It's snowing in the costume shop!

The next show we have coming up takes place in Maine on a snow drift. I got to make show. It's was pretty fun and very messy.

The hat series

So when you're in theatre you come in contact with many different hats. Some you make, some you find, and some catch your eye in the store. These are a few of the many fun hats that are way too much fun to play with.

This one I found in the dollar store a few weeks ago. Too fun to pass for a pic moment.
This would be me in my semi-hat at work. I don't usually wear a headset during the show, but this show is helped a lot. Yeah for Altar Boyz!

Ahh, the straw boater. I bought this last year for a show I designed for MCC called Picasso at the Lapine Agile. This is one of my favorites.
This is a hat I made for another show at MCC last year. It's blue leather. Also made a brown one. Fun stuff.
This is me attempting the cowgirl theme for Follies a few months ago. Amber let me borrow her hat. I looked pretty good if I do say so myself. Haha!
So this was actually taken this summer in Sedona when I was working the shows. This matching hat and scarf were made and given to me by one of my actors. It was so sweet of her. Now that it's cold outside I actually get to wear it!
This hat I found in our costume storage for Southwest Shakespeare. It was adorable. I'm sure there will be more to come at a future date. :)

Sunsets

I love Sundays. Amber, Brad and I walked out of church Sunday mid-afternoon and this is what we saw. Gorgeous!

Don't worry...be happy!

So Amber and I have way to much fun once it hits midnight. My friend was having a rough night last night so we decided to cheer him up. Warning... This is a direct result of lack of sleep, food and a few other things. Proceed at your own risk.

I love rain!

So it poured all day Friday. It was amazing. This first picture was taken at about 3 in the afternoon. It was dark and I loved every minute of it. Even though I was at a dead stop on the freeway due to traffic, I still loved it.
Rain clouds. Gorgeous! And yes, my window says SMILE thanks to Brad.

Randomness

These are just a few fun random photos I've taken. :)

My niece Andy!
Every girl needs a pillow like this.
On a sculpture in Sedona, AZ.
Cause Oscar Myer has a way with....
This is a pic I took back stage of Romeo & Juliet of refracted light.

This would be a sleeping nun. Washington DC airport a year ago. Tee hee hee.
My little Chinese cousin Meigan. Adorable!
Freaky spider on my laundry basket in Sedona this summer.
When it rains it pours. Flooded the street outside my parents house and the little moat in their neighboors yard.
Frost on my windshield. Cool effect.

Birthday at Sea World

My sister Lindsey and I decided to take a spontanious trip for our birthday, since it's less than a week apart. We up and went to San Diego. We have a family friend there to stay with who lives about 20 min from the theme park. We had a lot of fun. So here are some of the picture I took with my phone. Of course there are many, many more, but I would actually have to sit down and scan them. What fun is there in that?

Here are some seagulls on a random car in the parking lot. They are much cooler than pigeons.This is a gorgeous picture that is on the wall when you come off the ride in Wild Arctic. Behold it's prettiness. Adorable polar bear in Wild Arctic. This is Wally. Say hi Wally!
I took this one for Amie. We have a penguin joke. Watch Madagascar and you might understand it a little better.
Proud in pink!
Oh... yawn.
Yeah, Shamu pretty much rocks my world! And you see those four sections that make up the sign, yeah, those rotate. It was cool.
This is the current background on my phone. It's awesome.
I was messing with the color.
Baloooooga!

This one needs a little explination. So if you've ever been to SW there is the section where you can watch the Orca's swimming in their tank. I was standing there taking pictures(see above) when I looked down and saw this. It's the sun refracting through the tank water onto the wet cobblestone floor. It was amazing. I couldn't pass up a picture like this. Even if it is a little fuzzy from my phone. Totally worth it.

Oh to be young again.

Not that I'm really that old, but you know what I mean. So I was at the grocery store a while back and came across something that I haven't seen in years. I was going to take a picture to put up on here, but I can't find it. You'll know when I find it again. (found it)Anywho, so it's that gooey stuff that you put on the end on a small hard straw and blow bubbles with. It smells terrible, and you could probably get high off of it if you really wanted to. It comes in different colors and when you blow a bubble with it it sticks to itself and has that rainbow effect like gasoline in water. You know what I'm talking about?! Well, so I found some at the store in big tubes. They usually sold about 4 to a package, but this one had 2 big tubes of it. I brought it home and had way too much fun with my friend Sam. He had never seen it before so he didn't really know what to do with it. He just blew a few balloons that we tossed around and then popped. I on the other hand built a masterpeice. I'm totally putting this stuff aside for the next time I stroll down memory lane. Man I miss those days.

I'm blue abba dee abba di.....

Blue is our house with blue little windows... I wish I had a blue Corvette. So anywho, this is the blue house in which I live.
Along with my two, soon to be four roomates. The light blue isn't so bad, it's the recycle bin blue that's pretty gross. Now take a mixture of the two ouside colors and soak the entire inside of the house. Yes, it really is ALL blue. We've done a lot of painting to change that, but still haven't gotten to it all. The front room is now yellow and red, my room is brown and green, Amber's is brown and red and so forth. But don't worry, the kitchen, closets, hallway and everything thing else is still blue. I doubt we will ever be able to cover it all up. It does give the house a personality though. Some character. Garna's dad thought it was pretty funny when he painted it all. We don't think it's that funny. But hey, it's still a house and we live in it. Woot woot!

So You Think You Can Dance...

So If you watched SYTYCD last season, you would know who Sabra is. She's the girl who won. Yeah, she was at our show lastnight with Kameron and a few of the other people from the touring show. She's good friends with one of my actors. It was pretty funny though cause they put on one of their best performances last night. It was an awesome audience, but I think they were showing off a little. Anywho, she's an adorable little short girl. Gorgeous smile too. Man I love working with such talented people.

A bit early?... I think not

So last Sunday my two roomates got way to excited for Christmas and how we were going to rearrange things. Our Christmas tree has now been up for almost a week, and we have more plans to decorate around the house. We have an awesome from window that we put the tree up in. We had to move around a bunch of our furniture to get it there, but it all worked out. We also had our handy semi-roomate Brad to help out. He mostly just sat on the couch covered in ornaments and told us where a hole was. He did, however, put the star on top. He was the only one who could reach. It looks pretty awesome. It also rotates. So pretty much we decided to skip over Thanksgiving altogether, decoration wise, and get to the good stuff! I'm sure many, many parties will ensue along with the new arrival of two new roomates. Crissy is coming the beginning of Dec, and Crystal Lyn is coming in the beginning of the year. It's going to be pretty crowded for a few months until Garna leaves on her mission. We are all excited for her. So that's the latest.
