yesterday was Curmudgeons Day

Last night I missed writing in this blog but it was for the best possible reason. I was tired and happy after spending most of the day with my daughter and her family. We were all celebrating her safe return from a six month deployment. But, since I didn't write yesterday, I must comment on the special day that was celebrated yesterday. Yesterday was Curmudgeons Day. I was much too busy being happy to act like a curmudgeon but happily I have another chance. I have a small part in an upcoming play at First Presbyterian Theater and the role is definitely curmudgeonly. I get to be nasty, harsh and grumpy in both of my scenes. In fact the director has told me that I am too smiley by nature and I need to practice pursing my mouth and looking mean. So don't be surprised if you see me looking mean. I'm only practicing. It's just an act. Today, on the other hand, is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day and who doesn't appreciate a good session of bubble popping? That should bring a smile to everyone's face. Sadly I used my last piece of bubble wrap to wrap a package lately so I guess I'm back to being curmudgeon;y.
