Things on my mind 3/25/2009

It’s been yet another two weeks and some more things have happened..
First of all, let’s talk about the house. We got all our kitchen cabinets in and set, they look great (sorry no pictures today). We are supposed to have the counter tops in and mounted this weekend. After that, we have just a few rooms left to put trim up in. The original woodwork trim that we pulled out, cleaned, sanded and stained are going back up. We have the hallway, Jake’s room and some of the dinning room done. We need to finish up Jennifer’s room, the living and dinning room. It’s looking much better.
Also last week I started to work at TCR again. We are doing the play Fences. It’s a pretty powerful show, it’s actually pretty good. As always there are little things that happen that make you roll your eyes.. and then we have the tech problems. Last weeks tech problems were fun. We had a small power surge during our opening night and made the whole of the stage lights flicker on and off (like someone flipping a switch on and off) for the whole of the second act. On Sunday we had sound issues, the computer that runs the sound was having memory issues and was not found until 10 minutes before house opened. We did get that fixed up and working just fine however.
Coming up next is the closing of Fences this weekend (the 29th) and hopefully I’ll be able to get some good quality time in Azeroth, with LittleSister and in Paradise City.. Yes that’s right, I’m sure some of you got the references out there.
As well, I’ve started a new knitting blog and a new project as well. I’m close to half done with it. This is something, currently, I’m working on while waiting for things to happen backstage (between scene changes, and during intermission).
Well once again, it’s been a couple of weeks.. I’ve been lax in getting information out to my public, as small as it is..
We are doing VERY good on the house. The floors are done, we got lots of furniture in, the electrical is done, the appliances are in and we are just waiting to get our cabinets and countertops in.
I took my first tour of the new TCR building, TCR Lindale. It’s a nice little space, very intimate and very nice for what we do. I’m excited to be getting back into working at TCR. I’ve missed my time away from TCR and hope that we can have lots more fun in the coming years.
On a side note, I’ve been watching more and more TV through hulu. Watching Late Night with Jimmy Falon, which didn’t interest me at first.. but after the 5th show.. he’s gotten better. I think he’s finaly getting more comfortable in his late night position. Also caught up on my Family Guy, which I’ve never really watched but seem to enjoy.
Anyway.. we hope to have the house done here within a month.. Many pics to come when that happens. More to come next week!
