CATS! and Seussical Jr. and rain...

So Saturday we went to go see CATS! It was AWESOME! I absolutely LOVED it! I have wanted to see CATS! live for a long time so it was sooooo cool to see it live! Jc had heard that the Broadway CATS! was very different from the West End Theater's movie (the one that I have) but they were incredibly similar. Both the choreography and the costumes were very similar. Unfortunately one of my favorite scenes from the movie was not in the show but there was a scene in the show that wasn't in the movie.

Yesterday we went to see the Seussical Jr. performed by a local children's theater. It was great! It was so funny watching another theater perform it because jc and I were in it last summer at a different theater. After the first number I thought oh no, this is going to be a disaster, but it was actually quite good! I think that my favorite characters were the Wickersham brothers, Mayzie and the Cat-in-the-Hat. They were all very good at their parts.

In other news not much is going on around here

besides
a
whole
lot
of
rain.

We were or are (I'm not sure which) under a flood watch. And I thought it wasn't going to rain as much up here. The only problem is that with rain comes severe weather and with severe weather comes tornadoes. In Nac a lot of rain in the spring meant it would be reeeally humid. Up here a lot of rain in the spring means a possibility of tornadoes. Fun.

Well I need to get off now but before I close: when jc posts a quiz, everybody takes it! When I posted a quiz, nobody took it! Whats up? ;)

Frisbee golf (and other happenings) (and now Cats and Seussical Jr.)

Ahhh! The end of a long week! Last Tuesday our grandparents came up for a choir concert. The concert went well although I almost lost a most beloved (and valuable) mirror. Thursday we went to the Cowboy Museum and played some frisbee golf. Saturday we went to the arts festival and I saw some absolutely gorgeous jewelry! To read more about the festival, jc posted about it so you can read her post.

Sunday we went to church and watched Americas Funniest Home Videos.

Monday we played More frisbee golf and had a few adventures on this one particular hole. It was a tricky hole to play because it went over a small creek and had one small path cut through a big group of trees. So my grandpa went to throw but right as he let go he slipped and fell! It was like something you'd see on Americas Funniest home Videos! Then, my grandpa saw something on the bank on the creek (it turned out to be a frisbee) and then when he went to get it he couldn't get back up! I almost died laughing! But unfortunately my laughter was silenced.

As we were going towards the next hole I decided to try a different path then everyone else that ran parallel with the one they were on. Then I made the mistake of trying to cut across to the other path. Big mistake. As I was about halfway over I looked down just as I was taking a step and came within a 1/4 of an inch of stepping on this snake that was bout the biggest snake I've seen outside of a zoo! I screamed louder then I have screamed in a long time. But d'ya know what really got me? Afterwards my grandpa asked me what the head of the snake looked like and was surprised that I forgot to look! Anyways.

I found this cool test that is really funny! To take it click on this link. I am 86% Dixie! Haha!

Sunday we are going to see a local theater perform the Seussical Jr.! Ordinarily that wouldn't be so exciting but this last summer jc and I were in the Seussical! It will be interesting to see how they do it differently!

Christmas play

Hello! Today my church is having the childrens and the adults christmas plays. well, in the childrens christmas play, the girl who was supposed to play one of the two main charicters is sick and probably won't be ther so guess who got picked today to fill in? You guessed it, me. I won't have to memorize anything because I'll just read the lines out of the book but I do have a short solo that I have to learn and my voice is kinda hoarse because I am just a tiny bit sick. Well, I guess I will just have to do as good as I can.

Seussical

Well hello everyone, it has been a while since I posted but I am back now. Yesterday was the audience dress rehearsal at Lamp-Light for the Seussicle and it went very well. There were a few small mistakes but overall it went really well. I play a who and I am also a water friend in one scene. Tonight is opening night and amazingly I am not one little bit nervous. I have had fun in this production and I will be very sad when it ends. The main story is based off the book by Dr. Seuss called Horton hears a Who. The main characters are Horton, The Cat in the Hat and the Mayor of Whovill's son JoJo. In the story Horton hears the whos on their speck of dust calling for help. He puts the dust on a clover and vows to protect it at all costs. The inhabitants of the jungle say he's crazy because they can't hear the whos. The story continues on with JoJo being sent off to war and three monkeys stealing the clover with the dust speck on it and Horton being sent off to the circus McGurcas while sitting on a nest with an egg in it. Now, do I have your curiosity aroused? Well, thats all you'll get from me! you'll just have to come see the production or read the book Horton hears a Who by Dr. Seuss. Well, that's all folks!
