Gigs are Good for my Soul
I just got back from playing at a Christmas open house party in Oakville, on a street that I imagine looks just like Wisteria Lane (I have never seen the show, so I can only surmise). It was packed with well-behaved kids who all have Phillipino nannies and bowl cuts. It was catered and in a beautiful house. I was the entertainment, and I am always amazed at my ability to blend in with anybody. My show was a real hit. I was in fine form. Any request that they hollered out I was able to do really quickly! Someone actually told me that I could quit my day job!!! Now THAT'S a big compliment. My boss was there, and was impressed. It was a good hair day, to boot. I feel that I have come into my own: I have had many years of bad boyfriends, low self esteem, co-dependence, debt, etc. But I felt that all those lessons have gelled and I am now a fully formed person, ready and confident to take on any new challenge. It's a great feeling. Or maybe I am just on a high from playing. In any case, I feel fabulous!
