Bittersweet thoughts

Tonight is the audition for "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at a local theater. I've done this show before, WAY back in 1996. I had always said that if I auditioned for it again, I would audition only for the lead - the narrator. In fact, since they announced the show, I've been thinking of and preparing for this audition. But due to my decision to take a break from the stage, I won't be there tonight. A bit upset, but know that getting the role would have been a longshot anyway. I do still stand firm behind my decision, even if it means giving up the chance to play a role I've always wanted to.

However, the break WILL do me good. I have a roast in the crockpot now. Planning on making my famous beef and noodles along with potatoes (haven't decided how to prepare them yet) and roasted asparagus (something I've never done before - I normally just steam them.) We'll see how it turns out. Glad I have some wine leftover from the Holidays. The Christmas break has been good, but have a VERY heavy work week ahead.
