Aye... the things I do to help people out... Sometimes I think I am too felxible when it comes to rearranging my schedule for the benefit of others...but what's done is done... and though I complain....when get my next paycheck...well the end of the month one... I will be quite pleased...

See, the way the days of the month work out...the Arts Market ends up in an odd week, and I have to work that weekend....not only do I have to work but I have 2 shows... no way I could do all 3... so I asked "C" a girl I work with if she would mind swapping me weekends... she said yes... Sweet! I thought...everything is great.... WELL, when you ask for a favor it is 100% likely that you will be asked to return the favor... little did I know...I would do my favor time before I even got MY favor...

See, where I work C and I switch off every other weekend....well, I worked this past weekend and she asked me to cover next weekend...that that was fine.... 2 weekends ina row not too bad... however I have to work the following weekend too.... Which sucks...big time... getting up at 6 am for over 21 days straight really takes a toll on you...and I will be feeling it... So... I work the next 3 weekends, and if that was not bad enough I have to work Christmas Eve and Christmas day.... they fall on Sat/Sun and now, since we will be switching weekends in November I get the Christmas shift...Oh well... I will live...

So, my next 4 weeks are goign to be packed...as far as the weekends are concerned... This weekend I work... next weekend I work... the following weekend I have a show Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday matinee... (Lucky us Daylight Savings Time Kicks in Saturday night and we have to be at the theatre at 12...well, really 1..but because of the time change it will feel like 12.....) Anyway, the following weekend... I work Friday (as usual) Then I go home and shower and head straight to the theatre for a show...then home to bed around 11, get up and have to be at Arts Market by 10am.... (Winter hours are much longer because not as many people show so the longer we're open the more time the artists have), then Elicia, Mike and I will leave around 4:30-ish to go home and shower and then it's back down to the theatre for a show and then straight back to Arts Market to break down....then back home....then up the for Sunday Matinee.... I don't mean to complain...because the truth is, is that I LOVE doing this and I would not trade it for anything....well...as far as AM and doing shows goes...work still sucks...

Last night, Monday, we had rehearsal.... it went okay...but I called for line 2x! OMG, I totally thought I had the stupid scene down! Guess I thought wrong... I mean I KNEW ALL my cues... I knew exactly where to talk...but I could not remember for the life of me, so instead of just sitting there I called for line.... I felt so dumb...

Did I ever mention that one of our actors quit? Well, now I did...but her repleacment already knows her lines! OMG.... well, granted she does ot have that many lines...probably the same size part as mine...maybe a little bigger...but wow...

So, the Elvis sock puppet looks good so far.... (I voulnteered to make it for the show....but I recruited my mom to make it for me) She's doing a great job, he looks so funny! I mean... he looks good, the fact that it is an Elvis sock puppet is funny, haha!

So, I am totally thinking about getting a perm....Who, when, where, are my only questions... I was hoping if maybe a certain someone could squeeze me in...or vice versa pending my schedule co-insiding with how her back feels, maybe we could work something out. *cough*cough* Please? I can buy all the stuff. I just want it so I don't have to curl and mess with my hair to look good...or decent rather.... Anyway...

LOTS of homework to do.... 3 essays to review and rip apart for my classmates....and a research paper to start....and a test to study for...Hmm...sounds fun...


Oh and Carolyn, we saw Corpse Bride. It was a good movie, but I did not like it. Not my cup O tea.
