Summer days...

First off, I apologize for not writing anything on my blog since March. I've had a pretty busy summer and honestly haven't thought about my blog in a while. I hope that all my followers have found other things to do in the meantime and haven't just been waiting for me to post something. ;)

Around the first of May, I decided I would audition for Starkville Community Theatre's summer musical revue. I had worked in the sound booth during the 2009 summer show and had done some other things with the theatre as well but I'd never actually been ON SCT's stage. The auditions went well but there were so many other very talented people who also auditioned that I didn't expect I'd get in. Thankfully I was wrong and was offered a role! :) I was BEYOND just "excited" about it. ;)

Rehearsals started and I had the most fun I've had in a while. Of course, it was a lot of work but it all paid off in the end. We had 7 performances (which is quite a few more than I'm used to) and it made me feel like a pro. ;) I now have a better idea of what a Broadway performer's schedule is like.

Being in the show definitely rekindled my love for theatre. I had forgotten how much I love it and how it is such a big part of who I am... :) Can't wait to audition for another show!

Just a day in May...

After being drenched for several days in a row, the weather has finally relented and given us a sunny (but hot) day. Right now I'm relaxing at the computer with my shoes and socks off while listening to a mockingbird calling outside. Even our family’s cat seems to be in a lazy mood. At the moment, she is snoozing in a chair. However, I'm sure she's just "recharging" so she can make mischief tonight. ;)

You know, cats really are such interesting and complicated creatures. This is most likely why they are my favorite animals. They are just so much fun to be around! I've even had one specific cat that was like my best friend. I know it sounds cheesy but it's true!

There are however, a couple of very important rules that you must go by if you are interested in getting a cat.

The Rules:

1. You never actually own a cat. He/she just lives with you.

2. You are your cat's personal maid so you'd better get used to it. :)

Basically, if you're able to get over some of the quirks, weird behavior, and bad habits that cats have (Hey, nobody is perfect!), then they can make excellent friends!
