Apparently…moolah!…So, We had our first auction of Cyrano’s nose, autographed by Mr. Kline himself, and Jennifer threw in one of her false eyelashes, and it sold for 1,400.00.  With proceeds going to Broadway Cares, Equity fights AIDS.  It was hilarious.  That person, will probably get twice as much for it on EBAY.  All in all on our first day we raised about 3500.00.  Not too bad.  We should be able to pull in a great contribution, in what is now a month left in the run.

Speaking of noses…my nose is returning to a normal state.  The right side of the bridge of my nose, feels like the cartilage might be loose in some way.  It sort of makes me nervous…This of course is from the time that I got mugged.  It certainly is not broken, but it might be cracked.  I have a neurology appt. tomorrow, so we will see if my brain is jarred …more than usual that is.   I know it could have been worse.  People keep sharing stories with me from their families and friends who have been attacked, and I am so greatful for the related stories.  All of the talking, praying, and confronting of this event has done wonders for my spirit.  I feel stronger, and I am gaining my power more and more.  God is good and more angels just keep showing up out of every crevis.

So, many of you know my mother…I spent about 15 minutes trying to get her to say Cyrano de Bergerac, and she could not do it.  She would repeat it syllable by syllable perfectly, and then she would say the whole thing, and it sounded like she had peanut butter in her mouth.  Very Funny…for those of you who know my mother.  I don’t think I shared this in my last blog, but she told Jennifer Garner she only recognized her because “my son tol me you wuh een da movie where you swing da knife…you were good in that one!”  (My attempt to write asian dialect.)  Jennifer said “that’s right you don’t like romantic movies, just action ones.”  I was pretty sheepish about it, but I love my mom, and she is so charming about things like that.  She also decided to extend her stay by a week.  She can be a bit nit picky about how I keep things.  I suddenly realize wher I get my control freak from!

The nose for the wed matinee yielded a 1,500.00 dollar fundraiser for Equity Fights AIDS.  The nose has the signature of Kevin Kline and Jennifer Garner.   Christmas is around the corner so it is nice to see people being so generous for a good cause.  The theater is also slowly turning into a festive atmosphere as dressing rooms are beginning to look holidayish!

I’ve been singing fun songs into Jennifer Garner’s ear while we have our scene together.  So far, some Atlantic Starr…The Carpenters, and some Spice Girls…all of which didn’t get the reaction I thought.  It didn’t even make her flinch.  She instead stared me down…I got a little worried, so I will stop singing the songs, and just converse.  She’s a good sport about it though.  Maybe my singing is just bad or off key?  Most likely both!
