Winter's on the Wing

Hi kids,

Sorry to leave you hanging for a while, but I have returned to Toronto and the blogosphere after a visit home with the family in South Carolina. My dear sister tied the knot last weekend, and I went home to join in on the festivities. Though the cold and snow had set in before I left, I must say returning from 60-degree, sunny South Carolina to the great white north is a bit of shock, and suddenly the cold hits me harder now than I remember. I also quite enjoyed overloading on bad cable TV, but I'm excited to get back into my routine and make use of my brain cells again...

I spent the week before the wedding helping my sister get all of her details into place, which turned out to be a lot of work. We visited the mall, Panera bread and the craft store more times in one week than I have in my life. Luckily I was well compensated with food and the title of Maid of Honor, with my sister  the Matron of Honor. All in all was beautiful and oh-so-much fun. I As always I enjoyed reconnecting with the extended family. I love Toronto but I hate leaving everyone.

My first day back was all business: laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, and preparing for the arrival of my dear friend Rebecca, whom I met working at Jacob's Pillow. She just moved to Toronto and I foresee many fun times ahead. Also, I got a library card! I'm feeling more Canadian everyday. This is tre exciting.

Anywho, I start work again the theatre Tuesday, where I will don a tuxedo every night and watch The Secret Garden 48 times...let me tell you how excited I am about that. My schedule now will be six weeks working shows and four weeks off between, so I am on the hunt for another job as I strive to make ends meet and to be more productive throughout the day. Even this involves getting up before the ungodly hour of noon.

Lots of exciting things happening in 2011, eh? I hope you'll continue to follow me along ;)
