A Canadian in America...

Oh Dear Lord

I don't even know how to catch up!!! The trip home was AWESOME!!! I loved seeing everybody, and I was glad to spend two weeks with everybody:) And now that I've been here for two weeks it seems like I wasn't even in Edmonton!! It seems like so long ago! It's been CRAZY since we got back. I have been going non-stop, pretty much since we landed in hot and humid Chicago. It was like an oven here the day we got back, and apparently we missed the worst of it, thank god. I don't like humid. It's yucky! Eric and I have gotten ourselves roped into doing a theater production of West Side story, which is why, as many of you have seen on my facebook, I have been busy, wondering how I've gotten myself into these things, sticking bocals in my eye etc.....it's been a gong show, and I don't see it getting any better. Basically I've sat through roughly 12 hours of rehearsals in the past week, and have not gotten much accomplished. Thank goodness for the staff meeting I had tonight. Otherwise I would have been sitting through another 4 hours of rehearsal. Yawn. Every night this week I've been at rehearsal, coming home and then back at work at 7:30 in the morning. Last night I got home after 11, was asleep by midnight, and then up at 5:00. I am totally exhausted, and running on that tricky adrenaline (totally spelled wrong, dammit) rush you get when you're exhausted. And now opening night for the musical is tomorrow night.
I am seriously considering going to the midnight release party of HP7 tomorrow night. That way I'll have my book to read during work on Saturday. Otherwise I might not be able to pick it up until Sunday, and by then it won't be reserved for me. Sigh. So after our show tomorrow night I might drag myself to the Harry Potter party at Borders and get me my treasure. I am so excited to finally find out what happens:)
I'm trying to think if anything else exciting has been going on. Not really. Just stuff with work and the musical, and that's about it. I still need to go see "The Order of the Phoenix"....stupid being busy. I really want to go on Sunday sometime, maybe Sunday night. I think we have a Matinee performance that day, so maybe we can go to the early show. Hopefully. I really need to see that movie! And with that, I shall depart, and hopefully go to bed soon. Although knowing me, I doubt very much that I will actually go to bed. I'm dumb like that.
