State Fair Performance

Once again, Just Fabulous has been included in the State Fair of Texas. I really enjoy performing at the State Fair even though the planning that goes into this performance can be pretty dang stressful. We are going with simpler costumes this year and I think we already have all the performances we need since we only got 20-minute slots.

Three 20-minute slots.

Shall we do 3 identical shows? Three separate shows? Between having a 4th troupe member and two new choreographies, filling 20 minutes will be absolute cake. Two performances will be on the stage in front of the Hall of State but this year we are also doing one on the Heritage Stage. Very cool to be included in the air-conditioned show!

Vacation is Over

It has been a really nice week. As I mentioned on Facebook, I was doing "staycations" long before folks labeled it as such; only for me it is more a glimpse into the future. A future where we have reduced our debt load to the point that the household is my job, rather than the crap I still have to take care of when I get home from my 40-hours.

It was delightful to have a week of a clean, organized house (mostly) and spoiling Matt with fun, fancy lunches and quiet evenings.

As exciting as my newly renovated office is, nothing can compare to the feeling of satisfaction I get when I can look around after dinner and know there is nothing that I have to do before bed so Matt and I can relax and enjoy each other's company.

While technically this is the last day of vacation, it is really more of a traditional Sunday. Michelle joined me for my early morning grocery shopping and now I am doing the traditional Sunday laundry. A quiet day. I'm hoping for a trip to Cabela's to go look at all the amazing camping innovations that have been made since I was a kid.
