Achoooo!
Christmas day is here! Ya-freakin-whoooo! I loved watching the kids open their gifts, I loved the meal my mom prepared....it's a shame that my nose is so stuffed up and my head is so utterly congested that I can't fully enjoy the day. Next year for Christmas I am asking for a big bottle of vitamin C in my stocking!!

Huh?
My house is full, no room left at the Inn. There are 9 of us sharing limited space. I was hoping that it wouldn't be a problem, that the size of my house would just mean that we would share more love, hugs and closeness during the holidays. Perhaps I was wrong. I was making toast for Nathanial, my in-laws little 8 year old foster boy, when he came up to me and said....
"You have a really small house."
"Yes I do"
"No...I mean it is teenee tineee"
"Yes it is, but it's still nice"
"I said it was small....I never said it was nice."
.........ouch!

...wonder if anyone would notice I was drunk by noon?

...filled with self-doubt!
Tomorrow night I am performing at Yuk-Yuk's in Ottawa.
Tomorrow night I am MCing.
I have never MC'd before.
I am afraid!
Very afraid!
My comedy routine...I have that down-pat. I know what I am going to say, I say it, I get off stage.
MCing requires a wee bit of spritzing, contact with the audience, improving....this terrifies me!
What if I talk to someone and they don't answer?
What if I am heckled?
What do I say to a heckler?
How do I open the show?
I hate doubting myself. I want so much to feel strong and confident....and right now I do not.
I am stressed.
Stress gives me diarrhea.
I have diarrhea.

...just got back!
Right after supper my hubby and I ventured out to start AND complete our Christmas shopping all in one evening...needless to say we were somewhat delusional! We were able to check off half our list...but were too tired to go any further. We must have walked ten miles, looked at a million objects, spent WAY too much moola...(and honestly our list is small, we truly aren't buying a lot this year...but as everyone knows, it all adds up VERY quickly!) I will go again another day to finish off my list...no rush...I have 9 days left!!!

Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming!
....and I am not ready!
I don't even have half my shopping done, nor the desire to do it. My in-laws are coming next week along with two little foster boys that they take care of and I haven't gotten the extra groceries I need yet. I am not worried...sometimes I find a thrill in the adrenaline rush I get when I have to run around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Sometimes I work better under pressure. I am taking my time this year, going slowly, not getting my panties in a bunch. I know that everything will get done...it always does. So for now, I sit, I type, I drink my coffee, I relax!

The good, the bad and the ugly!
The Good.
The show in Toronto went absolutely fantasticle! It was a night of pure magic. Each lady who took the stage captured the entire room with her performance. The television producer was there and without a doubt loved the show. He will start next week writing up three different proposals to pitch to various networks. He wants to pitch the show as (1)a one hour comedy special (2)a documentary/movie (3)a re-occurring sitcom. I am NOT picky....I'll be happy with whichever one gets chosen (if one gets chosen...you learn very quickly in this business not to count your eggs before they hatch!).
The Ugly
Now we sit and wait. Wait for the producer to contact Shelley. Wait for him to pitch his ideas. Wait for the networks to decided yes or no. We wait. I HATE WAITING! Absolutely hate it! Patience is definitely not one of my strong suits!
The Bad
My computer has died. It's dead. Cannot be resuscitated. I am using my daughters laptop....but fighting with a teenager for computer time is not a joyous occasion. It is so close to Christmas.......a new computer may have to be put on the back burner of "things I need" for now. Oh well, my daughter is tiny....I can take down her if I have to!!!!
