Gala, Grand, Green

I wasn't going to post because I'm too tired to go find my camera cord and I wanted to include pictures with this post, but I figure a written post is better than no post, right?

Tonight was our Gala Grand Opening of Aladdin! We had previews the last two nights but tonight was the night where a lot of past people came all dressed up and stuff. So far the shows have been great! The first night was a bit rocky in the second act, but all the kinks have now been worked out it seems!! I am enjoying it a lot and look forward to doing two performances tomorrow! I will post pictures soon of my stunning makeup and hair!! hehe.. My favorite part of tonight was when someone's wig fell off onstage. It's also quite fun watching people improvise when they completely forget their lines at one part! :) The audience probably doesn't notice, but once you've seen it so many times, you know what goes where!

Lindie came to visit yesterday. She flew out to come see my show and her and Desiree went. it was great to have them there cheering me on! And I got some flowers for my live performance-how sweet! :) Then Lindie and I decided to be ambitious and paint two rooms in my house today. They are fairly bold but I LOVE the way they turned out. Okay, one room still needs one coat of paint, but it will be great! And I'm getting new flooring and baseboards next week, so it didn't matter if paint got all over the floor! So it was kind of fun not having to care as much! And I can tell my painting skills have improved (or maybe that's just because Lindie was cutting in instead of me!) I will post before and after pictures soon!! Well I will wait until the flooring is in before I take those pics. I'm pretty excited-finally my house will be the way I've been wanting it for so long! It's really fun to personalize my living space. Kind of chaotic for the time being, but the end result will be great. And my basement repairs (after my sewage backup flood) are starting on Monday (after three long months-thanks strata). So yay for that happening as well!!

And now I must be off to sleep seeing that i have ensemble practice tomorrow morning followed by two performances!! :) Have a great weekend!

Sounds like so much fun! I've been part of many productions, but always in the orchestra/band on keyboards. It's fun seeing all the glitches and improvising that goes on - like another dimension of humour that only the cast and crew would catch. Savour the experience! I'm sure you'll have fond memories of this : )
