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!)

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.
