Thanks, guys! You're right shouldn't worry about that stuff!!! And thanks for saying I'm progressing, b/c sometimes I have days where I'm not sure that I am! But I feel stronger and more self-confident now so guess that's something. And I can tell y'all what to do!!! \:\) Well, I was looking good tonight-wore tight jeans and a tight black shirt, and full makeup and all, always fun to do that.

I have to give H credit: he showed up for a minute to wish D8 luck and then an hour later to tell her goodbye. Our friends were polite and friendly to him, well one or 2 of them anyway! I was kind of surprised when we got home an hour later and H was still here. Guess he changed his mind or whatever.

I'm in a super great mood today, even more \:\) than usual, b/c my car was ready today!!! I love it, and I picked it up and I'm so happy! It seems good as new which is good b/c the final total bill was over $8000!!! (Thank goodness we have great insurance so just had a little deductible)!

Then I had Terrific Tuesday, the afterschool program at my church. The kids are so sweet there and all the other women are really nice too. Always a good time. \:\)

Well, D8 did pretty good at her audition. She was definitely the cutest one there, but we had been tipped off earlier today (by some who auditioned last night) there are only 4 female parts for Little Women, well younger women. And Jamie is probably a little young for them. The nearby college apparently sent all their theatre majors, there were about a dozen for every part tonight, and I heard there were also a lot last night, so us regular small town folk probably don't have much of a chance. But it was good practice for D8 and we got to see a bunch of our friends. I didn't try out but signed up for painting the sets b/c I always enjoy that! \:\)

The only bad thing is D8 started coughing at the audition and told me at the end she had a sore throat, too! Poor thing! We left immediately then, before they finished up, but honestly so many theatre majors there, I'm not too worried about her missing out on a part! She practiced her song for about 5 minutes today we were so busy, but I told her for "Peter Pan" which is one she really wants a part in a couple months, we'll spend more time practicing so hopefully she can get one (and me too)!
