Starting the morning off enjoying a yummy breakfast with my handsome fiance! His: waffles with peanut butter and fruit on top. Hers: oatmeal with fruit mixed in and a huge glob of peanut butter on top. I could eat a whole jar...

Walking a half mile to the subway station. At least it's beautiful here in the historic district of Jackson Heights! A tree? Yes, please!

Why hello, Jack and Bres! Everyday we walk through this famous alley to get to the stage door. If you squint...a lot... you can see signatures of all the people involved in shows prior to ours. So much history in this theater!

We walk in and greet Joe, our doorman, who keeps us safe from invaders.

The sign-in sheet! If you don't sign in, Thom Gates (our stage manager) will call you out at the Half Hour announcement and embarrass you... just sayin. I've been there and I am still blushing :)

Our wonderful stage management team! They seriously rock. Thom, Tim and Bryan. Our only girl ASM, Becky, was out this afternoon, but she and I stick together. Ya gotta in a theater filled with boys!
