I realize it has been almost a month since I posted anything. So long that it took me a minute to remember my username and password! There hasn't really been so much going on that I can't blog, I have just found myself tired and lazy. But here's what's up.
My friends April, Sylvia and Riley took me with them to see The Book of Mormon - and it was brilliant! The singing, dancing, raucous humor and genius spoke to me so profoundly that it made me think about organized religion and what turns me off so much about it. Although they do make fun of Mormons, I think it is more a jab at the shortcomings of weak human beings as well as our own arrogance and lack of perspective. I really enjoyed it and am grateful for the opportunity to have seen it.
On Monday, I am auditioning for Glendale Centre Theatre's production of A Christmas Carol. When I was a kid, a played an orphan/singer/dancer, so it would be great to be able to play in this as an adult. We'll see what I get - I would like to be one of those people who just wants to audition for the experience of auditioning, but my fragile ego really wants to be cast.
I joined a vanpool. My commute is 60 miles, so not having to drive has been awesome. It is a lot less on gas, I am not killing my car, and I get an extra hour or two of sleep. It's wonderful. Yesterday I had to drive myself, and I had forgotten how much it sucks!
In a couple of weeks we might be welcoming a new family member. We got a line on a little boy pit bull (we already have a female), and might be able to take him home. There is too much love for just one, and we sure love the one we have. Best dogs ever.
Ok, that's it. Go back to the work you're pretending to do.

Break a leg tonight! So glad you came with us, and that you enjoyed the show! We are still talking about it as excitedly as we did that night. And I'm so with you on organized religion. It seems hell-bent on dividing us. Pun intended.
