And Today Was a Day Just Like Any Other…

by Jill Knetter on June 23rd, 2008

…hmm…that may be this week’s Song of the Week™…

Anyhoo, it is Monday, and what a Monday it has been. I had my first day off in over a week (score!), and it was relatively relaxing. I made an attempt on my bedroom. It’s pretty packed with stuff that I’ve amassed over the years, so I’m trying to sort through and decide what to keep and what to ditch. My one big accomplishment came in the form of getting rid of 20-30 pairs of shoes that were in my closet. There were some I’d forgotten I had, and I hadn’t even looked at probably 80% of them in years. Amazing. I was so proud of myself that I called Ben (who is new here on CW, by the way) and we walked down to Main Street Soft Serve and got some ice cream. Then we went back to his house and swam in the pool. It was glorious.

Speaking of glorious, we had some nice weather this weekend! In particular I’m referring to Saturday’s weather. Well, I know most of you in Wausau got rained on, but over in Edgar it was sunny, warm, and very pleasant. That was great because a friend of mine (Ben’s sister) had her graduation party that day, and I’m really glad it didn’t get rained out. I didn’t get there until almost 8 that evening, but I had a fantastic time. I judged badminton, swam, ate grad party food (the best part!), and got to see a lot of old friends as well as make a few new ones.

Tonight at rehearsal we found out that, starting tomorrow night, every night is going to be a full run of the show (yikes!). I think it’ll be nice to get used to doing it all at once since we’ve only been doing one act a night. But this means that our performances are not far off. In fact, I think Eric (the assistant director) said we’ve got 8 rehearsals left at the WCT building, and after that it’s tech week at Tango’s. Time flies. I will be very sad to see the back of this show - I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this level of cast bonding before. It’s really been incredible.

This is where I leave you for tonight. Have a great week, everyone!
