Oh hai!
Could someone message the little ice-pick wielding dudes currently stabbing me in the lower back and tell them to knock it off? I appreciate it! I meant to let you all know some things yesterday, but then ice-pick wielding dudes, and I sooooooooorta lost focus! Haha! But I’m soldiering through today, for I know you can’t live without my special brand of snarkitude, right? Right!
No snarking necessary here though – because it’s all about Congrats!
1. Peppermist got a part in Grease! While she was certain that everyone who auditioned got a part in the Chorus like she did, I know for a fact that they did NOT, which means she beat out quite a few in order to snag her spot! And the Chorus for this show is HUGE, with MANY songs, and a LOT of stage time!
Her friends all bailed on her – which makes me wanna wap ’em in the head – and as a result Peppermist is a little nervous with each rehersal, but she can’t deny that she comes home with a smile. They’ve worked with her one scheduling conflict (tap dance on tuesdays) and are genuinely thrilled to have her.
And it gets conversations like this:
Me: How was practice?
Peppermist: Awkward! We learned the rest of the choreography for “We Go Together” – which is partner work! I was standing there sorta like “Hm, Ihave no partner, I’ll just stand here, embarrassed” and then there was a guy next to me who was sorta like “Hm, I have no partner, I’ll just stand here, embarrassed” and lo, we became partners.
Me: OH OH OH! WAS HE CUTE?
Peppermist: OMG MOM.
Me: WAS HE?
Peppermist: I guess.
Me: What’s his name?
Peppermist: I don’t know! What, you expected us to TALK?!
Me:…no. of course not, child. That’d be INSANITY right there…
So she’s, ya know, making friends and influencing people, just as she should. 🙂
2. The always lovely Deana dropped me a note this morning to let me know who won the GE Strong as Steel Sweepstakes! Congrats go to Katie H. from Fort Worth, TX (who’s chosen a fridge!) who won through Bargain Hunting Moms! We’re so happy for you both – and only a TEENY TINY LITTLE BIT TOTALLY OMG JEALOUS.
3. Watch this space, cuz guess what? it’s SWIM TEAM TIME! First meet on Saturday in Seward, which means Nana, the pup and I, along with Auntie and her kiddos will be carpooling up that direction WAY early on Saturday morning. So if you hear many cheers wafting your way from up north? It’s the crazy lady with the camera, screamin like crazy for all my Swim Team kiddos. 🙂
And now I’m gonna go curl up against my hot water bottle and listen to GLEE sountrack for a while. Have a great day, ya’ll!
Men of a Certain Age
Hey parents! Here’s something just for you! There’s a new show premiering on TNT tonight, that all of us can relate a little too. It’s the story of our husbands, brothers, best friends – here’s the official blurb: John Lennon once wrote, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” For three men […]
…Lousy with Virginity…
So, The Boy dropped Peppermist off for her auditions, where she was to meet her friends. I got a call about five minutes later, to direct her where to go, where the auditions were being held, and talk her through a couple things. Then? A second call, where she tells me her friends bailed on […]
Tell me about it…. stud!
Oh, the house is atwitter today, with random comments like this: “I don’t drink, swear, I don’t rat mah hair, I get sick from one ciggarrette! Keep you’re filthy paws of my silky drawers! Would you pull that on Annette?” “Elvis! Elvis! Let me be! Keep that pelvis far away from me!” And of course […]
O HAI DECEMBER!
….so remember when I woke up a few week ago and went “ew, snow” and then it was like 15 degrees below zero and brrr cold and no more snow, and stuff? And I was still walking around in just sandals and socks? Yeah, remember that? This morning we woke up to THIS. Yeah. And […]
