Today is my last day of work at the best job I've ever had.  I'ma miss this place.

At the Museum of Natural History, the Boy makes a new acquaintance and seems puzzled by his offers of friendship.

This is a real building in Washington D.C.  I think I like this town.

My boyfriend tells me this should be my thing of the day.  So it is.  He's very proud of his wrapping skills.

Sometimes, we have friends.  And they come visit us.  This is such a gentleman, and I adore him.

My last Saturday Farmer's Market in my old town.  I'm really going to miss this place.

July 22nd, 2011

Opening Night!  A fabulous success.  I was bouncing and giggling in the audience like a daft three year old.   Seeing items you've spent dozens of hours working on in the space of a week onstage is just a thrill ride.

Crafted this wand in theatre tech class a few years back.  I mentioned I'm a nerd, right?

The Zombie of Zombie Prom  just discovered that he has a prop with his face on it.

Some of the props I've made for the show.  These are booths for a school festival used at the very top of the show.

Going into Hell Week, the final week before a show opens, for the show I've been prop designing, Zombie Prom.  Here we see some amazingly talented kids heading into the play's climax.  With song.  Aw yeah.

And now for a secret: I adore pretty clothes and shopping for them. And pieces like this, that I'd honestly just buy because of how beautiful they are?  Screw the stigma, give me the corset!

Meanwhile at work, Christmas in July is in full swing...

Harry Potter 7 Midnight Premiere!  Featuring my skeptical boyfriend and my placidly amused best friend, Professor Snape.

And here, some of the ones who made the fall amazing and this trip worth any price.  Conservatory bros forever, yo.

And here the theatre where we did our final performance, now packed for professional productions.

Nothing like familiar places - the theatre that acted as classroom and rehearsal space for so many months.

And now, time for a mini-vacation!  I'm going back to my Massachusetts second home where I spent all last fall to hang out with my old friends and see a bunch of Shakespeare.  As evidenced by the above tickets.  Here's the spread: My favorite show, my least favorite show, and the only that always surprises me.  Can't wait.

Nothing says friendship like attempts at casual humiliation.

As much as I love theatre, musicals aren't usually my thing.  However, seeing the closing show of the local musical theatre festival's My Fair Lady definitely is.  (It's one of my favorites.)
