Painting our nails/ Pi Day

Today while I was watching my nephew Daniel I got my nail polish out and painted my toe nails. Not the same as the real pedicure I know but it will do. So my nephew Daniel wanted to have his finger nails to glow-in-the-dark. So I got my glow-in-the-dark nail polish and he painted his nails.

He also brought over his Lego Indiana Jones game. He was showing me how to die properly. He said:

"Look see this is how you die."

Yep he got a kick out of that! So he was showing me how to play the game. I would have the game for like 2 min. then he would take it away and start playing then he would say:

"Look see this is how you play! You need to jump hear, you need to use this guy so he can crawl. Press the "A" button and you can build things!"

It was fun this afternoon. My nephews are fun. Yes even the one with autism. What gets Jeremy is that people in the ward will ask him if his son has autism, then when the find out that he is autistic the response is:

"Really? He doesn't look like he has autism."

I have no clue what he is "suppose" to look like, but I think that he looks like my Grandpa Robb.

Ok now tell me what you think about this. Go to Scothoser's Corner It talks about how the House of Representatives voted March 14 to be National Pi Day. Of all the things to vote on. Go figure. Oh well that is jest one excuse to eat a pie. Think about this you can have a Pie-eating-contest to celebrate the day, or do a math problem that has Pi in it. You choose. But as for me I think that I would like the Pie.

I know our government needs some major help. Of all the things to vote on. Could they come up with a very good plan to fix our nation?

Miracles of Miracles!!!!

Yes. yes, yes!!! The young women were there tonight at our RS (road show) practice! I'm so glad. I was jumping up and down for joy! Ok I was running to the other side of the building to unlock to door, but I was smiling while I was running.

The down side the young men were not there, they had an activity. The one time the Y/M are not there the Y/W are. I need to have both the YW/YM come together at the same night same time and dance together. What it this?? Are they still in the "girls have cooties-boys have germs" stage?

The challenge that I am now tackling is to have the curtains fixed and the burned out lights replaced/put in new ones. Yep we are missing light bulbs. A lot of them. Because of that the people on stage look like they are sick. I jest cant have that.

Something Awesome!!!

I'm sick of the road show and I imagine you are sick of reading about it.

So on to something Awesome!

Directing a road show while keeping your head!

If anyone knows how to do that please let me know!

I'm not getting enough cast support. So the plan is to give it two more weeks and if needs be, shorten the script. This is so that the 4th ward will have something. The problem? Our boundaries have changed so the ward is new, nobody wants to talk to each other. When we do, everyone is overly nice for the reason nobody want's to offend anyone else. But we are so worried not to offend anyone we end up offending everyone and ourselves. How crazy is that?

Another problem. As one of the authors of the road show script, and both of us are history buffs; the need to keep the script historically correct is a must. We have found out that people are having problems with that aspect of the script. So it looks like we must follow the history books and teachers example's and "clean" up history.

My teacher made me stupid!

So what have I learned directing plays, road show, and mellow dramas?

1. Do not make a new ward do a road show. The support is not there.
   
2. Do not keep things historically correct.
3. Always go to the person who is over the stake road show and get all info.
4. Always have the back up from the bishop.
5. Stay positive, cry/vent at home.
   
6. Stay in contact of the music director, and choreographer
7. Have another director, stay within the same vision. If one is fed up at the moment and need time out, the other can take over.
   
8. Bounce ideas off of each other (ie. writers, directors, choreographer, etc.)
   

Road Show Up Date!

Things are working out with the Road Show. I will not change anything about the script. I have done enough of that already.

We will have a family photo done tomorrow. Thank you Rick for doing that before Seth leaves for Afghanistan. I know that it was such short notice.

Also thank you all for the love, support, and your prayers.
