Where in the hell has the time gone?
It seems freakishly impossible that we are nearly into May. MAY, people!
Wow. Ok, so what's been going on with me? Well, really just the same-old-same-old over here in Apartment 4A. Some highlights from the past month:
- Adding "The Good Wife" and "Royal Pains" to the list of shows I've worked 'background' on, as well as doing my first movie! On "The Good Wife" I played a lawyer, and told my Dad he better relish the moment, as it's the closest either of his children will ever get to following in his professional footsteps. I think he was proud.....
- Nearly (literally) running into Angela Lansbury in Eataly (Mrs. Potts!!)
- flying home to Minnesota for what seemed a hot second for my cousin Kristin's Bachelorette Weekend. Oh what fun! A party bus + one stereotypical Wisconsin townie bar + a few "classier" bars + 25 ladies celebrating one of their bestie's last fling before the ring = EPIC-NESS.
Although, word to the wise.... Be sure you're properly stretched before you decide to take a spin on a stripper pole...... Just trust us on this one.
So, life's been good......
........ and it only gets better as I fly home again this week for the wedding of one of my most favorite people.
(If you're new to the blog, and need a little background on "The Girls" (aka, myself and my two cousins), check out
Kristin's getting married!
Yes, my second sister-cousin, the girl who can crack a neck (she's a future chiropractor!) like no one's business, and the girl who can bust a mad freestyle-dance move at any given bar or wedding reception, is tying the knot on Saturday, and I couldn't be more excited for her.
I could sit here and rehash the entire 26 years we've been related; regaling you with tales from our tutu and sequin-rich baby ballerina days (we played it all - Dandelions, Yankee Doodle Dandies, you name it), our what-in-hell-were-we-thinking-getting-a-perm days, our infamous family vacations to the West Coast and Disney World days, our competitive (well, competitive until I decided to stop pretending I was at all athletic) and wonderfully fun middle school and high school days, and of course, tales from the more recent days when we three Girls went our own directions to claim our separate paths in this big world.......
-OR-
I can SHOW you just how much I heart this girl.
Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
Kristin and I have done it all together.
We've seen the world.
From the grandeur of Buckingham Palace....
and the "Bali Hai" beaches of Kauai.....
to some of the 'finest' backwoods bars of Wisconsin.
(PS- Only if you're really lucky does your backwoods bar come complete with a suspected outlaw named Garbage.)
We rode in style.
From our matching Mazda 626s in high school...
to our families' matching PT Cruisers in Hawaii (luxury at its finest.......)
to, shopping carts...... well....... because sometimes there just isn't a better mode of transportation when celebrating one's 25th birthday.
We've tried to keep it classy over the years...
Weddings.
Golf Tournaments.
Fancy birthday dinners.
mostly succeeding...
but, once in awhile.......
failing horribly....
These outfits..... I can't.
Bachelorette Shenanigans
?
Really. Can't take us anywhere. Especially not on a boat with unlimited Bud Light.
We survived HURRICANE IRENE together here in NYC
Mainly in thanks to trail mix, chips & salsa and an assortment of adult beverages.
And, after ol' Irene blew through, we decided doing cartwheels in the middle of 8th Avenue was the absolute best way to celebrate.
We've had some times we'll never forget....
(and maybe a few times we *should* forget....)
And, we've made it through some terribly hard goodbyes.
But, now with Kristin marrying her absolutely amazing fiance Grant next Saturday, and as we transition into the next chapter(s) of "The Girls"...
I raise my glass, and wish the best for these two,
knowing that "perfection" doesn't even begin to describe their future.
Love you, Sissy.
xo,
Brookie
