What a great weekend this was/is. Well, it wasn’t without it’s one share of wankery, but hey. Variety is the spice, yes?
Friday nights performance was full of friends. Delbert and Christy and McCracken, M’Lynn and Barb, Kris and Shawn…all there to witness an absolute meltdown during scene two that seemed to set the stage for the entire show. We had a misstep, that turned into something akin to armageddon. There was broken coaster glass on the floor and bits and pieces of what should have been a fabulous scene…Ah well. We rallied and the audience, though they were small and quiet, did laugh and stick with us. I hate that there were TWO reviewers in the audience…It was painful. I was devistated because it’s just that good of a show…
Saturday night? we knocked it out of the ballpark. It was an amazing show. Hawk and Ringo and Company were present. Janet and Mitch were there…we even had repeat customers there for a second viewing. It was an amazing show. It made me very happy. We met the PseudoSisters and Company out to celebrate Maegen’s birthday. There was a nice mix of us, and we sat around and laughed and toasted birthdays and it was good.
Sunday was sleep in day, and boy did I. Met M’Lynn at Mama Roja’s for her birthday brunch. Oh my we ate and laughed and ate. It’s been eons since I’ve had any facetime with her and it just made my heart swell to sit across the table and visit and laugh. I’ve missed it.
Came home and instead of going to play selection committee I sent my picks and thoughts via email and promptly fell back asleep. I woke up around 6:30…it was getting dark and thought, well. There goes THAT day. I went and got some dinner and then fell asleep again watching the Closing Ceremonies. At 11, I finally gave up the ghost and just went to the bed. Jeez. I’m like Rip Van Winkle these days…just sleep sleep sleep.
Today, it’s chores day. I need to find a laundrymat and do a load or two, till my pipes get fixed. Hopefully this week. Heading out to get my paycheck and deposit it now, pay some bills, then back to pick up the house a bit…
I’ve been blessed with lots of facetime and friends this weekend. I’ve been blessed with stagetime and fulfilling performances. I have a paycheck that won’t suck because I worked my behind off last week, and I have so much more…I am full. To the brim with good stuffs.
Here’s todays NFTU:
Talk about magical rendezvous, Misti…
Right this very moment, on a distant farm, there basks a fig, a nut, or a berry, whose very life force will soon be your own. But that’s not all…
Right this very moment, there’s a gorgeous home on a splendid property with a spectacular view, whose roof will someday give you shelter. But that’s not all…
Right this very moment, there are beautiful souls on your beautiful planet, whom you do not even know, yet through your meanderings and theirs, paths will cross, love will be shared, and eternal friendships will be created. I’m still not done…
And nothing you do, or don’t do, can prevent these serendipities I’ve just shared, and so, so many more. Oh, Misti, you make me look so good… and not just the “basking nut” part.
Amen, hallelujah, rock me Amadeus –
The Universe
