SUPER STRESSED..now available in your cereal boxes and Happy Meals.

Warning: Self-Indulgent Whining Ahead.

I am definately excited that so much is going on right now as far as comedy and performing. But at the same time I have pretty bad nerves (thanks Dad) and my stress levels are on the rise. I know it is July 7th, but I kinda can't wait for August.

The Fringe is less than two weeks away and I'm so nervous. I feel like I haven't been an 'actor' in an extremely long time. I hope I can pull it off. I really like my character and I like how she has evolved into something completely different. My Mom caught me sitting like a dude yesterday, legs wide apart so I have room for 'my junk' and I couldn't help but laugh. Josie's presence is sneaking into my 'everyday' lately and I think that is a good sign.

I really like the play and I want us all to feel really ready for opening night (Friday, July 18). With such a great venue and a super solid cast - we have great potential. I think I'm more excited than nervous - but the combination equals very little sleep lately.
Mom isn't sick of running lines yet, thankfully.

Wednesday Night is the Semi-Finals at Rumors. I'm freaked out cause I wasn't expecting to make it to another round. I'm going to practice around play rehearsal and my heart is definately in my performance - knowing I have people there who believe in me means so much. Helps me remember to breathe.

Twice a week I am meeting my improv troupe to rehearse and plan out our production ideas. I really like this group of guys on many levels outside of performance - which is awesome. I love their work and I am honoured to be asked to be a part of it. I am excited for whatever may come out of this project.

Going to a Cabin with friends in Gimli this weekend was amazing. It felt great to be disconnected from the world. No cell phone service, no facebook. Just sunshine, suduko, swimming, cold beers and good conversation. Coming back is difficult. Everything is waiting for you when you return.

Okay enough complaining about mundane shit...I'm sure there is something I should be working on.
