Meet the Girl behind the Story

I come from a small town, and sometimes life in a big city catches me off guard. Crazy things happen here; I guess they happen everywhere, but I just wasn’t brought up in a fast pace lifestyle.

Now don’t get me wrong, I never shy away from drama. Feed me classy dinners out and pretty dresses in HUGE spoonfuls. Being a classically trained singer I enjoy a night at the opera more than most, and would be totally lost without my daily gourmet coffee fix. I treasure my Coach purses, Pashmina’s from Prague, and delicate Italian leather high heels.

But, a majority of the time, I can also get by with a cold beer on the patio and a BBQ dinner.  I love my cowboy boots more than any other boot and sweatpants are my pants of choice. 

My favorite sounds are crickets on a warm summer night, and the next Spadina streetcar actually arriving on time.  I have no trouble sleeping through ambulances passing my building with such alarming regularity that I could set my watch by them. When you grow up taking naps in the orchard with a tractor driving by, you learn to sleep through anything.

Yup, I’ve got both sides to me; small town and uptown...and I like it that way.  One day I’ll be at an audition in pumps and lipstick, the next day I’m in my favorite old jeans belting out Keith Urban. 

I present to you The Concrete Orchard; everyday events with dash of pizzazz.  Each week I’ll bring you a new story and I promise it will always make you smile.  I mean, who doesn’t like to read about other people’s lives anyway?

...even the simplest lives have a little drama.
