Not what I expected

One week with no blogging, Twittering, or Facebooking and very limited e-mailing is not at all what I expected.
I thought I would have more free time.
I thought I would have my to-do list knocked at by noon.
I thought I would exercise every day.
I thought I would get through at least one book.
I thought I would [...]

Emma’s Stage Debut

Yes, Jake and I are openly laughing at her poor little “ear malfunction”. It’s totally my fault which makes it O.K. for me to laugh it. The wedgie? That wasn’t my fault…

STINKER!

Today, Jacob is going to experience a “first” here in Maryland.  It’s a first that even Dave and I haven’t experienced yet.
He’s going on a field trip today.  We’ve known about it since we moved here back in October and as soon as I found out what it was I decided I would do what [...]

Just takes a second…

My brother sent me the following e-mail today and I urge all of you to follow the link and sign the petition if you are so inclined…
Quincy Jones has started a petition to ask President-Elect Obama to appoint a Secretary of the Arts. While many other countries have had Ministers of Art or Culture for [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Missed Shows

I think I’m going to break from the obvious Thursday Thirteen post today and do something a little unexpected.  There are so many things I’m thankful for that I’m not sure I could keep the list to thirteen anyway.
Instead, I’m going to write a post about…missed opportunities, if you will.  I love live theatre.  I’ve [...]

Thursday Thirteen – H is for Honeydew

Today’s list is brought to you by the letter H!

Hello – Thanks for visiting me today!
Horses – When I was growing up, I would have given anything to own a horse.  Not take care of a horse, mind you.  Just own one.  So I could pet it.  Because I’m afraid of riding them.
Heat – I’m [...]

T-minus 4 hours, 17 minutes

Tonight. Live. On stage. No kids. Dinner before at a non-chain restaurant. Great seats. We’re still in Ohio to see it.
Seriously, I may just start crying right now.

Talk About Tuesday

I kind of mentioned it in passing, but yesterday was Dave’s and my anniversary. We’ve been married 7 years. And at the risk of sounding sappy, they’ve all been wonderful. Who knew that when we tried out for Grease in June of 1999 that we would be married 2 years later? [...]

Get ‘em out by Friday!

Here is the third question that Michelle asked
How do you find time to be in shows with young children?
This is a really good question.
Sometimes doing theatre, well…it can be tough. Before kids, Dave and I would do 5 or 6 shows a year between the 2 of us. We just went from show [...]

Here come Tuesday mornin’…

Beth from I Should Be Folding Laundry asks:
What made you start a blog?
What subject was your favorite in high school?
When you were younger, what did you want to be as an adult?
Today’s your lucky day folks! Three for the price of one!!
I started a blog because my friend Christine was doing it and she [...]
