The show, however exhausting it may be, is good though. H has lines and says them loudly, clearly and in character. She knows all her dances spot on. Now all we have to do is hope that "someone" notices and that it might lead to some more challenging roles in the future. Well that, and enjoy the show!
All day I've been getting the feeling I need to be somewhere tonight - but I have nowhere I have to go! Dinner can be at home - all of us together! Food from the grocery rather than a restaurant - no making do with fast food, no greasy pizza, slimy pasta or hurried pastries on the run!
I need a salad. Green, leafy, fresh, cool, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers - on the patio, in the cool evening, iced tea, sounds of water splashing in the fountain, lots of time, nowhere to be except in the moment. sigh...
Speaking of salads - H is considering becoming a vegetarian - not sure of the reason, but I can't imagine that it would be a bad thing for her to think more about what she's eating. Making smart decisions (I hope) about what makes up a good and balanced diet. Perhaps expanding her tiny repertoire of edible items. T and I have eschewed meat for some periods of time in our lives before this, but the whole vegetarian thing has been difficult when not everyone in the family is on the same page. Don't think W is ready to go totally in that direction, but I'm pretty sure he'd be willing to skip the meat at home - and that should make it all work.
I'm thinking I'll sit with the daughters and see what we can come up with to make this happen. Strike while the iron is hot as they say.
Didja see that tomato up there? It's the first one of the season. Some of us will be
