I talked to the guy who will probably refinish our floor. He specializes in older homes and has great references and his bid was lower than I expected it to be. Whee. I need to talk it over with Rob first, but hopefully we should have a beautiful fir floor soon.

For Christmas, Rob gave me a book by my favorite Victorian author, which is quite the impressive since I think he’s found all of her titles at this point. If you don’t know how these yearbooks work, they contain a pithy saying for everyday of the year. Here is today’s: “One uncongenial guest can ruin

Or Happy Bris as a friend of mine pointed out. Although the calendar is supposed to date from the birth of Jesus, it actually begins eight days after his birth. Why? Because–being born into a Jewish household–that would have been his bris. Interesting, no? In any case, Rob and I woke up late this morning.
Yesterday was a momentous day, and I didn’t even realize it. It was Rob’s last official day at the winery. Of course he’s still going in to work on Monday, but he’s back to being free-lance. Hurrah!
Mom and Dad gave us a gift certificate to Rejuvenation Hardware for our anniversary. Friday, as part of our Christmas festivities Rob and I went to Rejuvenation to pick out a new light for our front hall. We won’t get the actual light until January seventh, but you can admire the computerized rendering of its
Rob has gone off to Bethel Heights today and will be home tomorrow night. I was thinking about going with him, but the thought of packing a suitcase, even for an overnight trip, was not appealing. Which leaves me with two days alone in the house. I’m already wondering if I made the right choice.

Rob and I went to Powell’s City of Books to sell the books I sorted out the other day. We got $86 for half of them. The other half we carted home. Actually, we carted them to the end of the block outside Powell’s and set them down so Rob could fetch the car. While
These are some of the things that have struck me–you should know that I am experiencing culture shock about being in the U.S. America really does have an obesity problem. From the moment we landed in Baltimore, I saw very few people who were not overweight. There are so many trees. Look at all the
Sarah had to run to a doctor’s appointment last night and asked if I could do Trixie while she was gone. Of course I said yes. The kids were all just supposed to run through the screen, so it should have been very easy. Naturally, that changed. Trixie was the first character into frame, and
Rob and I slept in, then went into town to have lunch at Vegamot. Afterwards we did a little window shopping, came home and headed for the Blue Lagoon. We did not have massages there, but we did purchase massage oil.

Rob and I are going to Jodi, Sam and Julie’s for dinner tonight. All the Americans and some other guests are gathering tonight for Thanksgiving dinner. Rob and I are bringing a spinach, artichoke casserole (thanks for the recipe, Mom), an apple crisp, and eggnog.

Sorry that my entries have been so short. Between busy days on the set and NaNoWriMo and Rob visiting, I haven’t had the time to do long weblog entries. The snow is thawing and we are back to our usual overcast windy days. I have to be on set a lot but it’s been mostly
Here are we are, dolled up in our finest. That’s a real bowtie Rob is wearing, not a pre-tied clipon. Now, my dad had asked for pictures and names of people so that he could keep track of who’s who. Here are my some of my co-workers. Dana and Mark Reed Jonathan (director) and Thor

I’ve been doing live hands all day. I have only left the set for lunch. Rob spent the day here, and got to see me do some fun shots. I also just found out that on Monday I’ll be performing Trixie by myself while Sarah is in London at a wedding. I’m excited and nervous.
