Update....

Just a quick update. One of the cast members broke her leg & isn't supposed to walk on it for 6 mos. or something. So the part of the judge is being reserved for her in hopes that she will be able to do that part. I got my second part choice though. The part of the Evil Stepmother. She is the Big Bad Wolf's lawyer. I like this part too. The only thing I'm worried @ is memorizing the lines. I have 100 lines which is the most of the whole cast. Well gotta go. Later.

The Big Bad Musical......

So I just got back from the class & I'm no longer freaking out. Turns out there is a teen class & an adult class & we will be putting on separate performances. There were 8 people in my class & from what I understand there are 1-2 missing tonight. We will be doing a musical called "The big Bad Musical, a howling courtroom comedy". It's about the trial of the BIG Bad Wolf for eating red riding hood, blowing down the 3 little pigs houses, & steeling sheep from the boy who cried wolf. It's really cute, basicly for kids but anyone is welcome. I'm excited but still alittle nervous. She walked around while we were singing to hear each of us. What if I get a part w/ a solo? I'm not sure I can pull that off. I'm going to try to get the Judge part. I like her, she's funny. Anyway, the play is Dec. 6th & again on the 12th or 13th I'm not sure which one. Hope to see you there.

OMG......What am I doing?

OK, so one of the reasons that we moved to Bastrop was b/c there are so many activities for the kids. They put out a catalog of community activities every spring, summer, & fall. The classes are relatively cheap & range from physical activity, to cooking, to accounting & they are offered to kids & adults depending on the age range of the class. It's pretty cool. Sh will be taking Izzy to the dog obedience classes.
Looking through the catalog I decided that I would sign up for a class. Maybe I would meet some people & make friends here. All of my friends live hours from me & I miss having friends come over & hang out. Any way, I considered Yoga but the class is only offered on Sat. morning & we are usually busy on the weekend. Plus, you aren't really supposed to talk during Yoga so how would I make friends? Then I considered Hip-Hop dance, but it is offered Thurs. during the day when I am sleeping after work. Tai-Chi, maybe, adult basketball league, overlaps N's soccer & Sh's dog training.
There was one class that caught my eye, but could I possibly be that brave? Even though I'm an extreme extrovert, would I really be able to step out of my shell that much? I mean, it is something I've always wanted to do. As a matter of fact I often wonder if it was my true calling & I missed it. I get so jealous when I see other people doing it that I almost cry because I want so badly for that to be me.
For those of you that know me well you have probably already guessed what class I will be taking. Public Performance. From what I understand, based on our talents & the things that we learn in class, the students will be putting on a performance in December. My first class is tonight & I'm freaked. What if I have no talent? The class is for teens & adults. What if I'm the only adult? OMG, what am I doing?

Chicago....my kind of town!!!!

Last thurs I flew to Chicago for the weekend. My sis was there on business & invited me to come out for the weekend. We had such a great time.

Dog allergy update

It's been a little over a week since we changed the dog's food due to allergies & I'm amazed @ how well they are doing. Abby hasn't needed any of her allergy/steroid pills, she is hardly chewing her feet at all, & best of all she has had no more itchy breakouts on her tummy. She has gained some weight though. Izzy is also doing well she isn't scratching at her ears anymore. What's kinda funny too is that the dogs aren't as stinky anymore. If I'd have known it was this simple I would have bought expensive food a long time ago.
