Good rainy evening! Maybe this isn't a good place for me to visit...all this talk about java...now I have a craving for a big ol mug!!! :lol: I'm thinking about some Highlander Grogg...mmmmm.... Went to Hobby Lobby today. They had their scrapbook stickers 50% off- and I still spent over 30 bucks on CHRISTMAS stickers!!! Lol! I should have enough Christmas stickers to scrapbook the next 10 Christmas's! 
I also bought some CHRISTMAS lights for next year, 80% off - what a deal!! I saw our neighbors taking down their Christmas decorations today & my hubby took down our outside reindeer, santa & sleigh - so sad! I was going to let my inside decorations up until after the Buckeye game on Monday night, but now I'm thinking I might just take them down tomorrow. I'll see once! What a bummer! ONE more night to sit in the dark with only the Chrsitmas lights on. But I can't wait to get out all my snowmen...that will be fun!! Always have to have something to look forward too....
Have a great night ya'll!!!

Ok here goes... THE OPERA PART XXVIII "T8he Snow Queen"
Part One:
Scene- winter wonderland... ice, snow, Dairy Queen in background..... Blue and Silver Blizzards
Cedar enters and begins taking pictures all around.. She is wearing her Dusty Springfield Wig and sings the beautiful aria " I am not a drfit.." others enter including Maureen who immediately asks via an aria to "Take a picture of the background since the icicles appear to weave an intersting plaid pattern.." Cedar does and the two begin plotting to open a chain of Holly Lobby Stores which feature the new " CEDMO" photographs which feature plaid backgrounds. Holiday enters and via an aria announces that she too wants a piece of the retail picture. As Act One comes to a close, we see a Holly Lobby Store being erected next to the Dairy Queen. There is much rejoicing at the possibility of new retail store and an abundance of minimum wage jobs. Cedar continues taking pictures and sings the aria " The Look of Love is a Eckhardt 1000 Multi Disc Chromatic Camera..."
end Act 1
Act two..
Crown enters (lights dim, flowers wilt, cars stall, children scream...) and announces in an aria that there will be no store as they will use their powers to stop the picture taking. In an aria, they announce that "The flash from the picture taking is keeping me awake.." Radiojon appears and in a booming aria announced "The Holly Lobby is closed and will be turned into a mattress factory. Crown uses their powers to imprison Cedar in the Dairy Queen, where she is forced to work with blizzards. Binger appears and sings the aria "Even a mocha java jolt does not bring me happiness.. I miss the CEDMO pictures" Jayish enters and dances a paus du lux entitled "Urgent: It's not a song from 1980 by Foreigner.. It is a song about middle aged men..." ( pause here to allow audience to recover from laughter)... despite the lightness of the moment.. there is great saddness. We see Cedar in the background sitting at the dairy queen and molding her blizzard into a sculpture of a tractor while bluegrass star Mac Wiseman sings in the background..." Ain't no sunshine in my life.."
end Act 2
Act Three: (Finale)
Binger enters the Dairy Queen and orders a coffee flavored blizzard. Cedar makes a huge blizzard and then uses it to climb out of the Dairy Queen. She stands on top of the building and is granted powers from Auntie Mistletoe who enters from the sky singing the aria
"Ohhhh Canada: Land of Ice, Snow, and William Shatner.. three elements which bring about shivering" Cedar then uses her picture taking skills and makes Crown admit that no one needs 19 hours of sleep per day and that the Holly Lobby Store can open, and will even inlcude a minature section devoted to "napping." Then, in one of the most moving moments ever, Crown and Binger team up and announce they will form a rock band entitled " Monarch Mystery.." which will inlcude backdrops of CEDMO" pictures while they perform the hit single
"Coffee and Sleep: Not necessarily a contradiction." Maureen announces that the first exhibit at Holly Lobby will be entitled "Jayish: Thy tights are too tight.." Curtain closes with sila announcing in the world's shortest aria "Good evening."

Oh WOW! I have the high honor and distinct privilege of being the first to read Opera Chapter XXVIII!
OK, Binger, you've convinced me it pays to drink coffee - how else can we explain your greatest masterpiece yet.
Glad I woke up in time to see it immediately after its grand opening!
Days to the Season: 312
Days to Christmas Day: 354
On we go toward our first milestone!
Less chilly here in Raleigh this morning, with the thermometer currently standing at 51.
Should be a nice day to get some outside work on.
(Maybe I'll clean the old Crown Vic)
Have a Super Sunday!
Root for the NFL playoff team of your choice - drink coffee - dance - try on wigs - sleep - whatever turns you on!
Rest up for the start of another week - and another step closer to our great Season!
