Finally back from a completely exhausting day, but I got the entire ballet staged as well as the finale, so that on Monday we can easily finish the approximately eight pages that are left of a couple of scenes and then I can finish the changes on Typical Day, but a button on Jubilation and then review, so that on Tuesday we can assemble the show's various parts.

Whew! It's been crazy lately. Today I was feeling good because I knew we had accomplished what we wanted to get done. I went to give Callie her morning meds and she ran down by the deep freeze in the basement. I looked down and realized when I unplugged it to vacuum the basement, I forgot to plug it back in.....5 days earlier. OMG!!!

It was scary doing the ballet, but I just got on a roll and did it - took about four hours all told and I have to say there are some really funny things in it. I've never loved the film choreography - very dancy and jokey in only a dance way, save for one amusing gag with Earthquake, which I used, too. But that's the only thing and the rest is not dancy at all - just a bunch of fun bits strung together - I probably cut about twenty to thirty bars of music - it does go on. So, I think ours runs five to six minutes instead of close to eight. I've also always found it odd that Evil Eye Fleagle does a whammy before the final one, which robs that one of its power - so we don't do that.

I don't know which way the wind will blow in terms of my throat - it will either go away by tomorrow, or it won't. If it doesn't, that could be really problematic so please keep sending those excellent vibes and xylophones.

My first reaction was to plug it back in without looking and then throw everything away when it was frozen. But I decided that wasn't the best idea and opened the freezer. There wasn't that much in there but it was stinky. I threw out two 1/2 full garbage bags of food (too heavy for one bag) and since there had been ice in there, what was left was about 4 -6 inches of water with gross stuff floating in it. So, I baled the water and dried it out with paper towels. I propped it open a little so it wouldn't get moldy, but so the cats couldn't get into it.

After working until about 2:00, I came home and raked the entire front yard and got it ready for seed

I think every muscle in my body hurts...

Cillaliz · « **Reply #159 on:** April 25, 2014, 08:02:29 PM »

Then I took a shower, got a hot fudge sundae (treat for raking) and went to the book sale

I was so sore I could only carry 11 books.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #162 on:** April 25, 2014, 08:05:19 PM »

I'm working the sale from 10-1 tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll figure out a way to carry more

Cillaliz · « **Reply #163 on:** April 25, 2014, 08:07:51 PM »

When I came home I put down grass seed. It's supposed to start raining tomorrow night and rain for 4 days, I had to get the yard done. Hopefully we'll see rain. It'll be the first time in years it's rained 4 days in a row.

Many thanks to RYacko for his more than kind words about Red Gold. It's really nice to hear.

THAT is amazing and fantastic news. Let's hope they retain what they've learned.

How unfortunate about the lost food, DR Cillaliz. Not to mention the inconvenience.

A gold star to DC Callie for alerting you to the situation.

Oh Cilla I am so sorry to hear about the deep freeze fiasco -

Callie got double treats this morning and was waiting for more treats every time I came in the house, lol

Thanks Vixmom. I am truly thankful that I discovered it this morning before it got moldy. I'll still clean it out with bleach water just to make sure it's disinfected. I was meaning to clean it out, just didn't think it would be this way

Cillaliz · « **Reply #172 on:** April 25, 2014, 08:26:57 PM »

I, too enjoyed Red Gold.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #173 on:** April 25, 2014, 08:27:58 PM »

I like Weather Nation. They just said the severe storm threat goes south from Siouxland. I've never heard the Weather Channel call us Siouxland, which is what we go by

Cillaliz · « **Reply #174 on:** April 25, 2014, 08:54:53 PM »

So that's all I know. Good night

Good evening.

Show was great. Actually, from what everyone said, and judging by audience reaction, it was superb. It's so odd how this happens, but from the opening of the curtain, you could tell that this audience (a full house, which they don't always manage to get there) was hungry for it, ready for it, AND completely tuned in. Applause was thunderous throughout, to the point that I think it drowned out the woo-hooing, and the "now standard and obligatory" standing ovation was instantaneous -- it was like someone had installed Tinglers in every seat and turned them up to eleven just as the Bows lighting came up. Probably the best opening night the school has ever had, and I truly hope the kids can avoid riding on those laurels (and hearty welcomes) tomorrow night, and keep that standard up.

Oh, Jane, I asked the guy who set up the children's book section about the Cleaver book. He said he didn't see anything like that. Since he saw every book, I'm guessing it's not there, but I'll look. He did say there's a book about a farting dog, and that it was a good book. I didn't take the time to look for it, lol

Cillaliz · « **Reply #177 on:** April 25, 2014, 08:58:44 PM »

It must be this one

ChasSmith · « **Reply #178 on:** April 25, 2014, 09:00:02 PM »

I swear, DR Elmore has infinite quantities of the greatest damned stories. How are those memoirs coming along?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #179 on:** April 25, 2014, 09:02:43 PM »

Well, kids, I'm plumb tuckered out and so I must call it a night.

It is: a night.

There, I did it.
