Where have YOU been?

Oh lawd. First let me say, with my first sentence, since I have moved to Los Angeles I feel more like a southerner than I have my entire life. I mean, I remember as a kid being (not exactly teased) but put on the spot for my accent when visiting family in California and when traveling anywhere outside of Texas. But, by the time I was fourteen I had become so conscious of it that my accent had faded slowly, and when I was 18 it was almost gone completely. Part of the reason was I was always so ambitious and I wanted people to take me seriously. Most people when they first hear me speak would never guess where I’m from correctly. Although there are a few things I just can’t seem to shake, and I notice them daily! It has been easy enough to transition from saying Wil-shiiiire into Wilshure. But I will never be able to say sAles without that long A sound. And years ago I broke the habit of saying Ya’ll but now I work for a company named Ya! and I might as well be saying Ya’ll. It’s the lazy A that will always give me away: pale, mail, fell hmmm that’s not an A is it.

So I was back in the routine and excited to be communicating with everyone through blogging and refreshing my website again. Then I spent an entire month traveling that exhausted me more than I imagined. I was home in LA maybe seven days in August? I’m not complaining because I love the shows and I love traveling, but my body doesn’t love it as much as I do Hopefully I have not been too neglectful because I feel so refreshed and energized lately. I am more ready than ever and nothing can stop me now!

Stay tuned for SaLES and press postings! (I’m also working on some apartment changes so I will post pictures when I’ve finished!)
