According to Livejournal, I have not posted in over 7 weeks. That, my friends, is a record on here I believe. For me at least. I havent really been busy, I just havent had the time or motivation to collect all my thoughts. So lets see....what have I been up to since we last met.....?
Poison/Def Leppard/Cheap Trick: This was an amazing concert! Soo much fun. My first time seeing all of these bands live. The group that went was Jason, Scott, Sabrina, Shila, Kimmie, Brian and me. We all met at Bennigans before for dinner and man did they make it hard to surprised them! Ha ha! I didnt want there to be any unnecessary drama about who's driving and with whom so I decided to spring for the old Limo surprise again. It worked out better than I thought it would. So much easier with less people but it all worked out in the end! The concert was a lot of fun and I hope to go again sometime.
Lisa and Richards Pool Party: Thank you! It was a great time! Too bad the weather didnt get the memo you were having an outdoor party that day. Brian made me a sweet Wipeout themed cake. Very tasty. The party was a lot of fun too. Its always nice to get the group together some place other than a noisy smokey bar!
MY 24th BIRTHDAY: Unfortunately I had to work until 5. Brian came up and had lunch with me at Potbellys. After work he and I went bowling(I was SOOO close to beating him on the second game). After bowling we had dinner at a Thai place in DT Plymouth followed by a nice walk around the city and a trip to AMC to see Funny People with Jason. Good times!
My Birthday Party: I want to thank everyone who took the time to come out at some point to celebrate my birthday with me. I had a total blast. Skating made me a little nervous at first but once I got back in the groove it was smooth sailing. Getting dressed up was so much fun. Especially going to dinner in all of our 80's gear glory. Unfortunately Sam and I were the only ones that really went all out but it was still a lot of fun. The band Mega 80's that was playing at the Magic Bag that night was great. They never stopped playing. Except for a short intermission where they left and then came back in wigs and rocker clothes to pay tribute to the "Metal" bands of the 80's. All in all a really fun time!
Pirate Party: Always a good time. Perfect weather too! The only bad part was coming home with a bajillion bug bites all over my legs. Ah well, live and learn. I'm also very disappointed I never got a chance to use the hottub but what can ya do? It was so nice to see Jeff, Kelley and Scott for the weekend too! Always a good time!
Summer Slam: Went to Baileys to watch the WWE PPV. Was a total dork and wore an old work shirt that advertised it from 05. And of course I run into someone I used to work with at the toy store. Score! Also won a poster and a gift card. YAY BEER!
Madick's 4th Annual House Warming: Lots of fun. My team won pictionary beause, well, we're awesome! Again, its just nice to get to sit around and talk and laugh without being in a loud smokey bar!
Trivia: So basically, we have been dominating trivia just about every week. Thats a good feeling. Not to mention its always fun to hear the TJ announce whatever silly team name we have come up with for that week as well as the reaction of the other teams playing.
So there you have it. Now we are all up to date! Not sure if anyone reads this anymore but I thought itd be nice to update it anyway!
Have a good one

So....there were a lot of anniversaries this past week/few days. On the 5th marks the anniversary of the day we brought Titan home. Hard to believe that was 7 years ago now. What an old Geezer shes getting to be. Also, a year ago last night was the Bon Jovi Concert meaning a year ago today was my interview at AC. Again, hard to believe Ive almost been working at this job for a year. Crazy how time flies sometimes.
It was very nice to see Jeff and Kelley last week even if the circumstances weren't ideal. Sorry I couldnt stay very long Kelley, but I did want to make sure I was able to be there for a little while.
The weekend before last Brian and I spent some time at the Cabin with Jason. It was a pretty good time. Very relaxing. The weather held out which was nice because it said it was going to rain at some point.
