Why is it that by the time December gets here, no matter how hard i've been working i always find myself juggling money to get by? Grrr.~w

What can i say? Tru-ra-lu-ra-lay... I've listened to far too much poetry over the last few days. That's why it all begins to rhyme and keep a beat in time. Soon the rehearsals will be done and a Madrigal Feast begun where suitors will vie for a princess who must choose one. Okay, maybe i'm stretching now. I'd better stop this somehow.~w

The snow hasn't melted yet, it's pretty, but treacherous. We have three shows done and one to go and the team that needs to be off book for next week is nearly there. Still, it looks like i'll need to go out with them for workshop training in the middle of the week. Oh well, you can't win them all. I get to go back to my favorite state too...West Virginia (where actors get left at the side of the road, cars run out of gas on the highway, and tires blow out on back country roads at night). C'est la vie!~w

It's snowing. That means i'm really late for rehearsal this morning. Good thing the rehearsals are going well despite my tardiness. Cross your fingers for me that i won't have to go out on the road next week.~w

Rehearsals start at 8:30am this morning. That means i'm already late. Urg! I will say that yesterday things seemed to run rather smoothly though. Wish me luck for similar success today.~w

So i ran away and came back to the never ending busy-ness that is my life. But the running away part was fun if not entirely restful. Highlights include learning to sing a new song, jamming to the blues all evening, being given new speakers for my car (installed and everything), spending a solid four days with someone and finding that i actually enjoyed that much of their company, and driving a poorly tuned U-Haul truck containing a baby grand piano and towing my car behind it about 550 miles without doing any damage to the piano, my car or anyone else. Sound crazy? Probably, but sometimes crazy is fun. Now i'm off to spend the week training new actors. I suppose that means i need to get myself together now.~w

I'm back, but busy catching up with myself. I've got errands to run before 5pm...i might have time to write after that...~w
