It has been a while since I posted, so I thought I would update you all.
The reason I have not been posting was because I had some hurt feelings over something that really isn't important anymore. I won't say what it is that hurt my feelings, because I am better now, and back on track. I am sorry to anybody and everybody that I may have offended in my upsettedness. (Is that even a word?)

Life here has been really great. It is that time of year, that everything seems to come together for me. I have been planning our trip to Maui, and working a lot.
Also, Every year a this time, I am involved in a variety show for local charities. It is a riot! I am such the little ham. It is funny that somebody who struggles so much with depression, can get on stage a perform like there is not a care in the world. I love acting, singing and dancing...even though I am not very good, I have a lot of fun. I try to get into all the comedy stuff because by nature I am a comedian. I guess it all comes from my need to make others happy, but in this instance it works.
I have practise every night, and tonight we learned a really hard number. (alright we haven't learned it quite yet, but it should come to gether). We only have two full weeks to practise, and then a week of dress rehearsals and tech stuff. The show is the 5th, 6th, and 7th, and let me tell you by then I should be totally exhausted. I have been doing this sinse the spring of 2000, missing three years because of scheduling problems. The first time I missed was because I had just had my appendix out, and the second was because I had a hysterectomy in January, and was having a lot of problems hormonally come practise time. Lets just say they didn't have me on the right meds, and crying became a new sport for me. I was the champ. The other time I missed was two years ago when I decided to go to N.Y. instead.
Last year, I unexpectedly stold the show. I was suppose to be just an extra in between the acts, posing as an accident prone camera person, not saying or doing anything in any of the numbers. What can I say, my antics and facial expressions had the entire audiance in stitches. Can you all tell that I am pretty proud of this.
Who would have thought, that way back then, when the lady where I worked dared me to go out for the show, would have led to all this? I wish she could see me now. She honestly did not think I could get on stage and perform, but little did she know, that is the life I live for. LOL
