You may also notice the look is quite a bit different.  This will change, actually.  This is a free theme that I grabbed until I get around to re-designing everything. I hope to do that in the next couple of months.

Finally, you may come across some missing images, broken links, etc…this is the next thing I hope to fix.  Moving to WordPress can be easy from other platforms, but our old one was created from scratch, by yours truly.  What this means, is I basically have to roll up my sleeves and go through verifying all images and links.  This will take some time, but I don’t want the blog to fall into obscurity, and some of the posts don’t even make sense without the accompanying images.

So those are the changes in a nutshell.  The RSS feed has also been updated to http://feeds.feedburner.com/rustyandben.  Here’s to a good new year full of great blog posts!

Please mark your calendars for the weekend of November 22nd. Ben has a gig and that is our opening weekend for Our Town. We will post with more details as it gets closer.

That is all.

:-)

Monday: I got to see my little sister and her boyfriend for a bit. Jason, Ben and I had dinner at a fancy little Mexican place, inside a bowling alley.

Tuesday: Ben purchased his drum kit. I can’t believe he didn’t post a picture here. He really doesn’t love you anymore.

Wednesday: Ben played his drums. Lissa and I went to auditions. Lissa has accepted the assistant producer position for the winter show, The Rainmaker. I have accepted the role of “Mrs Webb,” in Our Town. I get to play a mom. :)

Thursday: Ben played his drums. I hung out with Lissa and Riley. We had lunch at the crepe place downtown. My crepe had feta cheese and olives and other assorted tasty things in it. Ask Ben about the peanut butter cup crepe. yummy.

Fri: I woke up with a kink in my neck. That night, Ben and I hung out with a few friends, doing insanely dorky things. We also ate pizza. :)

Sat: Ben had band practice. He moved the drums out of the spare room!! Lissa and I went to dinner at The Melting Pot. Riley went to grandma’s house, and her mommy had two glasses of wine. It was a good night.

Sun (today!): Ben ate kiwi fruit for the very first time! I am making cookies to take to a BBQ later this afternoon. My neck still hurts.

Whew! I told you it was a busy week. Next week looks to be a bit calmer, but the weekend will be crazy. Ben’s 10-year high school reunion is Saturday, and I have to get a new outfit and my nails done. I am taking a 4-day weekend for the occasion. It takes time to look like a trophy wife. :)

I am in utter amazement that they have never known a time without Rusty Cola. How many people in my life can say that; How many people in my life can I say that about? It’s a very important responsibility that I take very seriously. I hold must constantly hold myself to the highest standard of fun. We have lots of fun.

They make me happy.

Friday evening and most of the day Saturday, I was lucky to attend a community theatre convention. Thirteen different groups from around Cincinnati brought excerpts from their shows of the past year. There was so much talent! I was able to see pieces I had never seen before and revisit shows I saw earlier in the season. I didn’t get much sleep on Friday night; it was so worth it! I have a few auditions coming up over the next few weeks, and I am so ready to go!

Today, Lissa and Riley took me to the zoo. We walked around for a few hours and had lunch. The cafeteria had veggie burgers! The Cincinnati Zoo has a platform that you can feed the giraffes off of. They sell oversized wheat thins to feed the towering animals. Lissa and I participated; Ri did not. Riley paid more attention to the people than the animals. She did seem to notice the elephants, though. I love to watch the wheels turning in her pretty head. She’s getting things figured out. Next up: world domination.

:)

and she’s a genius: she shares.

I love her.

This may be the most completely boring post ever.

Thank goodness for silly pictures to keep you distracted.
