I be so sleepy this morning.

Bryan and I didn’t fall asleep till, like, three this morning.  We just got to talking and giggling and laughing and commiserating and before we knew it, I had to be up in three hours.  But like I told him this morning, it was TOTALLY worth it.

Due to extenuating circumstance, I ended up at Lee last night for the one-act rehearsal.  I got to chat with Viv for a bit and help out with costumes, so that was fun.  I haven’t seen the kids since district, so it was fun to catch up with them too.  And of course, I love that show. 

Ron was also there last night.  That man has my heart.  We crossed paths only rarely when I was in school there, but I took a few oral interp classes from him at UAH, and we really came to understand eachother.  He quickly picked up on the fact that I don’t like to be coddled or made a fuss over, so we have this great habit.  We will talk to eachother all evening, work together side by side, whatever.. and then, as we’re leaving, he’ll look at me and say, “Oh.  Hi, Sarah.” as if we’ve just then acknowledged eachother.  I say, “Oh.  Hi, Ron.”  And we both smile.

Ron is one of those people in theatre who is a complete person.  Everything he does is part of his character; even his props are perfect.  For example, no one else in the world would take notes for a show.. in a Bible.  He just wrote in the last few pages of a leather-bound, gilded-leaf bible.  Who else in the world would do that?  And, a man after my own heart, he gave the boys-in-tights this note.. “Boys, check yourself before you walk on stage in tights.  I thought I saw your monkey.”

After we all laughed and cut-up and we sent the children home, we went back to my house.  Bryan had some errands to run, and he crawled back into bed around 11:15.  Then we acted like little kids at a sleep-over till WAAAAY too late.  Or too early..?  Either way, I be so sleepy.
