I was informed by loving father that 2 months is far to long to go without a blog update. I haven't updated because I've been very frustrated with trying to put pic in. it will only allow me to put them in when I am using HTML which gives you a load of gibberish, not a picture. Then you have to try to click back and forth to put them where you want and guess where to type. This is FAR to much work to post a picture and we all know people only want to read a blog with pictures...therefore, not updates. However, at dear daddy's request I'll bring you up to speed on the Duigan's....minus pics.
Leanne:
School's out for summer, PTL! At the end of the year I auditioned for A Midsummer Night's Dream and was cast as Titania, the fairy queen. I had the joy of having a BEAUTIFUL costume and makeup and being on stage with wonderful friends. I have LOADS of pictures to prove it so head on over to my Facebook page to see some!
When that closed I immediately went into rehearsals for Winnie the Pooh at Theatrick's (the children's theater here). Webster, the director of shows there graciously offered to let me direct the summer show. He was the assistant director this go round. He still had a lot of work to do, but got a little rest by allowing me to direct. It has been so much fun and the reviews of our community are good! I'm so proud of my cast!
In the daytimes I've been sleeping in, playing with the girls who are no longer in daycare, playing with my dogs (for obvious reasons), and fighting the fruit fly invasion of 2014. (I don't want to talk about the last of those...)
Alan:
Alan interviewed and accepted a job in a surgical center in Addison at the end of May. He had a long weekend between when he finished at West Asset so we headed to New Braunfels for a weekend by the pool and a visit with my aunt and uncle. (Again, pics are on FB) Then we came back and he started working as an accountant. He is enjoying his new job...but perhaps not the hour commute there and back. There has been talk about moving to McKinney, but there's no timeline on that at all...just lots of talk.
He now works Monday-Friday from 9-5:30. He likes to arrive a little early so he usually leaves here about 7:30 and arrives there around 8:30. Then he heads home somewhere around 5:30 and is home by 6:30-7. He usually gets off early on Friday. He has spent some time at my parents house as it's only 10-15 minutes from the job.
Other:
Amy and her family were in last week. We both went down on Sunday night and spent the night at mom's to spend time with them. Then I went down most days to join in the fun, while Alan stayed down nights to have dinner and some time with them (though rumor has it he slept on the couch a lot!).
I'm auditioning for our fall musical, Secret Garden, today. On Sunday (after we close and strike Winnie the Pooh), I will head to San Antonio for our Statewide Deaf Ed conference. Once back from that I will (hopefully) go into rehearsals for Secret Garden and start looking to the start of school....though only some.
I'm sad to say I haven't finished a SINGLE sewing project this summer. Terrible I know! I have several to work on and none done. I did buy a new book that a friend and I are going to work through and create seriously cute outfits! :)
Other than that -- it's day to day!
Thanks for reading...sorry for lack of pics...Have a good day! :)
