Time management

Thursday, February 18, 2010
Just another day ... checking things off the "to do list". Which strangely enough never seems to get any shorter. Wouldn't it be great to actually find yourself with nothing on the "to do list"? I guess that is what retirement might be about.

But then again, having absolutely nothing to do would get boring ... and I for one, seem to enjoy making lists mentally or on paper of the things I would like to accomplish ... today, tomorrow, within the week, the month, the year ... making order out of chaos ... or a semblance of order, at least!

Today's list includes: remembering to buy toilet paper, taking Nic out grocery shopping, finishing the alterations on Nic's formal dress (only got half done yesterday), driving Nic back to Guelph ... and that's just the highlights.

Stefani had a great audition yesterday. Absolutely wowed their socks off. I get a kick out of watching her change adults' preconceptions of "child actors". And there's no greater compliment to me or Stefani ... than hearing an adult blubber on about how "professional" Stefani is. As soon as that word leaves the tip of their tongues, I realize that prior to their Stef-encounter, they figured "child actors" were just awkward, big dreamed kids ... you know, snotty nosed and undirectable. In this case, Stefani may have just convinced them not to write the daughter role out of their script.

Anyways ... Stefani loves auditioning ... so nothing lost. Though we did hear back about "Dream House" ... and the role went to a young Hollywood actress. Not a Canadian actor in the bunch. Oh well ... at least she got to audition for an A-list casting director ...

I think we're going to cheer Big Tim's girls on Friday night ... they're down from Sudbury for a hockey tournament (northern Toronto ... well, almost Aurora). Stef loves Brianna and Alyssa ... so that should be fun!

Saturday she's on set all day ...

Okay ... enough chatting, time to get working on that "to do list"!
