Busy!

Wow, it's been a pretty insane weekend. Friday we stayed in and sewed, because we needed to get Troy and Becca's costumes done for the dance party on Sat. Sat. we all were up at eight sewing and various activities until brunch, then Sandor came up and I helped him sew his costume until it was time to run down and help Dan teach lindy. Then I had my committee meet to set-up for the party, which we actually finished in an hour, and the decorations weren't half bad, if I do say so myself. Andrew got a couple people to help him make ghosts out of white trash bags, stuffed with newspaper, so we hung those all around, it was cute. And a good idea on his part. After we finished setting up, we went back to the office to ask Chris when we could get the grapes and things out of the fridge, and he asked me to come down and help him teach the lesson. Which was fine, it was a bit of a rush getting ready, and I couldn't help them work on their costumes at all, I felt kind of bad, but, I got down there, and we taught two-step, which was fun. And then the party started, and I had to run back to the office and get grapes and cremepuffs from the fridge because Andrew didn't get them. Silly boy. So, once I got the food I was free to dance, which I did. Leslie and Matt L. and Janel all came back, which was cool. It was really good to see them again! I had an awesome dance with Matt, and fun dancing lindy to waltz music with Dan. He's made it his mission to continue Jon's tradition of dancing lindy to everything. It was fun. I danced lindy to a quickstep with Andrew, but at least that's a swing. It was good stuff. Then, during one lindy, Andrew and Dan decided that they were going to change partners, and so Allison and I got switched between them the entire time, which was fun! And the next song, Dan and Andrew started dancing together, and then Allison and I decided we were going to dance together, and eventually we got boys to dance with us, but there was lots of partner trading going on in the song, which, I have to say, was really fun! I enjoy dancing with everyone! I never got to do an actual waltz though, which is sad. Oh well. It was still a fun party, and apparently the lindy looked really good. Our alums all said that it was awesome to watch, and we had done a really good job, which is very gratifying since PC and I had re-taught it, and everyone put in time outside of rehearsal mostly, to make it happen. It was a good night.
Oh, and our costumes, everyone was incredibly impressed with them. Because they're absolutely amazing. They finished theirs and got down just as the costume contest was starting, I was a little worried that they weren't going to make it, but they did, which was good. We lost to Lisa and Ethan, Andrew said it was because of the cute factor, but everyone was amazed. I think they did a wonderful job on them. I have a picture, we didn't go all out, because we had to perform, and we also wanted to save something for actual Halloween, so there will be lots more pictures then. The dresses are absolutely amazing.
In other things, I've been doing tons of work, and I ushered for the performance of Dracula today, I haven't been to see a ballet in so long, it was nice to see. Although I only stayed for the first half because I had work to get done. But, it was good, they had a couple very good dancers, and the chorus actually had a large part, which is unusual, and I appreciated, having been a chorus memeber in various shows far too many times. :)
Anyway, everyone's busy and stressed, but we're all making it through somehow. Sleep time!
