It's getting ever so close

I can't believe we open this show in a week from tomorrow. Today means we've only been at it for one week and this afternoon we're finishing this show up. This one has flown by but it's been an incredible experience thus far. Let's see, what has happened since last I spoke to you. I had Friday off and being the overly productive person I am, I laid around till noon, had some lunch with Mark, Kay, Michelle and Omar at Pei Wei....laid around for about, mmmmmm, ten more hours and then hopped over to Grapevine to go see OhLooks production of The Rocky Horror Show. I had a wonderful time there amongst the screaming and the rice and the partial nudity. But since it started at ten thirty, that meant a late night for me with morning rehearsal the next day. Saturday went very smoothly and we finished act one and started act two. Needless to say I cried a bit during "God That's Good" and I can only hope that in one week the slight differences in movement per verse will seem a little more obvious to me. But my evening was full of banging mugs on wrong counts and asking for more pies when I was supposed to be saying how good they were. Too bad. Halloween night Mark, Kay, and the gang all traversed over to Grapevine Mills where we walked around a bit and then bought tickets to go see Zombieland which, though insanely gory, was quite entertaining. Called it an early night (super early because of daylight savings). Spent my sabbath getting my throat slit about six times and heard a fascinating story about how the original Beggar Woman on broadway shattered her ankles in the show sliding down the shoot we have to slide out of. Bring it shoot, we'll see who shatters whose what! I also ruined my scarf and decided to start all over. It's actually quite therapeutic to rip out two hundred rows of knitting. I watched A Series of Unfortunate Events with Kay last night and then hopped on my Deflatable mattress for a good night's rest. Love you all, see you soon.
