A Spooktacular Weekend
Friday evening, I napped right after work for an hour, then headed to the gym for a quick workout with Lisa, then headed out to Scott and Alison's for a fantastic dinner party. Scott did a fantastic job selecting and preparing the menu. The food was incredible: mushroom and goat cheese strudel with a balsamic syrup, then potato carrot and parsnip soup, then mustard and garlic roast chicken with warm frisee salad, bacon and mini potatoes, followed by a bread pudding dessert from Suzy that was to die for. All lactose-free too! I couldn't tell if my stomach was sore from eating too much or laughing too hard. Good times!
Saturday we had rehearsal from 10 - 5. We worked on Act 2. It had been a while since we'd done it, so it was good to go over things. Lots of running around for Belinda and lots of hopping for Garry. I started to run out of steam at 4:10 and was glad to know that we had less than an hour left of it. But no time to nap after that. I stopped at the LC and picked up some wine, then headed home to make supper and start getting into costume for the evening's festivities. Lisa came over around 6:30 and I helped her with her hair and makeup. I love getting ready for events with friends. It took me a while to do my makeup for my costume... but it was worth it. This year I rented a costume from Brenda McLeese. I dressed up as Puss in Boots. Once we were all set, we ran over to Lisa and Anthony's where a few folks were enjoying some pre-outing beverages. From there we headed to the Blue Olive where Kizzy was singing. My battery for my camera wasn't charged, so I had to rely on other people's pictures for the evening. I can't wait to see the pics that Anthony took. He should be posting them soon. Everyone looked awesome in their costumes! It wasn't a very late night for me. I wound up catching a lift home from Scott and Mare at 11:30. I was pretty beat and I knew I had another full day of rehearsals ahead of me.
Sunday morning I was pretty thankful for the time change. We rehearsed Acts 1 and 2 and I was amazed that I could actually remember so much when we did a run of the two acts. trust me - there's a ton of blocking in this. Man, there are some funny moments! I then enjoyed a quiet evening in and even went to bed early. Now that was a real treat!
