Counting Blessings

Ah...... My newsletter is out, Narnia practice is going well, Rummy is cute, and all is right with the world.

Hmm, hmm, hmm..... I'm in such a randomly good mood today, I just can't stop thinking about all the little things that are working together to make me happy......

What kind of happy drug am I on, you ask?

The kind that has these ingredients: getting everything done that I was supposed to yesterday; getting a goodnight's sleep; waking up at a decent time this morning; not having to rush anywhere untill after lunch; and, the secret ingredients: sunshine and orenge juice.

You laugh now, but just try it. It works wonders.

I can see you're looking slightly confused, still. Wondering if there's something you missed reading in one of our posts. Well, never fear, because you haven't missed it; we just haven't mentioned it yet.

Amanda and I, and two other girls, are going to be Wood Nymphs in 'The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe,' which our local theartre group is putting on for the first two weekends in May.

Originaly, we were suppose to be in just two sceanes, at the very begining, and the very end. We were supposed to dress up, look pretty, and move a few things around on the stage. We were supposed to be pretty, composed, graceful, and largly invisible.

Well, that lasted through the first rehersal. I think they got the hint, when every one of us 'graceful' Wood Nymphs banged into this big metal door as we were exiting the stage, one after another............ Repeatedly.

After that, I noticed that the directer quickly changed 'graceful and pretty' to 'bumbling and funny.'

But they seem to like us anyway, since they've decided to extend our stage time from two sceanes to being scattered through the entire play....

Oh well. At least we're good at being the random people in the background who get to react to what the other people are saying. Anyway, it's much more fun than before, and we're all much better at it.

Now, we actually have permission to make fun of the other characters behind their backs!

Mwaheheheheheeeeee.......
