caused somewhat by being homesick I’m staying home from work today. I’ve got this headache and I’ve been really tired and cranky all weekend. I think if I’m not careful I’ll catch that flu that everyone has. I have to be careful, since I’ve only got nine days until this show. It’s raining terribly out…

and rewrote the whole show So I’ve made the set list. I have rehearsal in a couple of hours… and then I unveil it. I think it will go fine. I hope that everyone is excited about it. It pretty much has everyone in the show, and I’m looking forward to rehearsing it. A couple…

my dinner’s getting cold It’s raining outside. It’s been raining all day. We’ve got a bit of flooding, and this afternoon the power went out. I’m sort of hoping that the weather continues to be this bad (as it’s supposed to) because then maybe we’ll be stuck at home all weekend. Then I don’t have…

my worst manager story Obviously, the Scrabble fever is catching on… La Malinchista must be jealous of my “TEQUILA.” Last night’s show was terrible.

sometimes we get board. sometimes, we get dice. Happy Columbus Day to all. I had a great time with my mom over the weekend. I’m glad she came to visit. We watched old movies, we had meals, we sat and talked and had a great time. She left us with a new game: Scrabble. Not…

pittsburgh pirates? try giants Yesterday’s entry was never written due to a lengthy day of Scrabble playing and play watching and pot roast eating. Sorry. Eric’s mom called yesterday morning around eleven our time. She’s in Poland right now, on Sabbatical. There’s something about talking to someone in another country that makes you feel like…

No more waiting. The day finally arrived. The doctor saw me immediately. There was no waiting, there was no sitting around flipping through boring magazines or any of that normal doctor office stuff. That’s when I first got nervous. Eric and my mom were like, “So soon?” It was all so fast. “Don’t be scared,”…
