All-natch-err-ale

I've decided to become healthier--for several reasons. First of all, I am already preeettty healthy, but I know there is more than I can do:

-I think I have hypoglycemia. Which sucks real bad. I have noticed since I was little that I always sweat when I eat processed sugar( i.e. candy, cake, etc.). I never really knew what it was caused by until the day before yesterday. Apparently, when people are hypoglycemic, they have low blood sugar. Makes no sense, right? How can I have low blood sugar when I eat plenty of sugar?? Well, when I eat processed sugar, my body makes more insulin than a normal person, which, in turn, eats up the processed sugar too quickly leaving me with an off-set balance of too much insulin and too little sugar. Eventually, if I keep on eating much processed sugar, my body will eventually stop making insulin altogether, which would make me diabetic. SO-- even though it really sucks, I can't eat processed sugar. : ( But really, it will be better for me in the long run anyways.

-I've also gotten migraines for a loooong time. I went to the doctor about a year ago and had all kinds of tests to determine what triggered them. After the testing, they couldn't find anything wrong and just diagnosed me with chronic migraines. The doctor gave me a medication to get rid of them and it has worked for a year. However, I hate hate hate having to rely on a medicine to be happy, ya know? It just stinks. And if I miss a dose, I get all kinds of migraines all through the day. SO-- I am going to try to ween myself off of the medication and try different natural cures at home to see if one will work for me instead. I really hope it works. : )

That's all for now. Just thought I'd share!

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

Never knew that was minstrel song... It's crazy what things we have grown up on and yet we have no idea where its roots lie. It's almost like we (Americans) try to hide some of the uglier things within our country's history...Anywho, we'll save that for another day--

Life is going well for the most part. School is CAAHHHRAZY busy, but that's the norm. "I'll Be Seeing You" opened last weekend at MIllworks. It's a really great show, and I hope the word gets out about it. It's very difficult to open a theatre in general, but especially in today's economy. Hopefully, audiences will pick up. A ton of my family and friends were able to make it on Friday night, so that made me super happy...

Speaking of family and friends, Fraiz and my Mom mischeviously put together a surprise party for me. I had noooo idea and it was incredibly weird walking in to my parents' house seeing most of my best friends and family. Such a wonderful moment-- everyone I love with me for a single moment in time. It made my birthday rock. : ) We also did some karoake--which is ALWAYS a good idea.

Doing quite a bit of radio work at the moment. Broadcasts and planning and, well, stuff. It's fun though for the most part. I'm working on getting WMTS a new website which is super exciting. We need it BAD. Pumped.

It's been quite difficult the past two weeks-- Frazier's mommy, Mary Kae, was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. She had breast cancer just a few years ago and this just kills me to think that she has to go through this again. But she's fighting and she has a lot of people behind her praying and giving their support. I know she is going to beat this!!

Been working on grad school apps and whatnot. That is a full-time job for sure. Not completely sure if I want to go in the fall of next year or not, but I want to have plenty of options if I decide to for sure. I'm also auditioning at TTA which is coming up soon. Hopefully that will open many doors for me for when I graduate. We will see!!! : )
