A Holiday Update

As of last night I am back on campus, however, I'm not here to stay. I have the trip to Milwaukee to look forward to in the coming week. We had our first day of rehearsal yesterday and I have to go back for round two in a few hours. I'm on electrics crew, so my work is agreeable. We only have to hang and cable four lights, the rest of our work will be switching out gels and focusing. We don't even have to run the fly system, the house crew is taking care of it. Sweet Action!!!

Okay, so working backwards here are some details on my holidays.

New Years:
I stayed home with Momma because she wasn't feeling well. I did get a few interesting phone calls...I talked to nearly every person named Matt that I know. Lol...it was kind of the theme for the night.

My Birthday:
Was amazing!
Mom took Heather R and I out to Liberty to meet up with Dick and have a few drinks with them, then around 6:00 we left for Batesville to meet up with the rest of the group.
I had my mom, Aunt Rhonda, Heather Davis and Heather Robinson all go up to Indy with me. We planned on going to Howl at the Moon Saloon, but after arriving at its doors found it to still be closed for the holiday. Oh well, now I have a promised visit from Mom and others to go "Howl" with me.
Our next stop was Hard Rock Cafe, but before I could get to it I ran into a friend from home...he scared the hell out of me, but I was still more than happy to see him. Yay Bryce! He was in town w/his new boy. (A cute new boy at that...why are they all gay?)
We had a blast at Hard Rock, we had blow jobs and raced to tie knots in cherry stems....the bartender loved us, wonder why? ;P
We ended the evening at the Slippery Noodle. It's the oldest bar in Indiana and they have live blues every night. I know it was a little loud for Mom's taste, and truth be told I would have liked to be able to have more conversation around the table, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
Yay 21!!! XD

Christmas:
As always Christmas Day was spent with Mom and her side of the family and Christmas Eve spent with Dad's. We meet Dad for a Christmas dinner on the 23rd. Nothing to terribly out of the ordinary occurred over these three days. Grandma left early, I guess the puddin had already started. (Don't ask me what that means, I don't know.)
I did get some pretty awesome presents and I'm very proud of some of the gifts I found for others. I'll not bore you with a long list...my two favorite things were the Wii mom got me for Christmas and the Rum Cake Aunt Kathy made me. The cake was technically for my birthday...so was the DDR game for Wii Mom let me open early, but hey, they're so close it doesn't matter.
Jack sends his Christmas wishes. He's the reason we didn't put ornaments one the tree this year....

Happy Holidays everybody! Best of wishes for 2008.

With love,
Amanda