This past wednesday a few of us went out the The Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea to see Brenda Lane in a play called Wake. What a great show. Im so glad I went. Thanks for putting it together Brian. Even if it did make me cry like a baby I really, really enjoyed it. If you have time between now and the end of the run (aug 22 i believe) you should really try to see it. Bring tissues! ;)
Thursday Jen Sherfey was trying to get everyone together for some trivia. Since Brian and I have been exercising more we decided to walk to the mall before trivia just to hang out and then walk over to Marvasos where trivia was being held. I am proud to say that we were first place (or tied for 1st) the entire game and remained that way through the final question. This is one case where betting it all or nothing really worked out. We were tied for first as we placed our bet for the final and we got it!!!!!! Oh! and heres the best part....Our Name was The Regal Beagle Eagles(threes company reference), they played a Bon Jovi song before trivia started and a Sinatra song during play. How awesome is that?!?!?! It was a good night at trivia for me! :)
Friday my car went on the fritz. For about a month now my car has been doing this new thing it learned called Stalling out. Wonderful! At first I just thought it happened because I had, lets say, neglected to get my oil changed. So I got that done and still it was stalling out. It wasnt until Friday driving around that it finally bit it. I could barely get it started. LUCKILY, Brian was with me. I dont know what I would have done. He was pretty much my hero because he got us to Midas before my car crapped out again. Turns out a wire connecting one of my spark plugs has somehow gotten disconnected.
Saturday was a mess. All I wanted to do was celebrate the 4th of July. Thanks to Brian for hanging with me and to Carol and Joy for thinking of me and having us over for some dinner. It was nice to see you and Kristin too! Dont be a stranger! :)
Sunday evening Brian and I decided to walk from my apartment to Emagine Theater in Canton. BAD idea. I got eaten alive. The walk was nice, the bike trail got us right where we wanted to go, but those 3 spots walking through the woods was killer. I have many a bug bite all over my body that wont stop itching. We saw the Movie Year One w/ Jack Black. It was pretty funny. I was just happy we had the common sense to drop a car off before the walk so we didnt have to walk back. We ended up stopping at the Meijer in Westland to catch the Fireworks. They were pretty good.
Monday I had Jury Duty bright and early. Luckily my dad let me take his car because mine was still in the shop. I was there from 745-12:20 before they told us that the cases had fallen through and we were free to go. Yay!!!! Also, while was there I got a call that my car was ready. Doubly Yay!!!! Im still kinda having issues with it but I really hope they go away. Almost stalled out on my again last night. Not cool!
Today is my half day. I love this! Since I share my half day one of us comes in early and the other in the afternoon. The girl Im alternating with said that I could have early half days this month and then we will go back and forth. This means.....I have an early half day the day of the Poison/Def Leppard/Cheap Trick concert and a late half day the day after my birthday! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of my birthday, I think Ive FINALLY decided what I want to do. Invites to follow soon so look for it!!!!!!! You wont want to miss this!

- Mood:
contemplative - Music:my neighbors music is really loud!
A lot has been going on so Ill just go by category...
WORK: Someone I work with doesnt like me. Someone tattled because they thought I was online too much. Next day I get an email from my boss saying how good my production numbers are...now how on earth does that happen if Im fooling around online all day? Hmm...
TITAN: Shes better. She got her stitches out this past Tuesday. Her face still looks a little sad but I think shes very happy to have that cone off!
PLAY: Ive been pretty busy lately. Congratulations to Kimmie for winning Cherry Martini Idol! I am still SOOOO in love with Wipeout! Went to my dance studios recital and it was bittersweet. One of the little girls dances they were poodles and one girl accidently pulled off the other girls tail. It was a pretty funny thing to watch. She followed her around with it and then gave it to her so the girl whos tail it was had nowhere to put it so she just dropped it, only to make sure to grab it and dust it off as she was leaving the stage! Dinner and UFC with Scott and Sabrina was fun! Friday the 13th at Scott and Sabrinas instead of the bar was a nice change. The new Marquee is up at the Penn and its purty!!! I love sunshine!
HEALTH: With Brians help I have been trying very hard to eat better and exercise more often. I am feeling better already. Its always good to have a support system when starting something like that if youve neglected it for a long time so Im happy someone is on board with me! :)
MICHAEL JACKSON: This blows my mind. I was just sitting there watching the news on Thursday and they broke in and said that he was rushed to the hospital in a coma only to come back no more than a half hour later announcing he had passed. As the days went on I thought about it more and more and began to realize how much Michael had always been around. My mom loved the oldies so I was familiar with the Jackson 5 stuff. Then when I got a little older and started listening to more popular music I can remember dancing around in my neighbors basement to Heal the World. I was totally in love with the song at the end of Free Willy and I can vividly remember waiting for the You Are Not Alone video to play when I discovered music video stations and I wanted 'History" for the looooongest time. Thriller was one of the first songs I learned a dance to when I started dancing and Im somewhat disappointed that I didnt learn that dance for the cruise. I feel bad that Farrah Fawcets death was so overshadowed by this but at the same time I understand. This was so unexpected and he was so loved. Its very tragic, he will be missed.

