IL?...Iowa?...who knows....i'm on a BUS.

It's been an eventful Thursday travel day so far....

WELL.

Lisa Finegold had a splinter in her right? (I think) foot!!

It was large.

and deep.

I'd say about half an inch long.

I was the one who found it in her foot.

Stephen did operation on her foot on the bus this morning.

He used a tweezer and carefully pulled that sucker right out!

ThAnK GoD.

Other life CHANGING...EXCITING news...from today...

Our 30 minute lunch stop.

We stopped at the 

WORLDS LARGEST TRUCK STOP.

In IOWA. ....I don't know exactly where in Iowa.

Somewhere on our red bus...all I see in farmland...flat. flat. corn fields covered in snow.

for miles and miles....

You're ALL jealous.

Just.

Jealous.

the real deal.

Oh yeah ...it is winter isn't it...

It's 13 degrees outside...it was 9 degrees an hour ago, but at least it's sunny?

Last week seemed like a lovely a vacation in the sun. 

I wish we were in Florida longer.

We flew Monday morning to St. Louis and had the night off.
Yesterday, we drove to chilly Peroia, IL.

I'm missin' that pool.

We had a huge crowd last night for a Tuesday night audience.

I only got one bruise during the show last night.

I have been a bit more clumsy than usual lately....

Last night I got a bruise on my leg when Stephen lifted me during "Search is Over."


At least I didn't fall.
Last week, I fell.
Terrible.
It happened after the scene with Franz about following his dreams. 
The girls and I are all chained together. I say "You're a good guy Franz," and he runs off. 
Then, we walk off in the dark with the chains on us.
I was really acting.
 lol.
very sad, pouty walk off.
committed. 


....TOO committed.
Well, I walked TOO hard stepping on the chain.
I slipped. 
I landed.
BOOM!
...I'm sprawled out right next to the pole onstage.
(Thank God I didn't hit that again..)


Oh. 
That's not all....
I didn't go down alone.


I took Tush down with me because....well, we are attached by the chain.
The lights come up.
We are still on the ground.
Looking Foolish.
We scurry offstage as fast as we can while the next scene is literally STARTING.
But...
 The entire audience already saw us on the floor.
Just embarrassing.
Cue the LAUGHTER from the audience.


I know funny.
You know what they didn't know.
That fall REALLY hurt!
I had a bruise on my hand and my knee!
double ouch.


AND.
Tush fell earlier that day at the first show.
She had a double fall day.
twice.


haha.


ok.


it's funny.


So yesterday's bruise....not AS funny..

Stephen lifts me during "Search is Over"...and my boobs are usually in his face. 

I just don't get up there very high.
It's an exciting day when I do.

But yesterday I was flyin' high!

BUT, on the way up his belt jabbed right into my knee. 
hard.

ouch.

I kept smiling though. 

(I get really excited when he lifts me really high!)

It was a gooooood show.
OOoo Guess what!?
Earlier during "Hit Me," I also ALMOST got all the way down in my split! 

It's a Rock of Ages miracle!!
I don't think you understand.
I'm NOT a flexible girl. I've never been able to do a split my entire life! 
It's been a problem.
It's something I seriously am going to work on in 2012!

(Maybe if I hold the other split during "Can't Fight This Feeling" for the next 3 months I'll have BOTH splits!)

#flexibiltyproblems

SO.

Who's excited???

Mary Postotnik 

(my mother)

is HERE TODAY!

woot woot.

She didn't leave as early as I wanted her to, but she'll be here by 2pm. 

Sometimes you just need your Mom to come visit!

Thankfully we are close to WI.

It's only about a 3 hour drive!

It's going to be a good day.

much love.

Katie

sup FloRiDa!

Sun! Beach! Palm Trees! Pool Time! ....what more could a girl ask for??

Yes, that's right people we are in Ft. Meyers, FLORIDA. 

In January.

Life is GOOD.

Life is BEAUTIFUL.

Palm Trees.

It's true. 

I'm by the pool. 

Soakin' up the SUN.

I've been here since 10 and I'll be here till 4....

SO relaxing.

We have to enjoy this nice weather while we can...next week we are headed NORTH.

This has basically been my week...the beach and the pool...oh and a show at night!!

I LOVE FLORIDA!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2012!

Happy 2012 Everyone!

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season. 

We sure did!

The holidays are over...time for those New Years Resolutions to start...

A new year...it is a time for new beginnings..new opportunities...

I personally made some goals for the new year...

have you?

2011 was a great year.

I loved living in NYC. 

I babysat for an amazing family, took classes, auditioned, learned a lot about myself, booked this amazing job, and hit the road with my new ROA family.

I am so blessed. 

I am so grateful for this wonderful opportunity and to work with such a loving cast.
just thankful.


Here are some quotes for the new year...
why not? 
i mean right?


Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called “Opportunity” and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

What will the new year bring for you?

Earlier this week we were in sunny Sarasota, FL. 
It was beautiful, but for some reason it was only 45 degrees!!! terrible. 
The beach looked SO gorgeous. I wanted to go jump in it terribly!

We are on our way to Virginia right now. 

We have had some long bus rides...5am-5pm yesterday! 

You're all jealous... I know!

BUT!

 I finished editing this video from East Lansing!

Here's another holiday video... from our gingerbread house making experience...

ENJOY!
