Two shows I worked on, one opera and one romance, have opened and closed. Both were sell-out hits and did very well with the critics, which should hopefully improve funding on all fronts in the year ahead.
My parents came to visit and got to see one of the shows, the world premiere of Morisot Reclining, and to meet some of the theatre friends I've been working with for the past three years. It was a treat to have them here to see our work.
Matt went to the shuttle launch in Florida to watch COS go up in style. He has promised pictures to me for future blog posts. We'll see who returns images first, Matt or the newly repaired Hubble.
Mother's day was the day both my parents and Matt left town, so it was truly a mother's day as I spent that day and the next two with the kids, except for work. We've made lots of trips to lots of parks and playgrounds in an effort to exhaust the bug and air out the polliwog. He, by the way, appears to have "man of the house" syndrome. While Matt was away, he was unusually hard to get down to sleep, and wouldn't stay asleep unless I stayed upstairs in my bedroom. Literally the moment his dad's plane touched down, he took a 2.5 hour nap at daycare (VERY unusual, he's usually an hour-or-less guy) and another mid-evening nap tonight while we went for a walk. Yup, he's been taking care of the women and it's been exhausting. :)
Perhaps most relevantly, I started Facebooking which has sucked my recreational computer time away from blogging. I will attempt to be better about maintaining the longer blog post format more than once a month, especially since I have family members who rely on my blog for photos. (Ah, faithful readers!) This is why I haven't gone near Twitter--I've already gone from blog posting to 250-character updates and the lure of brevity is way too attractive for me to consider seriously.
