  • On Brand – 21 Sept 25

  • As briefly mentioned in last week’s roundup, I had two super fun performing events last week. The first was Storytime with Piedmont Opera. It was a lot of fun to get to perform while pretending to use my masters degree in library science for once. After learning a little bit about the opera and the…

  • On Brand – 9 Mar 25

    Fun fact: I had this all mainly drafted and already to go… and forgot to finish it on Sunday when I had a costume fitting, yoga, and two blocks of rehearsal. Y’all know I never claimed to be a proper blogger. 🍴: Mon- the world’s fastest caldo verde soup inspired by this month’s Food &…

  • On Brand – 2 Mar 25

    🍴: Mon – because I anticipated having a rehearsal conflict on Saturday for intermediate ballet, I popped into tonight’s beginner 2 class, so Hampton took care of dinner and did a lentil/merguez/feta shenanigans much like we did a few weeks ago and I was so ready to eat after an hour of strength training before…

    Ann of La Mancha
