Thirteen Things about LINDSEY!
1. I’m going insane lately – life is so incredibly busy that I haven’t had any time to post here on my blog, and that makes me sad at myself 
. But, I’m gonna do my Thirteen this week! I apologize for not doing it last week!
2. One reason I’m super psycho busy is because of the show, which is going FABULOUSLY. It is in intense crazy hard amount of work, but we’re loving every single minute of it. If you’re within a three hour radius of Winston-Salem, NC, I HIGHLY recommend you consider coming to see the show. We were just published on the cover of ArtView Magazine, and we have 2 more magazine covers coming out in the next week or so! Tickets can be bought at our website.
3. The other main reason that I’m going crazy is because my work from the classes that I took incompletes in last semester is due on Monday, and I have a ton left. I have a make up exam on Friday, so I’m nervous about that. The rest is due by email on Monday . . . lots of prayers are what I need.
4. This weekend we’re going to Charleston, SC to see a magic show. It’s by some 18 year old kid, and while it’s not similar in concept to what we’re doing (we’re taking “magic show” a step further and creating theatre from it), we are curious to see what someone else relatively close to us in age is doing. So, that should be interesting – especially since I’ve never been to Charleston! I’m excited 
.
5. Also, my best friend Stephanie came to visit this past weekend. Technically she was here for a recruiting visit for Teach for America, but she stayed at my apartment, so we got to visit some. Not as much as we wanted to, because we were both incredibly busy, but it was the first time I’d seen her since August, so that was really awesome. I miss her tons.
6. A few friends and I started a NASCAR Fantasy League on the NASCAR website. We’re so ridiculous (especially since about half of us have no clue what we’re doing, and the other half are RIDICULOUSLY intense about the whole thing . . . they REALLY know what they’re doing). It makes us smile, and that’s what’s important 
.
7. I’m not having a hard time with getting ideas for posts and things at Reading Red Letters . . . I just have NO TIME to post there. I’m barely posting here, and when I am posting, it’s little quizzes and things. I want to spend my time writing those posts, and that’s something that I haven’t had time for. If you’ve been checking over there, please don’t get discouraged – as soon as this show is over on the 26th and my midterms are over on the 27th, I’m going to start some hardcore blogging over there. Watch out .
8. Does anyone have any fun new recipes to share? I have a few recipes that I use over and over again because they’re quick, and I realized that I’d like some variety if anyone would like to offer me some, haha! If you send me your recipes, I’ll post them on here with a link to your site!
9. I enjoyed answering your questions before, so send me more! What do you want to know about me? What do you want to hear me talk about?
10. I auditioned for a show yesterday and got called back! It’s a great Woody Allen play called Old Saybrook. Callbacks were today, and I think they went well, so fingers crossed! The cast list is supposed to be posted by Friday night!
11. We found out our lighting designer (an off-Broadway lighting designer, so a big deal!) will be coming in half a week earlier than we thought he would. YAY!!!
12. We’re going to be the morning segment in the news in a week and a half for the local Fox News affiliate. We’re going to be doing some smaller sleight of hand tricks as well as one of our grand illusions. So watch for us if you’re local!
13. Matt and Ben almost got ticketed for hanging up flyers tonight . . . hehehehe. A cop saw them putting them up and said they were hanging them against the ordinance, but he was just going to give them a warning. Check out our blog, Ben said he was gonna post about it.

I'm Lindsey, and thanks so much for stopping by Suspension of Disbelief.
Hope things slow down for you…just finished my list! By the way, one of the many random annoyances was losing my html code, including the thursday 13 blogroll code…how do I go about getting it back? I have not participated every week, but do most weeks…
Wow no wonder you have no time to update your blog, very busy time for you by the sounds of it
My TT list
You are busy, busy! have a great weekend in Charleston. Your idea about recipes is fab! My 13 are up!
I’m an early Thursday Thirteener too tonight!
#10 is so exciting! Good luck!
As for #8 , I totally got you covered. I just discovered THE easiest yummiest recipe. It takes about 10 mins. to prep and you serve it with tortilla chips. What could be better, really?
Here goes:
Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili
1 onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can chili beans (S&W Santa Fe if you got em)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1/2 c. frozen corn
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 c. fresh chopped tomatoes (or canned)
1 c. pico de gallo (preferred)
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)
crushed tortilla chips (optional)
My 4 year old, my 44 year old and all my neighbors absolutely loved this. Let me know what you think! And if you have any lazy recipes of your own, share please!:)
BTW, here’s my TT link:

OMG, it must be late. I’m normally not such a moron.
Here’s the rest of the recipe:
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 5 hours.
Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be handled. Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.
WTG on the show! Great list! Happy TT!

Yes, you are very busy, and you love it that way; it makes you feel energized when you’re down to the wire, right? Thanks for visiting my TT.
Good luck with the audition! Wish I lived close enough to see a show. I haven’t been to one in a long time.

You have got to take a break from all the schoolwork, I know I have too! Darn, school’s been too demanding lately.
