Just Passing the Time

Well, I'm sitting here in the lobby of the theater in Cleburne waiting for David to finish his rehearsal. I've done some school work, still have to rip out a hem in some curtains I'm making for Caden's room, but I decided what the heck! I may as well blog a little. I always intend to on Sundays, but this past week we had an "emergency" missionary dinner at our house, plus, I didn't feel good, so it slipped past me again.

Anyway, I am here in Cleburne while David rehearses for his rather large part (150 +lines) in Kiss and Tell. I am here because MTD is in Irving rehearsing for his part in Romeo and Juliet. He's supposed to be here because he also has a role in Kiss and Tell. They are both missing rehearsal in Hurst for their roles in My Fair Lady. And if being in all those plays isn't enough, MTD is also costuming 2 of the 3 plays he is in. We now have a large hand-made wooden rack in our sunroom witht lots of military costumes, etc. hanging on it. But before that they were on the table, and before that they were stacked on the ping pong table. Lucky didn't have to say a word to convince MTD to build the costume rack--he just kept sleeping on top of the costumes, and before you know it, we had a rack.

And people ask me why I don't do theater. I do "do" theater--just in the car!

Well, rehearsal is over! Gotta drive home. :)

You definitely DO theater in my book! What parts do your male folk have in My Fair Lady?

So glad we are friends!

Oh my goodness! You are one of the biggest theater "doers" I know. How can they possibly in that many shows along with regular work and school? Wow!

You said do do. I believe I got my mouth washed out with soap for saying that when we still lived in Lubbock.

Look at you, all handy with your laptop hanging out in Cleburne.

PLEASE email me a copy of schedules. I really want to make it out there to see them. Do they overlap at all?

Wow! You're a trooper! I admire your unwavering support.

Yes, but while the rest of us are enjoying working hard doing theatre things, you just have to watch. Or post blogs or something like that.
