A Year in Review

Top 10 things that happened to me (good and not so good) since I last posted in May of 08...
(In chronological order)

1. My lovely, dear, wonderful grandmother passed away at 91 years old. She was at home here in my mother's house, which is also our office. Her death was extremely hard to watch, but its now comforting to know that she is with her children whom she missed so much and her brothers and sisters and the love of her life whom she wasn't allowed to marry because she wasn't Jewish (he had one of THOSE moms...), Louis. RIP Gaga!

2. Went to Greece for 10 days with Despina. Naked in a mud bath. Swimming in the Aegean. Propeller Plane. Not being able to speak a lick of Greek and getting in heaps and heaps of trouble because of it. Understanding my best friend's family so much better! :)

3. A ridiculous trip to Vegas. And by ridiculous I mean a waste of time, money and brain cells. Wait...all my trips to Vegas good and bad have been that way.

4 and 5. TWO road trips to Disney World. With 2 very spoiled and wonderful children. Polynesian Resort. GO THERE. NOW!

6. A repeat of the role of "Fraulein Schneider" in 'Cabaret' where I met many wonderful people and we sold out all the shows and had to add more. SUCCESS!

7. A very hard third grade year for Jack. He is proving to be very sensitive but also very kind and courageous. I like that.

8. Sofia, at 4 years old, cut all of her hair off in January. It has yet to grow back. I found out she has a 120 IQ. She still cut her hair off.

9. "Hello, Dolly". Played the part again after 12 years. The costumes still fit. Probably not a good thing. A good reception. Horrific set, built well, designed poorly. Sad. got to finally dance with Terry on stage while NOT wearing a leotard a la A Chorus Line.

10. Was cast as Julie In "Miss Julie"- a turning point in my acting career for sure. Oh the things I learned I had inside of me...still trying to either push them back down and ignore them or cough all remnants of them up so I can get on with my life!


OK....now I can continue to write about the ridiculous things that happen to me. It's sad that a year of my life can be summed up in so few words. I hope my obituary is longer. And covered in fucking glitter.
