Busy weekend!

The biggest news of the week was not that we finished learning the show, or that our big cheese director was there are seemed very happy with us- nope, it was that I got my FIRST speeding ticket ever!!! Driving to rehearsal on Saturday morning with the girls I got pulled over for going 67 (okay so that was really fast) on the highway in Myrtle Beach. I'm so glad my friends were with me otherwise it would have been way more traumatic! The even more disappointing fact was that I had always hoped that I could charm my way out of a ticket- but this police man was in a super grumpy mood and was SO not having it. He did reduce my ticket though after we said that we were on our way to rehearsal for Rockettes. Since my ticket I have learned my lesson, however I refuse to drive 30 miles an hour like everyone else here!!

Here is take 2 of our rehearsal studio- I don't think the pictures showed up on the last post.

This is where we kick...

Dont be fooled- this may look like a shoe store, but it's not! This is the "store" we rehearse in......more strange Waccamaw pics to come!

Serenity now!

Hi! So I may be being a bit lame, but this week has been so rough! I'm super exhausted- a few times I've just come home and taken a nap after rehearsal.....boring, I know! We learned the 'Santa' number on Tuesday, basically for 6 hours we did a cardio class in a humid room with lots of people. It was a great workout, but it killed my calves!! Apparently it was tough on everyone because the athletic training room was packed full of people with all sorts of injuries that day and the next morning. The funny news of the day came from finding out that I get the coveted title (sarcastic tone injected) of being center stage Santa! HA! Toward the end of the number we form a triangle shape with me as the point in the front- at least i know how to tell people to spot me in full Santa gear!

No other big news to report. My roomie, Beth, and I have been trying to enjoy the beach when we can muster the energy go. I feel like most nights we just stay in, cook dinner and watch TV. Our favorite activity is to go the the grocery store- I swear we go like 4 times a week! Whooo- we are crazy! :) A few girls and I went to see Love Happens on Saturday night and I left feeling a tiny bit bummed out. It wasn't the cute romantic comedy I'd hoped for, it was a little bit darker and depressing. On my day off, Beth and I went shopping at a really cute plaza called the marketplace commons. It took us 2 1/2 hours just to get through Anthropologie!!!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. It will be a challenging rehearsal on Saturday because our head director, Linda, is flying down to check on our progress as a cast, but after that I'm off to Charleston for my day off!! Only 2 more days!!
