long time, no..... write....

okay. i totally have several valid excuses for why i haven't posted in so freaking long. basically, school is HELL right now. taking five classes? not so smart. plus, the baby is walking now and gets into everything.

for example, this morning i found her playing in the toilet bowl. with one hand she splashed the water and with the other, she used one of her stacking cups to take cupfulls of toilet water and dump them all over the floor. i think i purelled her entire body before giving her a bath. nasty, man.

not much else is going on. OH! i am proud to announce that i am making my triumphant return to theatre as.... the stage manager for a terrible elementary school musical revue!!! as i explained to tommy boy, i get to wear a cool headset and yell at little kids, so it's not all bad. the show, however, is actually ALL bad. ALL. BAD. there's way too much going on with it to explain here, so i'll just leave it at that. it's bad. have i mentioned that?

in other news, i'm totally psyched for joanie to come visit. she must meet my blessed child of sin and have a slice at my pizza place and a bagel at my bagel place and drink our delicious award-winning tap water and enjoy the hella boring long island. i don't know all of the details yet, but we WILL be attending the april 29th (joanifer's b-day!!!) performance of "the threepenny opera" starring, no lie, alan cumming, nellie mckay, cindy lauper, ana gastayer, and last, but certainly not least, madonna's baby-daddy-turned-actor carlos leon. amazing, right? i know it.

soooooo i got about two hours of sleep last night, woken up as i do every morning by a swift slap to the face by my lovely 1-year-old. right after she slapped me, she sneezed all over my nose and mouth, then laughed. is she my girl or what?

i leave y'all with some cute pictures - we went to the bronx zoo last week, so hopefully i'll be getting some of those soon. enjoy!
