Ay ay ay....Can I die yet?

I know I keep saying that this was/is a long day and what not, but today was officially a long day! I went to the florist to help out Brooke with an order that she got for 50 center pieces and originally I told her I had to leave by 3:30pm. Then Kathi from TDC emailed everybody and warned us that there was going to be a parade going down Old Town and Front St, the main street, was going to be closed from 4pm to 10pm. Well the way I get to the studio I have to drive part of Front St and rehearsal started at 5:30pm, so I didn't know if the part that I drive was going to be closed as well or not. So I told Brooke that I had to be out of the shop by 2pm so I could rush home, hop in the shower, inhale some food and then get up to the studio 1.5hrs early so I wouldn't get blocked out. Jimmy wouldn't be very happy with me if that happened. So, that's what I did. I came home, showered, inhaled and Ricky Racered, some of you will know what that means, up to the studio to find that they were closing the road right past the intersection where I turn. In short, I didn't need to rush at all. So having PLENTY of time, I took Dani along and we went and got a starbucks and then came back to sew up her pointes shoes. Then the rehearsal commenced, on time and I filled in for the nutcracker doll, which was kinda fun cause I got to play a guy part. After rehearsal was all through with, I was going to leave but I looked out the window at the street and the traffic was backed up to Tahiti. So I hung out with some of the other dancers for a few at the studio waiting for the traffic to subside. It finally did not long after that so I left and got home at about 10pm. Hope to get a good night sleep tonight cause Jimmy wants a full costume, full hair, full makeup runthrough tomorrow, which seems really rather pointless to me but...whatever! Hope tomorrow goes smoothly.
