I survived! Today I had 6 classes with parents watching. It can be very fun, but it can also be a bit scary and even awkward. The classes with really teeny students is usually a really fun experience. Often, during classes with little ones there are many moments that I laugh on the inside at how cute and funny they are. When their parents are watching, there's lots of people to laugh with and I love how much fun they have!
On to next week.... it is going to be an adventure! I'm in Edmonton Festival Ballet and we have a tradition of doing 'Twas the Night Before Christmas every year. The shows are this week and I am going to be living at the theatre for 4 days! I just got the schedule for this week and it's going to be a doozy! On both Thursday and Friday I have to arrive at the theatre with my hair and make-up already done at 8:15am!! At least on the Thursday I should be done by 4pm, but on Friday I'm done at 8pm! It's going to be a long week but it will be very fun too! At least I will be spending time away from the school and somewhere new!
On a completely unrelated topic (my mind seems to be working that way today : D ) do you ever look through your kitchen trying to find something creative or new or interesting to make for supper and come up empy handed? I have been feeling so bored with cooking lately. We always buy the same food and make the same meals.While they taste good, I want something new and creative but still quick and fairly easy to make. Sometimes I wish I could have a zipper in my stomach so I could keep eating yummy food but not have to digest it, and sometimes I get so sick of food I wish I didn't have to eat at all. However, if someone out there reading this has a fave recipe that fits the above descriptions of what I want, please feel free to comment and share with a bored chef!

28 Days and Counting!
As you probably guessed by the title, today is exactly 28 days until Christmas Break! I am so excited to have over 2 weeks off! Don't get me wrong, I love ballet and I love school but I am in a very physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting program. I get 1 day off a week most weeks but some I get no days off, and it really adds up! I am so ready for a break!
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how tired I am) before it gets better it's going to get worse! Next week is our yearly Christmas show 'Twas The Night Before Christmas and I'm in it this year. That means that from Wednesday to Saturday I will be living at the theatre and the school and having to drive (uh oh) back and forth in the snowy weather we're having... and the roads are not in good condition. Oh well, at least it will be really fun! I love my costumes as Garland and a Sugar Plum (not really as the mother though since it's padded like crazy so that I have hips!) and it's exciting being in a show again!
First, though, I have to get through tomorrow! I teach from 10:15-5:30 and it's parent watch week. What more can I say? Tomorrow is going to be an adventure!
Well, it's almost time to make Easy Candied Popcorn with Brian! (http://amomnotapro.blogspot.ca/2011/09/easy-and-yummy-candied-popcorn.html) We're trying it out and seeing if it's as yummy as it sounds! And we might watch a movie or something. We haven't decided yet becuase I don't want to stay up too late because of teaching and it being parent watch week and all.
Keep following! You never know what's going to happen next in my life!
