Last Work Day of Christmas

Well, in a short time I will get off from work and the offices will be closed until Monday January 4, 2010!
We had a nice Christmas party last week and then this morning my boss ordered in pastries and juice for breakfast for our team. Very nice!
I am going up to Nyack to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Mark and Eric and Mark's family. My 3rd Christmas with them. I'm looking forward to singing Christmas Carols and hearing Mark's father read "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Walking in a Winter Wonderland!
It's cold and we got some snow which is still on the ground so it will be a White Christmas.
I am going to meet Linda Lynn Witt and David Witt at the Neil Simon Theatre where they went to see RAGTIME. Hopefully I'll make it for the backstage tour.
A great Christmas because I have so many wonderful people in my life.
I am blessed!!
Merry Christmas and safe travels. Remember the true meaning of Christmas..the birth of Jesus Christ.
Love each other and be kind to one another. Live, love and learn!
Help and Hope!!

A Little Night Music CLICK HERE

Just got back from seeing "A Little Night Music" at the Walter Kerr theatre. WOW! I didn't remember this show being so DIRTY and SEXY! Angela Lansbury is a MASTER!!! She did her LIASONS number 10 feet from Eric and I. We had amazing seats, 3rd row stage left! House Right! Catherine Zeta Jones, though hoarse and not in the best voice, still nailed "Send in the Clowns" and broke my heart. She is BREATHTAKING. She reminded me of Vivien Leigh in TOVARICH!!! The rest of the cast is STELLAR! I was impressed with EVERYONE!
I admit I went not expecting much, but was blown away!!
So SO glad and lucky to have gotten to see this!!!

Decorating with Shorty CLICK HERE

Last night after work I met my friend and we had Chinese food, then went to his apartment to decorate his tree. I think we did a pretty good job! These pics are from my phone.
His dog Shorty helped too! Such a cutie! Ok, her, handsome dog!
We listened to Christmas music then watched some YouTube shorts for some laughs. CLICK THE TITLE ABOVE for our FAVORITE!! CHARLIE BIT ME!!
A good evening!!

Susan Boyle Again

Here is another shot from when I went to see/hear Susan sing on the Today Show at Rockefeller Center last month.
She is ROCKING the WORLD! Her CD is selling and making HISTORY...out of HER STORY!

So proud of her!!!

Haircut and Snowstorm

The statue of Dr. Norman Vincent Peale in front of Marble Collegiate





Well what a whirlwind of a weekend! Saturday I got my hair cut short and hair fell on the floor below the chair!
Later that day, snow fell from the sky and covered the ground below, well, everything. Some areas got 2 feet. We got 8-10 inches in my area. I still got up and went to church, which was lovely and wonderful! A winter wonderland and we sang "Away in the Manager" and "Angels We Have Heard on High".
Then I had a fun lunch with friends at Vynil! A great day!!

Up Down Show to Show

Here are some photos from this past weekend, the Holiday Show Cabaret! From the final Dress Rehearsal actually.


Here are the photos from the show in May 2009. Notice anything different?


The difference is...40 lbs! Do NOT let this happen again!!

A Little Night Music

I have tickets to see "A Little Night Music" Tuesday Dec. 22nd at 7PM. Can't wait! Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury!! Eric and I are going!

Hi Ho the Glamorous Life!!

Blogs vs Facebook

Lately I have been putting more time into my Facebook account instead of posting here. Sometimes I do double duty.

This past weekend I participated in a Holiday show. I sang "Too Many Rings Around Rosie" from the 1920's musical "No No Nanette". That was the first show I saw on Broadway back in 1972. The song went over well, with my double entendre winks getting laughs. I ended with Tony instead of Rosie.

For the group number we did a rewritten version of "Don't Stop Believing" but used the arrangement done in the TV show "Glee" and it was indeed a crowd pleaser. A good time was had by all with a lot of talented people sharing their craft.

I also dogsat Beau, so stayed in Midtown. It rained most of the weekend so I just rehearsed then went back to chase Beau around the apt. then watch TV. Cardio with Beau.

We have our group Christmas party tomorrow. At work. We had the company Christmas party last week but I didn't go as I was dogsitting and also helping a friend with a documentary film he's shooting for directing school at NYU. Kinda fun to be interviewed. Ah, well, very fun actually.

Next week is Christmas! I am going up to Nyack to spend Christmas Eve with Eric, Mark and Mark's family. My 3rd. I am looking forward to it.

Then I'll go down to VA for a few days to spend it with family. A good way to end the year!

AND the first DECADE of 2000's! Wow...soon to start the second decade...2010!

Time, does indeed fly by as you get older!

Donna and Susan Boyle CLICK HERE

Susan Boyle is on a roll! So happy for her. A TV special on Sunday night documents her rise and I couldn't be happier for her! Here she is all glammed up for her number "I Dreamed a Dream" with the London cast of "Les Miserables"!
This morning as I walked by the Neil Simon Theatre I saw this huge photo on the doors leading to the theatre. Go Donna!!!
