now why you gonna go and do that?

I love Target. It is one of my favorite places...although it also gets me in the most trouble. I know others have this problem, but for some reason you try and go to Target with hopes of getting one thing, and then all of a sudden like you are at the register, and the cashier is telling you that you owe 100.00. And you are like...what the heck did I get?

Well anyways today I went to Target. I went to buy t-shirt transfer paper, and a new ink cartridge for my printer. Well they didn't have the transfer paper which sucks. But I got the ink cartridge, and shampoo, and conditioner, and a sweater...but that is beside the point.

As sort of a treat to end my shopping experience when i go to Target I usually stop in the food court place and either get a pop corn, or an icee, or both. Today I was going for the icee. Oh and just a sidebar, you can get both a popcorn, and an icee for 1.28!

Well I got the icee cup, and headed over to the machine. and much to my dismay the regular icee flavor (cherry) was nowhere to be found. Instead there was only black thunder (?) and some mountain dew orange flavor. Well I guess I don't even need to mention that I didn't know Mountain Dew came in orange. But why did they have to take away cherry? Or atleast if they are going to take away cherry leave the old Coca Cola ICEE stand-by. But neither were there. ANd I was forced to drink the orange kind...because let me tell you...I was not going any where near that Black Thunder B/S.

It just makes me sad you know. Why did they have to go and take away a perfectly good thing? Haven't they heard of the old saying "if it aint broke..don't fix it?" The cherry ICEE is classic...Classic and delicious. And Target was one of the only places that still served the frothy delight. Are we truly in a world that classic ICEE's in classic flavors are a thing of the past? And do we have to settle for imitations?

I still love Target...and I hope that this new ICEE thing was just a one time thing. Because I will be checking back...oh believe you me. This one is not going by the way side.

Moon Over Pics...I am the one in the blue. ;)

Here are pics from my last show...
Cast photo, me and my granddaughter, and me...enjoy!

so sorry

Well I have been a little bit busy. And please don't think because I have the time to write a quick blog to my friends that my business has subsided....because it has not. I will be busy until the first week of December. At that point I will be able to catch up with all of you that I miss dearly, and have not been a good friend to these past few months.

You may wonder...what have I been doing with myself, and keeping so busy...or you might not care...at any rate you are here now...so might as well read on.

First I was in a show, and that show went up a few weeks ago. Directly after the show closed I had auditions for another show...Scrooge. No not Bill Murrays Scrooged (notice the different spelling) but none-the-less practically the same story line. So now instead of being on the stage I have taken the reigns of a director. And this gig is a paying one! It is so different directing than acting. Actors have it sooo easy. They take care of themselves, and thats it. As a director you are in charge of everyone. And it can be daunting at times. But Im sure that is why they are paying me the big bucks...;)

I am also now selling Mary Kay Cometics. I enjoy make-up, and love the color pink so I said what the hey...threw caution to the wind, and now I am a full fledged beauty consultant. Please visit my website www.marykay.com/corinarice and i can be your personal rep. The skin care line is amazing...seriously ladies its number one in the WORLD. And there make-up is fun too.

This weekend we are getting ready for Homecoming 2006. This is the one weekend a year that all the ladies that I graduated with...and the men too come back together to tie one on just like we were in college. Friday night we are having a cocktail party at me and S's and then Saturday mimosas in the morning followed by a day of tailgating, and the "big" game. Then we will round things up with a dinner at Chicos. I can't wait to see everyone...but my house is also a mess, and I have not quite scheduled when I am going to clean it up.

So in closing I will try and post more often...I have been a bad blogger and I apologize. Until then...for all you pirates missing homecoming this year...you will be missed. For all those who never were a pirate...well...you are just missing out. no but seriously I love you.

first i felt stupid...then i felt old...

So last night at rehersal I was backstage talking with one of the younger members of the cast. He is 17....whew...17! Anyways I said something, and it was a quote from a FRIENDs episode....if you know the quote then great. It was one the Pheobe said to someone..."She's his lobster" I love that quote, but when I said it the boy in the cast just stared at me blankly. I just assumed that he didn't know that particular quote so I told him it was from friends, and he replied..."Oh..I have never seen that show"...I couldn't believe it. But then he was probably in elementary school when the show was in its hay day. But to me its just one of those shows that everyone should have atleast seen once...right???? Or is the show just part of my generation and up??

**On another totally random note, on nick at nite now they have been showing Designing Women...the old ones with Suzanne, and Charlene. I love that show. I would love to work at the Sugerbaker design firm.

Happy Columbus Day to ME!

My tooth is killing me. I had dental work done last week, and one tooth refuses to get well. Also my allergies are acting up...that could be blamed on the fact that for the past month I have been working on a show in a theatre, that like most theatres, is old, and dusty.

But neither my allergies or a throbbing tooth could bring me down. Because once this week is over Im pretty excited about this weekend...

My show opens Thurs. and it promises to be a laugh out loud hit. We are dying for an audience, and once we have one it will really take off. I have missed being on stage, and having an audience, and getting to hold for their laughter.

My man is coming, and staying not 2 but 3 nights! Im really excited about this because doing the long distance thing weekends are really all we usually have..but since he has Columbus Day off from work he gets to stay through Monday. This makes me happy.

My parents are coming for my show Saturday. I love my parents, and haven't seen them since the first of August. I know that isn't a long time, but Im looking forward to seeing them.

Also, there will be a lot of people in town. I wish I could say they were all making the trip to see my show, well some of them are, but in reality they are coming for the UVA vs. ECU game. At any rate it will be good to see old friends.

So now I just have to get through the week...which at this rate seems like it will never end. sigh.
