The annual update (2010 edition).

So. Its been over a year since I last posted to this Blog. So much for trying to be better and post more frequently. Ah well. Life Happens.

In the time that has passed, I have toured with The Wizard of Oz for 9 months, Dreamgirls for 2 months, Opened 3 shows on Broadway in 2 weeks and and wrapping up 2 months on A Chorus Line. In a week and a half I will head back to Wizard for another 4 months and I couldn't be happier.

As the years on the road add up and the grey hairs on my head multiply, I am beginning to truly understand the importance of friendships and connections in the world. I have some pretty amazing friends in my life... spread across this country (and world), and I know how lucky I am. And my family is the Best. Just The Best.. But to have a group of friends a la Sex and the City, people who know you sometimes better than you know yourself. I miss that.

I have recently started thinking much more seriously about the future. I think part of growing up and getting older has finally caught up with me. Either that, or I have been watching far too much HGTV in my hotel on the road. I find myself wondering what it would be like to be completely debt free and be able to start thinking about a down payment on my own place. No more wasting money on Rent. I always thought I would never own a home, but as I get older and start thinking about settling down in one place, the thought has crept its way in.

What would it be like to be in one place for a while and be able to actually date? Not fall in love or anything, at least that isn't the goal, but I miss going out on dates. Going to dinner. The movies. Window shopping. Whatever it may be. Life on the road is not very conducive to dating. Especially on a show like this. I am in a town for less than 24 hours sometimes, not easy to meet cute that quickly. Also, dating other tour folk is a little too much Shit-Where-You-Eat for my liking. The few times I have let myself get involved with anyone on the road it hasn't ended well.

Ahhhh well. Just some of the things ratting around in my head, felt the need to write them down. Now...Back to work.
