A Quick One

November 25, 2018 at 8:00 am by Claudia

She’s hanging out in the den for the time being.

Just a quick post (written on Saturday evening) because I have to leave to get the bus early Sunday morning and won’t have time to write any kind of post then. Sunday bus options are fewer so it looks like I’ll get in at least an hour before I need to be there, but better safe than sorry. If I leave it until later, and the bus is even 10 minutes late, I’ll not make rehearsal in time. And I panic at the thought of not being on time. I’m one of those ‘it’s better to be early” people.

So there you go.

All day today (Saturday) I’ve thought it was Sunday. All day long. What will I think Sunday is, I wonder?

I hope you’re all having a lovely holiday weekend.

Happy Sunday.

    Love your new ornament. I hope you had a good trip to the city and that rehearsals went well. I’m hoping to decorate my tree with the Grands this afternoon but other then that I’m being a snuggle at home kind of gal!

      I’m snuggling at home today. Tired from yesterday and still have sinus problems.

    love your new ornament. what a great place for it, too!

    i am the same and feel much better being early rather than late. was raised that way by my beloved parents and cannot recall the last time i even arrived “on time”, let alone late!

    hope your trip to nyc went well and you can be home soon, taking it easy.

    hope don’s work is going well, too.

    happy sunday.

      I get very stressed if I think I’m going to be late!

    Hope you had a good day in the city. We are on the northern edge of a snow event. Hoping it stays down towards the Illinois state line as they are predicting right now. Seems they are wrong about as often as they are right.

    My husband is conducting the community choir in a Christmas Contata today. Many rehearsals since Oct, so I am hoping for no snow or just a dusting if anyone needs it for the atmosphere, I guess. Thus the season begins. It seems like we were just packing Christmas up a week ago. (It also feels like time flies a lot faster as I get older.) Have a good evening!

      I hope you missed out on the snow. It looks like a BIG event, from what I’m seeing on Instagram and my weather app.

      You’re right – it seems like yesterday that it was Christmas. Time moves much too quickly these days!

    As Chris stated…the snow appears to be going south of us. The reality is, that until this snow event is over, we won’t truly know?

    I, too, would rather be early than late. Guess it stems from my childhood…the early bird catches the worm and all that. Hope today went well for you! ;)

      My parents were always prompt. So was I. And I invariably had friends who were always late and that drove me nuts!

    Claudia, hope you made it into the city with time to spare. I’m also an early person, but unfortunately, my kids got the “just in time, whew” attitude from their dad. I lose track of dates, more so than days. I’m already receiving invites for Christmas get togethers. What? What date is today?!?!

      It went well. I’m back and tired out. Today I’m taking it easy.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
