I am currently wearing spandex under jeans under athletic pants under a blanket. I've gained 8 pounds in fabric alone. Regardless, my muscles are tight and refuse to unwind. While I originally bundled up for warmth, I thought that perhaps I could somehow fake heat therapy to help my soreness go away. It's not working. I've been back in Eau Claire for a little under a week but already I feel like our break never happened. So to remind myself that yes, I do actually have a life... Here are a few highlights from Christmas:
Christmas Eve Children's Mass: Singin' in the Choir
Grandma Nelly's old apron. Pre-stained. Pre-adorable.
Skiing. Enough Said.
Classic Family Christmas photo. Missing: Cousin (in-law) Brother (in-law) Sister
Harry Potter Lego Board Game. Who wouldn't love that?
Pretending like I still remember how to do fancy things on skates
So now I'm back and the opera is in full swing. I'm currently supposed to be writing an essay for directing. The soreness I mentioned earlier is from a combination of ballet and DanceWorks practice. (The stilts have been built and hopefully I get to use them on Monday!) I'm working 8 hours a week in the costume shop building the dresses for the opera and getting paid for it. I'm already supposed to be memorizing a ten minute scene for advanced acting. I really need to memorize and work my Viola (Twelfth Night) monologue for the Midsummer Audition on Tuesday. Callbacks are Thursday. Hoping for Helena. Or Puck. Or even Hermia. Heck, I'd even love to play Tatania. The costumes are Steam Punk and the set includes a swimming pool and a jungle gym. I just want to be in the show! So everyone cross your fingers and knock on wood. Because I know how to handle a rapier and soon I'll know how to walk on stilts. DO ALL THE THINGS!!! Challenge accepted.
