I just wanted to tell you guys it's been nice knowin ya. For the next 2 weeks, I'm going to be living at work. I've considered bringing a cot, but I'm afraid my drueling problem would become more public than I want it to be. Other than thanksgiving, every day will be filled with the hectic schedule of the Christmas production. The fun part is the scavenger hunt for random props. Like 200 clothing hangars, or "Mistletoe" scented room spray, or a segway, or a fake TV set. This is when random connections come in handy. There's nothing like calling an old boyfriend and asking him for an ice sculpture for the cast party. Good times.
If anyone's interested in flying to NC, come join us!

I hope you guys are doing well, and in case I don't get to tell you before, have an AWESOME Thanksgiving!
Love ya.

Sweet Dreams
I thought I'd tell you about the weird dream I had the other night. Usually, dreams center around one group of people or one event, but this one was... peculiar. I dreamed I was going to Wal-Mart, but it was the new Wal-Mart that had an elevator going into the store. So I got into the elevator with my friend's mom who lives 4 hours away (where'd she come from?) and then realized it was the kind of elevator that went upside down and in corkscrews just like a roller coaster. Weird.
Then I went through Wal-Mart looking for a mandolin chord book because me and Kyle had just been pickin' the mando. Never did find that book... But I was suddenly by myself and went outside the Wal-Mart into a mall, where I went to my eye doctor (of course, where else would he be?). I had trouble getting my contact perscription, so I went back into Wal-Mart for help. When that didn't work, I found myself back in the magic elevator with mom and dad.
I have no idea where all that came from. Maybe it was the meatball sub I had before I went to bed... Anyway, I hope you guys are sleeping well and dreaming sweet! Miss ya...

Yesterday's ladybug count: 73
Today's ladybug count: 92
It's getting colder, which means this problem will be getting better. In fact, there's rumors of flakes in the air tonight or tomorrow (not that it would stick to the ground, by any means). But this means that our ladybug friends will either retreat to my apartment for shelter or build little ladybug igloos, much like my Canadian friends live in, to wait out the weather. I'm hoping for the latter.
And in case you haven't noticed what Noel_bo started on my facebook page, I thought I'd share a few Photoshop masterpieces from a few Picasso's:
This last one is not edited. It's the new mariachi band I joined. I'm trying to find my Mexican roots.

The entire population of Western North Carolina's ladybugs has been in my apartment within the past 10 days. Yes, they're cute, but if I wanted to decorate my apartment in ladybugs I would have bought those porcelain salt shakers that dispense the salt out of the bug's spots that I saw in Country Home Magazine. Nope, these sweet little things are being sucked up! As Kristen says, "If you'd a been there, If you'd a seen it.... I know that you would have done the same!!"
They're just not very welcoming to come home to. They're not a cuddly as a puppy or even as interesting as a gold fish. They just stick there - on walls and ceilings (unless my ceiling fan is on. Then they fly into the blades and get propelled in a streak of red and black into some unknown place in the room...). I noticed they like the corners for some reason. Maybe that's where the ladybug parties are.
Anyway, I know this has been gross, but what's REALLY gross is emptying the canister on my vacuum. I don't look at whether they're dead or still alive, I just dump the canister into the bushes.
Anyway, maybe ladybugs aren't a problem in California or Canada, but here they're feared - until I reach for my Shark vacuum and my extender hose. Then it's bye bye buggy!
They had it comin' all along.
Hope y'all are having a good time...

Shower + Spiders = Bad Morning
Hello out there!
I hope you've all had a good week. It's Saturday, which means episodes of Sponge Bob Square Pants and maybe a trip to the mall. Sound like fun? I think so. Then me and Trevor are going to an amazing concert later... Can't wait! Hopefully I'll have decent pictures to post later.
The bad news is that Saturday also means cleaning. This Saturday, I'll be concentrating on scrubbing the shower till I can't scrub no more! I had a bad episode with a spider yesterday morning. And I'm scarred. Scarred real bad. I wasted half a can of Raid on him, but he had it comin'. Oh he definitely had it comin' . . .
Anyway, y'all be good. I miss ya!
