But also Happy Sit-at-the-Theatre Day!
You see, every two or three weeks the fam has a cleaning lady come clean the house. I guess when the two eldest children moved out, the parentals decided it was too late to teach Young Ann how to do chores so *BAM* now we have a maid. Anyway on these days we are not allowed to be at home. So we come sit here at the theatre until mid-afternoon or so. It's not bad. I'm just sitting around like I would be doing. It's just that I've been awake since 3:30 in the morning.
Yup my 6am shifts at Target are now 4:30am shifts. Woof. Good thing I'm used to early hours! 4:30 though... I mean sometimes I'm still awake at 4:30. (It's been a while but it happens.) Here's a rundown of a typical morning. We unload the truck. Then I head over and push all the Electronics/Entertainment products. If there's time afterward I stay and help stock other departments. I'm off by noon or 1pm, and then I have the rest of the day to do whatever I please! Not a bad gig if I do say so myself. Just early. Like before Jesus early.
In other news, I'm going to be in "The Nutcracker" for the first time in 10 years! Woo hoo! I'm helping out a friend who runs a ballet studio both in Newnan and in Peachtree City. When he asked if I wanted to be a Party Parent for his Party Scene I immediately said "YES!!!" Now anyone who's seen/performed in "The Nut" knows being a Party Parent isn't the most exciting job. But it's always fun to perform onstage. ANNND I get to be Mother Ginger in Act II! So if any of you have ever wanted to see Joe Moore dressed in drag... well maybe I should've said something earlier so you could plan ahead and see the show. But yeah it'll be a lot of fun!

| Joe Moore's last "Nut" 10 years ago |
In all my years of performing I was perfectly content being part of the ensemble slash I was dancing and didn't have lines slash I was in a wad of fur and couldn't talk. However this coming February that is going to change.
Newnan Theatre Company is performing Lewis Black's (yes THAT Lewis Black) "One Slight Hitch". It's set in the 80s (YAASSS), and it tells the story of a young woman and her family preparing for her wedding when the doorbell rings. It's her ex. It's MOI. Let the shenanigans begin!
If you haven't heard of the story, definitely look it up. Black's humor is pretty hilarious. It's not nearly as profane as what you'd think coming from Black, but there are a few choice words scattered throughout the show :P I'm definitely looking forward to branching out as a performer. We've got a great cast, and we're really gonna rock the house!
Okay. That's it for now. In closing here is a link to my latest terrible song obsession. Please shut off your brains and enjoy... "The Karate Rap"!
