Well, I've been looking forward to today since Christmas. Santa brought tickets to the theater for myself, my DD and my DH. We're going to see "The Little Shop of Horrors". It's one of my favorite movies, sooo funny. We also got the cash to eat at Kim Son afterwards - a great ( I hear ) restuarant. Woohoo, no cooking or cleaning!

But, before that, I perform ( I'm a clogger) at a local mall where there's a chili cook off today. I tried to get out of it, but the group's leader said that I was really needed ( better than not being needed, I guess ). The problem is that it's outside and it's been nasty and COLD! The weather man has promised nicer weather for today - I'm keeping my fingers crossed. After the performance, I'm changing clothes in the mall restroom and heading for the matinee performance in the theater district of Houston. Hopefully I'll look presentable. Oh well, nobody will care but me anyway

The good news is that my back has been acting much much better lately and I haven't been having a lot of pain. I hope that keeps up! My daily exercises have helped a lot. I haven't even needed the muscle relaxers for tha last couple of months. I do hate arthritis , but I'm learning how to live with it.

I'm off to eat breakfast, put on my clogging costume and start the day!
