To start things off, While creating the title to this entry, a thought rushed through my head....I wonder if the use of "y" or "ie" at the end of a word to describe something changes by if it's a man or woman writing it. hmmm...
Today was a busy day.
It started out in Mount Vernon talking to more businesses about becoming sponsors of the Children's book distribution program, got to have lunch with my dad and sister, which is now officially going on 5 weeks without siezures (woohoo!), I had a bowl of Steak N Shake Chilli (the first bowl they brought out to me had 3 beans in it and the rest was brown water. after asking if that was normal, she brought out a new one which was a LOT meatier! yum!), and ended the working day by meeting up with my sales manager who helped me put together my first mailing to the headquarters for my first paycheck!
After that I talked with the CEO about the future with Blue Dog, and he was excited that I made a few sales this week! It feels good to be appreciated doesn't it?!? I talked with him on the phone on my way to a pottery sale at SIU Edwardsville. I've never walked on the college grounds there, so it literally took me 45 minutes to find the building the sale was in! That was a cool time, a slight hint of incense permiated the air, but you could definately tell the art students selling their works knew what they were doing and loved every second of it.
Then I made my way to the Belleville East High School campus where they were performing their verson of A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is amazing all the ways TomTom tries to take you from Edwardsville to Belleville. I stopped and grabbed a few Krispy Kreme doughnuts on the way to celebrate such a good week (and to feed my sweet tooth) and still managed to get to the school 40 minutes early (Plenty of time to enjoy my doughnuts while listening to a mix between B.O.B. and Chris Thomlin flipped between radio channels). I remembered A Midsummer Night's Dream from when I was a kid in grade school and we took a field trip to see it, a) performed by the high school as a way to show us what we could be a part of when we got to high school, and b) performed by a college with full fog and light effects! (neither of which kept me from falling asleep)
Maybe it's because I'm 25 and now able to add scenes together better because of a bigger vocabulary, or because my mind has become so insane that something like this play actually started making sense, but in either case Belleville East had me laughing through the whole thing and occasionally on the edge of my seat! For a high school Fall play, I give it 4 out of 5 gold stars.
For those of you that have never witnessed Shakespear's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", picture four people battling with who loves who, a group of poor townsfolk who are horrible at acting but are trying to impress the king/president with their skills of writing a play, and woodland ferries that get mixed up in the middle of it all....then you kinda get the idea of how it can be kinda confusing to a kid seeing it for the first time in grade school.
I'm glad I got to experience today.
