Enchanted, Santa Claus, and interviews

Jerome and I saw Enchanted last night and it was worth every penny. (well, we got in on free passes, but had we paid $7.75 for our tickets it would have been worth the admission.) I am in LOVE with that movie and its soundtrack. Stephen Schwartz, who did the music to Wicked teamed up with Alan Menken to do it (they also teamed for The Little Mermaid). AMAZING. FANTASTIC. ANd every other word you can think of that mean "great." It's not your typical Disney princess movie (obviously), and there's humor in it for everyone to enjoy. PLUS, Idina Menzel is in it (even though not a whole lot) which right there makes it awesome (too bad she doesn't sing...)

I just finished reading The Autobiography of Santa Claus by Jeff Guinn. It was FANTASTIC. It was simply written and he took every aspect of the St. Nick/Father CHristmas/Santa Claus myths and explained where they came from. Whether it's completely true or not I'm not sure, but it was definitely wonderful story.

I had my interview with Brooke for the summer today. She's so awesome, really interested in hearing our ideas about how to make camp better not only for the girls but for the staff as well. I lost it a little when she asked me what advice I would give new staff members; I said make the girls feel at home and like they are loved and more than welcome because that is what really drew me in 15 (!!!) years ago. Camp has been kind to me and really helped me grow into who I am today and I'm sad that that chapter of my life is coming to a close. But I'm pretty much guaranteed to get my position (duh, who else would they hire?).

This weekend is a busy one... Sitting tomorrow, rehearsal Sat. morning, camp sleepover on Saturday, and performance on Sunday. Not to mention Christmas Eve/Day next week. Merry Christmas!!<
