Thank you to everyone who expressed concern over my mother's health in my last update, friends and strangers alike. I need to get back to some of you still. She's having surgery tomorrow, and hopefully everything will be ok. Thank you again those of you who wished her (and me) well. It's a difficult thing to talk about in my journal, and as I've already promised some of you, I'll get back to my fun party reports ASAP.
So far so good with my first week of my own massage therapy business of sorts. I made a new contact yesterday--the neighbor of another client. I got to his house in an hour's notice for some sort of neck pain emergency. This is a gated community, and all the homes are jaw-droppingly beautiful. These are the kind of clients I want.
I felt at ease immediately when I saw his teenage daughter with purple hair, who had just wandered out of bed at 1pm. I smiled at her and hoped she would see the SG sticker on my car. Everything went well, except for me stupidly wearing my Miss Sixty heels (I was trying to dress up my jeans 
) and clanking around on the wood floor----which I also spilled my massage lotion on! 
The guy was so nice and forgave me for being klutzy, and was very generous.
I have 2 appointments tonight with 2 clients from my old spa, a gay guy and young woman. They live downtown, so it won't take me long to get there. The guy called MY OLD BOSS to get my number, saying he wanted to follow me and not go back to her spa.
Right now she's either saying "That fucking client stealing bitch" or "Oh, I'm happy to help Karen out" depending on how high she is. As an aside, if you're going to be a pothead, I have no problem with that. I like to burn one every so often (and then order 8 things from Taco Bell!!! I get out of control!!!). But please, chill out on the mood swings. They can be scary and unpredictable. Hence, the reason this person is no longer my boss.
I'm going to Whole Foods (
) in a little while to get some new, fancy massage lotion for tonight (since I spilled most of mine yesterday. Wot a dork) and I'll try to bring the spa experience to the clients in their homes. I love making people happy and relaxed this way, and I never thought of myself as a "people person".
So, thank God my phone keeps ringing with work. Like I was telling McG today, I just need a little more self discipline to be ready to work at a moment's notice. It's exciting, though. I've done the 9 to 5, and I can't see going back to that madness.
I better be early for once.... and get back here after I do some work first

Love for you, hate for authority

Oh my god, I love doing that Lovers sketch with Will so much. That comes from when I was in college. There was a professor; my friend had her (1) and kind of got to be friends, and before the break for Christmas, she asked my friend what she was going to do and she said, I dont know. And the teacher goes, Yes- just take it easy- read a book, take a bath, eat a bonbon, spend time with your luv-uh. So that became for me and my friend just this big thing we would say all the time, luv-uh. Will and I were writing something together and hes like, What about that lover thing that you said in the other scene? Those are the funniest things, the things you joke around with friends. So then we developed it. Were like, Eeuuugh, you know, when we write it. I laugh so hard, it makes me sick.
The first time at read-through we could not get through it, just like on the show we cannot get through it. I try not to laugh too much, because I dont like it when Im watching TV and I see someone breaking \up all the time; it becomes sort of cheap. (2) But sometimes you just cant help it. Ive never been chastised by Lorne for it, but I dont know what happens while hes watching it. Will will just make a face or go like, Unnhhhh unnhhhhh, or something, and it just gets me.
(1) Oh wow, I was wrong, the original gross Professor Klarvin was a lady, not a gross dude!
(2) Yeah, Fallon and Sanz
