DAY OFF FOLLOWED BY EVENING REHEARSAL

Today some of the ladies (Mrs. GA, HI, ID, IL, & IN) headed to the Hyundai dealership to film TV promo spots, while the rest of us got to SLEEP IN! I had both the morning off (since I'd already filmed my TV spot interview), but some of the other ladies finished their interviews. I relaxed in my room, got organized, watched some morning television, and worked on making my earrings for my state costume (I'm gluing rhinestones on some cheap-o earrings I bought at Wal-Mart to match my state costume). We had a short meeting at noon followed by lunch, and then I had the afternoon off as well. I laid out by the pool until the rain clouds rolled in (yes, I said RAIN CLOUDS--it is monsoon season here--who knew?). We had rehearsal from 7-10 and our opening number dance really came together. It was a much needed day!
