Hello Readers (if anyone is still reading this.)

Life has definitely changed since I last posted in this a year ago. First of all, I can't believe it's been a year since I decided to tell anyone on here what's going on in the exciting world of acting for me. Second of all, I found myself often wanting to come and type up a new post, but would always be thwarted by something - rehearsals, meetings, sleep. However, I also realize that if something is important to me, I should make the time to do it. And as often as I have tried to keep a journal (and failed at doing so) I still feel a drive to make this blog thing work. Whether that be just to get my thoughts out, or to possible inspire someone or help them through a similar situation, or just to build my "Internet career presence."

So...

I'm not going to fill you in on it all, most know what's going on, but I will give you a nicely packaged synopsis that hopefully I can expand on in further posts. Currently, I am sailing on the Pride of America with Norwegian Cruise Lines as a Principal Performer. I've been here since August and have been extended to the end of March. We do two shows, one a revue of the Hollywood movie musical, the other a Glee-like Beach Blanket Bingo to the updated music of Elvis. Both are fun in their own rights. I also do a jazz cabaret in one of their main dining rooms with my lovely ship wife, Liz. I also get to act a fool as a Spanish-Italian American show choir pageant coach in the ship's version of Dancing With the Stars. This gig has had it's ups and downs, a lot of new things to get used to, but overall I must say that it's worth the learning experience, as well as getting to see beautiful Hawaii.

Once I get back to O-town, I will be (presumably) going back to Nickelodeon Resort and Universal Studios. The big news is that my hunny and I - oh, my Hunny, that's right, you all don't know. I have a boyfriend, for a year and a half now, and he's wonderful. So there. Anyway, my hunny and I will be doing a show I wrote with a great friend of mine, Loren, a while back at the Orlando Fringe Festival! So very excited since at first we didn't get picked in the Lotto and were wait-listed. Wonderful things waiting back home then.

That's where I'll stop for today, a little bit of professional with a sprinkle of personal. Thank you to all those who have been reading and I hope we can pick up where we left off. No question this time - just regurgitation. ;)

Happy New Year.
