Missing Nora Ephron and her LISTS

I’ll miss what she’s having

Nora Ephron was and will always be an inspiration to me on so many levels. But reading her “What I Will Miss” and “What I Won’t Miss  LISTS has me thinking about my own priorities…

What I won’t miss

  • auditions
  • meetings that feel like auditions
  • indifferent casting directors
  • rejection
  • juice cleanses
  • reconciling my bank statement (ha! as if!)
  • internet dating
  • the scale
  • the rain
  • obligations
  • the hospital
  • Sunfare
  • press junkets
  • loneliness
  • uncertainty
  • indecision
  • TSA pat-downs (ugh!)
  • living in limbo
  • noise
  • New Year’s Eve
  • people asking me: “are you still acting?” (the worst!)

What I will miss

  • sand between my toes
  • twinkly lights
  • ice cream
  • Channing Tatum (seeing Magic Mike tonight!)
  • sushi
  • Paris
  • sunsets
  • New York Times crossword puzzles
  • watching Felicity again
  • music
  • hot pink roses
  • the ocean
  • working with good directors
  • mistletoe
  • singing while driving
  • spring
  • laughter
  • possibility
  • Dr. A
  • Halloween
  • Nora Ephron
  • Pinot Grigio
  • fortune cookies
  • the sun
  • Christmas
  • my friends
  • surprises
  • my Dad

OH GOOD… just realized, “what I will miss” is longer than “what I won’t.”

(what would you put on your lists? please share!)

            a good kiss
            hugs
            camping
            not being able to buy Evie Stewart a drink to celebrate her Academy Award 🙂
            oh and my family

          • Evie...:

            GREAT new additions! — I’d be happy at this point to forego the Oscar and be cast on a show that doesn’t get cancelled.

            Wish I’d put some of your things on my list.

            I’ve been thinking about more too…. I WON’T miss trying to call a human and getting an automated voice that takes twice as long, then finally getting to a human who’s in India, attempting to speak with my accent, but instead speaking in a way I cannot understand AT ALL.

            Sorry to rant… really I just want to say “thank you” for putting so much thought into it.
            : )

What do you think?

I’M A SLAVE IN E.R.!
Sentenced to volunteer at Greater L.A. Medical (GLAM!) Hospital... I'm on-call in my worst nightmare -- ?!