All Drugged Up!So I got home from Cleveland last week just to find Titan with her right eye practically swollen shut. Nice! (Some dog sitter I hired!) Im a little freaked out at this point but her demeanor hasnt changed any so I figure I can wait until my half day on Thursday to take her to the vet. Titan had other plans. I get home Tuesday after work and it must have been irritating her because there was now a gash and she was bleeding pretty bad. Now Im really freaking out. I call Brian and him and Shila go with me to rush her to the vet. Thanks to Susan they already knew I was coming and were able to see her. It turned out to be an absessed(?) Tooth. They had to remove it and stitch her up and keep her over night. :( To keep my mind of things(ha) we met up with Scott and Sabrina and went bowling before heading to the bar. Didnt stay too much after the contest and Brian was nice enough to stay with me for a bit afterwards so I was okay. Picked her up Wednesday on my lunch break and she was sooo out of it still all drugged up. Poor baby. It was so sad. I dont know what Im going to do when she gets older and loses energy. :( Shila was nice enough to pick up a cone from her work so that she wouldnt pick at her stitches or rub her face on the carpet. She is now back to normal Titan speed and recovering well so far, although I do think she hates wearing that cone.
Other than that not much is going on. Now one took me up on my offer Friday so I ended up watching the game with Brian and Shila.
Saturday Brian and I were supposed to have plans but because of the wings game and some unforeseen circumstances, they fell through. Due to the wings game Brian asked if it would be okay to take a raincheck on the Dueling Pianos we were going to see so that Shila could still see her movie. Granted I was a little disappointed but knew that if it were reversed I would hope I would get to see one of my favorite movies too.
I have more to say but Lunch time is over so Ive got to go.
Have a good one! And come out to the CM tomorrow....ITS THE FINALS!!! YOUR FRIENDS NEED YOUR VOTES!!!!

I really can't believe I haven't posted in three weeks now. This new position is keeping me busy I guess. It's a lot of work, different schedule and so much to learn.
I began my new position on my dads birthday. We celebrated his b-day with dinner at Red Robin the night before. With my new schedule not only does my half day rotate but my schedule does as well. One week we work 8-430, the next week we work 830-5. Mainly for phone coverage. I just got on the phone for this first time this past thursday. It's a little nerve racking but nothing I can't handle. I just have to realize that I'm not always going to have the answers the agents are looking for but that just comes with the territory and besides, I am still learning.
Wipeout is back and that show makes me SOOOO happy.
The Kareoke Finals are pretty disappointing. I think I might have to take at least a week off once this one is over....
Saw Night at the Museum 2 this past week with Brian and Joy on the IMAX. That was a good time!
I'm really disappointed. Not only can I not celebrate my Birhday when/how I want, I can't even get it off work, and OF COURSE it's a late week. So I have to work 830-5 ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! That BLOOOOOWWWWSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't get it off because another girl already asked for it off. I wasn't going to ask for it off because in my old position I would have had a half day, no biggie. However, when I moved over my schedule changed.....Needless to say I'm not happy about this....AT ALL.....Kicking around the Cedar Point Idea....any input would be appreciated.
I got some much needed quality time with Miss Brandi Small last night. Her mom was hosting a Lia Sophia party which was pretty fun and then we were back to our old ways and froliced around Meijer for a bit. Good times! We almost took the wrong car home! And we hadnt even been drinking! haha!
The funeral is tomorrow and then we will be heading home. I was kinda sad today. I didn't know her that well but all of my aunts and uncles were pretty sad. I didn't really know how to act. They had what I would call a "recieving Line". That made it even more akward because I hadn't seen most of these people since I was little and my dad didn't seem to realize my sister and I were behind him so he didn't even introduce us...Also...it was the LOUDEST wake I'd ever been too....strange. lol. This was the most unconventional wake I had ever been to. Not to mention it was on Mayfield Rd...which is where my Nanna lived. It makes me sad to be here, so close and not visit....granted we are here for something else but its still odd.....I really dont think I'm over it yet.....I really miss her....A Lot....
