Sitting Around In My Husband's Shirt

Ah, post-event bliss. I am married and I must tell you, I don't feel any differently. The titles are strange, sure, but the feeling is identical. Grateful for the best partner on earth, happily puttering around my little house, negotiating contracts for my business. The only moment of poopiness I have had was the other day when within 24 hours I found out that two people that I have known have become, for lack of a better word, famous. Malin Ackerman - who I just saw in 27 Dresses and is in the new Ben Stiller movie - is someone I know. It didn't even occur to me, until later, that the blonde I was watching on the screen was the same blonde 17 year old whose apartment I hung out at in Toronto back in 2001, 2002. I know her through Leanne who worked with her mother, yadda yadda yadda.

Then, that night I was googling something unrelated when I stumbled upon this year's Juno nominees and saw Suzie McNeil was nominated. It took me a second and then I stopped and realized this was SUZIE MCNEIL, the girl I went to Sheridan College with for part of the first year in 1996. I liked Suzie back then...she was always kind of a bad ass and didn't fit into our squeaky clean Music Theatre College, thus dropping out and going her own way. Now, after winning that REM Rock Star reality TV show, her career has taken off. In fact, one of her songs is going to be the theme song for the 2010 Olympics!

These are the moments when my simple little happiness seems sorta pathetic. I immediately feel defeated that I have not done anything as significant as these women and it makes me want to eat a bag of Doritos. Hey, I am just being honest. Getting away this weekend to Saskatoon helped. Buddies, successful auditions, a trip to the Centre for Positive Living and being registered all lifted my spirits. And today, I must shosholoza. I have business cards to design and a meeting tonight in Regina to nail down this summer show here in Moose Jaw.

I will add a link on here for our registry in case anyone is dying to get us a gift. It was distressing how expensive everything was, so feel free to ignore it or compile a group of ten people to buy one thing. Right now, there is only a Sear's link, but we are also going to register at Canadian Tire (we are renovating!!) and I will add that in a few days...
