Electrics Crew is coming together nicely

I got an email from Emily today and here is what she told me:

Emily is coming back as ME for the Adams again.

Angie (that's WITH an 'e' bitches!!!) is coming back as ME for the Randall!

They haven't figured out who is on which crew yet, but....

Todd, Derek and Sean are coming back!

H O O R A Y ! ! !

There is a guy from Kent State (who Angie says is cool) who will also be a sparky this summer.

Y A Y ! !

That's all they have hired so far but they have more people in the works so stay tuned.

Losing weight sucks my ass

Aaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhh!!!

Okay so I have been doing the Discovery Health Body Challenge for 2 weeks. Have I lost any weight? Well okay so I lost the 7 lbs that I gained over Christmas. But have I lost any more? Nope. Am I at the gym sweating my ass off on the treadmill? Yes. The first week I only went 3 times because they said "start slow." Okay so I started slow but this week I said "fuck it" and have been going every day. Am I losing any weight? NO. Are my muscles sore? Yes. Have I lost any inches? Not that I can see.

Grrrr.

I'm working out an hour a day and eating right. I stopped the Adkins thing and went to low fat -low calories. I know that it is healthier but I was losing weight before when I was on low carb!!!!! SO I guess I am going to try to do something like a mix of low carb and low calorie and try to keep the fat under control as well. Damn seems like I might as well just take vitamins and eat celery! (Stop it! I would never really do that so don't you dare send me an email about how you are worried that I am going to make myself sick!)

The truth behind my problems losing weight???

C H O C O L A T E

and candy. Yes, its true, I am an adult who LOVES candy. Why why why do I have to have a freaking sweet tooth?????????? Because God hates me, that's why. No, I guess that's a cop out and its really that I hate dieting and exercise.

Okay I am trying so get off my back! (talking to myself I think)

My promise to myself: just get through every day.....and go to the gym!

I need something. Maybe encouragement - maybe kudos - maybe a candy bar (okay maybe not). I need to believe that I can actually do it.....cause right now the scale is not my friend.....

Yeah, that's right! I wrote a blog whining about me and pitying myself. WHAT???????!!?



(apparently being passive aggressive makes me feel better)

Utah hiring update

Hey ya'll,

Okay so here is the list of SM's to date.

Terry and Sherin D. are a team (I know Sherin will take good care of my Terry - - so be nice to her!)

Becky and Amanda are back and hotter than ever. DAMN!

Karen (our fearless leader) is back but she's not hired her deck manager yet.

I am back as Equity ASM,
Jamie is back as Admin. SM and
Debbie M. will be a PA in one of the spaces (she's hoping for the Randall)

Karen is still looking for the following positions (now she has made some offers on these positions so don't freak out if you are reading this wondering why your job is supposedly still open!!!!)

1 Deck Manager
1 summer PA
The Greenshow SM

So if you want one of these jobs, you better get a hold of Karen ASAP because you know they will go quickly.

Okay next I hope to list the Scenic staff. If you didn't already hear, Richard G. (he was ASS in the Randall last year) is taking over for Grant while they do a search for a permanent person.

WE WILL MISS Grant, Alex and little Ethan!!!!!!!! But they will be great in Omaha and we are very happy for them.

More to come!

Petey our Road Dog makes a blog

Hey guys!

So Petey (aka Road Dog) is off to Germany with West Side Story. He has decided to chronicle it all with a blog.

So when you have a minute, take a look! He will be updating it often and I think it will be cool to follow him on the road.

www.peteyroad.blog.com <---- BOOKMARK IT!!!!!

Awwwww! Petey is all grown up. I know we will all miss him at Utah.

HAVE FUN PETEY!!!!!

A new beginning

Hey guys!

Sadly, Grant H. will not be back to Utah this summer. He has taken a job in Omaha, NE so he and Alex and little Ethan will all be heading out at the end of this semester. BOO! However, the new job is closer to his family and there is room for advancement and I heard there is a job for Alex too!

YES I KNOW WHO IS TAKING HIS PLACE!