ANYWAY....I think I should wrap this up now....off to be social with the fam!

Not a good email to get when you walk into work with 2 errors on your desk. Lets go back....
I get into work today and I have one paper error and I have a check on my desk and an email from my boss telling me about a check I forgot to enter. Then, I had only been there for about 10 minutes when I recieved above mentioned Email.
I go into my bosses office and immediately she lets me know Im not in trouble. She goes on to tell me that 3 people have either left or been let go from the call center and they took 2 Underwriting assistants(UA) and a medical records tech still leaving 2 positions open, leading her to offer me a promotion to be an UA Uh...what?!?! This was very shocking to me especially when she went on to tell me that she had gone to the other UA's to ask their opinion on who to promote and they suggested me! This is pretty awesome considering I havent even been there a year yet! Needless to say, Im pretty stoked!!!! Not only do they recognize my hard work but this also means a pay raise!!!!
So thats my good news for the day!
Have a good night now!

Today is off to a rocky start....I really hope things improve. Its 8am and I want to hurt someone....not good.

Where to begin? Well....a few weeks ago was Krazi Karens birthday so we decided to get her a cake and bring it to Karaoke. She really enjoyed that and the cake was pretty good. That night was fun and turned out QUITE interesting. Scott, Sabrina and Shila all left pretty early so it was just Brian, Kim and I at the end of the night. I ended up singing some Jovi with Kim at Brians request. It went all right.
That Friday Sam, Shila, Sabrina and I all went to the Diamondback for some much needed dance therapy! Before going out Brian and I joined Scott and Sabrina for dinner at Red Robin. It was a good thing they got there before we did because if they hadnt we would have been in for a 2 HOUR WAIT!!!! Dinner was nice and when we got back to my place Sam was already there and had made new friends. Well, technically it was the 2 little girls who live next to me who kinda cornered her but it was cute....for a minute. Until they wouldnt stop knocking on the door and eventually opened it and tried to come in. Once we were actually AT Diamondback we went to the bar to get some drinks until a song hit that we really wanted to dance to. The Radio station 106.7 The Fox was there and they were handing out stickers and Sabrina wanted one and thought the only way to get one was to say something exciting so she told them it was her birthday. Then, later on when we went to refresh our drinks they called us all over to be on the radio and Sabrina talked about celebrating her birthday. It was pretty funny! OH!!! and they were taking a million pictures so we're on the website too! haha!
What else? Well, a few weeks ago Brian and I went to the Penn in Plymouth to see 'Sabrina'. It was a good time! Actually, it was a great time.....very good day! Id never seen the original before and I really enjoyed it. After the movie, the weather was so nice out we decided to walk down to the Barefoot show to see if we could catch the cast. It was still pretty early and the show wasnt over so we just walked around talking for about an hour or so. After the show we met the cast at The Box Bar. It was nice to see everyone!
Last Friday I was supposed to go to the Tigers v Indians game with my cousin who was coming in from Toledo. Wires got crossed and by the time they wanted me to leave it was rainy and gross and driving into Downtown Detroit would have been insane so I opted not to go. Before I got the call Brian had come over and delievered a nice surprise. Im trying to decorate my room in the theme of old Hollywood and he found this really nice black and white photo of the 26th(?) Oscars, right outside the theater. It looks really cool! After he left I got an offer to hang out with one of my co-workers so I took her up on it. We didnt do much, just hung out at her friends for a minute(who also lives in stoneybrooke) and then decided to go up to the Shark Club. It was a good time, glad I went. Played darts for the first time ever! HAHA! what a disaster!
Last Saturday was the anniversary of my Nanna's passing and Brian was nice enough to hang out with me. We went to the mall and as we pulled in he told me how he wanted to get a new shirt to wear because we were going to see Wolverine later so then the idea popped into my head and I said "Hey! We should pick out shirts for each other!!" Brilliant! Long story short, he walked out of hot topic with a classic, comic book version of a Wolverine costume shirt(pics up on Myspace) and I left with a Cannibal Corpse (yea, I dont know who that is either) t-shirt with a brain on it.(pics also on myspace). After the mall we had a very nice lunch over at EG Nicks in Plymouth. Damn that food was tasty!! Then we went home to wait for Scott and Sabrina to come over. Around 9 we headed for the movies. Nick was nice enough to get us in for free! Shila joined us once she got off work. The movie was all right. Not as good as the first X Men but better than the third!
