Time to update
Hello everyone!
Well, a lot has happened. Let’s see if we can make bullet points of the important stuff.
- Kevin’s show went well despite his worrying that it would not come together. I wish I could have seen one of the nights where it was more rehearsed…I went to see the first night. Not only being the doting girlfriend that I am but Kevin has by far a better voice than most of the people on the stage and you end up wanting to watch him more than other people. When Kevin first sang the girls sitting in front of me said ‘Oooo who is that guy?’ and proceeded to look through their program for him. Hehehe I can’t say that I wasn’t beaming with pride!!
- I am still touring with Partytime, however they have nicely screwed around with my contract and I therefore am quite furious. I will work for them this time (as I get my Equity card and touring experience on my CV) but I will not work for them again. I know that legally I am in the right but hey, they know that if I were to do anything I would have a stamp on my forehead saying ‘don’t employ her, she’s difficult’ which is the last thing I want after doing my first paid gig. Bleh..
- I finish at Aqua this Friday and I’m looking forward to a little break. The girl replacing me will be alright but man is she ever slow…and I’m not sure about what her work ethic is like. From what I can see, as soon as Ellen and Michelle leave for the day she checks her email and takes out her phone. Not that I don’t do that sometimes but I can afford do because I get ALL of my work done and rarely had any work left over to do the following day. Looking forward to Friday as we’re going out and having a big girlie night with dancing etc. Very excited about that.
- Can’t wait for Christmas. I think there may be a problem with my ticket so I’m going to check that out over the next few days. I might even see if I can extend my trip a few days seeing as it looks like I won’t be touring in January. Again I say Idiots but at least I’ll get to see all of my Newfie friends!! (I say Newfie in a loving way so please don’t be offended by my using that term).
- Went on a really fun and relaxing weekend with my sister. I flew to Nice and then we made our way to Cannes where we spent the Saturday shopping (far too much money was spent but I feel so much better now that I have three pairs of shoes that actually look good….I know I know 3…as if I needed any more shoes but all of mine are a good 3-5 years old!) Had an amazing meal on Saturday night and then spent the day on the beach on Sunday in the blazing heat of the sun. We could have gone swimming in the sea had we been smart and brought towels. We stayed in a hotel but had to check out and therefore didn’t have towels to use. We had another amazing meal on the seaside for lunch and then got ourselves to the airport. I feel so much more relaxed, confident and happy and I’m not as worried about stuff as I was before. Crazy how two days away can do that to you!! My sister said she wanted to spoil me this weekend and let’s just say that she went above and beyond spoiling me!!! Oh and did I mention that we’re hoping to make a sister weekend trip to Cannes an annual event!!!!
That’s about it really….oh and HAPPY HALLOWE’EN!!!! Kevin and I are going to carve our pumpkin tonight (we were going to do it last night but we then fell asleep)! I hope that we’ll celebrate it in our own way seeing as we’re not going to any parties or anything. I wish I could go trick or treating :P…Next time I’m in Canada for Hallowe’en I will be going trick or treating…….
Oh...I realised that the bullet points are not actually short...oops
