Teen Interpretation Gone Wrong

April 27, 2012

Seventeen-year-old J came home from his after school job and found me upstairs in my room, putting away laundry*. I asked him about school and work and then we talked about family plans for the weekend. He mentioned that his girlfriend wanted to know if he was busy tonight. I said, “I don’t know. Are [...]

Do Us All A Favor?

April 25, 2012

As you can probably tell by the fact that I am posting less frequently than usual right now (and when I do post there’s a 50/50 chance it has something to do with LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER CHICAGO), I am swamped. SWAMPED, I tell ya. It’s nothing that hasn’t happened before. You might be thinking, [...]

April 23, 2012

Yesterday was a great day. We conducted our second and final formal rehearsal for the Chicago LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER show.

A Little Randomness For Your Thursday

April 19, 2012

I have a couple of post ideas saved in draft that I’ve been wanting to write, but my to-do list is keeping me from focusing for the length of time required to get them done. What that means is, you’re stuck with my brain dump today. I am gearing up for the second (and final!) [...]

No, YOU Got Stuck In That Dress.

April 14, 2012

I had a very important task to accomplish this morning: procuring something to wear as Co-Producer and emcee of “Listen To Your Mother (Chicago)”. Fun, right? Not really, when you’re a person who 1. doesn’t regularly shop for clothing 2. hates to pay full price for clothing for herself, therefore spending the most time in [...]
