The Face of Exhaustion

This is the face of utter exhaustion.

I took this photo last Monday, after having worked yet another 12 hour day.  And Monday was my day off from my real job of rehearsing.  I’ve had some stolen moments of down time here and there, but I actually haven’t had a proper day off since August 21st.  I love my job, and I love being busy, but I can’t wait for this show to open so that I can have a free day.  I plan to spend at least one day in my pajamas reading an excellent book, watching episodes of Mad Men on Netflix, ogling Pinterest, and taking as many naps throughout the day as I please.

This must be how people with children feel ALL THE TIME.  I shudder to think of it.

One Week ‘Til Beer Darts!

Somehow, a tradition started at our house three years ago.  Beer Darts.  For those of you who haven’t heard of this game, it’s pretty simple – you throw darts at beer cans, and when you hit one, you shotgun the beer.  You play on teams of two, sitting in lawn chairs about 10′ apart, and you shake up a beer can and place it between your chairs.  Then you throw darts at it.  The best part is, you don’t even have to drink beer to play this game – either someone else will drink it for you, or you can play with non-alcoholic beer.  There’s even talk of using gluten-free beer this year.  Everybody wins at Beer Darts.  It’s become like Christmas – it happens once a year and brings everyone much joy.

Oh yeah, and did I mention this year there’s T-shirts?
