Enjoying the job

This weekend was one more reminder of how much I've let the craziness that has become my life become my life.  I finally sat back and enjoyed the day with my best friend Cassandra and her family.  In the meantime, I realized how much I miss Jersey, all of my friends (yes, even the ones here in DC, VA, and MD that I never get to see!), and enjoying singing! 

I'm so busy getting ready for the opera and auditions (say a prayer - I have a big one this Friday), that I've had to be a bit of a hermit, and I have no time to catch up on friendships, even from email!  Singing's been even a difficult task nowadays, with half of my little opera world trying to convert me to a soprano. 

For a brief moment last week, I got to hang out with Gabe, Carl, Paul, and Cassandra, and it reminded me why I'm alive.  I just hope that in this quest for the career I've always wanted, I find the time and voice to sit and talk with the people who make my life worth living.  To all of my friends and family who I don't tell nearly often enough - I love you guys.
