First - I have some friends who lost their only daughter in June. Now they're oldest son is in the hospital with bacterial meningitis. The infection has spread to his heart, and he will need surgery to repair or replace a couple valves in his heart - which is very risky combined with the meningitis. He could really use a miracle! So, if you believe in prayer, please say some for this family.
We went to the high school this weekend to see the musical - they did The King and I. This was the first year Jeffrey didn't run sound in years. He did it all the time Cory was in the high school plays, and he even did it last year after Cory wasn't in it any more. This year he just didn't have time. It's a shame really, because even though there was supposedly some kind of sound system and mics set up, it was still really hard to hear what they were saying.
It also just isn't the same to see a play without Cory in it. The kids who were in it did an OK job, they knew their lines and such, but they're not actors. It's a high school production in a school without a real drama department. They do the best they can with what they have. Actually, that's not true - they could do a lot better if they'd involve more parents and families instead of relying on the same few to do everything every time - which is partly why they didn't have a decent sound system or anybody to run it. The boy who played the King has an uncle who could have run the sound - he's done it for several schools and would probably have been happy to do it for his nephew's play - but they didn't know he was needed. Oh well...
I got my hair cut today. It was just getting a bit unruly and needed trimmed back up. I'm really liking these layers and still trying to figure out where the curls came from. Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter.
I put the flannel sheets on the bed yesterday - just in time, it sounds like. It's been fairly mild, so much that I wore a sweatshirt today and didn't even need a jacket. But things are gonna change. They're talking cold and wind chill starting tomorrow, and a high of 36° on Thursday. I guess it is that time of year...
I heard somewhere the other day that if you're not hungry enough to eat an apple, then you're not really hungry. It really didn't make sense to me. Anybody? Speaking of apples, I bought some really good ones today - crisp and tart. Apples make really good snacks!
There's this whole 'Recall the Governor' thing happening in Wisconsin right now. I really don't understand it. It just seems like all people want to do is complain these days. They don't like the governor? When his term is up, they have the opportunity to vote someone else in. But no, they can't wait, and it just seems ridiculous and a huge waste of time and money. Seems like there are a lot of childish people in this state.
Tune in next week. There are probably things I will remember as soon as I hit 'Publish' but I can't think of them now.
