One Year Old

Oh no, I missed my own anniversary!

September 8, 2008, I earnestly began my blog, and along with it my quest to rid myself of some theatrical baggage…  And good God, I must say I’m rather amazed and proud that I actually stuck with something!  For (over) a whole year!  Thanks for reading and sticking with me, my dear bloggie friends.

For old time’s sake, let’s celebrate in haiku:

Three auditions down
And I didn’t burst in flames
Gimme more, more, more

My quest is over,
My Moo is bigger, and now
The future is bright

(Except for dentists,
and getting older ugh ugh,
and dirty dishes.)

Umm, introspection?
Just not feeling it tonight,
Conan in my ear.

I think this calls for
A batch of rainbow cupcakes
And frosting (and booze).

Haiku Friday!

Already Friday,
and still haven’t watched new Lost.
Wherefore J. Bentham?

*****

Runny nose, hack, coff!
Who can save Moo from bad cold?
Humidifier.

*****

Chita Rivera,
Please tell me how I can cure
My rehearsal blues.

*****

Depressed by dead plants.
Today, Moo and I ATTACK!
More potting soil, please.

*****

Moo: “I have idea!”
“Tell me your idea, Moo.”
“No! It’s a surprise…”

*****

Please contribute your own haiku (5/7/5)  in the comments!  Long live Haiku Friday!

Haiku Friday!

My to-do list grows
while my desire to not-do
grows even stronger

*****

Cursed harmonies
You haunt my days and my nights
and assault my ears

*****

Michael Phelps smoked pot-
Oh no! The horror! Who cares?
I guess the news does.

*****

Moo on Superbowl:
“Red one say, ‘Are you okay?’
Then run to mommy!”

*****

Rod Blagojevich,
Your mad foolishness cheers me
during these dark times.

So soon! Mustn’t drop the ball -

*****

La! La! I sound great!
Wish I could audition when
I’m in the shower.

*****

Mommy, bandaids off!
Yes, Moo, the bandaids are off.
I have special treat?

*****

Her black cloud of hair
On the pillow – Snow White needs
her magic kiss now.

*****

Miracle airplane,
Everybody safe – good news!
But how are those birds?

Stuffy nose, coff coff
Shouldn’t have shared my toothbrush
With my sick kiddo

*****

Deck the halls, fa la
La la la la la la la
Hee hee oh Christmas…

*****

I need my hair cut,
but cannot visit Olaf,
because he found this.

*****

Watching ‘Santa Clause’…
Oh jeez, Tim Allen makes me cry
Nah, it’s the cute kid.

*****

No shows this weekend,
Nothing on the horizon…
Back where I started?

I will dream of you

*****

Asleep on the couch
I should help him get to bed
But I’ll miss him so

*****

Another morning
What? No coffee?! No Bailey’s?!
Agh eeg argh ugh thud.

*****

Trying to ignore
Our re-upped evil sheriff
Think Obama – ahhhh.

Don’t forget to contribute your own miniature works of poetic genius in the comments below!  (Helpful reminder:  Haiku = 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables.  Confession:  I just had to look up the word “syllable” because I suddenly got it and “consonant” confused.  So very sleep-deprived.  Or just dopey.

Haiku Friday

Haiku Friday returns!

Stockmarket collapse
and economic crisis -
Hey!  Let’s watch Dodgeball!

*****

Orange Tree Golf Resort-
Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles, yay!
Cocktails too, of course.

*****

Outbid once again!
O Ebay, thou heartless wench.
You too, Linn-yun12.

*****

Dear Fresh and Easy,
I think I’m in love with you.
Don’t tell my husband.

 

*** Remember to celebrate Haiku Friday by contributing a haiku of your own in the comments section, or God won’t love you anymore.

*** No, that’s not true, God will probably still love you.  But He will definitely be displeased, and we don’t want that, do we?

Haiku Friday

Sneaky veggies? Yay!
Thank you, Jessica Seinfeld
Here’s some more money

*****

Heroes has returned!
And with it, Sylar nightmares
And Sylar sex dreams?

*****

Dear Sarah Palin,
Hey! We border Mexico!
I should be Vice President!
(with apologies to staunch conservatives…)

A Moo Haiku:

Mommy, triangle!
Mommy, triangle pumpkin!
Peez?  Thank you, Mommy!

Haiku Friday

Dirty Kleenexes
Wadded up in the basket
Boogers go away

“Mommy, Caillou peez!”
Just get in the bath, Caillou
Before I kill you
