Thursday, Apr. 26, 2007 - 3:17 p.m. Busy, busy, busy
Soooo many things to relay. I've
been immersed in stuff from UpStage to TRF to being a mom and have not had much
time to write things down. I guess I will start with the most unusual
news I have. Several years ago I asked the question: "When my
ex-boyfriend has his sex change, will that make him my
ex-girlfriend?" Which topic you are MORE than free to discuss at
length in the comments herein. Well, today that becomes a reality as
Audrey is having her final surgery, and yes, its the one that counts. She
is having it done by one of the preeminent pelvic reconstructive surgeons in the
US, Dr. Marci Bowers. Dr.
Bowers is an OB/GYN and is actually trans-gendered herself. I'm glad she's
having it done by her. I recently watched a program about Dr. Bowers and
it made me want to go to work for her. So my thoughts and prayers are with
Audrey today. Also having surgery today is my sister in
law who has a ruptured disk in her neck. Its to remove the disk and fuse
two vertebrae together with a disk of bone. Luckily they don't have to
take it from her hip. Its one of those surgeries that, if the doc slips
up, leaves you a paraplegic. But luckily, he didn't and she came through
fine. I can't wait for her post op crankiness. I have delved head first and seemingly
full time into organizing the UpStage
Theatre fund raiser. Its a variety show and silent auction. I
recruited all of the acts, wrote the show, and am directing the show. I
contacted everyone who has donated items for the auction and raffles, am
organizing all the items for auction including prepping all of the description
and bid sheets. I am actively publicizing the show. I organized
organized a reception to take place at an art gallery a few blocks away
including asking for donations of wine and champagne to be served at the
reception. I am writing the program which includes over 20 people's bios
and headshots.... for someone who doesn't have a regular job, I sure do
work a lot. Seriously, between being board president and organizing this
event, I am spending several hours a day every day just on UpStage. I will
be glad when the fundraiser is over. I honestly enjoy organizing events
like this, but, I am a stay at home mom and need to focus on my children more
than this project is allowing me. I think next year I will ask to do the
show and ask someone else to handle the silent auction. I will also
be glad when its over because then I will be able to gauge its success.
Right now my biggest fear is that no one shows up even though I know that won't
be the case. But can you imagine how incredible would it be to sell out a
300 seat venue? After May 19th I can breathe a huge sigh of relief. I've put in a request for a play I am
DYING to direct for UpStage, but unless we can increase our attendance, we may
need to stick to the tried and true classics that are sure thing audience
grabbers. However, I think "Anne of the Thousand Days"
is a sure thing in that we can ride the wave of "The Tudors" as well
as people liking costume dramas. I would hate to not be able to do
this show. The same week of the fundraiser, I begin
rehearsing "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"
which is a restaging of this
one hour production from a competition a few years ago. This time we will
be performing the entire script, and we won't have our original Dr. J with us as
his professional schedule won't allow for it. But we have found a new Dr.
J./Mr. H. and I am very much looking forward to getting back on the stage.
Its been 3 years since I appeared on stage, what with making babies and all that
goes along with that, and that's just too long. My sweet, sweet little boys are just
getting bigger all the time. Travis, well, what can I say about him?
He is the sweetest, brightest child, and just makes me laugh every time I turn
around, when he's not being a little poopie head. Brady is emerging from
this newborn fog and is no longer colicky, he smiles BIG, and is being so
interactive. He is SUCH a pretty baby. I am the luckiest mom alive. I am sure I have more to relay, but having
a very full plate to keep my brain busy here of late has pushed aside many
thoughts in the forefront of my mind. I have no song virus today and no
useless trivia. C'est la vie! |
