Busy, Busy, Busy, but Nothing Done

To say that I have been busy lately is an understatement. That wonderful man that I married took me to see Wicked. If you haven't been go. If you haven't read the book, for goodness sakes read the book. I really enjoyed every second of it (both of them). I never thought that I would ever feel sorry for the Wicked Witch of the West. She was the major subject of many childhood nightmares. Who would have thought that she was really just an Animal Rights activist. The Wicked Witch of the East, well not so much. She kind of deserved the whole falling house thing.

It is also preseason for hockey. My other passion. My youngest son and I have been to 2 preseason games so far. I think that we have run out of free tickets for right now. This is okay though. House work needs to be done. These props are not going to finish themselves. Besides he has college to worry with. But oh, is it so wonderful to hear the swishing of blades on the ice, the smacking of the opponents faces against the plexiglass, the blood on the ice, and the crowd going wild. Funny how you can get away with yelling at the top of your lungs that the other team sucks at a hockey game. It is almost kind of expected in fact other people join in. Try that at any other sports game and you get thrown out.

I have been wanting to do a test run of all the props in the back yard this past week to what all needs to be tweeked but the weather hasn't been agreeable. Doesn't look go for next week either. I am really excited about the new light plan that I have for this year. Hopefully it will bring that added spookiness that I need. Not that there will be a lot of TOTs this year. Austin Peay is having Homecoming that night, the Predators have a game that night also. Not to mention more and more TOTs are going to the mall to trick or treat. Oh well, for us die hard old school people, see you as the crank ghosts float.
