glaciers melting in the dead of night

Yesterday I went to a big "garage" sale at my sister's church. I had just arrived and was glancing over the tables when I spotted a small pink gumball machine. I thought "Hey, I used to have one exactly like that" and oh how the childhood memories came rushing back. I pointed it out to my mom and was I the verge of asking her if she knew were mine was when the look on her face informed me that she knew exactly where mine was. It was on that table. That made me angry for awhile. Who gives away somebody else's stuff for somebody else's garage sale. Lame. It is true that I have nothing to do with a pink gumball machine and didn't want it but it's the principle of the thing. I got over my anger. The money's going to youth missions and I suppose that's fine, but thanks for giving away my childhood, mom. Sifting through the junk I also found an old jelly belly dispenser and a table lamp from my youth. Redonculous.

Our play opened this weekend and got a surprisingly good review in the paper. I haven't really enjoyed this show while it was happening because it was a lot of sitting around for me, but now that I'm in the homestretch I have that it-wasn't-so-bad feeling. I'm still glad we're getting towards the end though. There's no love lost between this show and I. Yesterday I did wear fake eyelashes for it though. They made me beautiful and made everyone fall in love with me. Now I'm going to eat lunch. Here's a picture of my mom & Kristin. I saw them yesterday. Sarrah's not in it because she was at her thieving garage sale.
