your gorgeous (not little anymore) boy!
Hugs! xx
