hi tender hearts
follow 2 of my castmates for more detailed blogs about what were up to! (i never was detail-oriented...)
this is tevy... one of the sweeties in my cast. sometimes we freak each other out because were so alike.
this is katie (our boss' nanny, who lives with us!), me, tevy, and maggie (my presh roomate!)
we went to schutzenfest last weekend. its kind of like those little carnival that appear in the mall parking lot... but they are a HUGE deal here and last for 3 days. each village had their own schutzenfest each summer. ours was right around the corner from our house!! we danced to a funny band, ate some bratwurst and had a ball!
oh ya... forgot to tell you i fell down the stairs. boo. it was really dark and i was in a hurry (for no reason). and i took a tumble ... down the stairs.... hard. and i was holding on to the railing... i thought railings were to keep you from falling? i'm not sure... maybe it slowed me down?
well besides my green ankle and some scrapes i'm just fine. my whole cast was walking down behind me and they all watched it happen and said it was scary! well it was scary for me too people!! i kept thinking "where is my head in relation to that concrete slab?? lets be honest, i'm useless if i have a concussion... ive done a show with a head injury before and it was not the best scenario. no head injury for me! win.
heres a view driving down the hill that the park is on, to the main road of the village. its magical.
once the park opens saturday everything will be easy-breezy! we have a big "cast party" of sorts that night including adult bevarages and steaks flown in from america! hoo-rah! were making lots of new friends (by "we" i mean maggie and i... these guys like blonde american girls i guess?) and learning "cheers" in german: "prost" and czech: "na zdravi".... and lots of other useful german words like: "guten morgen" and"hallo" .... take a guess as to what those 2 phrases mean! ive been pleasantly surprised at many of the similarities between the german and english languages. heres to being bi-lingual at the end of the summer! ha

rehearsals have almost come to a close!! the park opens this saturday, june 19th! i cant believe it. our show is just about ready! 26 minutes of "rockin all over the world":lots of costume changes, sweet dance moves, and NOT falling down the stairs backstage in the pitch black dark.

i think its finally spring!
having snuck over to my beloved H&M last weekend in indianapolis, im ready to don florals, shorts, and get a little crazy with my clothing combos. suprise, suprise.
heres something i LOVE but have not tried yet.... socks+high heels. i think its adorable....but notice how all three of these girls are asian. i think asians can pull off anything. is that racist? maybe. but its a compliment! so dont judge me. i wish i was asian sometimes. what with my white hightops, cupcake earrings and hello kitty hoodie, i sure do try...
heres a little video from H&M about their new "garden collection". so pretty!
some of the bright florals remind me of the upholstery that used to be on my grandparents patio furniture...which makes me like it even more
watch the video here!
also i mentioned shorts above.... here are some super cute ones:
*gap *urban outfitters *urban outfitters
annnnnnnd ROMPERS. they are the cutest. unfortunately i have the shortest torso in all of humankind so the ones ive tried on have been ill-fitting. but i admire from afar:
*bloomingdales *top shop *american apparel
next week i'm going to france to visit my friend sarah hart !!
i'm sure my world will be turned upside down and as a result, perhaps i will be a more elegant and chic dresser just like everyone in paris...

the other day....i fell up the stairs
after working the lunch shift i was ready to eat my self! id ordered my chicken salad and prepared it just the way i liked it. ranch on the side. poured a little soda+cranberry juice. headed up the stairs to meet my friend kirby who was waiting to eat with me out on the balcony area...
keep in mind that i walk up these stairs at LEAST 5 times a day at work....
one second i was happily trotting up the stairs, lunch in hand. the next second i was sprawled out, face down, on the landing of the stairs with my lunch all over me....
the salad survived somehow. but there was ranch ALL over my pants and sleeves and i thought all over my face. thankfully it was just the cranberry juice that had sloshed up to my forehead. when i looked over, the glass was sitting upright on the landing about halfway full though ....so i dont know how it flew onto my face...
somtimes when things like this happens, it goes in slow motion ya know? you see your foot slip and watch the floor as it gets closer and closer to your face....
NOT THIS TIME.
i think the universe skipped ahead 5 seconds.
right when i started to realize that i had fallen UP the stairs. i heard my coworker BOBBY (who deserves an entire entry himself. remind me later) say casually to the mexicans below in the kitchen 'there goes anna."
not "you okay?"
or "you alive?"
he was not one bit concerned.
i was concerned, however, about my knee caps that had slammed into the stairs. no big deal. i dont really need to walk ever again. its fine.
thankfully some of the more "boisterous" employees were not around, because they would have bolted up the stairs to take pictures and videos on their phone and laugh to their tiny hearts desires.
good thing i dont have them to remind me of my 5 minutes of klutz.
go ahead. laugh at me. i do.
