Hey all. Well, it is a typical Tuesday, but here in Tacoma, we are expecting SNOW. I am so hoping it will just dump the white stuff on us. We don't get enough of it here - perhaps a light dusting once per year! So, wish us well on that one.
Today was very good at work. Today was great all the way around. Work was good. Home was good. The kids and I hung out as Mom and the Nanny went to play BINGO. Although it doesn't net a bunch of cash, we have won over a grand playing the silly game.
In spite of a stinkin' sore throat, I got home, ate quickly, went and picked up my son at a friends house, went to the video store for a movie and a couple of PS II games and then came home for the night. Once home, I did the dinner dishes, washed a load of laundry, and took care of some other "chores" around the house and now the rest of the night is mine. Man, I love this part.
Wanted to write a note on the weblog. As I said earlier..it's a goal to write something each night...We'll see how that goes...
Anyhow...Although it's nice to have "my life back" it's sad that our production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat has come to an end. It's all I knew since August. Then on December 23, we took our final bows. Sad night. Anyhow, this weekend, all the cast members wil be signing posters for the kids who rotated into and out of the production. 60 of them total. From an area elementary school. It was great. The kids loved being back stage and on stage with the "real" actors. hehehehhe...
As a result of that production, I made some really good friends. And, as a result of that show, I lost a very good, close friend. Having never been through the loss of a very close friend before, it was a tough blow. It was wierd learning to go through the emotions on that experience. Once I got past the hurt, I went through the denial (isn't that backwards?). Then I moved through the sarcastic stage. That was a fun one. Making little jabs when I thought I could get away with it. That was so stupid. Good thing that went by quickly. Oh yeah...let's not forget the pissed off stage. It made me pissed off that my friend dumped me as a friend. I was a great friend. When he needed support, my family and I were there. When he needed cash, we were there. When he needed a cell phone and couldn't pay the bill, we were there. We didn't do it for anything in return...but I did appreciate the friendship...Sadly, that's now gone. But I am moving on.
One of the great acquaintenaces I had for a very short time during that performance was with the gal who played the Narrator. In fact, she is the one who taught me about weblogs. I knew nothing about them before she showed me hers. And, that led to our demise, too. I shared the fact that she had one with my former best friend. He shared that with others and well, you can sure bet when it got back to her she was ticked. Sadly, though, my thought was and still is...if it's on the world wide web, anyone can get to it and anyone can read it. And, if they "stumble" across it, they will read it. H-e-l-l-o!!!
Well..one more load of laundry to fold and put away and I've got some reading to do. I'm going to start the Purpose Driven Life. Wish me luck and good follow-through. I'll need it. hehehehe...
