The Sunday Salon: Photos!

Sunday Salon

As you know, my kids were in a recent production of The Music Man. Some of you have asked for pics and although I am not allowed to snap pics backstage, I did manage to sneak a few in. Shhhh.

Me and the Fam After the Show
Extended Family and Friends After the Show

We are a rag-tag group, are we not? No one in the Fam lets me take pictures so they are always rushed and everyone is always confused. Do I stand here? Am I supposed to be in this one? What are we doing right now? That last family pic has the following people in it, in case you are curious: (left to right) my one FIL, my nephew and his lovely wife, The Hub, The Girl, my MIL, The Boy, my other FIL, my SIL, my BIL, and two dear friends of the family.

Yep. Utter confusion. That is why we always look like an ant hill that just got stepped on. I REALLY wanted to get a photo of my daughter in her majorette costume but I was so sick at the time, it didn’t occur to me to try. The Boy also had so many different costumes that I never got to snap. Oh well!

Now for the Winter Formal pic. The ONLY pic I have because The Boy had a fever and he was not feeling well. You guessed it, he wouldn’t let me take any. All I have is this one professional pic taken at the dance.

They look great though, don’t they?

As for today, it’s gorgeous out and we are going to spend the day watching movies. I have Flight from Netflix and then we have been on a James Bond kick so we may watch one of those movies too. For dinner, possibly steaks on the grill. Maybe Carne Asada tacos. Haven’t decided but whatever it is, it will be grilled outdoors in this beautiful weather. Oh! I just remembered that The Girl has a birthday party right around dinner time. Hmmm. Will have to figure that one out.

Reading? I am reading Is This Tomorrow by Caroline Leavitt and I started The Adults by Alison Espach. What are you doing today?

An Update and a Winner

It’s been a really long time since I’ve posted but it couldn’t be helped. The Music Man wrapped two Sundays ago and I came down with whatever was floating around backstage. Many of the performers fell ill during the show. The Boy recovered enough to perform. I think I got the antibiotics into him just in time but with everyone else coughing and spitting and spewing (yes, there was spewing) I caught everything and ended up in bed for a week. I am still recovering. No energy. I’ve lost over 15 lbs and here I am at work again.

It’s been years since I’ve been sick like this but I haven’t been able to do a darn thing. No reading. No posting, No visiting blogs. Everything hurts too much. Plus, I was alerted to a possible issue with my family in the middle of all of this and now THAT is weighing heavily on my mind. But, I think in another week I should be pretty good. Once I am, I’ll share a few of the pics that I was able to snap of the show. Cameras are not allowed backstage and of course photography isn’t allowed during the show itself so I only have a few, but I’ll share them soon.

One thing I totally forgot about was picking a winner for my The Lost Art of Mixing giveaway! The winner is… Diana Mack! I sent you an email!

So please excuse me this next week. I’ll be playing catch-up as I have over six reviews to write and post and I want to spend some time catching up with my favorite blogs too as I feel totally out of the loop.
