Im tired.

I just cant make everyone happy. There is SO much expected from me on so many levels and Im only human. I am only able to do so much.

Im a person who hates to tell people no. I try and make everyone happy and do what I can but you know what I am doing things for me right now.

I have no time in my life to do or get done all the things I need.  Time management is something I work on all the time.  Im doing the best I can.

People expect me to be the Erin I am on the radio. I try. I really do but I dont always feel like smiling and talking and laughing. Not all the time. AND GOD FORBID when I dont, people get upset...

To all my friends, if I have let you down by not doing something for you or with you..I apologize. Im pulled in so many directions I cant make everyone happy. Im sorry and Im doing the best I can.

But Im tired...very tired.

my new obsession
Current mood: energetic

Let me preface this by saying that I read the most girly books around. Confessions of a Shopoholic series, anything by Emily Giffin and Jen Lancaster I mean the girlier the better....

BUT...

Cindy (a gal I work with) gave me a book I never thought I would read called Dark Lover by JR Ward...Never in a million years did I think I would like it or even make an attempt to...

OMG...Im obsessed.

It's a series of books about "The Black Dagger Brotherhood" and each book is about a different brother.. Vampires....( I know right, but trust me)they are set in modern times. They drive hummers and escalades and listen to rap..It's sooooooooo amazing...SERIOUSLY.

They are Fabulous. I cant put them down! I just ordered the rest on Amazon this morning. Seriously.

JR WARD...Start with "Dark Lover"  and then please tell me what you think!!!! Im addicted!!

Check out her myspace...

It’s Over and Thank You..
Current mood: nostalgic

It's hard to believe it is over. A Chorus Line was the best experience of my life. Never have I felt so close to a cast and crew.  After spending almost (truly) almost every single day together for over three months it is hard to imagine NOT seeing everyone on a regular basis.  This cast was SO close. I have never been involved in a production where everyone got so close. I made seventeen close friends and yes I consider each one of you a close friend. We worked SO hard and it was worth it.  I love each and every one of you.

AND...

Thanks so much to everyone who came to support me in the show. You dont know how much it meant to me...to all of us. 

Thank you also for everyone who put up with my grouchiness and extremely high stress level. 

A Chorus Line was a surreal experience for me and I dont know if I will ever feel this way again about a cast and a show. Im thankful for the moment and the opportunity.

It's always sad when a show ends but this one is extremely heartbreaking....But in the theatre thats life...You put on a fantastic production and move on to the next...Thats what we do.

LOVE AND THANKS AGAIN to everyone.

Marilyn always gets it right

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let them go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

I made it!
Current mood: blessed

I am so overwhelmed right now and for once it is in a good way!  As many of you know, I have had a rough couple of months. It has been a difficult time for me emotionally.  I felt like if it could go wrong it would and most of the time, it did!  

Over the last few weeks I have been working so hard preparing for the audition for "A Chorus Line." with the Charleston Light Opera Guild. After four audition days total for me and several days of anticipation I found out I got the role of VAL.

It's a dream come true for me as silly as that may sound.  Val is a girl who always dreamed of being a Rockette (my same dream) she sings the song, Dance Ten Looks Three (you can see it in my youtube video haha )  ANYWAY it is a part I have dreamed of playing and Im so thankful for the opportunity.

This is going to be a great cast. I already know, love and adore half of the people in the show! It is amazing to have an opportunity to work with such amazing talent.  I am so proud of you all and so excited to get to work.  It's not going to be easy, I know that. We will be sore more often than not!! Our voices are going to be drained as much as our body! But when that curtain opens for the first time...It will be worth it all.

I have to say that just when you think things are never going to look up, God has a way of kicking you back to reality. Faith can get you through a whole lot. I believe that more than one can imagine. My angels have been working overtime for me for sure and I couldnt be more grateful. 

I've learned I have a whole lot to be thankful for. The last two weeks have been fabulous.  I look forward to each and every day and you should too.

FINALLY, I have to share this because this says it all...

A Chorus Line is a tribute to ANYONE who has TAKEN A CHANCE, who has put themself on the line for

-Appreciation

-Admiration

-Attention

-Approval

or -Love
