Good morning,
RS - Drive safe.
Katmouse - Have a nice lunch with the ladies. Where are you dining at day?
Poirot - It's the winter that won't end.
Manda - That is so cool. Is your cousin a guest star?
OC - I hope today is a good day for you and your husband. Think about you often and hope you have a big circle of support which I'm sure you do after being where you are at for 40 years.
Robinsnest - Enjoy the day working from home.
The weather here has been hovering around 0*C (32*F) plus or minus a few and the sun has been shining, which is always nice.
These are my last few days in the building I've been in for the last 9 years as we are moving to a new building downtown. There are plus and minus to moving to this new building and majority are positive. Where I work now is a block from my husband, we having lunches together, and we are not in a building with many other government employees, which is nice. I say this because the building we are moving is a government building and more active in union issues, more activists, and I am not about any of that stuff. I just want to come in, do my job, and not be a part of all that.
On the plus side to moving is I will have two windows by my office that overlook the river and downtown, the food court near me is brand new in Canada’s second tallest building and has so many different choices, new people, and our offices are so much brighter, so I’m actually looking forward to this.
Mary Poppins has been very well received and almost every show has been sold out. There was a review/feedback that was shared with the cast and crew and was very complimentary. I’ve only ever had one review for Footloose when I played Reverend Shaw Moore and it was meh, however this one made me go, “Holy Schmidt”!! It was pretty cool to read that my character came across in the way I wanted it to and that she said she actually had tears in her eyes at the end when I realized what was important. WOW!! And the things she said about the entire cast, crew, stage were just really great to read and affirms the months of hard work everyone puts into putting shows on hoping they are enjoyed.
We have two more shows this weekend, a party after the final show, then return to the theatre on Sunday to take down the sets, stage, lights, etc. It will be nice to have my nights and weekends free and my husband is looking forward to not planning anything! Ha, did he forget who he married??!!?? On March 24th we are entered into the Canmore Amazing Race put on by one of the guys in the play who has his own event planning company. So I’ve rented a room at one of the Mountain Lodges and we will be participating in mental and physical challenges, in costume!!
Our team name is E-Lemon-ators. I have been told that one of the challenges will be to eat two crickets. BLECH!! I’ve had chocolate covered crickets, well I gave them to my nieces and nephews then told afterwards what they were. Ha, ha, ha, ha, only uncles can get away with stuff like that. So it’ll be interesting to see how we work together. I’m a team sport person and my husband is more of a solo sport person, like badminton and well, not so sports oriented.
I’m more competitive and he couldn’t be bothered, so he knows he has an out should he decide that he just does not want to do this but needs to let me know so I can find another partner. He’ll let me know by March 10 if he is not going to follow through with it but I hope he does. I think this’ll be a lot of fun.
Hope everyone has a nice day and rest of the week.
I hope that everyone is having a fabulous day. Today has been an okay day. I went to work which was busy, came home and had dinner. After dinner I did a few things around the house that needed to get done and right now I am kicking up my feet and relaxing. Only two more days and it's the weekend again. YAY!
