true love will find you in the end.

wow. it has been an insanely busy couple of weeks months.

yesterday was a little too nuts for me to do a tunes tuesday post, so i'll share my mix today. i hope you enjoy it!

true love will find you in the end from hecallsmewifey on 8tracks.

rehearsal for the play i am currently working on, Enlightenment.com, is in full swing and i am truly looking forward to the end result. it's quite a hilarious show and we've got some amazing actors. i love working on a small ensemble cast where we each carry the weight of the story and each character has their essential story to tell. i'm really hoping that a lot of my friends can make it to this play. this particular show means a lot to me and being able to share all of the hard work and long hours that will go (and has gone into it already) will truly mean the world to me. getting support from others in the pursuit of my passion, something so personal and dear to me, is huge, and i really hope we get a great turnout. this show deserves it.

having said that, please come! i know it's a little pricey for a ticket, but when you think about all of the hours and energy and blood, sweat and tears (literally) that we put forth into it (for very little pay or no pay at all), i think that's worth it. we need support to keep doing what we do. you can purchase tickets here AND get a discounted price if you go in a group! 

i'd really love to see you there.

this past weekend i attended stella & dot's annual convention, Hoopla, in San Francisco. it was pretty amazing, very encouraging, and totally motivating. i met some really cool people, made connections and learned a lot. i'm very happy that i decided to go. we also saw the new Fall Collection in person and i am telling you, it is INCREDIBLE. every piece is gorgeous and made with such intricate detail. stella & dot produces such high quality, on trend pieces at what i think are amazing price points for the quality you get. this company just continues to amaze me. i really love my job. it seriously doesn't even feel like a job.

check out this cute video of the fall collection

drought (and a fresh new look)

{image source}

it may seem as though i have fallen off the face of the earth.

or that i don't care.

or that i have given up.

or that i'm just too busy to put in the time and effort it takes to keep a blog running.

and read other blogs.

i'm going to be completely honest here.

for a while i didn't care.

i did give up (almost).

i have been extremely busy.

i haven't read any blogs. at all.

i passed up opportunities to be featured on some really great blogs.

i passed up many opportunities to write what's going on in my head and in my heart.

i literally avoided even looking at my computer.

for the past couple of months i have been busy rehearsing for the play i associate directed at VUSC and supporting the cast and crew by seeing as many performances as i could.

i have been so busy that i only just began my Christmas shopping (two down, i don't even want to think about how many more to go).

i haven't even thought about sending out Christmas cards.

i only recently decorated my house for the holidays.

i have been doing well at WW, as far as i know.

i have spent all of my free time with David (the hubs), Bogart (the kitteh) and with Lisbeth Salander (those books are crazy good).

and some time with the Bard (Shakespeare, that is).

i have been working on some monologues, doing as much as i can in a short period of time and too little hours in the day to prepare for grad school applications/auditions.

i have been thinking a lot about the play that i am going to start writing this year with the help of one of my favorite college professors, Warren "Sir" Doody (the "Sir" is an inside joke, sorry to be so elitist).

i have been asked by my mentor, head of the theatre department at VUSC, and founder of American Coast Theater Co., Sue Berkompas, to play the lead in one of ACTC's summer 2012 plays, which just so happens to be written by Sir Doody himself (i'm a lucky gal these days).

all of that to say, i've been busy. 

i've put he calls me wifey on the back burner.

i got lazy.

i hope you all can understand.

but being busy wasn't the only thing keeping me away.

i've written drafts of the reason(s) why, but never had the nerve to hit publish.

maybe this season i will.

but not today.

so to hopefully kick start my blogging again, i have refurbished the place. 

i've spruced it up a bit to help me get back into the swing of things, to cease this drought.

i needed a fresh start.

i needed a new look.

i hope you like the new look of this space.
