Been pretty quiet lately, had a nice quiet weekend. Friday night was a failure after I was falling asleep watching tv at 9:30, and was in bed by 11:30pm. Saturday I went to the Op Shop in Camberwell and found something to help my costume, and Mum found something to wear to her line dancing show.
Went to Ness' in the evening for a night of Everwood, junk food and other random tv. We're finally getting around to watching Everwood season 4, which means a lot of Chris Pratt, Emily VanCamp and Sarah Drew on our tvs at the moment.
Slept in on Sunday -after some really weird PPP dreams, including one with Violet, Addison and Charlotte getting locked in a cargo container. I'll blame that one on an ep of Revenge I watched Friday night.
Spent the day cleaning up and sorting stuff out, and watching random tv.
My new iphone 4s arrived yesterday, but I can't play with it till my new simcard arrives (hopefully tomorrow). Ordered a couple of cheap cases on ebay. Hopefully they'll be here my Christmas!
Today was a busy crazy day at work, with us down a few staff members, but it wasn't too bad. I am a bit worn out now though! -I am starting to get sick of constantly having to go along with being called Kelly, Callie, Kylie etc on the phones....I know after all these years I should just be used to it....but I think its just making my identity crisis worse! Plus if I hear the Charlie Sheen thing one more time I might SCREAM!!!!!!!

From Worse, To Not So Bad
So last week was bad. I mean it started out so good with the Rob Guest concert, but Tuesday was a bad day, and then well, Wednesday got worse. I ended up not working. After my ordeal with the car, was shaky and had a lot of trouble driving again at all. It's like I'm starting out on my own for the first time again. Plus I'm learning to drive a new car in a way, having only ever driven that one on short trips.
Thursday night Ness came up after work and we went to dinner at one of the cafes in Glen Waverley, then went to see Crazy Stupid Love at Century City. It was SOOO good!!!
I drove to her place after work on Friday - the first time I'd driven that car down there...plus its really busy traffic...I was kinda terrified the whole way. By the time I got there I was shaking a little...but that soon went away, and by the time I took the trip home, I was okay. -I think I've almost got my sea legs back now.
So anyways, back to Friday night....
We had fun. Vicky, Kay and Nick came and we got yummy chicken for dinner, and Vicky made a super yummy chocolate pie thing. Then Kay, Nick, Ness and I watched Iron Man, which was actually pretty entertaining.
Saturday I had pretty quiet day. I watched TV, cleaned out the car, did 3 loads of laundry. Went and got a movie from the Oovie box at Safeway and got Fish and Chips. Then I watched all my Friday tv -which I hadn't had time to watch yet, and some new shows. I borrowed Country Strong. It was really good and had great songs in it. I had been planning to watch a bunch of new hour length shows, but I was so sleepy by midnight that I didn't have the energy for the last show. I was in bed and half asleep before Mum and Nikki got home a bit after 1am!
Woke up earlier than expected on Sunday, but it wasn't THAT early, and there were things to do. It was Grandma's birthday and Mum was bringing her over for lunch. Mum made me bake a cake, she was cooking a roast. She went over and got Grandma and brought her back to our place. Neil, Marg, and Tracey came by for a bit, with their adorable puppy Dino. We had cake and then they left and we had our lunch. I showed Grandma my photos from last years trip, since she hadn't seen them yet. Then Mum took her back and I got organised to go out....I was all ready to leave, then couldn't find my keys anywhere...looked under cushions, in bags - everything. Had to wait till Mum got back to get the spare off her, and then I was on my way to Rock!!!!
Our seats were awesome...but when Regina came out and it wasn't Francine, we were crushed! Not that I don't LOVE all the others, but she's kinda my fave...and one I really wanted to meet at the stage door. The replacement girl was okay, but just not Francine. I've become very attached to my people. I thought overall the show was lacking something...I think they were just all worn out. But it was still a blast!!! We went to the stage door afterwards and got chat to a lot more of them this time, and got almost all the mains to sign our programs. We were going to get a hot drink afterwards...but nothing was open, so we went home. I was glad my ipod was working and let me rock out to the soundtrack on my way home.
I can't wait till the last show on November 6th..it's gonna be crazy! And also sad, I don't want it to go...I love it, and the cast too much! Oh well....I'll live I suppose....and there's always Sydney I guess. hah!

Rob Guest Endowment Concert 2011
Last night the newly returned Ness and I went to see this years Rob Guest Endowment concert at Her Majesty's Theatre in the city. I did a quick after work dinner/change/drive into the city and met Ness before the show.
Funnily enough since I was hanging out with her on Sunday, I spent more time with her, than I did at home in last 2 days.
The new kids were awesome and and some of our theatre faves were there to give AWESOME performances. I'd really missed Lucy Durack!!!!!
I had 3 faves to win, but then the other girl Ashlea Pyke knocked Don't Rain on My Parade out of the park! I really liked the guy who won - Blake Bowden. He did two great songs. Overall there were SO many good songs. Oh and we had the best seats! 3rd row on the aisle just to the right - right in front of the podium. So we got to be right in front of ALL the action! They gave us goodie bags with water and malteasers too!
The live action was a lot of fun. I would have LOVED to have Lucy's Glinda wand from Wicked....but unfortunately I didn't have a spare $3000. Everyone got so excited when it got over 2 grand.... and these 2 just kept pushing it higher! It was a long night - didn't get home till 11:30pm. But it was totally worth it. Got to see some great performances by my theatre faves - Lucy Durack, Francine Cain, Esther Hannaford, Rob Mills, and the cast of Rock of Ages...sans a few of the guys. But I was glad Samantha Hagen got to do some belting, as did Lincoln Hall!
Its totally a tradition, I'll keep going every year now!
