</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Sorry this has been such a quiet week on the blog front. Not much exciting has happen. I decided to rest up so I'm ready to go when shcool (and rehearsals for Fiddler on the Roof) start on Monday.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Last night and today however was full of lots and LOTS o'cooking! I've come to realize that it is SO much more cost and time effective if I take a day to cook a bunch of meals and freeze them individually for evenings when I don't get home until very late (...most evenings in my case...). It's also easy to just throw them in my lunch bag so I don't have to buy food at school :) So, as per usual I took pictures of my adventures.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In total I made chili (4 portions), Mulligatawny soup (4 portions), my FAVORITE spaghetti recipe-my grandmother on my father's side (3 portions...I would have had 4 but made one today's lunch...), Sausage with scalloped potatoes (2 portions), pepper steak and scalloped potatoes (1 portion) and couscous salad with indian beef (2 portions). The freezer is packed FULL!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I have read SO many articles on how to prevent crying when cutting onions (and pretty much EVERY recipe I made contained onions...). I read about cutting onions while chewing gum, while holding a piece of bread in your mouth with part of it hanging out, and keeping the peeled onion in the freezer until it's ready to be chopped. Let me tell you, NONE of them worked...and it's a darn good thing that I was home alone-I'm positive I looked like a fool. I did, however come up with a solution of my own. One a tad more fashionable then wearing chemistry goggles...ladies and gentleman, I present to you:</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This, is a very, VERY early morning blog post...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I could not for the life of me stay asleep tonight so I decided to re-vamp my blog. (I've only had it for 3 weeks and I'm already re-designing it...eek!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hope you all like it, let mw know in the comments section below what you think (keep it, change it back, change it to something completely different...). That being said, I invite you to always leave any comments on any of my blog posts if you do feel so inclined...I'd love some feedback!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas (or holiday celebration) and continue to enjoy your time with the people you love (friends, family, animals!, etc.). I for one still have a couple more (3) Christmas celebrations to go.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I leave you now with an amazing photo project </span><a href="http://1010project.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. It's called the "1010" project. 10 photographers, 10 photos each, all taken on October 10, 2010 (10/10/10). I hope you enjoy it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cheers!</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I don't even know WHERE to begin with this blog post. There is just SO much to say and just SO much excitement flowing through me right now!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Let's start at the VERY beginning (it's a very GOOD place to start...or so I hear...)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">SO. Yesterday morning was our auditions for our April production of "Fiddler on the Roof" at the Brockville Arts Centre. Tickets are available ALREADY! Get them <a href="https://www.bactickets.ca/TheatreManager/1/login&event=0">HERE</a>!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I felt quite happy with my audition. And, really, I'd been preparing for it since April of LAST year...so I should freakin' hope I'd be ready!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In any case, it went well and all that was left to do was wait and see what came of it.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It was such a hard decision for me to choose whether or not to audition for this project. I have in fact chosen to go the production route with my career (and work backstage), but I thought it would be another great learning experience for me to know even better the performance aspect of theatre. I was especially happy with my decision to audition when the cast list was posted this afternoon and I found myself cast as Golde (more info on the show and character descriptions <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiddler_on_the_Roof">HERE</a>). This was the character I auditioned for and am quite grateful for this opportunity I've been given to work with such amazing people as the peers I am surrounded by in my program. It felt great to know that my teachers believe that I can do this. (And congratulations to everyone, this will be a great show!)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Moving on to this afternoon I attended a final rehearsal for "A Community Christmas" (tickets available <a href="https://www.bactickets.ca/TheatreManager/1/login&event=0">HERE</a> or available at the door). The show is tomorrow (Saturday, December 18) evening at the Brockville Arts Centre and is featuring Chris Coyea (head of the music discipline at SLC) and Alex Fleuriau-Chateau (a vocal professor at SLC) and different groups from the Brockville community. I am fortunate enough to be able to assistant stage manage AND be in this show. It was such a great night of great company and AMAZING music. This show is going to be fabulous-a DEFINITE one NOT to miss!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After the show I went to dinner with Chris and Marianne (stage manager for the show) and a few of other people who are participating in the show for a lovely dinner. It's amazing the sense of community and family in Brockville. Perhaps I'm simply seeing the tight knit group that has blossomed from a common interest in music, but I just can't get over how welcoming so many people have been, especially to someone like myself who sort of just threw herself into the midst of all this production stuff!