This past Monday I finally got to give Brian his birthday gift. Seeing James Morrison Live! After work I got myself ready and then Brian picked me up and we were on our way to Ann Arbor. The ride out was good but Ann Arbor is confusing. There was a little miscommunication but we worked it out. We thought we were going to meet Sam and Shila for dinner but again....crossed wires, so instead we just had dinner together at a place called Grizzly Peak. That food was pretty tasty too! After dinner we met up with Sam and Shila who were already in line with Stephanie and her sister. Waiting in line was fun! We were just being silly(pics also up on Myspace). We were one of the very first people in so we were lucky enough to score "front row seats". That place was a mad house once everyone was in. His opening act Diane Birch was amazing and his set did not disappoint. Very glad we went!!! After the show we has drinks at TGI Fridays before calling it a night.
Cinco De Mayo was fun! Met Brian before going to the bar, had some dinner and just a very nice time then it was off to Karaoke. New contest started, Cherry Martini Idol....we'll see how this goes.
Wednesday I had dinner with Jessie and some other friends to celebrate her birthday. It was a lot of fun! Chatting and remembering old times! Ah, I love hanging out with them. After dinner Brian met me at my house to watch Lost and American Idol results. Im sad Allison left but the final three boys are all very talented.
Thursday we saw the Barefoot Show. Apparently Brian and I were in silly moods and couldnt stop laughing for the first, oh, 15 minutes of the show. Very nice performances from Kristin, Carol, Joy and the man who played Columbo.....thats all there is to say! :) Dinner at the Box Bar afterwards was entertaining. Good times!
Friday after work I headed down to Ohio for my baby cousins graduation party. I was debating all day if I really wanted to go. Its a pretty far drive alone. Eventually I just decided to go because I had already told her I would and there was no good reason not to. Once I got there I recieved a very warm welcome and that made it all worth it. The party was great! So nice to see everyone again! Saturday morning I went with her to our other cousins house for lunch. That was entertaining with 3 little ones running around! After lunch we went back to her parents house and both headed for home (she had to get back to Toldeo for commencement on Sunday) On the way home I talked to Brian who let me know they were trying to figure out something to do for the night. They finally decided on TRIVIA!!!! It was Scott, Sabrina,Me, Brian and Shila. We did all right. Thanks to a few extra points given to us for no reason by one of the judges! haha! Niiiiice! We didnt end up winning but it was a good game! After trivia we had dinner at THE nicest Rams Horn I have ever seen. Seriously, it looked like a fancy seafood place or something.
Yesterday was Mothers Day and Brian was nice enough to hang out with me. He even invited me to dinner with him, his mom, sister and brother. That was very sweet! After lunch we went to Jo-Anns and eventually decided to go see Earth. I'd been talking about wanting to see it and he wanted an early show, and thats pretty much all there was. I really enjoyed it. We were going to see another one but didnt think we could make it through so we bummed around Target for awhile. Bugged my friend Jessie who works there and also ran into Kim. The rest of the evening was pretty mellow and relaxing. Good times.
Sorry for the novel....hope it kept you entertained!
Have a good day now!!!

I cant believe I havent posted in two weeks....thats crazy!
Scott and Sabrina were nice enough to actually order wrestlemania at their house so we didnt have to go to a loud smokey bar. It was a very nice change of pace and the matches were all pretty entertaining for the most part.
Video night was cool. We fast forwarded through most of the 2nd act because we just wanted to hurry up and have Hartman reveal what the next Shakespeare show was going to be. He was in and out of the theatre most of the night and he didnt even notice this 2+hour show only took us about an hour and a half to get through....shhh!!!!
Spent part of Brians birthday with him. We got some food and then watched The United States of Leland. FINALLY!!!! Im really glad we got to do that, even more so because he really seemed to enjoy it! Got him Tickets to see James Morrison so thats something to look forward to!
Bright and early last saturday I got up to drive out to Sylvan lake so my friend Courtney could do my hair. I am very pleased with the result and have had nothing but positive compliments. Had a real blast at Brians Birthday party! It was nice to have everyone together again. Jeff, I did relay your message AND you and Kelley were there in spirit as we played "The Game of Things"!
