Alright, you guys...

You're bumming me out here. All 10 of you followers. Can I get a little comment love every now and then? Am I talking to myself?

Okay, probably yes...

So yeah, just like any normal person, I need a little blurb to share some exciting news: I have been given my DREAM ROLE with the Actor's Charitable Theatre here in Tuscaloosa. I will be playing the role of Mrs. Lovett, cannibal baker extrodinare! I'm pretty sure I spelled that last word wrong, but apparently it's not a real word to spellcheck. Go figure.

And I get to do this show with some of the most amazing people. One of my BFFs, Zacc Kimbrell will be my sweet Toby, and I get the opportunity, the GREAT honor, of sharing the stage with Doff Procter, who will be Sweeney Todd. Google him. He's AMAZING.

Words can never describe how nervous I am for this show. There's so much to learn, and it's difficult, too. Not to mention the fact that I need to be the character everyone knows Mrs. Lovett is. This is huge. I have to do Angela Lansbury, Helena Bonham Carter and Patty LuPone justice. Those are three pretty EPIC women who played this role. That's A LOT to follow. BIG shoes to fill.

Suuuuure, it's just in our little bubble of Tuscaloosa, but it's still IMPORTANT TO ME.

-deep breath-

So... Work has gotten a lot better lately. My hours have been up this week, and while I DESPERATELY don't want to, I'm working all weekend. But I did it to myself. I offered to take it. It's money in the bank, it's money in the bank, it's money in the baaaaaank... And hopefully all of the students will be gone since it's a long weekend.

My sweet Jasper is sleeping so soundly. Precious kitty... He's gotten into the routine of wanting to cuddle at least an hour or so before I'm supposed to get up. Which is really infuriating at the time, but it's so freaking sweet when you think about it. He does love his mommy...most days.

Okay, so I didn't have really anything interesting to say this time, so I won't be THAT upset if I don't get any comments on my lonely blog.

LOVE.
