I posted a Facebook status yesterday asking my friends if I should start blogging again. So far the response seems pretty positive. I've enjoyed blogging in the past and I think I should keep up with it more. So- I sat down at my computer and opened ScribeFire (the program I use to blog) and I found a blog entry that I'd typed back in January. I'm not sure why I never posted it. It's not terrible- just a little random. Here it is:

"I Love These Spoons"
I'm back in Cincinnati Ohio after 3 months of working out of town. I'm happy to be back here-- though the apartment seems empty without Tim (who's visiting family and friends in Massachusetts.) We spent some time at my parents house in Tennessee last week. I was there for a total of one week- just the right amount of time for me to get cabin fever and want to be in my own apartment again. It's weird sleeping in your childhood bedroom on an air mattress.
A few minutes ago I was unpacking some groceries left over from tour and I saw that Mom had packed some homemade chili in with them. The sight of it made me smile. I popped it into the microwave to heat it up. It took me a second to remember which drawer in which to find a spoon but as soon as I picked it up the tactile memory was perfect. I love these spoons. They have a great weight to them. Nice and solid but not too heavy. These are our spoons. :) I like being home.
Of course "home" is relative. Soon Tim and I are moving to THE city. I can't wait to call New York my new home! More on that soon. :)
"More on that soon"?? Not exactly, right? I'm not sure why I abandoned my blog. I guess I got caught up in the move-- which was EPIC by the way. And then I've spent the last couple of months getting acclimated in our new home. New York City is amazing. It's kind of everything at once. It can be absolutely inspiring to walk thru the theatre district and see how much is happening here. I love that I can go see shows like The Adamms Family in previews and see something that none of my friends have had the chance to yet-- a new Broadway musical that hasn't even opened yet! At the same time it can be frustrating as it's a difficult theatre community to really break into. I'm doing my best, however. I'm working Off-Off Broadway right now on a production of The Crucible. It's going quiet well actually. And I'm sending out my resume constantly for the next gig.
The other thing about New York City that I love is the food! It seems like everything I eat here is AMAZING! From the cheap diners & corner delis to the kitchy burger joints and authentic ethnic places it's all DELICIOUS. And it's all available at any time-- and for delivery. Thank god I'm poor-- otherwise I'd be gaining a lot of weight here.
I guess that's all I have to say for now. I need to go call half hour.
