Fringe Wrap-Up

My Fringe experience ended on a high note. Audiences voted Oreo Best in Venue. Our award was an extra performance on Sunday evening. Given an ill-timed deluge of rain that started right as the final box office opened, I was pleased that a few dozen bodies made it out for our final show ( Read more... )

This was certainly the most low-key Christmas I've ever had. We didn't have a tree, because Drama Prince is too curious and too handsy* to be trusted around ornaments.

My holiday weekend was lovely. Drama King's parents came for a long overdue visit. They brought a special bonus guest -- my six-year-old niece. Our nieces live about six hours away, so it's always a treat to see them in Ottawa. Of course, she was delighted at the prospect of an entire weekend spent with her baby cousing, Drama Prince ( Read more... )

My first Mother's Day and my weekend in general, pretty much kicked-ass.

Saturday, my Drama Family and I met kindled_whimsy and hardcormier for Chinese lunch at So Good. It was, as the name suggests, soooo good. In fact, I may have to marry their salt and pepper tofu ( Read more... )
