Engagement!

As you could probably guess from the title, yes it finally happened! Rocco proposed last Monday, March 21st at Sunday River. I'm so happy to be getting married to my soulmate and best friend! Ee!
I must admit, though after a week of engagement bliss I have found myself on the brink of insanity…to put it lightly, I mean. I'm stuck in the "make-everyone-happy" state of mind and I gotta tell ya, it's really screwing with my emotions. Planning a wedding is not as easy as I thought...
My mentality going into this was, "Oh, ours will be simple; we're offbeat so it'll be easy!"
Lies. We only just started sorting through who we want to come. I stretched my side of the family to about 25. Rocco has 97 and counting. Oy.
Either way I'm taking the week to not be insane and take a breather.
That's all for now, I'm off to class so I can sneak-read my Offbeat Bride book!

Cheers,

M.E.J.

So Much Stuff...

It seems blogging has taken a backseat to everything else in my insane life...but here I am, so don't fret! I have updates!

First of all Clutter was an absolute success! Laura and Dalton were absolutely fantastic. Also, my designers made the show look so beautiful. It's lovely to have free time now, but I do miss it. It was a pretty fantastic experience.

Speaking of plays I just won the 10-minute playwriting contest hosted by the literary journal, Words and Images. Not only do I get published with a lovely stipend, but I get to do a performance of my play in front of many esteemed writers at a reception. I'm so happy it's gross.
Also, I just finished the first draft of my latest full-length play with the working title, "Colorblind: A Tragedy." It's sad in so many ways. I'm really excited about it.

Finally, the understudy run for Triumph of Love is next Wednesday. Enough said. Also, I was cast in MadHorse Theatre's (a professional theatre company, by the way) production of a new musical, Shameless!, debuting for the first time ever for the Dark Night series. Best part? It's a real role. Not an understudy role. I'm moving up in the world!
=D

Well, that's all for now. Happy rest of vacation, all!

Cheers,
