First healthy eating and exercising victory: I have a pair of slacks I can no longer wear because they're too big and look like pjs. They were already a little too big before, but now it's ridiculous! My smallest pair of slacks almost look good...keep it coming!

It's going to be a lovely weekend, I just feel it! We had an awful storm last night, but today is sunny, breezy, and crisp to make up for it. It's the perfect day for a wedding, and I just so happen to be going to one in a couple of hours :). Anyway, I slept in and then went to a garage sale that was being held by a coworker. I found an incredible chair! I love antiques, and have had trouble finding a good chair for my living room. But lo and behold, here it was. I was unsure about the color at first, but I think it tones well with my painting. Here you are:
I think I mentioned in my last post that my kids were rocking it out in one-act. Well, we made it all the way to Area, where got alternate (3rd place). Everyone seemed pretty surprised, and many audience members thought we should have advanced. Ah well, the kids did great! Here's a picture of our trophy from Regionals and a classic picture of Mr. Denbow, our fearless lead Theatre Director.

Greetings!
Long time no update. I gained inspiration from Matthew and Emily's recent post, so I am likewise updating you on life.
Let's see, it's been extremely busy this semester. One-act play has been taking up a good deal of time. Our show Captain's and Courage did extremely well and we advanced all the way to Area (meaning we're in the top 25% in the state). Area competition was last night, and we ended up getting third. This means we didn't advance, but we are the alternate play if one of the other schools can't go. We even got a plaque. I'm not sure if you spell a trophy-plaque like this, or if this is the spelling for the plaque on your teeth...hmmm...either way it's amusing.
First Irving is still going swimmingly! I hadn't really been in the past 2 weeks because of Easter and theatre stuff, so today was lovely. Pastor John is beginning a series called the Red Letter Revolution and gave a very challenging word. We're studying Esther in The Road class and did a character study on the main players today. Afterward, the chicks all went to lunch, then some of us went shopping at New York and Company and took advantage of their 50% clearance sale. It rocked! I got a skirt, earrings, and shoes for the low price of $40. Heck yes. Angela, Robin, and I went to Starbucks and chatted afterward before Robin and I head to a goodbye dinner for some friends on praise team. And now, finally, I'm back at my messy apartment and trying to decide whether to lesson plan or clean first. Thus, my day!
Other activities this week:
- Stole a visit with my old roommie Amanda this week when she came to Dallas on a school trip
- Celebrated Jordan's ENGAGEMENT
- Signed up for my Speech/Communications certification test
- Took several much-needed naps
I'll try and update again this week with some funny theatre stories- I've got plenty :)
