Lost something!

Okay so it's been a hard 2 weeks, but Matty and I gave up fast food! I know, you are saying ANGI gave up french fries?!?!?! But it's true!

I have lost 10 lbs. in the process. I am not limiting my food intake, but have discovered that I am hungry less often now that we are eating at home and taking lunch to work. I am still trying to understand....something about less fat in my diet keeps my body from thinking it's starving. I don't know how it works, but it makes me happy!

I am up to about 15 minutes on the cross trainer every day. I have also been trying to get Matty to go on walks with me. I may be acting childish, but I am afraid to walk by myself. Even having Cooper with me isn't enough. My neighborhood is safe, but it seems more and more that life is not safe and I am just nervous.

Anyhow, now I have to focus on not looking at the scale every single day. I promised myself I will only weigh in on Mondays. We will see how well I do.


P.S. My pal Ariel is the newest Blue Man in NYC!!!!! Go Ariel!!!!!!!

Quick Update (non-returners)

Brian and Melinda (Pfundstein) Vaughn will not be joining us this summer or fall. BOO!!!

David Ian Lee is not joining us this summer but maybe for the fall. (Tell everyone how much you miss him!!!!)

Misty Cotton will not be joining us for summer but who knows about fall.

Sherin Bennett-Driscoll has left Stage Management. This was a tough decision she had been thinking about for awhile. So, since October she's been working as Academic Affairs Coordinator at The Jewish Theological Seminary in NYC. It's basically stage managing academic information for a group of schools - databases, meetings, scheduling, etc. The 9-to-5 transition was a big shock at first, but she is really liking it and is very happy.

Aaron G-S will not be returning this summer. I don't know what the hell REACH is going to do without him.

*sigh*

They will all be missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

IKEA is coming!!!!!!

Happy Valentines Day!

Actor update (short but sweet)

Okay actors are beginning to get their contract offers. I haven't talked to Jamie yet to get the "returning Equity actors" newsletter update, but here are a few.

The TRASKmaster (aka Emily) is slotted for Ermengarde in the Matchmaker (which, from what I gather involves a lot of crying and at least one good faint) and Lend Me a Tenor.

Rhett Guter is in Greenshow and Tenor.

Shelly Gaza is planning on doing Viola (Twelfth Night) and Cordelia (Lear). She has her letter of intent so I'm posting!!!

Jane Noseworthy is playing Maggie in Tenor, and something in Coriolanous

Eric Van T is in Matchmaker.

Sadly, Michael BruSASSY will not be joining us.

Neither will David Ian Lee (unless something changed in the past couple of days.) BOO!!!!!!!

Rumor has it Dan Kremer is playing Lear!

Happy VD!
