Here I am!

Here I am!

Hello my friends!

I’m writing to tell those of you who haven’t guessed (or haven’t heard already) about the good news I teased about last week… but also to talk about how AWESOME my spring break has been!

 

Saturday: Daron and I went with my mom and John to see the Phantom of the Opera! Phantom is one of those classic musicals that you (or at least I) never turn down the chance to see. I guess I’ve probably seen it 5 times live.

 

Sunday was JUST laying around… which is always appreciated. :D

 

Monday: I was in TRUE kelsey form, and went a little crazy…

 

YEP! Most of you already know, and the rest of you guessed correctly… haha! I am so proud to say that I was cast in my local theatre company’s production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! I’ll be playing Christine Colgate… A character with SO much singing (!), Dancing (!), and shenanigans, its crazy! The cast of this production is a venerable talent show of local musical/theatre power houses. I am humbled to be a part of it. :)

 

So, back to “true kelsey form”… you know, if you know me at all that I am an absolute SPAZZ about office supplies. Markers, pens, sharpies, postits, folders, tabs, binder clips, paper clips… I love them.

A girl like me, with a giant script… it doesn’t take long for me to get it bound at kinkos, and go buy fresh color coded tabs that mark each scene, and musical number… It was the highlight of my day. :D

74/365: fully tabbed and ready to go.

 

On Tuesday, I lounged around, caught up on a billion blogs, and played video games. WIN.

 

Wednesday, I went and got a manicure and pedicure with my dear friend Erin… followed by lunch, and a trip to the mall for purse hunt, March 2010… haha.

 

Thursday was LUNCH with some of the cast and crew of the SHOW! It was pretty awesome to talk with them about the production, and to have my mind put to ease when I had questions about my voice and training. :D

 

Friday, Sweet Jessica and I went out to the Allen Outlet stores, to partake in the Gap Give/Get promotion! It is 30% off of EVERYTHING, including sales and clearance items at the entire family of Gap stores (including Gap Body, Banana Republic, Old Navy… and their respective outlet stores.) I spent too much money, but it was very fun, and I got a lot of stuff I can wear this spring and summer. :D

 

Saturday, the randomass Texas weather went from 75 degrees yesterday to 35 degrees today, and so I’m staying bundled up and toasty with my hubby…

I bought New Moon earlier, so I may torture him into watching it with me later, who knows.

 

Tomorrow, Sunday is our FIRST rehearsal/meeting/read-through of the show, and I am positively buzzing with excitement. I’m ready to meet everyone officially, though they all already feel like close friends, and I’m ready to get started.

Taylor Swift Moment (Take 2)

November 23, 2009

The video didn’t work properly the first time, so I’m republishing with the youtube video. :D

I promised I would upload this, so here it is…

I blurred this video severely to protect the anonymity of my school and my students…. but you get the idea.

This was my performance at our school’s teacher “american idol” spoof. I sang a cover of Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me”… It was a ton of fun, and the kids made me feel like a million bucks.

Just proves that with a karaoke track, and a little guts, anyone can get up and entertain 13 year olds. Haha…

workout done right

workout done right

Do you ever have a workout that you just feel completely, overwhelmingly proud of?? Even if it wasn’t particularly inventive or unique?

Thats how I felt after tonight’s workout. During the biggest loser, I busted it on the elliptical and during all of the commercials I did compound strength moves. That lasted for a clock hour, and it was AWESOME. :)

I wrapped it up with a O.N.E. coconut water, which, I love with a passion. YUM.

Today began with a need for hazelnutty chocolaty goodness. I shamelessly enjoyed this packet of hot chocolate instead of coffee this morning, and it was AWESOME.

So, at work, we’re having our big carnival on friday, and my department-mate and I are filling balloons with slips of paper representing coupons and prizes that local businesses donated for our booth! We’re excited about the chance to raise some funds for the special ed department, but surprisingly, shoving slips of paper into teeny tiny water balloons is NOT the most exciting thing ever.

Also, at this event, my work posse and I are recreating “don’t stop believing” from Glee, and I’ll be performing a solo song in our school’s version of American Idol made up of teachers. We hope the kids will be entertained. haha :D I promise that if videos are taken, I’ll post them here. :D

I’m gonna wrap this one up a bit early, because I need to send some comment love to a bunch of my new blogging buddies. (including Nicci and Kristen!) :D

SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO MY GIRL AMBER, who is taking on the 30 day shred! I am so proud of her! She is amazing. :D

(in case you can’t tell, I’m a big fan of sharing the linky blog love… I challenge  you to shout out your faves in your next post! :D )
