Day 358: December 24, 2011

Ahhhhhh.....my first day off in a very long time!  I still had to get up kind of early, as there was much to do.  But I didn't have to go to either job and I didn't have a show!

I practiced with Mom & Jaclyn at the church.  Then I went over to Mom & Dad's.  I helped Mom with the turkey then pretty much chilled for the afternoon.

Oh, but the funniest thing happened!  I needed some windshield washer fluid in my car, but I kept forgetting to go get some.  Dad said that I could use some that he had just bought.  I started pouring and apparently I had been completely out....because I used it all!  I felt bad so I immediately went out to K-Mart and bought some more.  I hadn't wanted to go shopping on Christmas Eve (since every store is an absolute ZOO) but it all worked out.  I got the steering wheel cover that I needed and some cute holiday marshmallows.

Christmas Eve was at Donna & Randy's house.  We did fondue, which was really fun.  We had a TON of food and I was sitting right by one of the fondue pots with cheese.  I think I ate WAY too much of that cheese.  Oy....  The chocolate fountain was fun, too, but no one would let me stick my face in it.  Guess I won't be checking that off my bucket list for awhile.

We played Minute to Win It and it was so much fun!  I had to put a cookie on my forehead and use my facial muscles to get it into my mouth.  I didn't get it, but I got pretty close.  Shocking that I have strong facial muscles, right?  No.

All in all, a great Christmas Eve!!

Day 357: December 23, 2011

Another long day at the theater!  It wasn't as busy on the phones as I was expecting, which is SUPER nice.  A refreshing change after having the phone practically glued to my ear!!

The show went well.  I can't believe there are only 3 shows left!  I'm going to be so sad when this show is over!!!!!!!

Day 356: December 22, 2011

Crazy snow!!!  We got about a foot.  But it was the dry snow, so it's not too heavy to move.  The roads are pretty bad, though.  I hate icy roads!!!!!

I got my final Secret Santa present done this morning and then went to work.  I got done early, so I was able to actually sit and enjoy part of the afternoon before heading off to the theater. 

Cast/Christmas party after the show.  Good times had by all, even though we were all EXHAUSTED!!!

Day 355: December 21, 2011

Another long day, but at least I got to PERFORM this time instead of watching someone else perform.  The show went well.  I can't believe it's almost over!!!!!

Snow was pretty bad tonight.  Took a long time to get home!

Day 354: December 20, 2011

Pretty much the longest day EVER.  Worked box office all day and Debby Boone at night.  12 1/2 hour day.  Oy.

Day 353: December 19, 2011

I got up and went to work early today so that I could get off early.  Tonight was the 1st of 2 Debby Boone concerts at the Candlelight.  I had to work will call, so I had to be dressed extra nicely and be there by 5.  It was a long evening, and I was on my feet WAY too much.   But everything went well.  And my paycheck is going to be GINORMOUS!!!!

Day 352: December 18, 2011

I hit snooze a few too many times this morning and didn't make it up in time to be ready to get to church on time for choir.  But I made it on time for church!!

I need a new wig cap and I left church early so that I could swing by Sally's Beauty Supply on the way to the theater.  Guess what!  Sally's doesn't open until NOON on Sundays!  I was 40 minutes early.  I couldn't wait around, so I went to Target and they don't have wig caps.  Ugh.  I walked all the way in there in 3 inch heels.  Ugh.  That's what I get for skipping out on church to go to the store on Sunday.

The show went well.  I can't believe that there are only 6 shows left!!  I'm not ready for Scrooge to be over, but I'm ready for it to be done.  Does that make sense?  If it doesn't, then you have never been in a show that lasts more than a 2 or 3 weekends.

Came home to crash for the evening (after getting pulled over on 57th St. for speeding.  I only got a warning, though!  Bless that nice cop!)
