Happy birthday tooooo meeeeee

Never. Eating. Again.

Went out to dinner with family people at my favorite place, La Fondue. Sadly, I always eating up way too much while there, and my stomach hurts like hell now. Uuuuuuuuurhg. And to think, just the other day I'd noted how I haven't eaten nearly as much as I usually do and have visibly lost weight this summer. :P

It was good to see family people. I miss my brother and his wife lots and lots since they don't live nearby (about a 2 hour drive away, so not TOO far, but still). Got lots of fun stuff for "loot" too.

- Roller Blades with ABT breaks & safety pads
- Dance apparel for rehearsals and exercise and stuff
- "Monk" soundtrack
- Pair of socks & $50 of Best Buy gift cards
- AM/FM adapter for my iPod and portable speakers as well
- A new watch (Which is GOOD since my old one was starting to smell)

Though my favorite memory from today, is from rehearsal. I was talking to the King and Queen from my cast (their real life son also plays my prince....they're a VERY sweet British family) about the fact that I was going out to La Fondue tonight.

Me: Yeah, it's expensive, so I usually only go once in awhile like on my birthday.
Queen: When's your birthday?
Me: Today.
King, Queen, Prince: Today!? Right this very day!? ::Start singing happy birthday! Prince tosses in "Cindy" as a Cinderella reference!::
Me: ::Giggles!::

After awhile, the King and Queen disappeared from the rehearsal, but I didn't worry too much since they're grown ups and had told my mom they'd be right back. About, hmm....30 minutes later, they return with some packages of mini-cupcakes to share with the folk who were there, and a bouquet of peach/pink roses for me. It was SO sweet that I felt like crying. I love that family sooooooo much.

Life? What life?

YahahaHA......I have no life until the show starts. Check out my weekly rehearsal schedule!

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Woo....I'm all dizzy.

Cinderella Update

Haven't typed much, since our summer show is keeping me inCREDIBLY busy.

But.... ::ahem::

I CHOREOGRAPHED THE WALTZ!!!

Eeeeehehehe! Our show has a FOUR MINUTE WALTZ, and I finished coming up with choreography for it today. It's done done DONE...and it's the first dance I've ever put together completely on my lonesome! Normally, I have about 90% input from my good friend Kyrie, or videos, or other stage shows. I came up with this stuff aaaaaaall by myself.

......

I hope it ends up looking good on stage.

Yo-ho!

Yarr. I'm a PIRATE. Hehe.

Yes, I saw the Pirates movie at the midnight showing and thought it was INSANELY AWESOME. I have so much love for Captain Jack. I wish he was reeeeeeeeeeeal.
