I wonder when schools start back? I’ll have to remember to ask Mom. It feels so strange after teaching for three years to not be going back to school after the holidays. I usually love school this time of year. The kids are refreshed and excited to be back. The promise of spring is just around the corner. The schoolyear is halfway done, and work on the end of the year musicals can begin. Last year at this time, we were just starting auditions for “Annie Jr”, and I was so excited. It turned out amazing in the end, and…

Happy New Year everyone! I can’t believe we’re almost through the first decade of the new milennium. Just thinking about how much our world has changed since 1999 is mind blowing, and it’s hard to imagine what it will be like in the year 2108. I’ll be gone for sure, but maybe my grandchildren will be there, hopefully living in a better world and not a worse one. There’s just always so much to reflect on this time of year. G and I sat up for a bit last night talking about past New Year’s and plans for next year,…

I am not sure who started the tradition of setting a resolution at the beginning of each new year, but I honestly love it. I think there are a lot of people out there who are starting to really frown at NYR’s because year after year, most people set the same goals, like “This year I want to lose 50 lbs.” or “This year I am going to quit smoking” January usually starts out great. You join weight watchers or go to the gym everyday. You throw out your cigarettes and promise never to buy another pack. But then life…

Sex and the City, The MOVIE?? Me Likey! Well, mostly me likey! I finally saw the trailor for the new movie, and I had to share. Now, it may just be getting a lot of hype at the moment, but this is a subject near and dear to my heart. Scoff if you must, but there never has been and never will be another show like SATC. I started watching the show during the second season when we were flipping through channels one night and stopped on a show where this woman was talking about how her diaphragm was stuck…

Yesterday, the next two Brava finalists were announced, and man, let me tell ya. They are hot. Make sure to check them out at http://www.bravaauthors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=162&start=7&sid=79c80d5dbfb542af9a84d394d104a8a4 The first entry was “Losing It” by Dawn Munroe. It definitely has a candid flavor to me and reads with a voice that sounds very true to today. I thought it was a touch wordy at the beginning, which I recognize only because I know that is something I do as well. It is truly an art form to be able to use the least amount of words to get your point across. But I…

Look at what G got me for Christmas!!! We exchanged gifts early because we are heading to my parent’s house for Christmas and wanted to have some time for just the two of us to open gifts. I love this necklace!!! I know that it is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I want to wear it everyday! Thank you my sweet man, I love you with all of my heart! 🙂
