...GO!!!!

"And the gun fired and the runners sprinted forward to begin the Marathon." (No that is not a quote, I just made it up) That's how yesterday felt, the beginning of a long month ahead. First all day rehearsal yesterday and it was a long day. Rehearsal started at 10am but I went up a little earlier to warm up, pop everything and generally wake up. We went until 3pm and then a couple girls and myself went to the mall to shop and eat for about 1.5hr. We came back and then had class from 5:30pm to 8:15pm, but I stayed a little longer so as to get pics of that freaky lift I already told you about. So I left the studio in Temecula at about 8:50pm and got home and crashed into bed at 10:15ish. Then I had rehearsal again this morning at 9am, so very crankily I got up at 6:30am and went up for rehearsal until 10:30. I often wonder why we dancers obviously love getting minimal sleep and waking up cranky. I was not awake this morning when I got to the studio so the first run through of flower waltz we did I had my left hand in the pocket of my pullover sweatshirt and my coffee in my right hand, marking everything cause that's what a run through is. Jose kept laughing at me and the other girls though it was rather funny too. Enough with the complaints, here are the pics of that lift I promised. Enjoy!!
