And.....

Since the last post, I've been accepted into the FIT Apparel Design program, I've turned 31, and I've continued working at Grata and met a regular that is apparently famous within the NY restaurant world (I've actually witnessed another regular come in and was stunned that he was in his presence and ask to have his picture taken with him) that has so many connections here, he's told me he can help my singing career.
NOW- what does this mean?
It just means there may eventually be lots of decisions to be made.
Sandy, the singer I met before, basically is wanting me to sing with her on her jazz nights, which I will do. She asks me about my career every time I see her. And last night told me not to make the same mistake she made about being such a creative person that she is all over the place.....
I am admittedly all over the place....
I don't want to be. I want my life to be simple and focused. I'm bartending in order to save money and pay bills, freelance web design in order to save money, going to school in order to not have to do either of those and be able to sing and perform nights and weekends. I have no idea if what I'm doing IS the right method.... Sometimes I think I should just cut the fat, bartend to survive, and use the downtime to study singing. The problem there is that I don't want to bartend the rest of my life and thats where the fashion comes in. Thats a career I would love to do if I didn't have the itch to sing and perform. Thats my perfect life, freelance/design dresses and sing at night.
And who knows- maybe I'll get a regular gig up here where I can fly to and from the South.
And I'll be a singer with a fashion line and my husband will be a salumi king/golf pro...

I'm putting it out there Universe!
