It's hard losing the weight gained from this bad foot. Trying to do so without running seems futile. But today the scale was kind. Progress?

Getting close to the time when i break out the flannel sheets! Warm and toasty!

It's days like today when I miss having a little doggy friend. Saw a beagle/dachsund mix the other day, so cute.

Need a smile on your face? Come see the Drowsy Chaperone at Wheaton Drama. We'll do our best to make you smile awhile!

really?

Oh my. The show felt great tonight! Great audience. Great fun! I love this theatre thing!

No oil cans for me. I will rely on the power of positive thinking! I will wake up good as new! After all, tomorrow is another day!

I can do a mean tin man impression, whether I like it or not!

It's kind of nice having a regular day; work, straighten up the house, and much needed time at the gym. Ahhhh, a little breather.

Tech week is over; the show was well received; the Bears won; a wonderful weekend is over...and now a few days of much needed rest. :o)

"Sometimes I think maybe I keep going back to the places you'll be, but then i think, no, it's just me being me."

I feel so lucky to be in this show with such wonderful people, cast and crew. (Thanks, Craig!) Can't wait until tomorrow!

Uh-oh. My tree is already starting to get naked! :o(

Rain rain go away.....oh look! It worked!

Cue to cue; costumes and make up; photos; sitz pro; first dress rehearsal; Let's hope it all goes smoothly! But first - a little work out.

Able tenacity is a blessing and a curse.

So much to do. So little time! ...and it's raining.

My #1 draft pick in Fantasy football plays tonight. Come on, baby!

First full run through under our belts! Hooray!

I love the gentle sounds of bloach while driving along on beautiful days like today!

Answered my phone. The man said he had the wrong number. Caller ID said it was Little River Band. Do you think I just missed my big break?
