I haven't posted since my birthday, so I think it's high time I make myself know, and to let you all know that I'm alive and well, for the most part. Most of my time has been consumed with "A Christmas Story: The Musical," a show that I'll be a part of during the first weekend of December. I play the obnoxious Santa Claus at Higbee's. I have been working on my singing and speaking parts extensively. However, this evening, when I got onto stage to run my part, I totally blanked out. I'm not sure why, maybe it was doing this on stage for the first time. I know that I could not hear the lines of the other actors, so I know that's why I missed some cues. All in all, there is a lot of work to be done here. On a positive note, it's coming along, and it's going to be a great show! Are you coming? I'll be posting info on my Facebook page occasionally, so check that out.
I've also been struggling with a severe cough the past week. I can't seem to shake it. Although I think it is subsiding, it keeps me up at night, which can make for a pretty grumpy Rob in the morning. Despite medicine, medicine, and more medicine, the cough will not let go, and it's driving me totally out of my mind. Could I ask you to pray about that? It's also impeding my progress in the play.
It's coming down to crunch time as far as Thanksgiving is concerned. The day before Thanksgiving, I bake up a storm in the kitchen. On the menu are peanut butter balls, chocolate covered cherries, peppernuts, ooey gooey chocolate butter cake, black bottom (cappuccino-style) cupcakes, magic cookie bars, and peanut clusters. It's going to be a busy morning and afternoon, but I love it! Here's where that invitation comes in: On Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, I'll be having an open house from 2-5 for people to come by and sample the fare. I'll have the entire front room decorated for Christmas. My trees will be set up, as will my Christmas village. I love to entertain guests, so this is my personal invitation for you to visit my home at 721 East Avenue A and get some sweet treats. Please come by! :-)
I took some cough medicine a while ago, and it's starting to kick my tail, so I'm going to close out for now. Sorry it's such a short posting, but I hope you enjoyed the update! God bless!
