Thursday Things!!

Hello dear internet friends! It's Thursday! In some ways I can hardly believe that we're nearing the weekend and in other ways it has been a VERY long week.

Needless to say there is a lot on my brain....so let's begin, shall we?

• First off, opening night of AIDA is TONIGHT!!! I am so STOKED about this fact! No more dress rehearsals! No more extremely late nights at the theater! Granted - it will still be late nights, but I know I'll be getting home before 11:30pm on show nights. :o) YAY!

• Second off, I forgot to mention this last week, but my dear friend Joshua Christensen is a contestant on Project Runway! The season premiere was last week and although he struggled, he made it through and I know he'll have a renewed determination to rock this week's challenge. I love Josh so much and I feel so cool to know someone on a reality tv show.  :o)

• Entertaining things happened with dress rehearsals this week. First, my Egyptian costume got shortened (everyone's did) but mine ended up being a little....extra short. So they fixed that last night by adding in a few panels, but then one of the panels got put on backwards. HA HA HA. I'm just the problem Egyptian. ;)

• Not so much entertaining - but still worthy of note, I got hit in the head with one of our set pieces last night. The 20-ft pvc pipe flag pole to be precise. Those things are heavy and when me and my cast mates were moving them one of them slipped a little and hit me on the top of my head. I started laughing at first and then I started to cry. It hurt so much! I have a nice little welt on the top of my head and great headache. :(

• Some of you might be wondering if I have any dates coming up and the answer to that is....no. I might have a lunch date next week, but really with the musical, work, chiropractor appointments, my calling and needing lots of sleep, I don't really have much time for dates with boys. 

 That's about it - the main focus in my life right now is the musical. I am loving being able to be apart of it and look foward to performing for everyone who comes! Which if you DO come 1) let me know! I love knowing when people are coming to see me. Gives me that little extra boost of energy and 2) come see me after the show! The cast will be on the hill to the right of the stage (if you're looking at the stage -so stage left, house right for all you theater know-it-alls) after curtain call.

And that's all folks! I'm excited for the things a-happenin' these days. :o) Have a great Thursday!

Thursdays Things

Hello dearest friends! It's Thursday - aka Fake Friday!!! I'm such fan! Tomorrow is looking to be a really good day and I'm excited for the next little bit. so....here we go!

• I'm going dancing tonight after rehearsal. Yes, I know this is crazy - but I can't go the next 3 Thursdays after that because of our show! (well...I might just be VERY late....but I probably won't go.)

• I have a costume fitting today for AIDA. I'm SO EXCITED. :o) It will be fun times. 

• Do you have your tickets to come and see me yet? You should get on that. You don't want to miss this show!

• If you do have your tickets - be sure to tell me when you're coming! and come say hi after the show! I love talking to the audience!

• I'm getting excited to teach again this fall. I always get burnt out by June...but then the end of August rolls around and I realize how much I miss my students. I'm excited to help them grow more!

• I'm getting a massage tomorrow! I am VERY stoked about this. An hour of relaxation and someone else getting all my knots out? Yes please.

• I also have a chiropractor appointment tomorrow. That should be fun times.

• My schedule changed slightly on Saturday - I'll be able to run some errands now that I didn't think would get done before. Huzzah!

• Some crazy drama went down in the past few days with Percy. It's not something I really want to go into great detail here - but I will say that it was all because of this very blog. Someone close to him shared things that I wrote here - that weren't complete thoughts. I do write anonymously (even if some of you know me in real life) and my thoughts aren't intended for open interpretation as a sure thing of my feelings. I write many things in the moment and it greatly depends on my mood on how my thoughts get worded.   The whole situation has made me a little frustrated, especially since I wasn't ready to share some of those things with him yet - and I would have in good time. I'm not some crazy chick that plays games with boys. I'm just not that girl. ANYWAYS. I'm not sure what's going to happen now. I think the door might have closed with Percy and I just hate that it happened the way it did. 

• I'm supposed to be getting my hairs did next week - I made the appointment 7 weeks ago....but that was before I was in AIDA. Now...I have dress rehearsal at the same time as my appointment. I rescheduled and I'll now get my hair done on August 24. Why am I telling you all of this? Because I want to change my hair without...changing it too much. So, I need your suggestions. Is it time for a new color? (I've been red with lots of blonde highlights for the past year or so) Should I get rid of the fringey bangs? I don't plan on cutting it length-wise...yet. I want to keep my hair long for a bit longer. so yeah...any suggestions on what I should do with my hair will be taken into great consideration. :o)

Have a GREAT Thursday guys and if I don't make it back here in the next day or two - have a great weekend as well! you all rock!!!
