To say that today was a little stressful at work is to say that K2 is a bit of a hike. Not only all of the worst of the usual headaches (ASM forgetting to do her job of bringing me the costume piece I need from the other side of the stage when it comes off, which means it's not there for the 50-second quick change; hook-and-eyes getting caught on ( Read more... )

( Me and my big mouth. )

A roomful of musical theatre people, a piano, and a never-ending stream of Christmas carols. There was delicious brunch food, mimosas, and that house was ringing with beautiful music for hours. Best cast party I've been to in a long time. :)

So, my grandma's 80th birthday party is this Saturday, and we (her family) are taking care of all of the details. I've been fielding RSVP calls all day, and I did the first huge grocery run. In between, I was doing laundry and cleaning like a madwoman, as my brother and his girlfriend are visting from Texas (the first guests at our house in over ( Read more... )

Work has been kinda crazy lately. My boss wrenched her knee badly skiing, so I've been having to do her work for the upcoming show. Unfortunately, the designer for the show has worked with the theatre many times before, so she's used to having people here ask "How high?" when she tells them to jump ( Read more... )
