June 12th-13th! 2011

June 12th
2 shows today and tomorrow, ahh!!! Kidding...I know it will be fine. I didn't think I had anyone coming today but alas, at the end of the show, Carlton (met him at a star island mansion party) was there...I pretended like I didn't see him. He might be someone to know but he's gonna have to work a bit at getting me, lol...I saw he had texted earlier about coming but I never got the text messages due to the fact that I have no reception in the theatre building. I bonded a bit with my gay boyfriend, I flat out asked him if he was gay and he told me he wasn't...some nerve, lol...oh well, I guess he's not ready to come out of the closet. I was exhausted after the 2nd show that I didn't even go into the lobby to greet anyone.
June 13th
I carpooled with the gay boyfriend, I probably shouldn't have...I forgot it was very sunny and hot out but I sucked it up...it was a good show. It actually got taped so it looks like I will be getting a reel done, yay!!!. Went home, got in the jacuzzi, showered and watched one of my favorite shows, True Blood. I signed up for the evening pole class...looks like I will definitely be sleeping late tomorrow...I love me life!

June 8th-11th, 2010

June 8th
Rehearsal today since this week is opening week. Didn't do much, ran a few errands (bank, cleaners, etc). Looking forward to my brother coming in town tomorrow, to see me perform on Thursday

June 9th
Went to my pole fitness class (I was the only one there so it was great!) and did some cardio at my condo's gym, showered, got my car washed (I always have this guy trying to sell me more than I want and I always give a resounding NO! lol). My brother calls right on time and I go to pick him up from the airport and we head home. A few hours later, I'm off to rehearsal so I have the bff take him to dinner while I'm gone. They went to our favorite Mexican place and he loved it. Rehearsal was same old same old, I was just looking forward to performing tomorrow!!! But the directors husband told me I had to "talk" my part instead of singing because according to him, I sounded pitchy. Mind you, I wasn't mic'ed and had to scream over the band...the band couldn't hear me either so of course I was fucking pitchy!!! All this change happens ONE DAY before showtime, really??? Ugh!!! I decided to sleep on it

June 10th
Today is opening night! I got a good night's rest. I got ready, had one of my castmates pick me up and made arrangement for my bff to pick Ben up so we could all ride back together in one car. My hair stylist was showing up, as well as another one of my girlfriends (used to be a guy), and a couple that I knew. I had a crowd for sure. I wasn't really nervous..just a bit annoyed from my last minute change, but being the person that I am, I winged it and I did very well....got a lot of compliments, so I guess it worked out in the end. I had butterflies in my stomach in the beginning of the first act but they went away a few minutes into it. After the show, I met with my brother and friends in the lobby, they praised me and it felt good! We made plans to go to the Blue Martini nearby but Ben forgot his ID so they won't let him in, I had one drink and we headed back home, grabbed a bite and went to bed; I could have partied a for a little bit but I guess it worked out because I didn't need to be stressing my voice anyways.

June 11th
Dropped Ben off at the airport, he is going to be studying for his board exams now so that he can get licensed so I probably won't be seeing him for a while. Went home, made a few edits to my private flight attendant website, checked and returned a few emails, took a nap, and then got ready to head out for 2nd day of show. I had to shower in the women's locker room bathroom because mine had to be re caulked...my building is very nit picky about EVERYTHING!!! Oh well...drove myself today, got there, applied make up and got ready for showtime...I was expecting two friends tonight. The energy wasn't as high as last night but we did great! Met up with my friends after the show and ran into this gay guy who runs in some of my circles (I swear he is EVERYWHERE!, lol). Packed up and headed home...now I'm going to head to bed because we have 2 shows tomorrow...one matinee and one evening...Lord give me strength!
