busy busy busy!

A few months have gone by and I'm still sitting in my 'open concept' office on the 10th floor of DT Calgary trying to figure out which route in life to take as the gloominess of August lingers on... Have had some clairification (which is always a good thing) regarding my music and recording. Turns out that my 'producer' is a middle man and although the money raising is done, the prospect of not having a well placed marketing team ready is beyond what I'm willing to risk, especially with that much (of someone elses money) on the line.

So, at the advice of a good friend, (skrewed over artist by this producer who is now touring with new band and a Wealth of information) I'm honing my skills and continuing to play and write - finding out what exactly makes my music / sound / image unique enough to go the distance once I start 'running'. Soon enough I say! It's something I'll always have.

Have moved to new house, and started school. As I'm "working" FT with no work, which is affording me plenty of time for study (nice!) which is contributing to a 98% average. Very excited b/c at this rate, I'll be finished 4 months early and hopefully working both my current job and transcribing at the same time for a bit - save up a bit of a cushion before jumping off. Ooo and talked to my brother about Mexico - both bro's and their wives are looking to move down south semi-permantly which means free place to crash! They're buying a boat. *bliss...

Off to drive through Spain in a few weeks, hang out in Dublin for the weekend and a quick jaunt to England - first time to Europe, so very excited about it.

Finishing two bridesmaids dresses (from hell I say) for a wedding next weekend which will be beautiful but wishing it was a bit more organized... last minute is NOT the way to go! Have done quite a bit of designing lately - a few costumes, a wedding dress, and a stellar rain coat. Photo-shoot on Sunday (had amazing audition with a casting director from Vancouver) and being submitted for principle role in up coming movie - (biting nails!!!)

Running 9K every other day, and feeling so amazing, strong... Ran into ex-husband at a party 1500 miles away and (well fancy that...) decides that he want's me back - "what can I do to make you trust me..." hmmmm Never saw that one coming, besides being, oh a year or two late.

Just really enjoying being me, traveling - the adventure of 'running-away' with a back pack for a month or two; having the freedom to do what I please, when I please - meeting new people and doing new things.

It's like getting a new lease on life; a second chance; insert other cliche here... it's just a blessing I never thought to posess again but all the sweeter b/c I'm mature, and have a bit of money and no real responsibilities.

Life is good!
