“I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged.”
- “I Was Hoping”, Alanis Morrisette

Back when I first began blogging, some two odd years ago, I used to begin my entries with a quote or a song lyric that had stuck with me that day.  I was driving in this morning and listening to Alanis and realizing how much I miss poetry and well-written lyrics.  So I think I’m going to start that again.

My fever broke last night, so I’m feeling like a good 65% normal.  Which is better than yesterday.  Thanks for asking.

Last night was a bust.  I so want to have the house perfect and unpacked by the time Bryan comes home, but as time gets away from me, I wonder how feasible that truly is.  Last night was supposed to be about my friends.  But, no.. as I should’ve expected, I am not allowed to have a life outside of “Seussical”.  That’s not a complaint; I understand what it takes to put a quality show together.  However.. it did suck.

There was some comforting familiarity to it, though.  As I was waiting for a dress to be ripped apart for me, I began ironing seams.  Scent memories are always the strongest for me, and the smell of AAA at night combined with ironing satin just took me back.  I felt 14 again.  And, although standing still for hours sucks, it’s always very cool at the end of the night to see the dress that’s been built for you. 

Make no mistake, folks.. I will be wearing a dress that’s difficult to live up to.  But COMPLETELY worth the ticket price.

So far, in the move, I’ve lost:

• my cell phone charger
• my Shel Shorts scripts
• socks

I’m going to try and remedy all of those today.  I actually dreamed about my cell phone charger, where I opened some drawer and magically, my charger was there.. but that’s not what happened when I woke up.  And my scripts?  NO idea.  None.  I’m such a bad actress.  It’s right up there with our first read-thru for “The Women”, where I had to say in front of my entire cast, “I’m sorry.. my dogs ate my script.” (And it was true, which made for a much better story.)

There will be more later.  But there’s not a whole bunch right now.
