Great big stuff!

I saw the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Broadway musical the other night. I can't believe I'd never heard of it before. I laughed my way through the entire thing. It is definitely a talented writer who can use the words "smorgasboard" and "Lorenzo Lamas" in musical verse.

Of course, the Freddy character stole the show. I loved the Great Big Stuff number and he could just let loose with playing Ruprecht.

Ruprecht's all about
Sun and soda-pop,
Paws on puppy-dogs, candy-canes,
Ruprecht's all about
Chocolate bunnies and
Lazy afternoons and daisy-chains.

Ruprecht's all about hugs and
valentines-

RUPREHT
-Milkshake enemas-

LAWRENCE
-Fun and play.
Ruprecht's all about-

RUPRECHT
-Burmese belly-rubs,
Fresh-shaved testicles
On Christmas day.

I love it!

And now for something completely different.
I've had this gloom hanging over me in 2009. After losing two pregnancies this year, I feel like it's finally lifting. It could be part of the mourning process which I never really consciously tried to get work through. As with most things I do, I let it happen organically and I think I'm shaking off the fog that's been so heavy for the past eight months. I've never been a planner and I do it now as part of business process but lists don't run my life. It just takes me longer to do things, get over things...

I know this change in spirits is a sign of better days. The thing about internal locus of control is, instead of dwelling on what I could've done to prevent this gloom, I should've focused on what I was feeling and dealt with that. Ah well, live and learn.
