She Works Hard for the Money

yeah. it's true.  i happen to be running myself into the ground at the moment doing two shows AT THE SAME TIME. am i insane??? i think i am.  so you all know about Wonderette's, but i'm also now in rehearsals for a show with the atlanta lyric theatre called Leader of the Pack (gonna be hot).  so what this means is shows on the weekend and rehearsals during the week.  and by the time i open leader of the pack, i will have gone 5 straight weeks without a SINGLE day or night off.  not a single one.  i mean i can do it, but at this point it's a bit of a mind game.  i have to convince myself i'm not tired so that i can even focus on the task at hand.  i really am having a blast with both of these shows, but somebody please remind me to never do this to myself again! haha.

speaking of wonderette's though, here is a sweet pic of the cast and our director Dawne from opening night.  i really love these girls :)  so much talent and such sweet spirits.


oh and here's a lovely little backstage video i took on one of our two show saturday's.  we were a TINY bit hyper that day apparently.  haha.




i also took a video in leader of the pack rehearsals one day.  it was a music rehearsal and i wanted to document a bit of the process while i wasn't actually singing and i happened to catch our sweet caroline in all her candid glory.  she loves me for posting this.



i have one more show lined up to do after leader of the pack closes, which is going to be so great, but i have to say that once it closes i am REALLY looking forward to having free time again.  and i'm sure my boyfriend will be thrilled as well to have more than 45 min a day to talk to me.  and to be able to talk to me when i am not eating at the same time....hahaha.  i just remind him that multitasking like that is a SERIOUS life skill, so he should be proud.

in other news I NEED TO WORK OUT. i have had to put aside my gym habit quite a bit to be able have at least an hour a day to just sit and breathe, but i need to get it together.  i'm sure my dance partner in the show would appreciate this as well considering he has to throw me around like a ragdoll.

so basically, everyone just pray that i suvive this madness without becoming a crazy person.  and in the meantime if you are my friend and i have dropped off the face of the earth, just know that i love you and will be BACK, i promise!

    Uh, excuse me Missy, but did you say a curse word in your music rehearsal video???? I replayed it over and over and you got some 'splainin' to do.

    P.S. The still of you backstage at Wonderettes is hilarious and frightening. You really do need to say hello to the sun! :)

    okay first of all, too late on not wanting to become a crazy person because only a crazy person would do this to themselves.

    second of all, i'm sure peter loves to watch you stuff your face with avacados and hummus :{
    (that's my barf face btw haha)

    THIRD of all, tell your dance partner to deal with it ;)
