Costumes and Easter
So we just had our Costume Fitting - basically bringing all the clothes you brought to Denver and getting Lori to pick out the best ones for you. I bought a gazillion things for this show, and my show costume turns out to be something I already have - a turquoise fatwa (imagine a Punjabi top) and my llovely black pantsm with a turquiose necklace and bangles. Lori did say I have great stuff so someone might be borrowing things off me - my black halter-ish top got passed around a few times!
I also got tips on what makeup colours suit me (shades of brown) so hopefully I can make myself look spiffy! I wear makeup like, almost never, so this will be quite a challenge.
We got off early - neither the Eastmans nor Gaby (who rescued me two days ago when the Eastmans disappeared) could send me home, so I just walked to Market Street Station and caught the bus. I missed the first one by a minute (I was having dinner) so walked around for a bit. Saw horse-drawn carriages - so pretty! But so noisy, ha!
I was craving hot chocolate, but everything else was closed and my past experiences with Starbucks (which was open) weren't too good - they don't have the best hot cocoa. However, I was getting desperate, so I bought one...and the person in front of me had a gazillion orders. And my bus was coming in minutes. Thankfully I got my tall hot chocolate - and it was better than last time actually!
I had the bus all to myself the whole time. Pretty interesting!
Today is Easter! My host family isn't doing anything, except for their son coming over for dinner tonight. We'll probably spend some time over at Barnes & Noble ("The Library"). I have my first Easter basket - a mug with giant Easter cookies on sticks. Yay!
Tomorrow - service project for Stand For Peace (UWP's educational portion) in the morning. I hope I can make it there on time.
