For notes Bob handed them all out on piece of paper to single people and made only the �group� notes outloud. He handed me a piece of paper and I was like WTF could I possibly get a note on. I�m not out there long enough to get a note! All it said was �Madelin, Thank you!� with a big smiley face. Now, I don�t know if he meant that as in a general thank you or thank you for the fun show of my petticoat falling off. Either way it did make me feel a LITTLE better.

We open tomorrow. Yikes.

I have a 2nd date with match.com boy on Sunday after the show.

I have to go home and make some jewelry and put together some last minute things for our final full dress tonight.

And on a sad note�my neighbor died yesterday morning. She has lived in the house next door for as long as my family has been living in our house �33 years. She had lung cancer that spread to her liver. She was one of the only neighbors that we�ve remained friendly with all these years. We had the keys to each other houses. We always called each other with news or to make sure everything was okay when something might have seen a little off. We looked out for each other. The wake is tonight and tomorrow with the funeral on Saturday morning. I do not do funerals. I can tolerate going to a wake if I have to. Unfortunately my show opens tomorrow night, so that is out. I am going to go for like 15 min tonight and then go late to my final dress, but I feel like I have to go, even if only for a few minutes. I grew up with her kids and her grandkids. I need to say goodbye.
