Stuffing Day

It's finally over! Our closing night was monday and it went really well (minus mic problems) and we had a packed house. I'm super glad I did the pit. Musicals are ALWAYS ALWAYS written in psychotic keys with either all flats or all sharps possible. Or in C with every accidental possible. I've played in 6 musical pit orchestras and have yet to be surprised by the difficulty of key signatures. Anyway, playing for Oklahoma has renewed my circle of fifths memory and when I went to SLCC orchestra last night it was cake. Six flats? Big whoop. Bring it on dawg.

Today I trimmed, thinned and layered Rachel's hair, then my mom dyed it. Hope fully it turns out well. It's making me scissor happy and I think I'll do something new with my hair. We'll see.



I"m seriously considering printing this out and pasting it to my forehead tomorrow. I'll be spending at my aunts house in Alpine with all of my dad's side of the family. I love thanksgiving, but I sure wish I was married with kids when people start asking "what I'm up to these days" I hate it when people ask me that! I think I'll try to constantly have some sort of food in my mouth so I can't talk. Andlike that will be hard to do for thanksgiving :)

I feel bad for vegetarians on thanksgiving. I bet half break free and eat some turkey. How could it possibly be resisted on such a holiday where it's the main event? I must admit though, stuffing and rolls are my favorite part. I'm not a pie person. Can't stand crust, and the only kind I'll eat is cherry or an apple pie made by Shell. I usually have 1part pie and 10 parts ice cream to drown out the pie. I'm odd. I know.

I hope you all travel safely, eat lots, have a good time with family and have a Happy Thanksgiving! Don't forget to be grateful!

Migraine, Migraine, Go Away

So sick of my head hurting right now. Makes me want to crawl in bed and die. frustrating!

Pit orchestra is going well, our performance is next thurs-sat and the following monday. Today the stage crew kept opening the back door and each time lowering the temperature by 10 degrees. By the end of the night, my fingers were so cold and stiff I was missing every other note. They brought in space heaters, but if you have them turned up to high, it starts to melt things and catch certain wood instruments on fire. I'll stick with being cold rather then risk life and instrument for some heat.

Tomorrow I'm taking a test/entrance exam for a job in south jordan. If I get it, pay starts at $14/hr. Sweetness! I hope I get it because I'm in so much debt and the collection calls are starting to come in. Happens when you don't pay them I guess. :)

So, I went to therapy this week for my second session. I am now one of those freaky people who can say, "MY therapist...blah blah blah". She tells me I'm supposed to let people know of my anxiety/depression instead of holding it in and telling people I'm fine. It will help me heal faster. So....I get anxious and depressed if you didn't already know. It's the reason I came home from my mission. But after the therapy, they may let me go back. There, do I fell better? Um......Not really. Maybe I have to tell people in person. So someone call me so I can tell you. Sheesh, I can't wait until this is over! Mid life crisis goin on. But I've been over/through the worst of it, so I really can't complain.

Whew, new subject. No more pouring out my soul.

So, yesterday Joecelyn got engaged, for those who didn't see on facebook. Ian proposed last night and sent a mass picture text to us all showing off the ring on her finger. It's insane how many of my friends will be married by next year. Man I need a husband just so I can say I'm married and in the loop. Forget the whole love, courtship garbage, any takers? I mean what kind of 22 year old female freak isn't married by now? I think I'll just plan on being single forever and then I don't have to worry about it any more. Did you see 27 dresses? I'm turning into that, just without the guy in the end. Too much pressure in our culture for marriage. Maybe that's why I go to a therapist.

Going to bed now to try and sleep off this migraine before the test tomorrow (getting up at 6 on a saturday is a crime) Enjoy your weekend!
