The future wasn't bright.

Sorry, once again, I'm sorry!!! It's not that I don't want to update, I promise. No, I just can't at work, and my internet at home is doing this ridiculously slow and never quite right thing. Gah!

Have you ever had a bad day? Have you ever had a bad day that turned into a week? Have you ever had a bad week turn into three? This isn't my first time, but it has been awhile. I've just had a lot of stressfull little things to deal with a lot lately, as well as some pretty big things coming my way since THE TOOTH!!!! Oi vey. Job stuff, friend stuff, financial stuff, theatre stuff, church stuff; you name it, I think I'm going through it.

But, there are positive things as well. Like my five year old niece Leigha, who's in her first play! The Missoula Children's Theatre is out in Kansas this week, and Leigha's one of the 40 some who made the show out of the 100+ kids there. That's my 5 year old niece for you! She got on the phone to tell me, "Aunt Lynette, I'm in a play and I'm a SKUNK!!!!!!!!" Those people have no idea what they're in for! She'll be great!

And then there's one of the 400 Kaitlyns in Fiddler with me. She asked me to answer some questions about Feminism for her (my opinion) for an English paper she's writing. It was fun! I wrote it out today. I think there were 10 questions, not necessarily long answers, but I took 5 pages to tell her what my thoughts were. I miss that intellectual stimulation I had in college. I should take classes just to keep my brain in gear for when I finally make it to grad school. Plus, I imagine the stress would be off if I could only do one class at a time.

And I saw Noises Off at UNR last night. I love that play! Hana was Brooke, the ditz, and Kirk was Freddy. They were both great! My advice to all readers: WATCH THE MOVIE OR THE PLAY ASAP!!!!!!!!! Even if you're not in theatre, it's about the funniest thing written. It's by Michael Frayn.

I chose the lyrics from the song "Good Morning," which is most famously used in Singing in the Rain. I keep hoping it is. The future I mean; I hope it's bright. Right now I could really use it.
