Am I Insane?
I must be insane. I just had a baby
less than two weeks ago and already I am trying to get geared up for TRF
2007. I sent out a note to all of last year's group leaders reminding them
to finish up and turn in their year end performer evaluations so I can get my
mitts on them and read through them. I am ready to get going for
2007! I am also in need of a new dress this year and have the materials
picked out, but need to purchase them. I am going EXTREMELY dark blue
velvet (almost black) with black velvet sleeve foldbacks, and a black satin with
stitch textured "checkerboard" pattern, or rather diamond shaped
pattern as my underskirt. It will be accented with clear crystals for full
on sparkle effect, and silver and or pewter colored trim. I just need
someone to make it for me as Nina is busy with the business and working her
other full time job. I am hoping to have it done by the end of
June/beginning of July, or in time for orientation so I can present my spiel
dressed appropriately. My last dress was made in 2002 (other than my
maternity dress) so I am due. The burgundy dress was a great dress and I
definitely got tons of use out of it. Heck, I even wore it at the 2006
orientation when I was about 2 months pregnant. Ha! It still fit at
that time. Oooo!! I'll be needing a corset as well, OR having the
custom made one altered. So if anyone out there is looking to be hired,
let me know! I also need to get geared up for a couple
of major UpStage Theatre projects as well. I've got a board meeting
scheduled for the 27th and lots to discuss at that. Then I need to get
ready for two late spring project: "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde" and the Variety Show/Houston Talent Showcase and Silent
Auction Fundraiser. I need to find a few more performing acts, get some
kind of script written, find a stage manager/assistant director, enlist the rest
of the board to get items from merchants for the silent auction, come up with a
publicity and ticket sale plan. I really don't want this project to
tank. And there are 300 seats in the theater to fill. If anyone out
there is looking to be my assistant in this I will gladly accept. Waiting
for my sinuses to clear up, my stomach to not hurt, my backside to feel better,
my hips to not be sore (soon, very soon I am sure) and to just feel better all
over. Maybe I shouldn't have come home from the hospital and started doing
housework and chores right away. Then again, I am going to be 38 in what,
three weeks? *Sigh* No more birthing babies for me! Song