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I think it has really hit me in the past couple of days how so unbelievably blessed I am to be able to be surrounded by such amazing friends, and family and peers and colleagues. The people I find myself with or find myself talking to day after day are so talented and humble and genuine and generous... I can't help but think sometimes that I'm seeing things through rose coloured glasses. I'd like to take a minute to thank those people in my life (both family AND friends) who have been so open and loving to me. Although I may not always acknowledge it, please know that it doesn't go un-noticed. You have all influenced me so much.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Someone told me today that they like reading my blog because it's short and gets right to the point...SORRY! I realize this post has been somewhat (haha...right) longer than my normal posts but I felt so inspired to write tonight I just needed to put it all out there!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thanks for bearing with me and continuing to support me and my blog!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Much love and thanks to ALL!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">xoxo</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">K.</div><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, I was sitting here in my large comfy bed just browsing through my long list of different blogs I read. Yesterday, for the first time, I entered a contest on one of them (<a href="http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/">Cup of Jo</a>). I went back today to see if I had one (and didn't in fact) but stumbled upon the blog of the person who did. <a href="http://apairofbrighteyes.blogspot.com/">Rebecca</a>. I had never seen this blog before, but found interest in the second post I saw on her page. It linked to a YouTube video, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtTa81LyuQM">THIS ONE</a> to be exact, and I couldn't help but repost this beautiful song by Andrew Peterson called "Dancing in the Minefields". I had never heard of Andrew Peterson or this song but immediately knew I had to pass it along to the readers of my blog.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This song has such beautiful lyrics and made me wonder what comes over someone to write with such power. After reading some of the comments on the video I realized maybe it had more of a christian following then alot of mainstream music (maybe that's why I'd never heard it?) But the song made me think. It distracted me from whatever I was mulling in my mind and made me want to know that feeling he sings about. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Let me know what you think about it. I realize now that this is actually my first post about something I love. Wow...It's only taken me about a week! </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In any case, I hope you all had a lovely day, I'm off to an early slumber before my long day of (voluntary) and (in)voluntary classes.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cheers!</div><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I've been M.I.A. a bit lately due to "White Christmas" but I hope to get right back into it this week!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's a quick <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pwz3l3nbz8">VLOG</a> I whipped up this evening. And now, I'm off to bed!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">102...</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That's how many pageviews I have!!!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I'm so excited to think people might actually be interested in what I have to say.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">However, I do also think I may have gotten to 102 pageviews by viewing my blog to see how many pagevies I actually have (seeing how the blogspot "stats" button isn't working) as so hilariously pointed out one evening this week at the theatre...</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Opening night!!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That's tonight!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This evening is our first official performance of "White Christmas". Tonight and Saturday night the "Kaye" cast will be performing and tomorrow evening and Sunday afternoon our "Crosby" cast will be performing. Both casts are so unbelievably talented, you would be lucky to see either one of them in action (and I feel so unbelievably lucky to work with ALL of them).</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Tickets are now completely sold out for Sunday afternoon's performance but tickets are still available for tonight, tomorrow night and Saturday night performances. Get you tickets <a href="https://www.bactickets.ca/TheatreManager/1/login&event=0">HERE!</a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So today is a fun filled day of catching up on sleep then heading to the theatre for 4. Lots of stuff to get done tonight before we open up the house at 7h30. SHARP!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I hope you all have a fabulous day and thank you again for ALL your support!</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

