With the rescheduling of my China trip to next year, looking at my tv schedule and realizing there are only about 6 tv shows I want to watch this summer (4 on USA), I thought to myself, "what am i going to do with myself this summer?"
Well, I didn't have long to wonder. the APL Drama Club was in need of someone to step in and take a part in their summer show, "Rumors" by Neil Simon. So now I have rehearsals on Mondays and Thursdays until August. Plus there are lots of other things I scheduled, like the American Idol concert in Baltimore, going to see Wicked at the Kennedy Center, and of course scads of movies with Shannon and Clare on Saturdays. I also have my family reunion/niece's wedding at the end of June.
But I'm still going to work on my yard. I have a crabgrass infestation. :(
What have I been up to lately? Well, I walked in the annual APL 5K run/walk. Not as impressive as my niece's 5K since she ran, injury and all, but I still did it, and finished in 1:07:45. Not too shabby. I will work on running until next year so I can run part of it too. One of my drama club friends was there, and a few people from my department, so that was fun. I had my ipod and it really helped me keep going, since everyone was faster than me. Except the woman with the stroller.
I went to see Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides with S&C on Memorial Day Saturday. I liked it. I think the first one is still my favorite, but this one is probably up there with the 2nd one (I didn't like the 3rd one at all--well, ok, there were several really great scenes, but not a lot of cohesion, and I didn't like the ending). This one ended well.
Other than that I've been doing church stuff and trying to get to the store--well, multiple stores. If I don't get to it on Saturday I need to do it in the evening, and if I can't go until after rehearsal or after walking (which is what I do after work on the nights I don't have rehearsal), then it just gets delayed until the next week or until I get desperate for something. Although, given that I do try to have about 3 months worth of food storage in my house at any given time, I really don't get that desperate. I just get, well, bored.
