I'm gonna say it again - it is so cool to be on holiday right now - it's just icy outside and I get to stay indoors, relax, blog, write, and watch hours and hours of TV series on DVD. I LOVED the first season of "30 Rock" - I knew I would, Tina Fey is a legend!

I had my Drama classes tonight. Last night I spent ages online finding monologues for kids, and I found quite a few - from "Finding Nemo" and "101 Dalmations" and "Alice in Wonderland" (amongst others) and I gave them to the younger group to do - and... (trumpets sound)... THEY DID IT!!! They focussed and read over them and then got up and read them in front of the group. I'm pretty chuffed!

Blazie and I braved the cold first thing this morning (actually Blazie LOVES the cold - must be that fur coat) and went out to give Sakie some extra feed. I brought her in and put my hands up under her rugs (she's wearing three) - it's toasty under there - thankfully!

I'm ready for a new commitment - I started the Celebrityslim diet four days ago - I didn't admit it till now because I've tried to start about four times in the last month and chucked it in after a day! This time, though, it's sticking. I didn't weigh myself before I started because it's too cold to get naked on the scale before breakfast but I will set a goal to reach by the opening night of Quandary - and I will set that goal as soon as I know when opening night is! So I'll keep you informed on my progress.

Speaking of Quandary, tonight I asked my theatre daughter Ann to teach me to play poker. We've decided to make every Tuesday night Poker Night. I'm so excited! She and Gosh are gonna teach me Texas Hold 'Em. This can be our mother/daughter bonding time - maybe we can work it into the play.

I'm gonna go watch "The L Word" Season Three. Bette and Tina just had their baby! Aww!