(But I can't say until the person actually signs a contract - - sorry)

I'll let you know as soon as I can. You can wait.....I know you can!

Stage Managers be ready!

Karen is calling people as I type this. I will post a list as soon as I get it.

I will tell you that I accepted Equity ASM for the summer (Trudy's old job) and also rehearsal PSM for Peg 'O My Heart in the fall. YAY!

Jamie is taking the Admin.SM and she will be ASM on one of the shows during the fall. YAY

Debbie will be a PA for the summer and Deck Manager for Merchant and Peg for the fall!!!!! YAY

MORE TO COME...

I got a pony for Christmas!!!!!!!

heh heh so I got a new car for Christmas! Well sort of for Christmas.... the deal is I traded cars with my dad. He took the 1996 Rav 4 (Karl named it Jesus and Ralph called it Fascist DIVA) ~~ seen here on our last voyage across the country together~~






and I took the 2004 Mustang convertible!!!! (Yeah--we all agree I got the better deal here!!!!) Oh what a pretty car. McKenzie named her Stella and it seems to be right.

Stella is the 40th anniversary edition, she's a V6 with power everything.

Kenzie spent most of the drive home telling us how much she loves my new "pony."

I love it too.

Now the question as to if I will be driving it to Utah has come up....I just don't know. I would like to take it out there, but I don't want it to get covered in tree sap and I also don't want it to sit out overnight for 2 months. But damn! Woudn't it be a great car to have out there!??!!! Ha! Can you imagine me trying to remember to cover it every night? I can see it now - it's 2 am and Jamie, Debbie and I are puddles on the couch....I get up to drag myself off to dreamland and Jamie says.....did you cover the car???!!!?? BOOO!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what I would do with no car! Holy crap! I would have to walk everywhere! (hmmm.....)

But who will drive to the Bowling Party? And to REACH? Ahhh well the saga continues....I'll let you know.


Oh P.S. Matty and I walked for 15 minutes this morning! yay!

USF Company Manager Position

Okay so here is the fist job posting for the Utah Shakespearean Festival. Melissa Skinner put this up on Friendster and I thought I would pass it on!

Please be a nice person if you apply!

Applications are due by January 11th so get moving.

http://www.suu.edu/ad/hr/jobs/USFCompanyManager.html

Well we went and did it....plus Christmas photo update....

Matty and I joined the National Body Challenge 2006. We get 2 months free at Bally's and they also do this online meal plan and stuff. It seems pretty cool. It starts on Jan 14 and goes until March 11. I am thinking that if I tell everyone about it, we have to keep up with it (sort of the same philosophy that I used on the quitting smoking thing). I have been slipping since Christmas...what a surprise, right? Well hopefully this will be the time we really stick to it.

So look here for updates and crap ~ ~ probably some whining and excuses too ~ ~

I am having trouble getting the Christmas photos to upload to Blogger. I don't know why it is not working, but I will keep trying, promise!! I think I may give up on Blogger's photo capabilities and just use the Friendster Photo Album. I am uploading the Christmas photos right now. CLICK HERE to go to them. (WARNING: they are not all uploaded yet, keep your pants on!) :D

Oh I love this Friendster photo album thingy! Blogger is crappy because it will only work if I do it one photo at a time....if I do more than one it acts like it is uploading then nothing appears. Well I guess I will still put some extra cute photos on here. S-L-O-W-L-Y~~~

help, please

Hey does anyone have a subscription to artSEARCH I could borrow? My subscription ran out and I can't really afford to get it renewed right this second.

Let me know?

Thanks!

I will make a real post soon I promise. I just need to get my ducks in a row (you know how I like to have my ducks in a row!) and make some decisions before I can get back to being your witty cyberpal.

P.S. To all of you USF SM's, Karen told me she was going to start calling people next week.

I might know who else has been hired soon. I think Zak will know some stuff pretty soon and he might even remember it correctly! (Here's hoping!!!!!)

yeah....I know I posted this on The Porch too....it's on account that I really need to look at some filler jobs for next year. Thanks.
