Nov 27. - Bunnies

           It's going to be an interesting thing to have bunnies.  Matt and the kids left this afternoon to go to various places.  First to go get 8 bunnies for the boys agriculture class and then to a football game in Throckmorton.   I decided this morning to not go to the game (over three hours away) because that's a lot of driving and my back isn't good on those long drives anymore. :(
           As far as the game went they (Throckmorton) use the 45 mercy rule.  If there is at least a 45 minute spread, they then end the game.  Matt told me that they had to wait until after half time to get the spread.  Wow.  What a massacre! 
           I hate it that I wasn't able to go; however, what did I get done today?  I worked on a present for one of my friends and I also got to watch a bunch of TV that I wanted to see - some CSI and even some Law and Order - SVU.  
           I mostly laid around in the bed and just relaxed the back.  It was really just relaxing and nice to be able to not doing anything really. 
           I at least hope that I can finish up the project for my friend quickly because I'd like to get it to him by Christmas. :)

Nov. 26 - Just things...

          I have a lot of things to put into my blogger.  I have been writing my thoughts in a notebook and I need to put them in here.  That way I have a log of it and I won't forget the things that I wrote down - or lose them.
           I saw this on Jerry's facebook this morning:  "WORLD PREMIERE!  First public performance anywhere!  CRT presents its lavish new production of Mark Twain's THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER! A two hour holiday special - coast to coast - on Sirius 117 and XM 163 at 7PM EST."
           What on earth is this man trying to do? Give me a friggin' conniption fit?  That sounds so formal - so cool! :)  I worked on this show back in May/June and finally got it all finished just a few weeks ago.  (I believe that I have some things written in my notebook that I wrote about this particular audio.  I may not even put it in here, because I was a bit frustrated and more than a bit irritated with things in general when I wrote it and I will have to take the explicit words out of it.)
           Thank goodness for getting things out of the system, huh?

Nov. 23

Our day at school has already started off rather weirdly. We had an electrical fire in one of the air conditioning systems. We had to stand outside until almost 9:30. Let me tell you it was hot outside! And what was I dressed in? Black. Bleck. Talk about hot!!

At least we were able to come back inside and get in the cool air once more. Yay for air conditioning!

We also had our Thanksgiving meal by the staff. It was really good, too!

I had a teacher talk to me about an idea that she had after going to a conference. It was about how to change up the room and have various things up on the wall that remind us of us – the things we like – what makes us who we are. So, what does that mean for me? What would my room be? A cafĂ©? A room? A blank slate?

I love movies – of all kinds. Perhaps a theater? A stage? A play? What would be on the walls then? Posters? What?

I also like music. So what would it be then? Pictures of all the various singers I like? Hmmm.

I also like to write. Do I put up authors who inspired me?

Last, but not the least – I’m a producer for Colonial Theatre and it’s something important as well. Do I put up plays that I’ve done? Moonfleet? Prince and the Pauper? Father Brown? Jarrem Lee? Treasure Island?

What would my room be? In which I can incorporate everything I’ve been talking about here? What would it be? Hmmmm….

I started my day by listening to an audio by Colonial in the car on the way to school. Jerry told me to make sure that the kids were not around when I listened to it. I can definitely understand why. BARRYMORE is a really great audio! I so need to email Jerry today and let him know that I listened to it.

Jerry is a very good actor. I wish that I could have seen him when he was still on stage. I think that I would have really enjoyed watching him. I’m just glad that I was lucky enough to make the grade to be working with Colonial. Very lucky, indeed. I do believe that is the ONLY thing that I can honestly thank Chris Snyder for. T’were it not for him “introducing” me to Jerry – I wouldn’t have “met” and be working for a great audio company!
