What Have I Gotten Myself Into?

I have decided to venture back into the blogging world! I know that many of you have missed the absence of my blog, but now you can once again be enlightened by my thoughts.

I recently turned 26 which was sort of hard, but not as difficult as turning 25 last year. Anyway, our church puts on this big Christmas production each year called the Living Christmas Tree. As some of you know I majored in theater when I was in college and haven't really done anything since then (production-wise that is), so I decided to contact the person in charge of the dancers and other groups to see if there might be a spot for me in the big production. Well, it turns out that there was a part in the opening number where I get to do some choreography and dance with fake hand bells. I was very content with this although I thought it would have been pretty fun to be one of the main dancers. Well, yesterday I got my "wish" I not only get to be in the opener, but I also get to be in the other Stomp type number. If you are unfamiliar with Stomp, it's a musical play that incorporates banging on trashcans as drums and other things. I have a part where I get to hold a fake tambourine, in this Stomp-type number, which to the average eye would not seem to difficult. Not until halfway through do you see my true exhaustion and the fact that I am not a hip hop dancer, nor will I ever be. I have to participate in a dance that is so fast I look absolutely ridiculous at this point every time we do it. I am so tired after this dance I actually could barely control the shaking of my body when the entire dance number was over. I figured out that every other person doing this dance is the average age of 21 years. 5 years ago I could have done this and been energetic about it, not so much now. If you don't hear from me in the next few weeks it will be due to the fact that I fell down dead on stage during the dance number from hell! I'm gonna go soak my feet now.
