Tomorrow I start play auditions. I chose and easy fun show this year. I hope that the kids enjoy it. I consider it easy because the set design and costuming are extremely easy and inexpensive, and it's a show I have done a few times before so making decisions for blocking are much easier than with a show that I have never done before. I hope I can keep a journal of my thoughts for this show as I get closer to the performances.
My only concern right now is that I am a little low on the numbers for auditions, but that usually works itself out. I'll try to keep the notes together with this one.
So, my reading is doing well, and I thin k the goal of 10,000 pages for this year is going to be easily reached. I just finished Par for the Course by Ray Blackston. I like his light humor and take on life in his series, and I like that it is set in Charleston close to home.. The book totals 241 pages. I don't think I have marked that I finished James Patterson's 4th of July too. It is another of the Women's Murder Club mysteries. I am one of those people who will read an entire series if I find that I like the first ones.. This is shaping up to be true with these books. They are quick reads for me. This book had about 320 pages. I'll do math about how many pages I have so far this year.. I am doing well though!

More Books...
After having several days when I was not able to log onto my blog because of the parental controls on our pc, I am back and ready to write about several things going on in my life...
READING- I am continuing on with my quest to read 10,000 pages this year and to read a book every week or two. The last week I have read a couple of things...
The first is a play 30 reasons not to do a play that I was looking at for my spring production. I liked it but I did not like the fact that it is not a play in the sense of having a set design and plot line, but rather it is a group of people talking to the audience and acting in small vignettes. I am know down to either Backstage or Tales of the Arabian Nights for my show.. Both would be good, but I just need to flip a coin... My page total for this one is 50 pages.
I have been reading a really great book called Organic God by Margaret Feinberg. She is a great writer that makes reading about God and what I love most about Jesus really easy. Rick ad I spent some time talking the other night about how I can read a fiction novel of 300 pages in a period of hours and I have been reading Organic God for over a week and am nearly at 100 pages. I am still not finished. I was frustrated at the slowness of the reading but Rick suggested that reading something deep and meaningful takes me longer to read than the funky fun books I normally enjoy.
I picked up James Patterson's next book in the Women's Murder Club. Third Degree was a quick read and Patterson is still able to have some twists I do not expect. I like that in a mystery. This one was 390 pages.
Not sure what I want to do next. I think it is time for some literature.. Something I have enjoyed before and want to read again. Maybe To Kill a Mockingbird or something like that. I also want to finish Organic God.
