It has literally been years since my last post.

Sheesh.

A great deal has happened in that space of time. Only a few days after my last post my high school sweetheart and I eloped, on New Years Day 2007 and we have been most happily married since. 2 years of marriage, but with 12 years together under our belt! Holy Mackerel.

Lets see. Since the end of the tour I have completed my BFA in Musical Theatre- which I accomplished by taking all my required classes ONLINE- quite an experience, let me tell you. I WISH I had had the presence of mind to blog about THAT! And right from completion of that degree I rolled right into Graduate School!

I now attend Emerson College in Boston, studying to be a Master of Theatre Education! This fall I'll be student teaching and then thrust into the job market after two years of persistently avoiding it!

I sure do seem to have a fondness for exclamation points, don't I?

Life had been very good, very fun, very challenging and pretty damn full. Pleanty of ups and downs, but I have a knack for remembering mostly the 'ups' and blocking out the 'downs'- I think this is the Irish in me-- it drives my husband a bit bananas when we have an argument and he insists we've had the argument before and I just can't seem to recall such a thing!

Anyway, just wanted to get all the exposition out of the way so I can start fresh with this blog. The goal is to write a little every day- and I DO mean a little, just to keep in practice-- a friend's blog is like that and it serves him well, so I'm going to take a crack at it.

The nice thing about this is this: I don't think anyone's watching anymore, so for a little while at least, I'm going to feel like a kid playing pretend-- uninhibited and free to do as I please. I will probably also dress up in funny hats and curtains whilst I do it.

So there it is. A way to process the happenings of everyday life instead of abandoning them forever to the ether-- capturing a little bit of ephemera and translating it into the blogosphere.

Fun!

Right now I have to get ready for class. I'm taking a one-week intensive on Teaching Shakespeare! Today we'll be practicing our teaching skill and learning from the Master (Maureen Shea) while we take turns exploring and performing our monologues. GULP!
