Do you have any tricks or habits to help you learn your lines? Do you have any tips for combatting stage fright?  Mine is actually late onset stage fright, I didn’t experience it until I was in my 40s.

Wow, what a night…

What a night last night.  P was traveling, so I watched returns with just the two kittens.  I watched until after McCain’s concession speech and Obama’s acceptance speech.  One of my favorite moments was when Obama reminded his kids that a new puppy was coming to the White House with them…wonder what kind of dog […]

Windy Wednesday…

As I sit here in the dark morning, the wind is howling outside my windows…yikes!  It isn’t even November yet!  Temps are “normal” but with wind chill figured in, the meteorologist this morning said to take a warm coat. Speaking of warm, I have had a sharp, throbbing pain in my right center right buttock […]

Monday morning, can’t trust that day…

It is so dark in the mornings these days.  Normally, I am a morning person…early to bed, early to rise. But, a combination of late-night baseball playoffs/World Series, menopausal middle-of-the-night wakefulness and the early-morning darkness, I do not want to get out of bed.  Woe is me! Rehearsals for Steel Magnolias are going well.  I […]

I’m stalling…

It is 9:30am on Saturday and I should be outside staining the repaired trim work P just finished.  Instead, I am wallowing in kittens (asleep on my legs), watching FoodTV, trying to let the caffeine and Focalin kick in.  Naughty me… This has been a tough week, workwise.  I work for a real estate lawyer […]

We are still hopelessly, shamelessly in love with Puck and Phoebe…they are now almost 3 months old and are still full of kittenish bounce and frisk.  As they get older, though, we approach the moment that makes me very nervous…reopening the cat door to the basement which is open to the outdoors.  I grew up […]

Ahhhhhh…

I LOVE autumn in New England.  I have a half hour drive from home to work, through woods and streams and fields.  The leaves are turning, the corn fields are harvested and full of canada geese, and every now and again I spot a family of deer strolling across a grassy meadow.  The smell of […]

Hump day…

Such an odd and confusing time right now.  I am a news hound and can’t seem to keep my eyes off the google news page and NYTimes page and my ears off radio and TV.  The various markets are, to put it mildly, adjusting downward, which means our retirement funds are adjusting downwards, as well; […]

Monday, Monday…

Politics alert…I didn’t mean to, but I do go on a bit about politics below… Here I lie, in my bed, surrounded by 10 days worth of my husband’s clothing, as he packs for a trip.  On TV is Morning Joe, I have already scanned my online NYTimes and am caught up on email.  It […]

My attention has been so scattered lately, it has been hard to settle down to blog.  We have been glued to MSNBC and other news outlets for news on the economy and the election campaigns.  Plus, the Red Sox season is winding down, while the Patriots are winding up.  Tom Brady is gone, which makes […]