Easter was nice. I was a little late and a tad perturbed to find out they had started dinner without me. The dinner conversation was just plain silly, as it always is when Kim, Susan and I get together. And then Kim Choked. (not really). After dinner my dad and Marilyn surprised us girls with the gift of cleaning up the dishes and the kitchen, so to do my part, I walked around the kitchen with a bowl of salad and a glass so it looked like I was helping!! They caught onto me but not soon enough!
After easter dinner I spent part of the evening with Brian. It was nice to relax for awhile, catch up on some SNL and whatnot.
Tuesday was dead at the Cherry Martini. It was kinda nice because there was so much less cigarette smoke but at the same time, its more fun when lots of your friends are there!
Wednesday after work Brian and I had dinner at Olive Garden. It was really nice. We sat at the bar while we waited and ordered some VERY tasty maragritas. The dinner was very tasty, although we didnt get Bob to be our waiter. After dinner we went back to watch Lost and the American Idol elimination show. I KNEW THEY WOULD SAVE MATT!!!! YAY!! Kinda worried about whats going to happen with Disco week. Good Luck guys!
Thursday after work I met Jessie for a movie. We went to see Observe and Report. It was pretty funny! You could make quite a drinking game out of counting how many times the F-word was used though!
Yesterday was nice. All the way around. The weather was GORGEOUS! I was bored around 330 so I gave Brian a call. We decided to meet for dinner around 6 at Branns because he had coupons. Then we headed to Jo-Anns so he could pick up some scrapbooking stuff before heading to the SuperBowl for Andy Sherfys birthday. That was a blast! I even got a few strikes in! Good times!
So there you have it....the run down of my life since the show ended! woo hoo!
Peace

This past week was kinda stressful. Again, I dont know why, but Ive been letting everything get to me lately. Tuesday was video night and the one thing I was looking forward to was foiled. Then, my dumbass decided to ring the phone instead of the doorbell so now thats on video for everyone to relive! Goody! The worst part was that Hartman scolded me during intermission and then felt the need to bring it up again during notes. Once is enough, thank you!
Wednesday Brian and I went to see Monsters VS Aliens before Lost and American Idol. It was really cute! You should go see it!
Thursday was my half day. It was a very good day! I got cable finally! Its funny, I hate living without it, but Ive just grown to live without it so the time I have been home since, I really havent found much to watch. lol.
Fridays show went well. Dinner at Bennigans afterwards was nice too.
Last nights show was good as well. My dad and Marilyn saw it. They seemed to enjoy it! Apparently my dad figured it out right away....suuuuure.
Cast party was a blast! Even though they wont read this, Big Thanks to Scott and Sabrina for hosting!!!
NIGHTCAP RECAP
Below are my thoughts, observations and general feelings now that this show is over...
- My favorite line change, until certain actor was made aware "Naturally I expected him to be put out" being changed to "Naturally, I expected him to put out"
- One word...PROPS!!!! (drove me insane)
- When Hartman changed the role of Mr Boston to Mrs, why didnt he use the names that were actually used in the script? What I mean is, He changed Arnold and Irene to Arlene and Henry.....um...they were both referred to by name....
- Since when are heart attacks funny?
- Why is the lawyer coming by on Friday, when the appointment was made for Thursday?
- Why does Hartman seem to think I gave the CD's pre-show High Fives?
- WHY DIDNT HE AGE STEPHANIE?!?!
- Why didnt Martha have any costume changes?
- "I don't want another drink"
- "The Correspondence?"
- Everyones new favorite party game "Duck, Duck, Puke"!
- Why do the Make Up Girls get to stay in the Green Room after they are done with the actors? They are still considered Technical People right?
Have a good week everyone!

I cant believe its been 2 weeks now since Ive last posted something substantial.
St Pattys Day was good! It was sunny and gorgeous outside and that pleased me! Rehearsal went well and going to the Cherry Martini afterwards was probably the best route. It was a good time, great drink specials, live band and NO CROWDS!!!! We even got the band to play some Bon Jovi, which, is SOOOOO Irish its uncanny!!!
