Unofficial June 28 entry

I had a bit of an interesting day. My car decided to play dead with me as I was about to leave for work and take Cory to the train. So, I ended up having to train it up to Evanston and then cabbing it to work. Not fun. Not fun at all. Did I mention it was raining and its a 10 minute walk to the train? Yeah...But I made it and had a fun day with the kids. (I just hate being late to work especially when its a brand new job and you have to call in with the "My car won't start" excuse which ALWAYS sounds lame, even if it is true.)

When I got home, it was time to tackle the dreaded monologue again in preparation for my auditions. I was super nervous for some reason and felt like throwing in the towel and going out for Martinson! But, I called my friend B and she gave me a good pep talk and off to the auditions I went. And sure enough, they both went great: no tragic blanking out in the middle of my performance leaving me to suddenly end it with a little soft shoe routine.

Our neighbor Chris, the miracle worker, came over later on that night and got our car started. And then I ate way too many turkey brats. Mmmmmmmmmm, sweet turkey brats. It's like having a little bit of heaven in a bun. Well, maybe that's being a bit dramatic....No, no I think I'll stick with it. Heaven in a bun.

And I'll leave you with that thought...

Happy birthday sweet Willie~
