Girls' Night In

Welcome to my first attempt at quick and dirty blogging. Let's see if this is even physically possible.

(Technically, the poll doesn't end until tonight, but it seems that most of you are interested in me giving this a shot, so I shall oblige. At least for a little while.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday morning, I got a call from the people at Tony n' Tina's Wedding. They said they wanted me in the show. *SCORE*. They asked if I could start that night. I said no, as I had plans. So I'm starting today. My call is at 4:00. I'll be on the wait staff for the first month or so. The stage manager said they're just going to "throw me into it" today... I'm a little nervous.

Oh, man. I don't know how I'm going to be working two jobs for the next few months. I might want to die. My "real" job is Monday-Friday... I generally leave my apartment at 7:45am and get home around 5:30pm. But now with TnT's, I'll have shows Wednesday-Sunday... Which means I now have no real weekend. And I won't have time to go home after work, so I'll be going straight to the theatre, and probably getting home around 10pm most nights (I'm guessing). Anyway. If I become noticeably absent from the online world, you'll know why.

I couldn't start the show last night because I was meeting up with a few lovely Chicago bloggers for a Girl's Night In.

Kayleigh had Jenn, Jessica, and I over to her *gorgeous* apartment for a night of general debauchery. Jamie was supposed to join us as well, but sadly had to back out (we still love you, Jamie!).

Originally, we had planned to watch Sex & the City all night (as Jenn owns the stunningly packaged full series), but we never turned on the tv. We just spent the whole night talking about our families, our problems, and our blogs. It was wonderfully cathartic. And these ladies are positively delightful. We discussed everything under the sun, including a man who kept a rat in his pants. At one point we went on a field trip to get pizza, and I ended up distributing mints to some confused-but-amused restaurant patrons. And before the end of the night, I got some quality cuddling time in with Jenn. Good stuff.

Jessica, Kayleigh, and Jenn again... I was trying to figure out the timer on my camera, unsuccessfully.

I pressed the button and jumped in front of the camera. Hence why they look like my backup dancers.

What? I felt the need to cuddle.


Alright, I'm off. I've got to go find black shoes before my call.


May you have the opportunity to make new friends.
