Sweetheart Saturday

Ari's been a great support this week. I've been directing a play as I've been discussing - and he has helped take care of Little Tyke, he brought me flowers tonight for closing night and waited while we cleaned the theatre, he came to the cast party ... he's such an awesome partner in life and I'm thrilled to have him. :) It's not big things, but it's the important little things he's good at, and that I need to appreciate more. I couldn't do something as unusual or personal or time-consuming as theatre without his support and understanding. On that level, he's awesome. :) So thanks honey! :D

Good goodness

So it's been a busy but happy couple of days. Some blessings to be thankful for

- I have awesome parents and in-laws who've helped with Liam this week as my show opened.
- "Echo" and the other one-acts going on for KWLT right now have been successful; well performed, well attended ... so happy.
- I was so pleased with the kids I tutor today as well, they've come so far this school year it's so gratifying to see them learn and grow. :)

On a personal note ...

We met LT's birth mom today. She's a sweet girl, and we feel so good about our role in his life, and the peace of mind we've been able to give her (and the peace of mind we've gotten from meeting and talking to her). It's a ... different ... situation, but it went as smoothly as humanly possible, and for that we're so thankful.

Now - having said that - I have a couple of friends and relatives on my mind right now who haven't been as lucky as us, and have had a rough few days or weeks (depending on who they are); I wish them peace, happiness and resolution. Only a couple of them ever read this (I think lol, I guess you never know), but I thought I'd put my support and prayers out there. :) Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend, and TGIF.

Shameless Shill #2: K-W Little Theatre's One Act Play weekend feat. "Echo"

I know I pimped this last post but I just spent my last two evenings at dress rehearsal, and the shows are AWESOME. Please come check out these evenings of fantastic entertainment, including "Echo", a lovely little one act directed by ... yes, moi! Deets are in the previous entry; hope to see you there!

"ECHO" This week

Hey anyone of you in the KW area - come check out the KW Little Theatre's one act plays out in St. Jacob's from Thursday to Saturday. It's at the Church Theatre on King Street, 8pm each of those nights plus a 2pm matinee on Saturday.

"Echo" is one of the shows in the evening, which I directed. It's a great little play with an awesome cast and a sweet opportunity to support local community theatre and local artists. (as well as to see why my blogging has faltered a bit the last week or so).

Hope to see you out there! :)

Sweetheart Saturday

Wow - proof I don't post anywhere near enough, I think this was only 2 or 3 entries ago this week lol. It's been a busy one. Which is what I want to write about for this Sweetheart Saturday (a bit early, but hey it's after midnight, that counts).

It's been a really busy and tired week for Ari and I. He's had work, Little Tyke's had two doctor's appointments (nothing wrong, just checkups etc.) and I'm heading into tech week on the show I'm directing. So no problems *between* us per se, but we've had a hard time connecting.

Until this morning when Ari - you know the one who goes to work etc. - woke me up with a snuggle with him and LT, and a bacon and egg breakfast before he headed off to work. Ari and I have many strengths in our marriage - we're both pretty good at understanding each other, we have a lot in common, similar values ... but we're both busy, and don't always put our marriage first. A moment like this is a great reminder that we all should make the effort to do those little things to connect with our loved ones - they take so little time (making breakfast took 10 mins.), something like that costs so little money, but it means so much.

Thank you honey!!! XXX

sigh ...

As if we needed any more proof that Rush Limbaugh is a jack@$$. Here's the bottom line: he can regret that Pres. Obama was elected; he can fear that he will fail; he can hope, as the analyst suggests, that liberalism proves itself to be non-functional so that conservativism can be re-proven and re-entrenched (won't happen, but he can hope).

But to wish for Barack Obama's failure, is to wish in essence for the failure of the nation. This is not the time for such rhetoric, and I'd say I'm disappointed and surprised in Limbaugh, but since the last is not true I will leave it at disappointed. As the title of this entry says - sigh ...

President Barack H. Obama

Congratulations to the 44th President of the United States.
Yes We Did.
Here's to a running start to a productive and positive 4 years.
