Stick a Fork in Me

I have been asked to work full-time for the next three months due to my job share partner, being out with a sick mother. I know that she would do the same for me, so I am glad to do it, and am trying to keep a good attitude.

I am launching a new retail website that requires hours and hours of data entry and it has about done me in. Now that I don't have every other week off, I am having to do this in the evenings. I find myself going to bed, later and later. This is on TOP of the other websites and blogs that I manage. That's okay. When I hit it rich, I will look back on this time and laugh.

I am not laughing today.

Yay for Home!

We FINALLY made it home from Canton. Geesh. We started out on Sunday afternoon and hit bumper to bumper traffic and horrible rain storms, so we made it to Cincinnati and called it a night. Got up this morning and drove the rest of the way home. I hate 18 wheelers!!

It was a great weekend. Sara is now a member of the Bluecoats, and Midori is a member of Phantom Regiment!! Congrats!!

I am headed to bed. Goodnight!

Greetings from Canton

Sara and I made our cross-country trek yesterday, and are currently in Canton, Ohio. We started out on Thursday morning, driving to Athens, Alabama to see my parents. We spent Thanksgiving with them, and got up on Friday morning, and pointed the car towards Ohio. It was a long day of driving with thousands of other holiday travelers, all trying to drive as fast as they could, to reach their final destinations. We felt like we would never get here but, arrived shortly after 8:30 pm, EST.

We heard from Midori last night, from Rockford, where she was preparing for Regiment auditions. She said that she had a good Friday night, and was excited to be there. Drew is also in Rockford, with the Regiment visual staff, and was having a good time as well.

I dropped Sara off at Bluecoats camp this morning, after working our way through downtown Canton. There were alot of people there...looks like a very good turn out. Very interesting place, Canton. I passed the Professional Football Hall of Fame...that was cool. Now I am back at the hotel, passing some time, until I step out into the world of Christmas shopping, Canton style. Luckily, there is a very nice mall across the street from our hotel, so I will be mixing with the Cantonites, helping their economy with some Tennessee dollars.

I hope you all had a great holiday. We will be leaving for home on Sunday afternoon. Can't wait to see you all next weekend and hear your tales of Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping.

Love to all. M. Abe

For this, I am truly thankful.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Enjoy your family and friends and be thankful for all that is good in your lives.

Good luck to all who are auditioning this weekend. Wishing you safe travels and great success.

Is that not the most disturbing picture you have ever seen? It was too creepy, not to share.

For you all, I am truly thankful. Love, M. Abe

You gotta love weekends!

I love weekends. I get to spend my time with the most talented young people in the world! They make me laugh! What a pleasure it is to have them in my life.

Great rehearsals this weekend. They are coming together as a unit and as friends.

Yay for Uniforms!
