I'm back...
I'm Back...well maybe to just dabble my toes in the water
A whole lotta nothing has been going on.
The museum contiunes to be in financial crisis. We have increased attendence by 80% over the past four years...but at 3.00 a pop you can't expect to pay the operating cost of a place like that. In a town with the population of 4,000 (my high school had more people in it than this town) everyone who wanted to see it has already come by...tourist?...they trickle in. The board has come up with a solution..."need to cut back on staff". Guess it's just wait and see. Might have to bite the bullet and start commuting to Boston for a job.
In other news: I'm in a musical! Seriously...a musical! For those who don't know me personally. I can't sing. I sound like a cat that's being given a bath. Hold your eardrums they just might start to bleed. Must have the words "sucker" written on my forehead. Judy cornered me at a talk I did on guilded age mansions, next thing I know Robb is in my office telling me I volunteered to be in the play and giving me the script and rehersal schedule. Been to two rehersals so far...oh boy, this is going to be a disaster. Other than one of my neighbor boys, he's about 18, I'm the youngest by a long shot. No wonder Judy and Robb wanted to guilt me into doing this. Worse of all, I have two parts: 1- I play a teenager in a drugstore cafe and 2- I'm one of the "bump and grind" ladies at the town meeting.
Tomorrow is Summer Soltice...this always puts me in a good mood no matter what. Planning to do an late afternoon hike up the mountain and watch the sunset. Supposed to be a beautiful day.
Love that trail...went up it Saturday. Sitting on the top when a big German Shephard came by to say hello. She was a beauty. I'm having biological clock ticking thing...no kids, so I guess I need a Puppy! Gonna wait until I know I don't have to change jobs. I want a puppy...no thats not really true...I want a dog. Puppies are a pain in the ass. for the first two years you just want to strangle them then all of a sudden they magically become great dogs.
As I said...it as been a month of a whole lot of nothing.
