Yup, I've definitely got "Singin' in the Rain" on the brain. We just finished up a week of rehearsals, dress rehearsal, preview, and weekend of shows. They have gone really well-- the cast is gelling-- prolly due to the fact that we're stuck in a hallway or onstage with each other for 5 hours at a time (haha). And everyone is getting better and better which is fabulous! :)
One less than ideal aspect of the show is the hair. It takes all three of us gals sitting in the actors bathroom gelling our hair and doing each other's finger waves and pin curls. And then donning leotards and tights, putting on full stage make-up (including fake eyelashes), and putting on a few layers of clothing aka costumes.
Last week I became more of a vampire as ever seeing as the show keeps us out from about 3:30 to 11:30 at night. And also because my husband worked a few overnight shifts-- I don't do so well with those....
It's been a lot of fun having the experience of the show, getting another job on my resume, and also meeting all these loverly people!
A few friends and we as well have been talking recently about heading to New York this summer! Thankfully due to some awesome tax refunds and an unanticipated teaching gig, we will be able to go with little trouble! Cannot wait for Broadway rush tickets, street vendors, times square and more! We just need a place to stay now, and thinking we may just hit up a hostel near by.
Speaking of taxes, we hit a bump on the road with the federal filing. BUT we think we fixed it now so fingers crossed it works this time! State and property taxes are being sent out.... and we cannot wait to pay off some stuff!! We figured we will we will be able to pay off a loan, an old bank bill, and two credit cards, plus plane tickets! Wooo making so little money, the IRS pays us back for 1/5 of it! LOL
Attitudes rehearsals are in full swing! Many dances only have 2 practices left before the show and let me tell you..... I'm so ready for it to be done!! Don't get me wrong, I've loved my last year of it, but I'm ready to only have work to worry about-- which hopefully I will be doing more of soon! Even thinking about picking up ans extra job for the summer to help with moving plans. Furnished, gated community apartment in Orlando here we come!! The weather here in MN isn't helping our longing for a warmer climate either, haha!
I'm so anxious to get new phones/ numbers, start a new FB page, get a new car, relocate, start a family.... I'm just so ready to embark on the next stage of our lives! We've been talking about the loving couples in our lives and are looking forward to being that happy and loving throughout our marriage.
Fingers crossed that it is warmer here tomorrow!! I've got a long day of cleaning ahead of me tomorrow....so much craziness in our apartment lol. Ugh, I STILL need to make doctors appointments. And fast! Insurance for me runs out in mid-May :- S yet another thing we need to get in place ASAP....
Alright, now that it is well into the wee hours of the mornin, I should prolly get to sleep like my hubby is right now haha!
G'night, all!
