Hello there, fellow workers!
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Mine has consisted of work and performing! Let me go back a step to my last post. I mentioned that things started getting crazy for me when I started "work", but I failed to mention where I work! I am currently working as front of house for the Palace Theatre, home of Singin' In the Rain! I am also currently in an Off- West End production of One Touch of Venus. So that's what I have been spending most of my time doing!
Christmas peppers and Crabbies.
Now - stepping back in time.
This Christmas (
as I mentioned here) was my first Christmas away from home. I was pretty terrified. I just couldn't imagine a Christmas away from home, away from my family and our traditions. But luckily I met the loveliest Scottish girl named, Sam. She is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. After only working with Sam for a week, she invited me over to hers for "Orphans Day", aka Christmas. She invited myself and a few other of her orphan friends over for the big day and I am very proud to say, we did very well. The day went off without a hitch, regardless if feeling slightly fragile from the amount of Christmas Eve margaritas!

I am just so thankful for this Christmas and my new friends.
