C'mon get happy

I'm taking a bit of an inventory of things going on in my life, and trying to wrap up the monthlong pity party that April has been by doing something fun and exciting in May. The adoption roller coaster will continue along, as will the elderly-parents-poor-health teacup ride, but I'm hopeful that I can offset that with some fun.

So, here is the fun I have to look forward to in the reasonably near future:

1. I'm going to Ste Genevieve, Missouri, to visit an archaeological dig that a friend of mine is working on. French colonial.

2. A new biography of my great-great grandfather supposedly will go to press in June after many delays. Because of the delays, I was able to get in touch with the author and send him some photos of inherited objects to include in the book, so yay!

3. Lill Street Gallery has some early summer session art classes that only go for 3 or 4 weeks in June, which is just about right for my schedule and pocketbook.

4. I have two pretty good stories all plotted out in my head, so I'm going to start writing them this weekend.

5. A bunch of girls from my dorm are having a 20-year reunion here in town--we'll all have dinner together and with luck I'll get to make some new old friends.

6. I'm going to see Iron Man this week no matter what's on the schedule!

What fun do you have on the horizon?

Memorial weekend, my whole family's going to be in Providence for my niece's college graduation. First time we've all been together since 2004, for my parents' 50th anniversary celebration (even though they weren't married at the time...).

Farther ahead, Worldcon is coming up. My sister and I are both going. And we had the foresight to buy our plane tickets before fuel costs skyrocketed.

On a smaller scale and closer to home, I'm looking forward to the new Indiana Jones and the new X-Files movies.

Tonight, the Bell Shakespeare's latest touring production comes to town; this year it's As You Like It, which I haven't seen before.

Thursday is opening night for Little Shop of Horrors; I'll be playing a couple of minor but very memorable characters.

I do intend to see Iron Man at some point, once the time-crunch surrounding Little Shop has eased off a bit. (Not to mention catch up on email and sleep, not necessarily in that order.)