My. Goodness...</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It is 6:50pm and I am HOME!!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It was quite a long day today.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This morning we had an invited dress rehearsal with approx. 600 elementary and highschool students and the performance was AMAZING! I'm so proud of all my peers and colleagues. This show is spectacular.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After the dress rehearsal we had a 4 hour note session.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then, miraculously, we were sent home!!!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I can't remember the last time I was home this early, it feels amazing! This evening is dedicated to complete and utter relaxation. NO work is being done. NONE. My roomie and I are currently watching "One Tree Hill", just finished dinner and have a plethra of Bulk Barn snacks to last us allll night!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Tomorrow more work looms however. I have a page full of stuff that needs to be done by beginning of next week-laundry, house cleaning, groceries, etc. I have a visitor coming and I want to be prepared!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, with that being said, I shall return to my FAVORITE show..."One Tree Hill", man I hope it gets signed on again for another season!!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cheers!<br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Just a quick post before I head off into sweet slumber (after of course a long awaited Skype call with Sunshine...who's being an ass right now! :D).</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Today was a crazy busy day...arrival at the theatre for 9am which began with a costume parade (all the cast goes through every costume and they show it to the director/chreographer/production team...). After the costume parade we worked quick changes and scene changes followed by a dinner break then a full tech run of the show...lonnnnnng day!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Home at 11 and now talking to this jerkface...</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anywho, that's all for this evening!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cheers!!</div><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So I'm just home from the theatre now, it's been a pretty busy day! This morning we did a load in of all the sounds equipement (mic's, monitors, etc.) and set it all up.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The cast then arrived at 2 and we had a sitzprobe (essentially, the cast sits and sings along with the orchestra for the first time.)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While the sitzprobe was going on I got to be back in the booth watching our sound guy set up levels and stuff for the orchestra...SO COOL!!! So many buttons and knobs!! :)</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I realize after writing that entire paragraph that a good majority of you (who am I kidding, that's totally wishful thinking on my part that people OTHER than my friends and family are reading this blog...)have no idea what show I'm talking about...</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Well ladies and gents, the show is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_%28musical%29">"White Christmas"</a>. The program I'm in at St. Lawrence College is mounting <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_%28musical%29">"White Christmas"</a> as it's December show at the Brockville Arts Centre and we are LESS than a week from openening night (Thursday evening to be exact...).</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Although I am in fact in the musical theatre program I have decided to go a different route with my career and pursue the technical side of theatre (more specifically Stage Management). I absoulutely LOVE seeing what goes on behind the scenes and knowing that so much of my hard work is being enjoyed by so many. That being said, instead of being onstage for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_%28musical%29">"White Christmas"</a> I am assistant stage managing. I've also been fortunate enough to work on sets and painting (also dabbling a bit in setup with lighting etc.) it has been such an enriching educational experience. I've assistant stage managed (and stage managed) shows before but I feel this time around I've gotten SO much more out of it.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you're interested in seeing the show, get your tickets QUICK! They're almost all sold out. (Shameless promotion...I know...)Performances are Thursday, Dec. 9, 2010 at 8pm, Friday, Dec. 10, 2010 at 8pm, Saturday, Dec. 11, 2010 at 8pm and Sunday, Dec. 12, 2010 at 2pm. Get your tickets here: <a href="https://www.bactickets.ca/TheatreManager/1/login&event=0">TICKETS!!</a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, that's my schpiel for today, here's the accompanying <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ60XoTeBpY">Vlog</a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hope you all had a great weekend!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cheers!!</div><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've been reading blogs for years and never thought I'd have anything interesting to say. Maybe I still don't but I'm going for it anyways!</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My mom is always sending me links to some really great blogs and I hope that maybe one day I have that same effect on other people...</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This blog is my way of sharing things that I love, whether it be pictures, videos, recipes, other blogs, clothes, accesories, makeup...you name it, it will probably be on here!</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Along with lists of things I love (including my love of lists...and alliterations...clearly!) I plan on documenting life itself.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> As I said before, I may not be the most interesting person, but maybe somebody somewhere will be able to relate to my daily stuggles, achievements and experiences.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thank you for coming on this journey with me.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
