Weekend Things
Have you ever felt like the weekend that’s just within reach is going to be the best thing ever? That’s how I feel right now. Tomorrow morning, I’m sleeping in to catch up on the snoozing I’ve lost over the past week (hello, theater!). I’m also planning on opening the windows and letting fresh air and […]
Living History. Sort Of.
Tomorrow night, Witness will open at the Diva Theater in Scranton. And I’ll be playing this fierce fox in a hoop skirt: Witness is an original work written and directed by Caleb Matthew Williams.

Thinking, Saying, and Doing
You’ve probably read or heard about The Secret. You might practice in the law of attraction or work at manifesting positive intentions.

As I got into high school, college, and beyond, I realized that I’m just really not great at making […]

I saw a writing prompt somewhere that got me thinking about the topic of this post. We all do weird things that we probably shouldn’t do at an inappropriate time. For me, the witching hour where I can either fall asleep or fall off the deep end lies somewhere in the neighborhood of 9:00 p.m. […]
Not So Sweet Dreams
Oh no. They’ve started. The wedding nightmares. The moments of sheer panic when I wake up in a cold sweat because I’ve shown up to my own wedding and I’ve forgotten a critical piece. The other night, I had a series of (sort of) nightmares consisting of me forgetting something for the big day, me […]
We Picked a Venue! Now What?
Wedding planning fell to the wayside as soon as we started in on the house buying thing. But before all that jazz, we made a huge leap in the wedding planning process: we picked a venue. When Brent and I sat down to think about what we wanted in our dream wedding, we imagined getting […]
