Tomorrow, dear readers, is the momentous occasion of a musical at the theatre. I am soo excited; I don’t know how I’m going to get through work tomorrow! The plan was to go formal, but on Tuesday I sadly discovered that I no longer fit into two of my formal gowns (prom dress and bridesmaid dress from Beth B.’s wedding), and the third (bridesmaid dress from Tree’s wedding) doesn’t fit with an evening play.

I’m pretty sure it’s an orb weaver spider which apparently are reluctant to bite and they eat bugs. I hate bugs more than spiders, so I think I’ll allow my neighbor to stay. He’s big, so that means he…
