TIRED. is that all i ever am in my life, tired?

but tonight, REALLY REALLY tired.

the show last night went well. the crowd, although not that big, was bigger than opening night, and they laughed even more. this afternoon…well, at first we thought maybe they’d all died. not a lot of laughter. but then of course by the second act they couldn’t help themselves, they had to laugh.

there was a big contingent of red-hat ladies and they all left at the end of the first act.

too bad for them.

was it me in my lingerie? was it Lloyd saying “fuck?” it’s a mystery to me.

i’m never ever going to be a red hat lady.

even though i do look good in hats. and red is one of my favorite colors.

BUT NEVER A RED HAT LADY! when i was in Hobby Lobby the other day i noticed an entire AISLE of red hat crap. i didn’t actually go down the aisle to see what particular kind of RHC they were hawking because it seemed too icky.

did i mention how tired i am?

i DID NOT eat everything at the party last night.

i made spanikopeta, and was glad i did because Christine loves it and she ate about 15 pieces. she and paolo just barely made it to the show in time; they arrived at 7:50 for the 8:00 show. they liked it a lot, though, and it was fun to look out and see them there.

but then they had to drive back to chicago. they had time to be at the party for about 50 minutes, and then they had to make the long drive. so they spent more time driving from there to here and back again than they did being here in spfld. all that paolo has ever seen of spfld. is the Center for the Arts and Bridget and Matt’s house. it was dark when they arrived, so they didn’t get to see anything, really. but maybe that’s just as well, because of all that snow on the ground, that’s not when spfld. looks its best. maybe paolo can come back in the spring when the grass is green and the leaves are back on the trees.

please come see the show. it’s VERY VERY funny.

i’m not going to beg or anything. but it will be TOO BAD if you don’t see it.

laughter is good for many maladies, including jaundice, whooping cough, the plague, colds & flu, bronchitis and botulism. it is especially effective in stopping the BIRD FLU which we all know will be here AT ANY MOMENT.

last night i noticed at the party that pam started talking with a british accent. i thought this was funny because i’ve been doing the same thing; i’ll be talking and then i’ll suddenly just launch into the accent. i remember at the first rehearsal when some of us were a little tentative about doing it, but now it’s like second nature.

today in the bathroom after the show a woman asked me if we were all from springfield. i thought this was an odd question, but it was because she thought our accents were SO GREAT that mayb some of us actually ARE british!

that is all for now.

MONDAY, GOOD LORD ABOVE, how is that going to be? i wish i had the day off tomorrow.

ok ok ok,

sleepy sunday night grace.
