lots of updates

i went home this past weekend and we had no internet so i'm behind on posting here, bear with me!

thursday was my last day at work. it was kind of weird. it's been my life for nearly two years, now something else will be my life for a while. marketing and hr took me to lunch in our cafe on wednesday, which was lovely. i'm going to go back in today for a short bit. i have to get some things i left there, and wanted to give my official goodbye. maybe instead i will go to rehearsal, then stop by work between rehearsal and dinner tonight with the cast.

it's still really weird, knowing that all week the kids will be learning things that i won't be, and i can only hope i'll get my own rehearsals where i will be taught the liesl/louisa stuff. dallett (dir) asked me to be off-book for the liesl/rolf scene, easy enough, i'm concerned more about the kid family scenes, those could be difficult!

so i went home this weekend, as mentioned, and my parents threw me a going-away party. it was great to see everyone! of course, it was stormy much of the day, but i'm glad everyone made it! grandparents, family we hadn't seen in forever, friends, parents of friends, neighbors.... we were expecting around 40 guests, i'm not sure what we had. but i put terry on camera duty, so sometime this week, i'll try to post some video from the party. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT!!!!!

i've started packin, but i have the week to do so. all of my toiletries fit into a medium suitcase, now i have to work on clothes. mom gave me some spacebags, the rolling kind not the vacuum kind. i hope they will be useful for the heavier clothes (sweaters/sweatshirts?).

i have no idea about this weight limit thing. i mean, my suitcase alone must be 25 lbs each. i weighed my backback last night- 21lbs, we are likely going to be limitd to 11 lbs or 15 lbs. i dont know how this is going to work. i'm sure i'll have weight issues here... but i'm not packing any of my electronics in my suitcase where i can't watch them. no way.

it's starting to hit me now that i am leaving. it's scary yet exciting. i dont know.

i have to get the rest of my vaccines too...

and it seems like i may have a bout of carpel tunnel- wrist is in PAIN, and my left shoulder and shoulder blade are insanely sore. i have a sneaking suspicion it is carpel tunnel, or some kind of similar flare up.

speaking of... hurts!!! i'll write more later.

so this work out kick just started in January. i've never been this devoted in my whole life and it feels amazing. i'm going to bring a few dvds too, and try to get as many yoga podcasts onto my ipod as possible. i hope we can get a group to work out together OR we can start a system. i.e. every week we have to work out 4 times a week, whoever doesn't has to eat the scorpions on a stick?? yeah? any takers?!