Hell week definitly lived up to its name but we had a very strong opeining weekend. The crowds were silly and very responsive which is always nice! Its always interesting to see what people react to and how. There were a few technical difficulties because apparently I dont know how to handle CD's. Who woulda knew the pre-show, high five would make it skip?! hmm...
Most of the group came to see the show last Saturday. It was a good time. We all went to Bennigans afterwards for dinner. It was nice!
Monday I had lunch with Brandi at Potbellys. It was really nice to catch up. We hadnt had that one on one time in a loooong time. I miss that.
Tuesday we got out of rehearsal SUUUPER early. It was wonderful. Afterwards we went out to Red Robin, only to leave abruptly when the fire alarm went off. That was interesting.
Wednesday we were off. Brian and I hung out to watch American Idol and Lost. It was a really nice night.
Thursday I went over to my dads to Celebrate Kimmies birthday. It was a good time, but we (kimmie, Susan and I) always have a good time when we get together. Kims friends Aaron and Erica were there too. Theyve been to the CM a few times. Cool people. We had snackys, and pizza, and cake and then somehow I was able to get American Idol on and everyone watched it so I didnt have to miss the results! I was nervous for awhile, one of my faves was in the bottom 2.
This weekends shows went well. No real technical issues. The cast decided to go to BW3's last night after the show. I didnt want to go, but what can ya do? It was so surreal. Brian and I were sitting there trying to figure out where everything used to be. So sad. Afterwards Brian, Rebecca and I were standing around talking when it started to storm. The rain wasnt bad but there was thunder and lightening. One bolt of lightening actually hit REALLY close. It was insane! Wish I had my camera going at the time. That would have been a sweet shot!
Today Im just kinda bumming. I really should be cleaning but Im feeling lazy. This weather sucks! Its brining me down.
Heres to the final week of shows! Hope the audiences remain as receptive!

So....this week has been stressful! lol.
Im not really having fun with this show yet. For one reason or another I've been quite irritated at rehearsal and thats not a good start. Tuesday was our first technical run and to add to all of the stress from earlier in the day, rehearsal didn't help. Had a nice time at the Cherry Martini, especially with Brian singing an old Irish folksong for me but I just didn't want to be there after awhile. Wednesday night wasn't any better. First thing Hartman yelled at me because I forgot to give him his CD back, saying that if I forgot again I would be replaced and then within SECONDS of each other both him and Shila are complaining that Todd and I haven't signed in yet. At least for the first part of the show Hartman commented that my sound levels were perfect so that was nice and I did remember to give the CDs back that night as well as Thursday. Thursday nights rehearsal went all right but when I walked into the booth Todd asked me if whatever he was smelling was me so I simply said " I dont know what you smell" to which he replied, "oh, I guess it's me". I still have no idea what this mystery smell was....
Friday...More drama. I hate banks and laws and stupid bullshit.
Yesterday I got Titan groomed. She looks very cute and smells nice too and thanks to the ribbons in her hair, is all ready for St Patty's day!!! Brian and I watched the Will Ferrell special on HBO. He is now my hero. He put a Bon Jovi song into his one man show! Sweet! Then we watched SNL. It was alright. The best part was a digital short with the Turd Burgalur. Ha. Haha. I truly think Brian and Andy Samburg share a brain!!
Today was...okay. Hung out with Amalia. We went bowling and then came back here and played some Disney Scene it. Good Times.
There were some good times this week. I was able to get back in touch with the Lawyer who helped me out so much with everything. Brian and I went to see her because I got her a card and a gift card. Come to find out it was her birthday. It was a really nice visit!
I can't wait for Tuesday. Love, Love, LOVE St Patrick's Day! I can't even tell you! Wish we didn't have rehearsal but oh well.
I'm going to bed now. It's been a rough week. I really hope rehearsals become more enjoyable...

Its St Pattys Day in my home town today. Parades, parties lots of festivities. Wish I could be there. The year we went down a) I was too young to enjoy the party aspect of it and b) Jeff and Malissa wanted to get back to go to the cabin. Really wish I would have gone too.
Im really excited for St Patricks Day this Tuesday. If anyone is interested we will still be trying to go to Cherry Martini. There isnt karaoke but there will be a live band, drink specials and FREE PIZZA!!!!! Sweet! Hopefully it wont be too packed by the time we get out of rehearsal. *crosses fingers*
I love St Pattys Day. That is all!
