early xmas at La Casa Deafgirl

my player came today and it is the sweetest thing ever. i've already filled it up with music (about 170 songs) and set up the fm station presets on the radio. it's day one and i couldn't be more pleased with it.

this weekend one of our cast members had a party for the xmas carol adults/nat staff and we all had a blast. i hadn't had a drink in weeks to save up and boy did i cash in. the best part was that i had just enough to drink, and budgeted it out responsibly, so i was in the buzzy/happy place all night. not too much, but just enough to cause a little mischief and have a social butterfly time.

this thursday is another meeting for the mardi gras party, we're back at "the big house" - the posh, riverfront home where we're holding the actual event. last thursday alan and i (mostly alan) gave a presentation of the design plan, complete with visual aids and a chalkboard.
with the help of the host, we've managed to delegate a significant portion of the scavenging and legwork to the other members of the "krewe" so that the amount of time alan and i have to dedicate has decreased dramatically. thank god.

the mural at alan's is coming slowly; i'm getting frustrated and i suspect his partner is too, but i have so much going on that i just don't have the time free that i want to dedicate to it to get it done as quickly as i would like. alan understands, and is a prince about the whole thing. i plan to head over there tomorrow night to get more done, and hopefully get closer to the light at the end of this artistic tunnel.

i talk too much.
