Caroline had a nice 11th birthday. She didn’t get her sleepover but she did get to spend time with friends and celebrate the day. The pizza making went over very well. They liked that they could make it the way that they want it.
There is a lot of talk this morning both positive and negative about the live version of The Sound of Music that aired last night. I am going to be interested in the final viewing numbers. If this experiment worked, then we might see more live theater on TV, which is a good thing for theater in general. It puts live theater back on people’s radar. A majority of Americans have not seen a live theater performance (school productions aside) and wouldn’t it be nifty if they want to see them? Yes, they did the musical and not the movie but that was the point of doing a live performance.
Today Caroline is home because it is teacher/parent conference day. She is enjoying her long weekend by getting up early and playing with her dolls. I have a 10:30 appointment to talk to the teacher and get Caroline’s report card. Last year for this because we don’t have this in middle school around here.
RIP Nelson Mandela. He changed a country and the world forever. He died of old age which, considering what has happened to others who practiced non-violence, was a win for him.
I need to get some stuff done today or at least started after I finish the conference. We have cake on the kitchen floor due to a mishap so that need to be scrubbed up before it gets ground in. Also want to get the vacuuming done. I might start on the laundry today rather than tomorrow.
I applied for a job yesterday that I am really hoping I have a better shot at than the last job I applied for. I would be so good at it considering my skill set that I have built over the years. If not this one, I am hoping that another position at the same company opens up and I can be on the ground floor of getting into that one. It would be the kind of job that if I get it, everyone who knows me will say, “Of course she is working there.” Caveat: it is not with the Muppets or CTW as much as I would love a job there too.
I am grateful for opportunities that present themselves.
