The Week Ahead: January 12-18, 2009

3 Comments

Since production week for The Music Man is right around the corner, this week is considered the calm before the storm. I love production week but it’s a lot of work for the kids and the parents that volunteer. It’s all worth it once the kids hit the stage though.

So here is my calm week:

Monday, January 12, 2009 – Nothing much going on at work. Still working on my two special projects. Should hopefully be done with one of them within the next few days. I’m planning to hit the gym today at lunch. Rehearsal tonight so I’m glad I have dinner cooking away in the Crock Pot. Gotta love the crock. I will probably read in the car while my son is at rehearsal. I’m alternating between The Terror and Loving Frank depending on my mood. When I get home, it’s me, my DVR and the continuation of the 24 premiere.

Tuesday, January 13, 2009 – Lunch with a co-worker. Nothing going on in the evening. I plan to sit and read with a cup of tea in hand. Updated: forgot to add that American Idol starts tonight. How could I could I have forgotten that?

Wednesday, January 14, 2009 – Meetings today. Always too many meetings. More rehearsal tonight too. I have to take script notes so no sitting in the car for me.

Thursday, January 15, 2009 – Today is the day the Freshman Common Reading panel meets to discuss the One Campus, One Book finalist. I have been looking forward to this meeting for months but I can’t go! I have a major project meeting and there is no way out of it. Instead, I must submit my recommendation in writing. It’s not what I wanted to do but it’s my only option.

Friday, January 16, 2009 – Nothing going on today except work and the gym. I may post a giveaway today as I’ve not done one in awhile. Looking forward to the three-day weekend.

The Weekend – Saturday night is Father/Son night and it’s hosted by PTO so I will be there with my daughter doing whatever needs to be done. Sunday, nothing planned but I’ll probably be running around gathering props for the show.

What does your week look like? Anyone taking advantage of the three-day weekend to do some traveling?

The Sunday Salon: January 11, 2009

9 Comments

My entire day is centered around the premier of 24 (Season 7) that begins tonight at 8pm PST. I love Kiefer Sutherland. I love it when he goes nuts and runs all over heck to save the world. I was especially entertained when the City of Santa Clarita was nuked a couple of seasons back (as I live in Santa Clarita). They shoot 24 here quite often so it’s a little bit too real for me sometimes, but fun!

We plan to order Chinese take-out, put the kids to bed and then enjoy the show. That means I have to get a few things done today. For one, some reading. Still working on Twilight but should be done today. I am also starting The Terror. A friend of mine said it was the best book he’s ever read so I can’t ignore it any longer. I have to put some props together for the production of The Music Man which is in two weeks! I also have to rehearse some lines and blocking with my son as he was so out of it from the surgery this past week and couldn’t stay for the entire blocking rehearsal. I am also in need of a new printer and the market is tossed in there somewhere.

That’s a lot to do, isn’t it? So much for a lazy Sunday. I’m still waiting for the male part of this family to wake as they got home close to 1am from the Monster Truck show last night. Hopefully they’ll wake soon as I feel the need to get going.

On a side note, it is absolutely beautiful here in Southern California today. Blue skies and I can tell it may even get warm! What’s on your plate today?
