My Life as a 44-year-old College Student

OK – zombie personifications are over. I slept until 8:00AM and it was glorious!
Time to get cracking on household paperwork, followed by homework – but first – I get to have my OWN “La Marzocco” http://www.lamarzocco.com/indexb.html espresso machine, organic cappuccino with four shots. Oh yeah baby!
Wow, has my day ever been sidetracked! I made Paul breakfast, cleaned up around the kitchen and went upstairs to put away the new shoes.
Upon entering the closet, I found myself unable to stop myself from going for the big closet purge.
After two hours of work, I’d purged at least 12 pairs of pants, 3 skirts, 7 jackets, 5 shirts a purse and 15 pairs of shoes.
Clearly, this closet purge was needed and I am happier with the now uncluttered space.
I have surplus hangers and shoeboxes to fill with current fashion, woo-hoo! Now, if I only had the time to SHOP for current fashion!
To the basement for household paperwork – away!
While many things remain unfinished in the basement, they will have to wait until tomorrow.
We have Urinetown this evening and several friends are joining us to see the show.
We joined our friends for dinner before Urinetown and had a nice chance to catch up. The dinner was lively (we were a group of 11) and we just made it to curtain with barely 5 minutes to spare. Marlo was missed at dinner, but she had to be at 5:00PM call to dress and prepare for the show.
Urinetown had a very large audience tonight. The show was excellent and our friends said that there were times they had to remind themselves that they weren’t watching a Broadway show, but were watching kids in high school.
I noticed some tech problems with lighting and thought the guys at the soundboard were having issues during the second act, but all in all, they all did a really nice job.
Candy Brown the amazing choreographer was in the audience tonight and I introduced myself. I wanted her to know how much Marlo has enjoyed working with her. She was absolutely lovely to talk to and said that sometimes she thought the kids must despise her because she worked them so hard. Marlo definitely loved every minute of it J
The Thespian adjudication board attended last nights show and qualified Urinetown for the state Thespian competition!
The kids are very excited about competing and hope to win at state so they can take the show to nationals. How cool is that!
We made it home late and flopped into bed. I’ve got to get stuff done tomorrow. Thank God there will be no driving to Denver and I will have the entire day to get caught up!
