No free time!

I've been so swamped that I have not had a chance to do any blogging, just read a few here and there. Here is a run-down of the past week:

1 - Baseball games for 2 boys on TWO different teams!
2 - Late night trip to Wal-mart and Applebees for yummy appetizers & dessert for my birthday with JULIE! Thank you!!!! Love my gift and who can say no to chocolate, a good friend and great conversation! (We were at the end of the day and not looking so hot - sorry, no pics!)
3 - Trip to Pinedale in 11 hours - there and back. I'm on the Laurel Retreat committee (Journey to Eternity) and we went up to scout the area where we will hold all the week's activities and it was an emotional, spiritual high! It's going to be an incredible experience for these girls!!
4 - My girls danced at the County Fair. They did great (pics later) and I'm glad we went. It was fun for all, although a short trip.
5 - My nephew was baptized on Saturday afternoon. Fun times and good food with family!
6 - I got a callback from my first audition with Phoenix Theatre's production of Les Miserables!! I go on Saturday morning and sing again for the director who is flying in. Keep your fingers crossed for that! It's a paying gig, too!
7 - Received an email from an old friend who is music directing The Secret Garden and wants me to audition next week. Looks like I may be on the stage this summer after all! YEA!
8 - Went to a callback for a new, original musical. But didn't stay once I found out it was about a bi-sexual woman. Historical and true or not - it's not my cup of tea to play something like that. They were disappointed and called me twice after I left. Oh well.
9 - Monday was my Geoff's birthday -- the last one of his 30's. :) And it was my Dad's birthday too.
10 - Last night was our Enrichment - RS Birthday. It was a great evening honoring Pres Hinckley and the 6 Be's. We had a guest artist sing - George Dyer. He is an amazing talent and eye candy to watch. :)
11 - I got a msg DURING George's song asking me to sing backup for him on Friday evening's concert this week. HA! The soprano backed out at the last minute. So . . . the rest of the week will now look like this:

1 - makeup lessons squeezed in wherever because I have the rehearsal and concert for George on Thursday and Friday nights.
2 - singing for George!
3 - callbacks for Les Mis on Saturday morning at 11:15 - scary and exciting!
4 - teaching, teaching, teaching
5 - finish preparing RS lesson for Sunday - a week early because the other teacher is out of town
6 - 3 more baseball games this week
7 - 1 more dance lesson
8 - preparing for audition early next week for Secret Garden
9 - First Aid clinic for girls camp for Kylee on Saturday - not ready for this! She's not old enough for camp!! IS SHE!?!?
10 - a date in there somewhere with my hubby
11 - work at the theatre this weekend - maybe!

WHEW! I'm tired now! And it hasn't even started yet!!

AHHHH - talk about a chicken with it's head cut off...sorry, but that's all I could think of as I was reading your "calendar of events" for the last few days and those comming up! Seriously, anytime you need anything...I'm just across the street! I was totally happy to take your boy to his game - no problemo! So excited for your upcoming audition - whoohoo...I'll be thinking of you on Saturday :)

Hey Jenn! sounds like you are staying busy and having fun. I got a call from Michelle Bear this morning about the George thing as well. I really wanted to do it but I'm singing in a recital on campus tomorrow night. Boo! I could have actually been able to see you. Thanks for passing along my name. ;) Break a leg in your upcoming auditions!

You're making me tired hearing about that. Good luck with your craziness.

Cecilia said...

I can't wait to find out how your weekend went with that amazing audition!

Audrey said...

That bi-sexual part is making me laugh. How funny would that have been to earn a great part and not know till it was too late?

I am so impressed and a lot jealous. Your voice is so amasing. And all of these Awesome opportunities. I would kill for a voice. Even just a passable one to sing in the choir at church. So I want the update. I know you are busy but I would love to hear how it's going.
