weeks are fun, when I have no room to breathe?
This week is definitely different than the ones I've been having over the past two months. For one, I'm working less than 40 hours in the first time in 10 weeks or so...yay! It's not really a break though...as I am working many hours in a far different venue, of which i was told I was going to be paid, but who knows?
Essentially on easter Robin talked to me & I agreed (due to wine and the prospect of hanging out with her son) to take a few days and help assist an art festival that Willamette U would be putting on for a local school. At the time I thought my temp job would've finished and I would've had all the time in the world to hang out and do something different. Well, the job isn't over, but I'm still involved with the festival and am actually going to be in the play that's being performed on Thursday. It's a disney jr. adaptation of Cinderella, so it's a short hourish musical, with a cast of about a million.
Tomorrow is actually (or today rather since it is getting late isn't it?) dress rehearsal and so there's gonna be a million more people on stage because some of the 4th graders are gonna be in it as well. I'm not sure how many, I just know that I have to take care of 2 sheep. Hence, why I'm in the show, as a ginormous sheep like creature that really looks like a fuzzy marshmallow...hot? incredibly! Why am I not just a sheperd? Because A.J. is the farmer apparently...then why am I an 'adult' sheep? it's just more degrading that way! oh well, it'll be interesting. I still don't really have much of a clue as to what is going on, but at least I'm kind of in the same boat as everyone else since supposedly blocking changes every day. It'll just be a mad house tomorrow night since there'll be little kids in the mix. I've been told thus far, that everytime A.J. is on stage, or in the middle of the stage at least...so will the sheeps. Should prove interesting.
I kinda wish I would've been able to go to the rehearsal tonight to get a better feel, but instead got to see Hairspray at the Hult with my parents and sister. I think i got the better end of the bargain of course, but still I wish i wasn't so in the dark about things when i'm supposed to be helping my kids when they get there.
Today at the festival I got to help the kids make birdhouses & color shirts, we took tours of the Elsinore theatre & Hallie Ford Museum. When I was with the one group at Elsinore, A.J. & I wanted to scream because the teacher just basically stood there watching while they all went crazy and kept talking through the tour. I kept telling this one group of kids to be quiet and one of them started mocking me and I kind of wanted to deck them...(great idea, if in fact I ever become a teacher, since Robin thinks I'd be great at it, and I'm now kind of considering it). Oh well, the other group I liked better, but they were still a little crazy...yay for the rest of the week!
Wednesday is going to be dance day, yay! There's gonna be Ballet, Swing, and essentially line dancing, w00t. I think i'm gonna take pictures tomorrow. which should prove hilarious since I think sometimes my photo taking skills could use some work, but here's practice at least?
The actual peformance day is gonna be on Thursday. The main one, is at 7 pm at Smith auditorium. It's also free, so people should come, not to see me in my frightening whiteness (and later sheep bling) but for everyone else! the evil stepmother is played by Jeff Baer, yay for drag queening in a disney kiddie show!
Unfortuantely my week isn't over after thursday, friday I get to be back in Eugene to work again because I promised I would. I guess at least Giniece said she'd take my evening schedule that day. I have to be in town friday anyways so in a way It've almost been better if I'd just kept it, oh well, c'est la vie!
The weekend should prove interesting though...I get 3 days off in a row and am going to go wine touring! We're gonna go at least one day, but I was talking to A.J. and we were thinking we should maybe do two days for more excitement, and yay my grandma is gonna be the D.D. how creepily weird/yet awesomely awesome can that get? The main day might prove a little crazy if Blair, Margaret, Steve, Robin, A.J. & I go, not counting Hannah, because she likes to come and watch us get drunk apparently...mmmm at least it's now NOT!!!!!!!! just my family this year...i should be able to find some comfort in that I hope.
ugh where does the time go? I'd probably even go on about the awesomeness of the sheep's costume and random crap, but I'll spare the boredom for now and try to get some sleep...baaa
