Is it fair to say that I can't wait for this weekend? Because I totally can't!

This weekend is the second week of Shakespeare in the Park here in Bloomington. And the boyfriend and I are going to go with another couple. Though, Donnie says that double dates defeat the purpose of a date. :XD:

I went to both performances last weekend with other friends and I just have to say that they are doing a marvelous job so far. It is a Shakespeare Sampler, meaning there are scenes from many different Plays written by William Shakespeare. They all tell you when the play was written and the gist of the play. And, in-between scenes, they present the first five lines of "To be or not to Be" from Hamlet in several different languages. Including: Hungarian, French, Spanish, Japanese and German.

The Actors are excellent and the choices in scenes is impeccable. I wish that my friends on here were in Indiana so that you could see it with me. The show is free and you sit in the beautiful park and listen to Shakespeare. An Ideal Date, if you ask me. Then again I am in LOVE with Shakespeare!! :XD: He makes me so weak in the knees :giggle:

And, even though they didn't do any scenes from my favorite Shakespeare play, the scenes they chose were not only humorous but full of drama and death and romance like only Shakespeare can produce.

My personal favorite play by Shakespeare is Othello, which will be performed in September. If I'm in Indiana long enough I might try my hand at it. :D Anyway, WEEKEND HURRY UP FOR ME!!

Oh, not only am I going to see Shakespeare, I am going to be getting to see my god-son, Corbin, for the first time. Admittedly, I don't know why my friend continues to call me his God-mother, since I ended up having kidney stones and wasn't even there for the birth. And I haven't gotten to visit him once since his arrival into the World. Did I mention that he was born in SEPTEMBER?! And now it is JUNE! I haven't seen the child yet and he'll be a year old in a few months!! Ah well...

But I do get to see him this Saturday and I'll be visiting until probably Tuesday or Wednesday which gives me a few days to get acquainted with my god-baby. I am excited!!

I am also excited because I got "Pan's Labyrinth" and "A Tale of Two Sistes" from the library yesterday and I fully intend on watching one or both of them tonight if possible.

On a more solemn note, one reason for the Weekend NOT to come is that this weekend my ex-step-father is taking my mom back to court to try to have Hannah permanently taken away from us. Well, not so permanent, but definitely impede our being an active part of her life. He wants our mid-week visits removed, our joint legal custody changed to him having full legal custody and our 3 months that we are supposed to have Hannah (since it summer time) knocked down to 2 weeks. So, anyone who believes in prayers and faith, keep us in your thoughts.

Well I'm off of here to try to read and see if I can't conjure a muse for me. Toodles! :D
