Some of you know I've been doing a local Nutcracker production for the last three years as one of the Party Adults. It's loads of fun and the people are super great. The place where I do this also does a spring show every year. Camille (the director), usually asks all the men (the husbands) back for that show to do the manly roles. During a lull in the rehearsal today, I asked my "husband" if he knew what the spring show was going to be. He said Peter Pan. I thought that sounded like fun and we started joking that I could be the comely bar-wench on board Captain Hooks ship. I decided to ask Camille if there were going to be auditions cos it would be fun. She said that they don't really do auditions, they usually just ask people to come back. And she wanted to ask me if I wanted to be Mrs. Darling! Of course I said Yes!! This is going to be so much fun!! And, apparently, my Nutcracker husband is going to be Mr. Darling! I can't wait!!

So, my fiance thinks my shin splints are all in my head. Yeah, OK. I'm making myself not be able to walk for 3 or 4 days cos it's so much fun! Apparently, he had them once and they weren't that bad. That's nice. Those were your shin splints. Mine are fucking pain in the ass and make me walk like an arthritic 80 year old for several days. They started acting up last week after ballet on Tuesday. Then they got a little better but started acting up yesterday. It wasn't too bad so I went to class tonight. I tell the teacher so she knows why I'm not doing everything full out. She decides to fill every combination with lots of releves and jumps. Gee, thanks. I had to completely sit out one of the jumping combinations she had. Uh, no. OK. I think I'm done with that.

Oh! I need ideas for what I can call the chapstick I will be presenting to Michael at the Chicago Con in August. It has to do with the lip licking thing he does. Any ideas? Please? :-D

Ballet started again last night. Ow. Just ow. My legs don't want to function properly today. My hips are so sore I'm staggering around like and 80 year old man with arthritis. Why do I do this to myself? Cos I love it. It's my excercise. And it's pretty. When done well, anyway. And I got the rehearsal schedule for The Nutcracker. October 10th it starts. And we have 14 performances this year. OMG. I'm gonna be so dead. Plus she's changing the champagne dance. Oooo. Luckily, I still remember the first dance, so that's good. Cos she wants us to rehearse it before hand. That should be fun! :-D Plus I have to figure out what I'm gonna wear/be for The Nutcracker Halloween party they have every year. Last year I went as the Christmas tree skirt. Heh. Yeah. I think I need something a little more inventive this year. We'll see. Man. It's September and I'm already talking about Christmas. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
