Well, the dinner theater is over. Whew! What a relief. Frankly, I can't believe how well it went. It was so unbelieveably smooth compared to the two previous years. Yeah, we had some typical Baptist griping from one or two women, but really, even that was minor. Very happy time for our church family, I think.
Overall I would consider the whole thing a big success. The sets were the best yet, the choir did exceptionally well (the addition of a couple of powerhouse vocalists did help), the actors did well, the food was great, the turnout was high.....what more can we ask for?
It was really cute to watch two of the little boy actors - you know how kids are......they forget they are wearing countryman (Garth Brooks-style) microphones. One boy says the other boy's line and he doesn't appreciate it so he proceeds to tell him so right there for the audience to hear! So cute. You should have heard them sing "Silent Night" accapella also. Hilarious. One little boy was pretty good with the tune, but couldn't remember the words. The other couldn't/wouldn't sing the tune (he spoke it) and remembered the words fine. Great combination.
Overall Christmas has been really nice and un-stressful thus far. I am pleased. I want to go to Ariton and see their "Christmas City" this weekend. But otherwise, I just hope to stay home as much as possible, play our Wii and chill out.
No other news really. I am very, very excited that my house might get finished painted this weekend. One of clients who is a painter is going to come over and try to finish it (providing it doesn't rain). If she does a good job then she will have a lot more work from me. I want my garage finished, my small bathroom redone and my office repainted. We are going to move some furniture around after the tree comes down and move our piano into our grand room, so that we can actually USE it with guests, so that will be nice, but moving it will be a beast. Seems like I am always looking for a new thing to do at home. Maybe that is part of being female. The latest addition to my list is that I need/want a new living suite. I want leather - they say that leather is truly the best for pets and small children (providing you buy quality). We have pretty fabric couches, but fabric is NOT the best for animals and our look terrible already. I was saddened (sort of) to discover a hole in one of the cushions already and they aren't even three years old!! But this does give me an excuse to start shopping. If anyone has any input on leather furniture, please let me know.
Okay, well I'll try to work now. It's been kind of a tough day, tough week, whatever. I can make myself feel better and start looking forward to our next trip now though......I think we are going to Yosemite and touring California in August! Woo hoo!
