Dog Days of Summer

dress: Zara, belt: H&M, boots: Mia from Nordstrom Rack, scarf (not pictured): gift from grandma, bracelet: coral from Hawaii

It's the last nice day (probably) and oh am I enjoying it! I am in a little dress and rocking the boots and totally just enjoying the heat for what will probably be one of the last nice days of the year... I always get like this at the end of summer (especially at the end of a craptastic summer like this one...), but in about a week, when I get to break back into all my scarves, hats, gloves, boots, tights, socks and coats then I get all excited again.  I get a whole new wardrobe whenever the weather changes!

Yesterday was pretty darn epic.  Yoga was so small and she knew all of us so she definitely worked us HARD.  My obliques are yelling at me a bit for sure.  Then I had my first real staging/blocking rehearsal and WOW this show is gonna be GREAT!  It is so much fun already and seriously, Candy is ridiculous.  I am loving her.  At the meet-and-greet Dan said something about how every character has a line (or a few) in the play which really outline their position on life and the theft and last night was the first time Candy gets to say hers.  And she says it A LOT.  All different variations and wordings, but basically it boils down to: "I love this money!" And I do.

 I can't wait to get the real money and really feel her excitement throughout... Yesterday we were using all these bags of shredded paper and... they kinda got everywhere.  I even found some on my floor when I got changed for bed late last night... It was ridiculous, but super nice to have "business" to do onstage throughout the scene.  It was a good rehearsal (although I think anytime a director tells me "I like it when you play with his chest hair" that counts as a good rehearsal).

After rehearsal I wandered downstairs (literally, RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS) to FFOK where I got to hangout with new people and some of the regulars too. But no one that I really knew was there... so at one point everyone I was sitting with got up and left me at the same time, so I turned around to try to join in at the table behind me and as I was about to introduce myself and one of the guys (before I even said my name) goes "It's Gina!"  I am totes known at FFOK...  Then (finally) I got to sing some musicals "When You're Good to Mama" and "Don't Cry For Me, Argentina" (thought of you on that one, Dad & Pam!).  I truly heart FFOK...

Super excited to get off at 1PM today and then wander over to Steph's to look in on the kitteh and take a little rooftop nap?  Perhaps... then I think I'm gonna wander down to Costco to pick up my contacts and meet my Mama at the M's game!  Good night off from rehearsal and the start of a great 3-day weekend!
