My poppa was in town today for a few hours between Mississippi and his flight home. It was a MUCH needed mini visit!!! We went for muffalettas (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) at Napolean House and then walked around Jackson Square and then to the river and then we went and found our brick outside the Aquarium. I didn't want him to leave, but all good things must come to an end. The thing I love most about my pops is that he is always capable of saying what I NEED to hear - I may not WANT to her all of it, but he always opens my eyes to a lot. And he manages to do it without hurting my feelings. I dunno. I was very happy to see him.
Rehearsals are going well - just lots and lots and lots of work!! But I am loving the process - definitely the best show I've ever been involved with. And get this - THERE IS NO BACKSTAGE DRAMA!!! I am digging it. It is so envigorating to be involved in a show that everyone wants to be a part of. Everyone is very dedicated.
I worked out tonight, and now I have homework that I am just avoiding. Might as well do it.
