Hubs is out of town this week. On sunday we had a birthday dinner for his dad. While we were eating our daughter called in a "help" moment. Her computer had crashed and things weren't coming back like they should. She was able to talk with her grandad, and wish him a happy birthday. Then got jealous when her dad said we were having a Corned Beef. I promised when she came home for Thanksgiving, I would make it for her as her birthday dinner which is the week before she comes home. This will be her first birthday not being home. OH how times change.
To fill in the emptiness this week I made it to the movies and saw "CASE 39". Its very intense and very much a thriller. It had a couple of really creepy scary moments. Its not like Halloween series or Carrie, or those other gross movies. Tomorrow off with a girl friend to see "Men in Dance" at the Broadway hall in Seattle. It's looking to be quite interesting program, including Peter Boal the director of Pacific Northwest Ballet will be performing a piece choreographed for him by Donald Byrd. Our friend Eva Stone who is the director of Stone Dance Collective is providing a piece done in the past by my daughter and some other girls in the company, but this time will be all boys, and obviously have a bit of a twist on it. Both my friend and I have children in dance. Her son is Germany dancing for Stuttgart ballet, and my daughter is studying dance in San Francisco this year.
Can't wait for the hubs to come home. This is a big empty house after the first or 2nd day. And the cat she makes a lot of noise, but is not the lovey dovey type.

Movie Time!
So we caught a couple movies this weekend via Netflix.
One was called Adam. About a young man who has Asperger's Syndrome, which is a type of highly functional autism. Most of these people function in society but are more limited in there social abilities. They don't necessarily feel things like other's do. This movie was really very sweet, and it functioned around the young mans limitations but also his growth when he meets the young woman next door who is an elementary teacher. I would highly recommend this- although some think its a chick flick, my husband was actually very interested.
The other was Taking Woodstock. I remember when the commercials came out it seemed really interesting and I was looking forward to seeing it, but we ( I only watched a part of it) weren't that impressed. It had some interesting moments, but hubs watched the whole thing and said it was more of an "eh" movie. Since he loves the music from that time I thought he would for sure enjoy it. Guess not. I had more important things to, so it was just a dinner break movie for me. But after his observations I really wasn't inspired to watch the rest of it.
My sewing room can be kind of lonely sometimes and music isn't enough distraction. So I've taken to putting a netflix instant play movie. These are OK as long as i don't get drawn in. There was one I threw on while working that was about a girl who changed places from current times to the Bennett sisters and Mr Darcy. It was interesting, and if you ever read Diana Gabaldon's series of books about time travel into the past you could relate. The Title was Lost in Austen. If you've ever tried to imagine being part of Jane Austen's books and what it would be like to know the real Mr Darcy- not just Colin Firth , you'll probably enjoy this movie.
Well I've almost complete my company project. Had fittings today, to fine tune them. and will deliver completed for rehearsals later this week. Can't wait to take a photo of the company with skirts on.
Good thoughts to you,
