Okay, thanks to today this will be a two-part post. See my next post for the reason. 🙂 Yesterday I had the privilege of attending my nephew’s high school graduation. He actually attended two of the same schools as I did growing up. One of those schools I have subbed at several times. The other one was […]
My youngest just heard that she was selected to be in our local High Schools Singing/Dance Troop. Since the mascot of the school is a Locomotive, they call the troop Locomotion. Over the years this has been an award winning group of young singer/dancers. The competition for spots is almost fierce. I always thought she

Anyone who knows me well knows that sometimes I can lack confidence. I suppose years of adolescent torment can do that to someone. But one thing I was confident in was my ability to make a good persuasive argument. NOT ANYMORE. After recent events as a member of our local theatre’s “Play Reading Committee” I

These pregnancy nightmares I’m having are out of hand. Not only is my sleep interrupted, but the dreams are getting just plain weird! Before this pregnancy, I would rarely have dreams that I would even remember when I woke up, let alone have dreams so vivid that I’m unable to sleep after waking from them. It’s funny how

It was rather enjoyable

If one awards ceremony wasn’t enough, the school I was at today had its own awards show. Knowing that elementary students are far more impatient than older ones, this ceremony was much shorter fortunately. And I got to sit down… Actually, the entire thing was one hour, but the presentations were only about 20 minutes.
The latest news I heard was that Harvey Korman died. One of the best comedy actors in his day, he starred on the “Carol Burnett Show” for years, and was in many of my favorite Mel Brooks Comedies. Dick Martin from Laugh-In died on the 24th of May. And finally on my list was the

Typing in CAPS is considered yelling, as far as computers and text messages go. And I’m yelling MOTORCYCLES because that’s what you have to do in order to be able to hear yourself talk or even think while one is nearby. With the horrible reality of gas prices these days (holding “steady” at $3.99 in
Tonight’s rehearsal was full of very hard work but it was all fun. We spent nearly an hour-and-a-half blocking and walking through the most elaborate piece of the show: “The Weekly Volcano Press.” The scene is essentially Jo telling a story that she has written to the Professor and Mrs. Kirk. The story is chock
