It’s time to share my BIG project that is finally going down THIS WEEK and the hell it all happened. You’ve expected it for a while but the time has finally come! Here’s the scoop… Continue reading →

NYC Bucket List

I’ve lived in New Jersey my entire life. Yes, there have been stints on cruise ships, sublets in Manhattan, sit downs in faraway lands of Ohio, Florida, etc, and then all the glamorous tour destinations from Texas to Oklahoma to Arkansas to Pennsylvania. I’ve been all over the place. I liked it that way when I was younger. What stories I have about some of my dwelling spaces: tiles falling from the ceiling, food stealing, cockroaches aka water bugs, you name it! I will always call New Jersey home even if I’m considering leaving it someday. I do love it here. With the suburban atmosphere on this side of the river and the hustle and bustle on the other side as my backyard, I really get the best of both worlds.

Hello to my beloved neglected readers! I so appreciate you reading my last CRAZY blog. I still kind of can’t believe the ordeal I went through… FUN FUN. Anyway, I just thought I would post a quick update! Continue reading →

It’s funny that I’ve been blog-sent for about a month now. I haven’t had anything interesting to write about. As a matter of fact, I started a draft last week called “If you don’t have anything nice to say…” about how I didn’t want to bitch and moan in a blog post so I was keeping it buttoned for a hot sec. LOL. I now find it supremely ironic. After last weekend, I have plenty of not nice things to say and I’m not holding them back. I think I’m a bit justified though! I hope all my posts for the rest of the month are shiny and sparkly!

Enjoy the In-Between

I think we can all agree that this winter has been a rough one in the Northeast. I myself have become a hermit alongside my husband. Our heated mattress pad has been our best friend. I haven’t written this blog for weeks; I have spring fever like whoa. Hubs and I have really been trying to distract ourselves from all of our goals that we’re “waiting” on, the things we have no control over and have to be patient about. We’ve been having tons of fun distracting ourselves though with vacations, dinners out, and binge watching on Netflix. Most days I dare not think about the big things we have cooking for our life together because if I do, I’m sure they will all end in the same kind of sobby mess that occurred just a few weeks back. The aftermath? I just can’t stop myself from embracing my Type A personality and starting to plan. But I’m way ahead of myself. It all began with my other husband….

I was originally going to write a fabulous blog about aging in theatre and into your dream roles. Don’t worry because that blog is coming. Really exciting stuff if I do say so myself. But then I got to work. And I started talking to people. And all the people were assholes. Continue reading →

Tiny Humans

I got married less than two years ago. I’m in my very early 30s. I don’t love my job, but I do it well and it pays the bills. I’m a kick ass singer. I marry people. I have ten billion dreams for my life that I’m trying to make come true right now. I’m trying to stay focused. Eye on the prize! But you know what everyone asks me about? The tiny humans.

What on this earth could I be talking about? There are so many ways that this post can go. As a younger woman, I could bring up the days of trick or treating with friends, the days of high school or college silliness, or even a sarcastic play on the days before Hubs was in my life.

NOPE. Today I’m talking about what I know, and what I know is musical theatre. Or at least what I thought I knew… Continue reading →
