At work today
I have one more holiday gig to plan out.  I am taking the 2nd grade to the Senior Center here in town to sing on December 8th.  It's a small PR gig that I always enjoy so.... no worries there.  I have to select aobut 4 songs for the kids to learn between now and then.  This class is very musical so I am not worried in the slightest.

What's in my mug
This morning is a hot tea kind of morning.  I do need/want a little caffeine so it's Orange Pekoe tea.  Good stuff.... helping opne my eyes a little more.
Later on this afternoon, I forsee a water bottle of Crystal Light.  I know, I know.... some you are gasping and pointing and saying *aspartame*.... so what? Don't care.
This evening ( Read more... )

Icon.... totally ganked and I can't remember where or from who.  It is awesomeness ( Read more... )

I felt much better after all my theater ranting yesterday.  I talked to a couple of people and it helped.  Then I woke up this morning and I felt a huge amount of anxiety about the Christmas show.  For example, we have our first rehearsal on Monday... and I find myself dreading it.  Seriously dreading it.  The last time I felt like this about a ( Read more... )

So... Lee and I went to the meeting/auditions for the Christmas variety show last night.  The local community theater company we are a part of decided to do a Christmas variety show this year instead of an actual Christmas show, since those are a little hard to come by (decent one anyways).  I went in thinking i had a couple of Christmas songs in ( Read more... )

... there is so much to do between today and tomorrow.... it's a bit overwhelming.  I am not certain how but I intend to make my booth space tomorrow look very..... gypsy like.  As much as I can with card tables, grooming tables, fabrics and all my wares.  This feat.... it seems almost impossible... but I am going to attempt it anyways ( Read more... )

... remember how they wanted me repel out of a helicopter for the 4th of July?  The insurance company and county commission said NO.  So, yea.....
Now, instead, Lee and I have a hysterical little skit involving a kids bike, a brick, a board and possilby some streamers and sparklers.

... the program goes well this evening and no parents tells me they are "disappointed".... because at this point in the game if ANYONE were to say that to me, near me, or loud enough for anyone to tell me they heard it, I would come a little unhinged and tell that person that next year THEY can write my show and teach it to my students and I'll ( Read more... )

... so last summer Lee and I emceed the 4th of July variety show that preceeds the fireworks.  And we had a great time.  And we both agreed we'd LOVE to do it again ( Read more... )

... directing a portion of a show that is.  And OMGZ was I nervous.  It was actually difficult to sit through the show last night.... not because it was terribly (it wasn't) or because it felt long (it is) but because I had a hand in it and I just felt genuinely nervous for myself and everyone else involved.  I felt nauseous a large portion of the ( Read more... )
