So much to say, so little motivation to write anything but a one line status update. Oh well, it's gotta be done. I've procrastinated for close to a month now. Here, I'll break it out for you cuz it's going to be a lot of reading. :)

If you just want to see Hawaii pictures, go here.

The Sequel



We thought it was fixed. It wasn't. Actually it's not even the washer's fault, it's the pipe in the wall. It's plumber time tomorrow! Woo!

My washer exploded bubbles everywhere. I felt a little like I was on I Love Lucy. Hopefully Santa will be bringing me a new washer for Christmas. :)

Ok, so maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. It wasn't quite an extravaganza. It was more like me being really excited about making green cookies and Annie nicely pretending like she didn't think I was insane.

Well, post-play boredom has officially set in. It's the usual scenario. When I'm busy I complain that I don't have time to do normal things like cleaning and chores and house projects. But when I'm not busy, I realize that I don't actually want to do any of those things, really. And when I'm busy I feel bad that I don't see Rob ever. But when I"m not busy, I realize that he's actually gone at least three nights a week too, so me being home doesn't really make any difference. So, the moral of the story is, I need to find something to do. And actually motivate myself to get up off the couch and do it. :) I'm feeling very lazy right now. And my finger is actually hurting a bit again, the one that I injured during the play. I thought it was all better, but I guess not. Hm. I have accomplished one thing today. I've gone through an entire bag of cinnamon pita chips all by myself. Yum.

I hurt my finger. :( Owwie.

I don't know when or how, just that it hurts now. I guess it must have been during one of three possible incidents... When I fell down, on purpose. When I tripped down the stairs, accidentally. Or when I walked directly into a piece of scenery in the dark. Oops. :)

I went to Target today for only the 2nd time in my life. I think I'm starting to see part of why people love it so much. I went there looking for a cheap black t-shirt that I could deface for the play. I came home with that plus four other shirts for less than the price of one shirt from Ann Taylor or Macy's or something. I guess it's like a less disgusting Walmart. Good times.

And a list. Cuz I like lists.

Good things:

Peanut butter
Space heaters
Tour jetes
Frozen health food dinners that actually taste good
New sneakers
Peppermint hot chocolate
Kitties
Numbers
Juno
Refrigerator water dispensers
Fun rehearsals
Pretty trees

Bad things:

Raking
Waking up early
Politics
Seeing the same commercials 700 times during the sox games
Coming home to a dark house cuz the light timer broke

The end.

Rob patched a hole in his jeans with duct tape. Seriously.

I suppose now is as good a time as any to make the latest and greatest show announcement... So here it is!

It's a strange show, but it's fun. I'm on stage a good portion of the first act, there's a bunch of dancing, and I have a fun scene as a messenger to the wicked witch. Plus some...interesting...costumes. :)
