"...because really, it was.&nbsp;&nbsp; The women I was nominated with all ROCKED, and the woman that did win played my mother in Steel Magnolias; she actually even looks a little like my mom.&nbsp; To put it in her words when I hugged her after, \"Oh, Carrie, you just can't top a 20 minute monologue at the end of the show.\" Yup.&nbsp; A truer word was never spoken.&nbsp; Soooooo...&nbsp; I ate, drank, had hubs as arm candy, and I did win an award.&nbsp; The staff of the theatre gives out \"SALT\" awards...&nbsp; like jokes; but they're fun, everyone really likes them.&nbsp; I got one for The Lonesome West (see all of March &amp; April for my bitching and whining about that).&nbsp; It's&nbsp;a black comedy set in Ireland with A LOT OF SWEARING.&nbsp; It's a seriously funny script.&nbsp; I was Asst. Director, and I had to read in lines for the actors that were missing (along with 4,563 other various duties).&nbsp;&nbsp;There were only four characters in that show, so no one was absent much.&nbsp; The first time they were I started reading, and had to stop half way through the line the language was so bad.&nbsp; It had a hard time coming out of my mouth. (It's different when you're home alone and stub your toe, or are really mad - then they just roll right off ;)).&nbsp; But by the end of the run, I could do it -&nbsp;no problem.&nbsp; Anyhoo, they were proud that they'd corrupted me; I got the \"Pardon my French\" SALT award.&nbsp; It was funny. Maybe you had to be there. Or have slammed back had three &nbsp; some &nbsp; a few cocktails. Jayme (L)&nbsp;and I were nominated, Cindi (C)&nbsp;won. I wish the pic was full length.&nbsp; It's a&nbsp;really pretty dress. Sweet Jason.&nbsp; He house &amp; dog sat for us last week. The girls of playwrighting!&nbsp; The scribe, El Cyd, and the one who won outstanding student of the year!&nbsp; Congrats!&lt;/div&gt; The Artistic Director of the theatre wants to set up a meeting for me to teach more classes.&nbsp; (Heidi's leaving - how 'bout that for an inside scoop Carlee (if you'd ever comment I'd remember your damn username)&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;alittleredhood&nbsp;?)&nbsp; Maybe I'll get theatre 3 &amp; 4 back?&nbsp; Or better yet, Junior and Senior company?&nbsp; That would be awesome.&nbsp; I miss teaching acting.&nbsp;&nbsp; So all in all, a good evening.&nbsp; Not the icing, but definitely the cake.&nbsp; *wink*"
