Christmas Break

Christmas break means so much to me. I love staying up late and sleeping in the same. I enjoy the time I have to golf and rearrange the furniture in my room. Spend hours doing laundry and just being me with my favorite boy. There is nothing like a relaxing time at home with no cares and no expectations. Days and weeks like this should happen more often.

Classes before Break

yeah that pretty much sums it up...

Hot Glue

So I have been working on prop construction for a while now. This means that I have to gather all the pieces, make the appropriate changes, assemble the final product and test to make sure it doesn't fall apart later. Lately I have been working on a mountain climbers axe that is supposed to be impaled into somebodies head. This is what I came up with:



When you wear it the axe looks as though it is stuck in the scalp...however if you didn't notice this is a battle axe, not a mountain climbers axe...do you think it matters that much?

**ps I will try to post a picture of the student wearing it a little later...

Dinner with Parents

So every time I have a show opening at Vanden it becomes a highly stressful and work filled time. This is one of those weeks. The other thing that happens a lot is that I ask my parents for various props and costume pieces that I need and I know they have. Well today is no different from any of these other days. I am headed to my parents house this evening for dinner and prop collection.

I like having dinner with my parents. My mom cooks so well and it means that I get a free meal.

p.s. I finished week 4 today. my ipod died and I had to make it up as I went along. I think I ran longer than I needed to. YES!

I slept in...

....until 1 o'clock...

Week 4

So I have been doing a work out routine that is called couch to 5K in 9 weeks. I am currently in week 4. I started week 4 on Wednesday. I seriously thought I was going to die. I am not kidding. I thought it was going to be one of those things were I wouldn't make it back to work and they would find my body lying face down on the side of Farmington road. Well today was another running day (it is every other day for 3 running sessions and then you bump up to the next week) and it was not as bad at Wednesday. I am not going to lie though. I still had a really hard time getting through the work out.

oh I am tired...I am done writing now...sorry to be a bit of a tease without a real update...

Teaching High School

This is probably one of the dumbest things I have ever willingly signed up for. I teach high school. That is right. I teach a group of individuals that already know everything, are smarter than I am, extremely cooler than I will ever be, are never wrong and always have a pleasant demeanor and attitude.

Everyday I leave my house around 6:30 am. I brave the morning traffic and 45 minute drive to get to work. I teach a single class. I then have a 4 hour break where I go to work out and shower at my parents house. I come back to school to run a theatre rehearsal and then teach 2 more classes. I have another theatre rehearsal and then leave to go to another job. This other job changes depending on the day. It is finally time to go home and I walk through the door at about 7:30 pm on the early days.

I work very hard and then I get a paycheck at the end of the month. I analyzed this paycheck and realize they took literally half of my paycheck for taxes. That is what I said HALF!

It is crazy. It isn't much fun. I am tired.
