Tonight is the night we change our clocks for Daylight Savings Time. I guess we’re ending Daylight Savings – or maybe we’re starting it. I don’t know and I don’t really care. All I know is that I will be losing an hour of sleep. Ok, it’s not THAT bad; I do like when the […]
You heard read me right – I did say Polyp Man. Found this amusing picture in the newspaper the other day and I couldn’t resist posting it: It’s a little goofy, but hey, whatever works to raise awareness to help people detect and combat colon cancer. If Polyp Man saves lives, more power to him.

Tonight was opening night for Meet Me in St. Louis (Louis) and it went remarkably well from the stage, anyway. The director presented us each with a carnation and told us that we were the best cast she has ever had (and she has been involved with the theatre since 1974). Prior to the show,

Nerves, nerves…. Yes, I found out I have them. I’ve known about them before, but only before a show. Will I forget all my lines? Will I stumble on stage? Will I remember the blocking? Will I miss an entrance? Will I have ALL of my costume? Will my fly be zipped? Oh yeah, I

Because being a Stay-at-home-mom (SAHM to laypeople) is my current profession, I am required to multi-task on a daily basis in a way some people have never experienced.

After Tuesday nights ever predictable rehearsal from heck, the cast, crew, and orchestra really pulled together tonight. Tuesday’s rehearsal was predictably bad because I have yet to be in ANY show in which opening week was not full of pitfalls. I actually would be very surprised if I ever in one that ran flawlessly… I

No rehearsals tonight, and that is a good thing. I have to go over my lines again, but that is a given when in a play. Until it is over, the lines have to be comfortable in my mind. But it is an easier night. I used my time to get a bit of shopping,

I had a really stressful day yesterday. The kids went completely crazy at night – was it a full moon? I didn’t check. Even if that was the case, other little things kept going wrong also. Little things – things that really shouldn’t matter. Except that when those little things are added up, they equal
