Showtime!

Before I delve into the excitement I'm feeling about tonight's show, I have to gush about my nephew Graham.  On Sunday evening I took the boys up to my parents house.  My Aunt Trudy was there (who I lived with when I lived in Vegas - LOVE her!) and Jess and Marty were there, too - with leetle Graham!  He is the cutest thing ever - a carbon copy of Marty, dimples and all.  Cole and Graham were staring at each other, talking to each other - ohmygosh, it was the cutest thing watching them.  They're only 6 weeks apart - just look at these wee cousins!

Yesterday Cody and I ran some errands, got the car washed, etc.  We stopped to have some lunch and let Cache play at the park.  It wasn't very warm, but Cache didn't seem to mind!  He was climbing on everything and had to go on every slide.  He even went down the highest one there!  I was so proud.  The sunshine is infectious - I've said it before and I'll say it again - when it's sunny out, you get all this energy to get things done!  And boy, we have a list of things.  Today our house is in shambles because we are working on putting up the chair rail in Cache's room, flipping his bed (It's one of those beds where it can either sit on the floor or be raised higher so he can climb a ladder to it - we're pretty sure that he's used to sleeping in a bed and not a crib, so he won't fall out...we hope), and going through his vast inventory of toys.  I even used a nail gun for the first time today!  You know when you watch those home improvement shows and they have the wife use power tools for the first time?  And she's all, "Oooh, that's sorta loud, there now" or "Gee, these are fun!  I think I need to get some for me!  Bah-hahaha!"  Yeah, well, I was totally that chick today.  Maybe not as bad, but I was doing the girly sound effects every time the gun went off.  I was all, "Ooh!" - those suckers are loud!  But the fact that I can still see and have all my appendages should speak volumes of my radness.  Volumes.

And finally, yes, tonight is the Cheap Thrills show.  Ahh!  I think it was better not knowing I was in the show until just before, because I'm feeling a wee bit nervous.  Mostly excited, but I actually have people coming to see me tonight and I truly hope I'm not lame.  The theme tonight is Modern-Day Film Noir, so as a tribute to the style of film I'm going to curl my hair and hopefully it will look saucy, ala Marilyn Monroe...ish.  We'll see!  I think Tanya might come over and we'll be getting ready together - curling hair, eyelashes, putting on each other's lipstick, having a pillow fight...Wish me luck!  I'm ready for my close up...
