The camera - the digital camera. It's broken.
I know.
All together no....NOOOOOOOO!
I mean, I'm totally not dramatic or anything...
Without my main source of entertainment (well, second main - the computer [internet] actually takes the cake) it only prolongs the wait until. the. cast list. is. posted.
Somebody sedate me until Sunday...the 'expected date'...SUNDAY!! Please, please please!
Oh well...Daddy is being so nice as to take me to Dairy Queen for good eats...it should help. A little. Meh.
I wish you all quiet, peaceful weekends.

How'd it go?
For inquiring minds, Les Mis auditions, for me at least, went great!! Luckily I wasn't so nervous as I thought I'd be, and I pulled off my song as well as I could back here at home. They had us read a monologue that was so entirely Eponine-esque. Hah hah :o) I had a lot of fun with it...
Tonight we start our second weekend of shows - have a good weekend, everyone. ;o)

Rainy Days and Mondays
I am vain - but I have to say. These are awesome.
Ade and I caught a frog!
We named her Ivy. Is she not gorgeous???
Tonight....it's tonight.
The auditions. The LES MISERABLES School Edition auditions.
I've been waiting for this. For. so. long.
And it's finally HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Naturally since I want this so bad...I'm terrified. For me, that's saying alot. I mean, seriously, this is what, my 20th audition?
Wish me luck. And a bit of guts as well. Lol.

Busy weekend!!!
I should be getting ready for my second show tonight, but that can wait.
Last night was opening night. It went great!!! The audience was wonderful - probably the best one I've ever performed for. Ever!!! They cheered ecstatically after every single song. I can only hope tonight is just as good!!!
Except yesterday and today I've been hit with an enormous headache that has been doused with copious amounts of Ipuprofen. Which is good, but I still have a sense of light-headed-ness and that really affects how I dance :sigh: All I have to do is push past it, I guess.
The premonitions haven't dissipated completely, but have decreased. I'm thankful....it was really affecting my performance. I mean, really.
And maybe it isn't a premonition...but more of a foreboding feeling. Maybe it's due to the stress of the week/end. I don't know. But that's not something I should be focusing on right now, the show must go on!!!

Premonitions
YES I know it's all in God's hands and YES I know he controls everything, but honestly, this is terrifying.
It's happened before...with dear, sweet Ray (although for him, that was a WONDERFUL thing to leave his wheelchair-bound body and make his entrance in Heaven and meet the One he loved so dearly when he was on earth) and then, I'm not sure if this counts, but a pet. I know the feeling. It pulls and nags at me, and it won't go away. And now, it's back.....
What, oh what should I do? What CAN I do??? If I tell him will he resort to the Christian part of him, and say well it's all in God's hands? Or will I ruin the rest of his life, whether it be shorter if I'm right or longer then the longest age if I'm wrong?
And what if I'm right? What if he does die?
How can I live with that?
Will I ever know if he even liked me? Could I ask one of his friends? He gossips. Heck knows he does. But will they tell me? Or will they lie, because they don't want me to live with the hurt that I wasn't good enough and that I never, ever will be? How can I know if they're telling the truth???
Why do I have so many questions?
Why. What if. Why why why WHY. WHAT IF.
I hate this....

Photo-opportunity-ideas-stuck-in-head-iosis
They need to search for a cure, honestly.
Oh no wait, I've found one. Writing them down. Then maybe someday when I have time in between being on Broadway in Chicago stages (I will, I tell you, I WILL be on that stage one day!!!) and college and a wedding I'll look back on the 2008 archive ("Oh, that year of raging teenage hormones and my first real crush and Les Mis and-wow! what a year that was") and say, "Hey look! Ideas! Gotta write these down!" And the magic will spark!
The bottom line is, I have ideas but NO SUBJECTS!! :oP :oP :oP
First idea:
My 5-year-old daughter, her name is Lily, she is wearing her hair in twirly swirly pigtails and is in a Tinkerbell-esque costume. She is laying on the ground and making a kissy-face and there is a giant frog (like the one I caught in '06 - hands only, no net, baby!) next to her lips (though her lips are not touching him) and he is wearing a small gold crown. Cute, no?
Second idea:
My three daughters are holding hands in the pouring rain in raincoats and rainboots. The 7 and the 5 year olds are lifting their grinning 3-year-old up between them and swinging her forward.
Third idea:
My 5-year-old is wearing a big, bright, poofy skirt and a top to match. Her hair is in high pigtails. She is standing on the front porch. Her eyes are a little off the camera and she has a halfway-tooth-filled smile.
Fourth idea:
I'm sledding behind my kids with my camera (I know, I know) and for one fleeting moment, they are all looking back at me, snow flying everywhere, their cheeks red and excitement spread on their faces.
Other ideas:
One of my girls getting their hair blown by the wind. One of them praying in a dim light. One of them peeking out beneath their covers with a flashlight shining on my face. Many many many others are in me but are not surfacing right now.
Okay, it's a little frustrating.....but maybe I can appreciate what lovely things I do have to capture their image.
My, I'm quite the quirky weirdo, aren't I? ;o)

If you thought the mouse was cute.....
I just can't get it out of my hair!!!
Katie was found by my friend Kat's sister abandoned in the middle of the road....either her mother died or was left by her mom. They found her two weeks ago and she is absolutely PRECIOUS! I just LOVE this picture of her in my hands.
Since she's nocturnal she sleeps most of the day as you can clearly see :oP She likes to crawl up in your hair and sleep....in fact, Katie is in my hair and sleeping as I type this, her tail hanging in my face :oP
Just a little darling. I ADORE this picture.
And Katie can climb trees too!!!!
Meet Katie the baby Possum!!! (Sorry for my bedhead :oP)

I am one red-hot "big sister"
Okay, let me begin by saying I adore little kids. They are just so sweet, and honest, and too darn cute :o) And when those kids I love, like the many in CTE who just make my rehearsal days, get hurt, I take the role as a "big sister" and I just get so MAD!!!
For instance, Adrianna is in the yellow (the youngest who are only 2nd-4th graders) group for the summer show. There is a new little girl name Jaiden who has already put a damper on the whole thing.
It started when she danced too fast and pushed Adrianna, who was the one doing it right. Makes me ticked enough (especially because that momentum made Ade push a boy in front of her), but then Jaiden goes off and tells another little boy that he's "bad luck" because he's Jewish. Now while I don't agree with the Jewish religion based on my own religion, it still made me mad that she would call him "bad luck" because of his (or more, his parent's) beliefs.
And now last night.....a little girl named Grace, who is one of my favorites (okay, lemme just clear the air, I don't like picking favorites but as you can SEE some kids in CTE are not so nice) suffers from juvenile diabetes. Well, Jaiden saw her insulin pump and inquired about it, and upon finding out about Grace she told her, flatly, "You're gonna die."
So, Grace being quite the sweet little girl, she has many friends who came to her defense. Jaiden kept saying, "What? She's gonna die!"
I am one angry young girl, because not only is Grace scared about her sickness as I can imagine, that girl rubbed salt in the wound. I am just so mad. That was a quick vent, everybody. I am off with Miss Ade and my Mum to look at flowers ;o)
