On fridya I got to bring the kittens home for the weekend, they are fun, and adorable... I really wsnted to keep one...but that didn't happen...oh well....

Saturday I went to work....then during my lunch break I went down to the theatre and helped with lights.... then back to work....then went home and mowed the lawns.... my exercize for the day.... I really should work out... but when do I have the time?

I ended up getting Sunday off, woo-hoo!

I was able to sleep until about 8:30am because my father decided to trim the trees right outside my window... I couldn't really say anything, but good grief, it the situation was reversed I would have been yelled at.

I got up...showered....then headed down and was at the theatre by 10:45am... Mike and Elicia were just heading up to the booth to program lights into the board... I got a mini "this-is-how-you-input-ques" lesson... but I will get to full "quickie" crash course for the next show. Around 11:30am the director got there and then left to go get paint so we could paint the stage and the manger after our tech rehearsal.

The actors were supposed to get there about 1...and they did....we were also supopsed to start about 1....but we didn't....we started about a quarter to 3!!!! "Technical difficulties" lol.

Once I got on headset, one of the actors informed me that the costumer was there and needed me when I had a moment...well I really didn't have a moment anytime....but I figured I might as well run back to the greenroom and get it out of the way-- quickly....

Well THAT didn't happen....

She had come down so I could wear the fat suit while they stuffed it... Oh boy...THAT was fun.... *rolling eyes*

After a while they had it pretty much down...so they helped me put on my costume and wig...and even some makeup to go show the director.... well... when i walked out, we were in blackout... I walked to the side of the stage... and the dirctor said "Uh... I think there is something on stgae I need to see, can we have some lights, please."

The moment those lights came on, I had never felt worse .... I mean, it was funny for all the other actors... but omg, I felt horrible in the stupid suit whith the equally gawdy costume, wig and makeup...

Fortunately, knowone realized it was me until I walked into the light... and they got a good view.... Elicia said, "wow! I did a double take, I did not even realize that was you, I thought, who is THAT?"

I was like that is the nicest complement ever!

So, after standing on stage in blinding lights, I sat of the egde.... though I do not think the laughing ever really subsided very much... I felt awful.... to make matters worse, the costumer said that she was going to run to the store to get tights and be right back, and not to take the suit off because I would just have to put it right back on.....

WELL, after an hour of sitting still and feeling like I was going to pass out from the heat I took it off....and she still never came back....that kinda irritates me...

Anyway, we got things pretty squared away with tech stuff....

When we were done, we practiced our curtain call and the director told, Mike, Elicia and I that she was too 'sick' and did not feel well and wanted to paint the stage Monday, tonight, AFTER rehersal....which would be around 10 pm....

I walked over to Elicia and said You know what. We may be tired now after being here since 10...(it's was only about 5:45...), but how much MORE tired are we going to be tomarrow after not only working all day, but then doing rehearsal...she agreed but really did not say much....

So, after all the actors left, the 3 of us and the director locked up and went to our cars, the director left.... and Mike said, "Well, I wanted to do it today..." ... so I told him the same thing I told Elicia...and he said, "Well, then lets go in and do it, and then after we will go have dinner."

And so we did.

Afterward Mike went to get cigarettes and Elicia and I went ahead to this Mexican resturant to get a table. It was actually really good food! I had chile reainos...(I know that is spelled wrong)..... Yummy!

It was a nice dinner and I got to talk to them....outside of our constant capping games. Lol.

Tonight we have rehearsal...6:30 call...7:30 curtain...

Did I mention that I not only have to have help putting on the fat suit, but in putting my costume on too?

Anyway...

So I am "majoing" in liberal arts... well... I was thinking....maybe, I could stay and extra year at COS and get another degree... I was thinking...maybe a degree in Marketing? It sound skinda interesting... and what if teaching turns out not be be what I thought? Though, I might freak my mom out if I said that....

But what happens if and when I decide I don't want or don't like to teach, shouldn't I have a fall back? Marketing is a soild and practical field.

Any input?

Well, thats all for now... I am going to go and do my homework...
