In case you were worried

Sims 3 is now loading on to my beloved MacBook. Sometimes, you just can't beat living in New York!

While I am waiting, there is a commercial on about free root beer float night at Sonic on June 3 from 8pm to midnight. There are also times where you can't beat living in the South! All my Texas friends, take advantage, and have one for me too please!!

Oh Wait, I have to Unpack this Pecan Pie from my Suitcase First

Oh la readers. It's my first Christmas to be celebrated with my family in two years, and I am so excited. This evening found me returning from work to my mom waiting in my apartment with apple cider, wine, cheese, and cookies. Is there anything better?

Oh yes: you may have heard about this. Keep your fingers crossed that your favorite ACM on the great Off-Broadway scene will soon be making a leap to the Brooks Atkinson theatre with her favorite 80s musical. It's worth saying that ALL THREE of my Off-Broadway CM jobs will be eligible for Tony Awards this year. I'm requiring a golden pony on my new Broadway deal.

I finally headed to the doctor this morning for this ridiculous cough that has been plaguing me for the last umpteen weeks. What promted this visit to the insanly lovely Hirschfeld Clinic (aka beautiful, wonderful doctors that treat my broke, uninsured self for free)? I finally had a coughing fit so awful the other morning that I pulled all of the muscles in my lower back. Ugh. Thankfully, the doctor said that would start feeling better once I stopped coughing. Thanks doc. I'm now on a cocktail of Sudafed, Claritin, Benedryl, and Advil. Oh, and wine. All seem to be helping. Let's hope that insane dose of antihistimines knocks this thing out for once and for all.

Did I mention I can't believe it's already 2 days before Christmas? I apologize to all family and friends for the fact that I haven't realized that. Especially to my 6 year-old goddaughter Kate, who's gift will be late. Thankfully, I haven't set the bar on timeliness very high, so I doubt she's expecting any less.

I think the Benedryl is kicking in, so I'm going to wrap up this entry. Stay warm everyone. It's chilly out there!

Ok, you caught me

Yes, that's right, I didn't just type that last entry today.  I wrote it about 2 weeks ago, and just never posted it.   I get a little bit of blog entry posting anxiety thinking it won't be good enough.  Time to slay those vampires and get back into the groove, as many things have happened since my last (real) posting from Houston.

#1  Yes, the rumors are true.  I totally quit my job last week.  After many agonizing hours of conversations (not for me, but the people who had to listen to me), it became clear to me that touring in the UK just wasn't a great fit for me.  Additionally, it was causing me to stray pretty far from the flashy, sparkly, song and dance musicals I want to be working on.  So, that's that story.  I'm amazed at all the time I have now.  Not just during the day, but evenings and weekends free?  It's like a dream!  So many, many, many thanks to the people who helped me through that entire process and for putting up with my need to talk through every single scenario that might play out.  

#2  I bought a new computer!  omg.  It's so cute.  I'm completely in love with it.  And...it's a Mac.  Yes, I surely went into the Apple store, and was like, "um, I want one because all my friends have one!"  Thankfully, my sister was with me, so she had many more intelligent questions, while I was like, "ooooh! pretty!"  So anyway, "Mac" my new MacBook Pro has been keeping me very happy with all my new found free time.  And, yes, it's very shiny and new!

#3  [title of show] is going to Broadway!  Though this doesn't really have much to do with me, I am so very happy for them, and I can't wait to see the gang again on the big Broadway stage.  Not that I'd mind being their assistant company manager.  Anyone??

That might be enough for the list of things going on with me.  I'm currently meeting with any company manager who will see me in the hopes of getting something going soon.  So, think good thoughts about that.  

Besides that, I'm just loving relaxing a little bit and getting reacquainted with TiVo.  I saw Sunday in the Park with George and Cry-Baby since I've been back.  I'm still hoping to see Curtains before it closes, and am I the only person on the planet who hasn't seen Spring Awakening yet?  It might be true, and after watching the B-roll on loop for two weeks while I would walk through the lobby of the Hobby Center, I must say I'm intrigued.

Must go get my laundry, then I have to run into the office for a few minutes to print the Amex check and make a phone call or two.  Hope you're all enjoying this lovely weather we're having today!
