Wife, mother, laugh-er at very inopportune moments, and matchmaker. I am an excessive user of commas and exclamation marks. I once won March Madness despite knowing nothing about basketball, and I know how to find all the best Dunkin Donuts coupons. Clearly my talents are just endless.

We shall rename Charlotte’s Web to Sarah’s Egg Sac

The latest of AB’s shows, Charlotte’s Web, has been performed. 

She had to wear a bow and pearl necklace which delighted me to no end. She was less than thrilled.
This was the first production where Annabelle had so many lines, and she studied as if she was up for the bar exam. Her script went everywhere with her. 

Normally I am not welcome in the inner sactum that is the drama world. The details of every production must be a surprise. I barely even run lines with her as that’s knowing too much. I love show biz. I have a history of acting and being a stage manager in my youth so it’s not like I don’t want to help. In this situation, I’ve put aside myself and what the actor requests she normally gets. This show, however, I helped build the barn, wove a spider web, and accidently found myself making a spider sac. I asked the director how she planned on making the sac and she said, “Well, I need it to be about this big and you can make it out of anything spherical you think would work.” Ok, then. I’ll whip out my spidey skilz. I’m still haunted by the spiders I saw while googling to get an accurate pictures. I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. I shone like the sun every time it appeared. Unlike Charlotte, I do not know how to be humble when it comes to the egg sac.

+ I went to a new zumba class today. I dropped AB off at theater camp down the road from the studio when the class was about to start, so I had no excuse not to go. I checked the schedule online to be sure it wasn't Silver Sneakers senior zumba and it wasn't, but the...

Because my birthday falls on Memorial Day weekend, Christopher had an extra day off work and we were able to visit a lighthouse and beach in Florida. Carol had Grandma call me to say happy birthday. That night, my facetime with Autumn and Joanna morphed into a...

finished with fourth

Another school year has come to an end. Sarah's carpool karaoke is still going strong. The two mornings I drove AB to school, I still sang her the same two songs I've been singing since she began school. I constantly worried she'd ask me to stop singing, but we're...
