16 Again!

I am having an excellent time being a part of a fun cast of kiddos in Seussical the musical. I mean, there are lots O' folks my age and older, but there are also tons of teenagers and some kids. My great friend Robbie is in it with me and that is a blast! Anyway, last Friday night some of the cute "bird girls" from my show- they range in age from 15-22- wanted to have a slumber party. I offered to have it at my place since I'm super cool and don't live with parents...ha ha Anyway, it was seriously a blast! We ate, played DDR like nobody's business, did some Disney Scene It, watched Girl's Just Want to Have Fun...etc. You know! That stuff you did at slumber parties long ago! Some of the youngins had to leave before midnight because they weren't allowed to spend the night. BUT by 2:30a.m. there were five of us still awake and kickin' and planning on partying all night. My eyelids were dropping and my head was hurting and I thought...wait! I'm a night owl! What is this tired sensation? Surely it's due to a week of working hard and going to rehearsals and then getting about 5 hours of sleep a night...

...or I'm getting too old for this...

IT was just at this point, that we received a text message from one of the "monkey" boys in our show that told us to open the door and follow the bird seed...they had prepared a surprise for us. OH boy! Now, this is when I realized the insanity I had gotten myself into! Basically, about 3 minutes later I found myself at 27 years old running, screaming through my parking lot at 2:30a.m. with no bra on, dodging water balloons coming from all directions at amazing speeds, laughing so hard, scared to death I would pee my pants! I felt very youthful and invigorated! I loved it! (Robbie WAS a large part of this ambush). I have no pictures of the actual attack, but here are some from earlier that evening...




Yeah, that's Amy...she's adorable...and my fav...love her!
