I just came from a good OS friend's blog. Though he may be on the right and I'm pretty much on the left, I still consider him a friend. So why all the feelings of frustration? discontent? animosity? unsettling?

When did it all get so polarized? So muddled? When did… Read full post »

I'm speechless.

Thank you all for consoling me through the torture of anticipation!

I LOVE YOU!!!!!

To all of my faithful friends following my latest venture, what the hell does this mean?

"I will take a look at your work and reach out to you soon for some scripts."

I smell disappointment - uh-gain! John Blumenthal, please fill me in.

I can't take it. My stomach is… Read full post »

Okay, so I'm back. I told you I would be, but I know you all knew that anyway. No one can stay away from here too long. (The zap was nice though... hehehehe)

Well, I've been trying not to speak this but it's killing me! I've been working on a tremendous prospect… Read full post »

I find myself in a dilemma. The pull of this place has overtaken me again. As life whizzes around me, I sit plastered to this chair zoning in on all of you - feeding off your brilliant minds - sucking your intelligence, your wit, your creativity. Oh, why does addiction have… Read full post »

I know I might get beat up here,  but everytime I hear the above-mentioned name, I seem to get a little vomit in my mouth.  Is it just me?

Please. Share.

I really do need a cure.

Thank you in advance for your help. Read full post »

Hello Open Salon!!! How I miss the lively blogosphere here. However, to my surprise, Pitbulls in Spamalot is NOT on the most viewed feed... I am amazed!

Well, aside from falling into the deep pits of hell, there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel... Thank God! (Can… Read full post »

Goodbye to a very special young lady. Tears came flowing out of my eyes today when I dropped off my daughter's friend at the bustop to live at a shelter in Miami. She has been our neighbor and a part of our family for over 7 years. She is now 17 and the… Read full post »

I'm in my yard walking to the shed to get the lawnmower. Lo and behold and walk smack into this thing!

 Ugh! After I brush myself off and experience a spine-tingling chill I came face to face with the motherlode!

 Double Ugh! The thing… Read full post »

Okay, all matters of politics and serious issues aside for a moment, there is a matter that I must give attention to on this long-awatied day before freedom... the kids go back to school on Monday! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Now, I know down south the starti… Read full post »

I've been holding back. I've been in such despair. Except for the shining moments I have at the childrens theater and in between bouts of teenage hell at home, I have been in a pit of darkness and depression! I know you're all with me on the financial struggles – I… Read full post »

Okay. I started my last session at the children's theater today. Exhausting to say the least, but how I love these kids! 

 So the play is Baby Rattlesnake. The original story is told by a Native American and calls for about 6 characters. I'm retelling and adapting for stage for 32… Read full post »

Green is lovely...

green is light...

    

Where would we be without blogging? Or better yet, without OS? I mean, in the daytime, in the evening, in the wee hours of the morning? Where else can we rant, vent, and just speak at any time we want? And get feedback!!!! God is good. OS is good.

I used to… Read full post »

I need some advice. I love kids. I'm all about kids. They are amazing. But I mostly like them outside of my home! In between breaks of working at a childrens theater, I realize I love working there so much because at the end of my shift, they all go home!!!!!!… Read full post »

Where else can one come to blog? I mean really blog?

Facebook? Twitter? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... Not. They are good for finding friends and a tweet here and there, but to really blog? 

Now I know on OS there are the tit for tats, the cafeteria fights,  the flouncing, the returning, the… Read full post »

Hello all! I have missed you all sooooooooooo much! Every summer,  for the past five years, I have had the rare opportunity to work with kids from 5 to 12 at a local performing arts center. We work in 2 week sessions and produce plays with different themes. This last one was… Read full post »

In the midst of mango season here in Florida I can't help but complain about all the mangoes that fill my yard! Everywhere I step, I feel a squish under my feet, then I almost stumble and fall. Some of them fill with bugs before I can get to them ...

Oi-vey! Does it have to be so damn difficult? The mouths, the attitudes, the demands, the needs, the friends, the food, aye-aye-aye! You know, after an exhausting  day of battling I have to think back, “Was I this horrible when I was a teen?” Yikes! I was! Mom, Dad (even though… Read full post »
