Lists.

By on February 21, 2007 in The Blushing Bride

Things I am excited about:

  • Tonight is my last “dark night” before I return to the seventh layer of hell, also known as “children’s theatre”
  • I plan to go to the gym.  No, really, I really am.
  • Pinocchio .. not the time committment so much, but the show and cast in general.
  • Getting my hair cut next week.

Things I am NOT excited about:

  • The fact that I am never, ever going to see my husband during daylight hours ever, ever again.  He is in hell week for his show, which runs this weekend parallel to mine, and then he is out of town next week, then we have The Boy the next weekend, then we are in Pinocchio rehearsals, and then he’s out of town for ANOTHER four days. 

Maybe I should’ve given up wife-dom for Lent.  It’ll be Easter before I have to pick it up again. ;)

Confession

By on February 21, 2007 in Uncategorized

You ever just have one of those days where you feel uncomfortable all day, like you just aren’t right, and then you go to the bathroom and realize you have not only put on your underwear inside out, but BACKWARDS as well?  Shut up; you know you’ve done it too.

The “C” Word.

By on February 21, 2007 in The Unexplainable

Cursing.  Computers.  Cheese. Crawfish. Cracking my knuckles.  All things that were suggested to me as things I should give up for Lent.  On the flip side of the coin, I’ve also got a list of suggestions of things I could take on for Lent: Charity, Committment, Cell Phones, Children. (You’re wondering about cell phones: I hate them.  I don’t use mine.  It is merely a alpha-numeric pager.)

I know it’s killing you: WHAT IS SARAH GOING TO DO ABOUT LENT?

And the short answer is.. I don’t know.

I’ve already screwed up giving up cursing. (I have, after all, been awake for five hours already.) And quite frankly, I’ve already taken on children, and that fuels my need to curse.  I could do charity, but I already contribute by paying to park at the VBC and overpaying for meals during the run of shows.  I type too much to give up cracking my knuckles (God would not want me to get carpal tunnel), and I laugh at you who suggest that I give up cheese and/or crawfish.  You’re supposed to EAT FISH DURING LENT, you know.  And cheese.. well, Jesus totally would’ve dug cheese and you know it.  And actually picking up my cell phone would make me one of the people I hate who walk around with a cell phone attached to them at all times, and I’m bad enough about not “unplugging” from work unless I’m sleeping.

Someone suggested I give up “cattiness”.  To which I replied, “You shut the hell up, with your blasphemy.”  What a stupid-ass idea. (See?  The Cursing one was a goner.)

Here’s the final two: Charging – meaning I’ll only deal in cash, with the exception being rotating bills that are automatically drafted to my debit/check card, and Church – meaning that I will visit a new church every Sunday.  The Charging thing, I think, would be a great eye-opener for how I really spend my money.  And Church?  Well, I always loved visiting churches when I was younger.  Now that I’m established in the community (I’m in the elite, you know), I’d like to know that I’ve explored all of our spiritual options.

Opinions?
