Hey

Just a little post to check in and let you know that I'm still alive and kicking.

For Rodger: yes, the trip to NYC was about the concert at Carnegie Hall, and it was magnificent.  The Hall itself is absolutely stunning and the acoustics are amazing.  We had a center balcony box for Mom and myself and my brother and his wife and friends of theirs.  It was also interesting to hear from the band's manager about working behind the scenes with the Carnegie Hall people.  Not as easy as one might think, but I won't comment on their experiences with them...

I've not posted in a while because school and directing the HS musical "She Loves Me" has been taking up much of my time, and well as the new college position I'm undertaking.  These college kids are a riot!  And not only are they coming to me with some talent to work with, they are loving the music I have picked out for them, and are attacking it with great gusto!  It's becoming a highlight of my week!

Other than that, things are just busy and I'm trying very dilligently to find some semblence of balance, which is always difficult for me even when I'm not as busy as I am at the moment.  I'm also trying a little bit to have a social life, and have met a couple of guys that I've had dinner with - which is really all I'm looking for at the moment.  After one of them called me (after two dinners, which is all I thought was going on) to exclaim "I just can't be your boyfriend!  I can't, I can't, I can't!!!!", I'm thinking:

A.) Maybe I'm going about this all wrong,
B.) Maybe I'm giving the wrong impression, or
C.) The issues here aren't mine... 

After a little phone conversation, the answer to THAT one is C.  Oy...  I'll still  go about trying to meet people and see where it goes...

So that's it for now.  Just trying to keep my head above water and trying to figure out what's next.  I'm feeling pretty burned out by it all, and thinking maybe it's time to move on to something new.  Although I haven't a CLUE as to what that might be...

Have a great day.

Glad to hear you're still alive! I hope you get things settled and figure out what it is you want to be doing- sometimes that restless spirit feeling is a little unnerving, isn't it? I like to rearrange my furniture to deal with it. Or start a gazillion new knitting projects.

Hey, sweetie! Glad to see you out and about - both here in cyberspace and in a real social life! I know I commented about the trip to NYC but it still sounded fabulous!

Glad you are having fun with the college kids! And, the new position...good for you!

take care...hugs to Lizzie...and you, of course!

It is so good to see you post. Yes, your life does sound very busy right now. I'm glad though you took a sec to keep us updated.

Hugs to you and Lizzie honey!!!!!

Yep, definitely issues that aren't yours! So glad you're enjoying the college kids. Our college choir is about to start up again (new school year) and I'm going to crash the choir and join :)

I accidentally lost my comment. I was going to say it sounds like you are keeping busy in a good way. As for men, I remember a guy (a known heartbreaker) I had a light summer fling with.

He'd look darkly into my eyes and say knowingly, "Uh-oh, I can see you're falling in love with me." "No, I'm not." "Oh, yes you are. And I'm just going to end up breaking your heart because I can't be tied down." "No worries."

After I dumped him, he started stalking me.

What is it with men?

Sounds to me like you dodged a bullet with that guy. You're sane, charming, balanced and deeelightful. He's a loon.

So let's hear more about that new college position. (I'm seeing Kama sutra poses.)

If he "just can't be your boyfriend - he can't he can't he can't" - he's a jerk of the first order and we must have him decapitated at first opportunity.

Glad to hear that you are still out there and treading water. Sorry about the strange man. I'm not quite sure what I would do if I were single again. Never was good at the meeting people thing.

Are you planning on looking around, job wise, again this summer?

It IS hard to juggle it all, isn't it? Sounds like you're enjoying most of it, except for dating the occasional nutcase! Yikes! But better to find out after two dates rather than two months or two years. Hope you'll post pics of your show when it's done.
