Damnit, Janet!

Well folks...I finally did it.  I took the plunge and jumped back into the theater.  I auditioned for our community theater's performance of The Rocky Horror Show in August...and voila!  I got the part of Janet!  I was shocked.  Having not participated in any acting or singing in 14 years, I was very rusty...but clearly I wasn't too rusty to score a lead role!  Wow!  It was such a whirlwind of fun, frustration, hard work, and a lot of goofing around!  We had a fabulous cast, and I mean fabulous.  Not a single person acted as a PreMadonna- which never happens with a cast as large as ours.  I truly enjoyed getting to know each person who was a part of this fabulous show.  We ran 8 nights and sold out every night, but the opening!  And that was only shy of 5 seats!  Daniel came for dress rehearsal as well as closing night.  Mom and Jaime were here for the opening night and I had soooo many friendly faces in the crowd!  I felt extremely special every night I saw faces I recognized in the crowd.  With the prop bags and the participation of the crowd...the cast was jazzed every night!

I cannot wait to be involved in the next show...A music review of Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Caberet, Chess, and Starlight Express!  That will be in March of 2013, so pencil it in on your calendar now! 

Happy Halloween 2012

I am posting this a day late, but Foster wanted to send his Halloween wishes out to Blog-Land!  HE has been obsessed with his pumpkins, since he picked them out a couple weeks ago.  Every time we go somewhere, he has to go "Visit" his pumpkins when weget home.  He walks over and gets them off the front porch bench.  Then walks around the driveway with them in hand.  When I tell him to put them away, he does...such a good listener!  Daniel took him Trick or Treating because I performed in the RHPS on Halloween.  I will post some pictures from it soon!  But because Daniel took him...there are no photos i costume!  HA!

Halloween at VP 10

On October 17th, VP 10 hosted a Haunted Hanger.  The squadron worked really hard to decorate their very long hallway and many rooms with the spirit of Halloween and all that is haunted in mind!  Foster was a Pirate, as Daniel had picked!  He was great for about 1 minutes...then the lip came out and the quivering began.  It was pretty dark and spooky, so good job on that, guys!  Foster was able to trick or Treat for a bit, but Daniel had to hold him most of the time.  It was short lived, but fun.  And such a great event for kids about 3 years older!  Thanks VP-10!

Spooky and Cooky!

The afternoon of October 30th, I threw my annual Halloween Get Together for moms and tots!  We had such a fabulous turnout and the tots were adorable.  We had Dorothy, Minnie Mouse, Chewy, a Pirate, a Fireman, a Lion, a Bear, a Dinosaur, a Duck, a little Pumpkin, and so many fabulous ladies!  Thank you to all who attended out fun little function.  Instead of Tricks...

Pensacola or Bust!

Daniel and I spent the weekend of October 20th helping Cathy and Trevor celebrate there vows! Cathy, a former college roommate and ECU Pirate swimmer, has been a friend of ours for 14 years. When she got engaged to Trevor last fall, I was asked to be her Matron of Honor.  As her only attendant, I was honored to be such an important piece of her ceremony.

Country Road...

 Since Daniel missed last fall, we wanted to be sure that this year, he was included in all the fun "fall" activities Florida can provide, which unfortunately are not many.

 However, 45 minutes north west of Fernandina is a little pumpkin

Aunt Meme Comes to Town...

I cannot believe it has been two months since I last updated my blog.  It took Jaime coming to town and actually taking pictures of our son for me to post!  I have gotten so lazy with my picture taking...and without a photo, who wants to read the blog???

 In the last two months, foster has gotten another tooth and we have begun the transition from two naps down to one.  Most days he takes one nap, but the poop monster is definitely a major problem.  For, like most human beings...
