Well…it seems that while I have plenty to blog about, I have not been blogging!   So – in all the news that is news…

2011 has been pretty darn rad.  I told myself and told myself that 2010 would be my year, and boy – was I WRONG.  But here it is – nearly the end of 2011, and I am finding that my life -since I left it alone – has been better than I could have imagined.

I am happily working at The Barter Theatre in Abingdon, VA where I get to indulge in my love for small-town-life as well as my need for culture and creativity (and bargain shopping – there’s a TJ Maxx and a Ross within 10 miles…) all at once.  I have been doing my rewarding job here while continuing to collaborate with my MAS Nashville gals (read the latest MAS Blog entry HERE), and we have a fun-tastic show coming up right after Christmas that I am currently working hard on and getting super-excited for.  I am also ending sentences with prepositions without regret.  :)

I am writing a (currently very bad) play using/inspired by the music of Tammy Wynette – my first real foray into playwrighting – which I know will be, if nothing else, a great learning experience.  I am working on various musical projects and loving them all.   I am making plans for things I want to accomplish.  And furthermore…I don’t care what happens next.  Dear control, begone.  Life is better when you don’t plan what’s coming and you just do, do, DO.   Thanks universe/god/God/whatever you want to call it – for knowing what I need better than I.  My friends are glorious, my work is fantastic, my world is good.
