I was literally plugging in my laptop so I can check my e-mail from a public wi-fi site (because my parents only have dial-up) when my cell phone rang.  It was Kendall asking if I’ve sent out the e-mail blast asking for donations for the troupe. Yikes I haven’t.  GUILT.  I’m a bad friend.  I [...]

I was just checking my e-mail before I went back to the room from the lovely hotel lobby with beverages and wi-fi and there is an e-mail that informs me that the Bigfork Summer Playhouse reunion is only days away.  I haven’t really thought about that yet.  I bought a ticket.  But, I haven’t thought [...]

Saturday 8/8/09   Last Day Up and awake and watching Discovery Network Shark Week.  The clock is ticking.  Today is our last day together in Seattle.  Tomorrow The Husband returns to work in New York City and My Kid and I continue on to two weeks with My Parents in Montana.  Last year the husband [...]

  I thought we would spend some time at the Pacific Science Center with My Kid.  But, that didn’t happen.  We enjoyed hanging out in the hotel room as a family until it was time for The Husband to go have lunch with a former work colleague.  My Kid and I went swimming in the [...]

Friday 8/7/09   We’re moving slowly today.  I was awake at 7:30 am but those people I travel with weren’t.  I ended up reading for a while (The Husband’s copy of The Fall of the House of Bush.)  My book is Suzanna Clarke’s A House in Fez about restoring a house in Morocco but I [...]

  Thursday 8/6/09   We had breakfast at Voula’s on Northlake Way–yum–with an old theatre friend who is planning her big move to NYC this fall–Yeah!  I’m looking forward to having this friend in New York.  We’re the same age.  We’re both from Montana.  We’re both actresses.  We both have one daughter (but her’s is [...]

8/4/09   The highlight of the day fro My Kid and The Mother-In-Law was lunch at the Rainforest Cafe in Southcenter Mall which has been inexplicably renamed “Westfield”.  As an aspiring downtown Seattle creative person I never went to that mall.  Then when we got pregnant and had a baby we started to go there [...]

something for my blog because I can’t get online at the airport Thursday July 30, 6:05pm JetBlue     6:05  We’re in the JetBlue terminal, sitting “outside” in the middle of the concourse in front of 5IVESTEAK.  I am alone at the table at the moment.  Ken and Miya have gone to MUJI to buy [...]

07/30/09 I’m drinking my coffee and trying to pull my brain together to get My Kid and I packed and ready to go.  The Husband is packed and working.  My Kid is still sleeping. I’m counting the hours and looking around the apartment listing what needs to be done.  It’s 9 am.  We need to [...]

Our home is not large.  Rain is pouring outside.   My daughter has a friend over and she has decided she would like to play in the front living-dining-media-play-room part of the apartment.  So I am relegated to the back bedroom half of the apartment which is fine with me.  I’m listening NPR and writing [...]
