What is it Like to Have a Free Weekend?

For real... I cannot even remember. The kinda weekend where you got nothing to do but watch tv and garden. Not that I garden but you know what I mean.

Tonight: Free Concert at Miller Outdoor Theater with a female prodigy upright bass player. See why I LOVE living in Houston?!?! S and the baby will meet me at Job #1 so we can drive over there together (a 2-minute drive!)

Tomorrow: Space Center Houston! S got 2 tix as a gift and I bought a discount one online.
We also have to go to Babies 'R Us to get a baby shower gift for J. Fu.
Tomorrow night: J. Fu's fun family baby shower at her millionaire friends' house. Unfortunately that means I will be surrounded by yuppies, BLECCCHHH!!! The things we do for our friends.

Sunday: the baby's 7th birthday. We will be going to Incredible Pizza way up north and the reason we are doing that is b/c my hated MIL is going to meet us there to bring the baby her presents. This is the 1st time I am going to allow the baby and my MIL to meet in 3 years. I am going to try to be civil and try and get beyond my hatred for her for S's and the baby's sake. But that woman is not to be trusted and as long as she is civil then I will be too. (Bitch!)

So the latest thing is that my dad has dropped more than 1 hint to me that he is going to need $ this summer. I have put funds into my budget for him so I have no problem paying him for his work. I am hoping the upside is that he will continue to NOT be mean to me like I was worried he might be during this whole filmmaking process b/c if he wants to NOT get fired and get paid then he will continue to be nice.

My application to the TFPF was mailed off today so now I do not have to think about it at all this weekend. I am a little concerned b/c they advise against sending in a trailer as your video sample, saying they prefer to get an extended scene so they can get an idea of your storytelling abilities, but my theatrical trailer is all I have. I am hoping it will still blow them away!
