emotionally exhausted

i will not lie. i had scheduled to post this LAST monday and just never did it.

i spent 7 days cruising the caribbean with the family and the folks at carnival cruises and was able to read part of moss hart's autobiography and another book about successfully building theatre companies during that time. each book was inspiring and frightening at the same time. i just have to remember to not doubt myself. failure is an ugly word that i refuse to associate with.

in talking with many people over these last few weeks, the need for a name of this production company has been moved to the top of my list. i would like to have something picked out by the last day of february.

i had the fortune of meeting the musical director for the broadway across america production of dreamgirls. i got to spend a few days with him, hearing about his fab nyc lifestyle/connections and listening to projects and music he's been working on. i also got to see dreamgirls which i enjoyed much more than i thought i would. congrats to sam and the cast!

i've started my class for winter quarter. a masters in mgmt for non-profit agencies is a short 21 months away (which is also when i am planning on opening these shenanigans. (that's september of 2011 for those of you who do not enjoy math.))

i am debating whether or not to audition for the chorus of minnesota opera again in may. mending a few old connections might not be a bad idea right now.

2010 is about 1/24 of the way done and i already have more on my plate than i know what to do with. alas, better than to sit and have nothing to do at all.
