April Highlights

April has been so full and busy, I've barely had time to breathe, never mind blog! Last week, I managed an all-day dance program for tween girls during their school vacation. Exhausting to say the least. My day went something like this - Wake up at 4:45am, curse the universe at 4:46am, drive to Amesbury for 6:30am, car pool with my co-workers to Newton for 7:45am, work with the girls from 8:00-4:30pm, reverse the commute, get home around 6:30pm, eat dinner, crash by 9:30pm. 


Notice that there is NOTHING about keeping house in there. Remember my two-thirds life theory? Yeah...when I work these intensive programs, my home becomes a disaster zone. I spent the majority of this past weekend reclaiming my apartment.

Now that that's been done, I can exhale a bit and tell you about the April highlights! Ooohhh - Aaahhh! 


1. Laydeez Coffeez

Now that spring is starting to grace us with more sunshine-y days we've decided to take Laydeez Coffeez to the great outdoors. Grady has been waiting for me to put this picture of us sitting on the Prescott Park stage for weeks! Here Grady! By the way, that swirl we are sitting on is the yellow brick road, from last summer's production of The Wizard of Oz. 

And "Laydeez Coffeez" turned into "Laydeez Icecreamz" a few weeks ago when we took a jaunt to The Ice House.

2. Easter at Thom's

We had Easter brunch at my brother Thom's house this year. So much food, and so delicious!

3. Spring dresses!

The sunshine has really been bringing out my inner girly-girl! I've been rocking the springy dresses lately. And since my crippled dancer feet have been behaving lately, I've been wearing heels a bit more!

4. Spotlight Awards

The Spotlight Awards are like our community's version of the Grammys, Tonys and Academy Awards all rolled into one. Remember last summer when I choreographed/was a cast member of A Midsummer Night's Dream? Well, we won the People's Choice Spottie for Best Play!

We were totally graceful and gracious winners...

And that's pretty much been my April! Phew! It's good to be back.
