May 2/06 - "imagine it's you: music was cued wrong to start so you walk on and then had to walk off again. that throws you a little off. then the dance begins and all of a sudden it hits you that you're dancing in front of an audience and your throat goes totally dry. like you're in a desert. but the dancing is going okay. THEN halfway through the dance you run off stage to grab your chairs (because there's a part where you use chairs) -- (i know you can't believe you missed this event) and you run out and your chair's not there!!! panic! what to do? what to do? then another girl grabs it from behind another curtain for you and you barely miss a beat...except the chair was turned the wrong way so when you go to open it, you can't get it open. but it gets worked out. now you're totally and completely thrown. you have a very serious look on your face as you concentrate but keep remembering you're supposed to be smiling. pop in the occasional big smile. serious look. smile. serious look. smile. it's coming to an end...big finish...strike pose one: oops, wrong arm. strike pose two: great. and done. run off stage and keep yourself from bursting into tears because you could have done it better but who cares because you're adults."

love, love, LOVE your blog, Bec. I aspire to post as much as you. Thanks for keep us so up to date on your life. Can't wait to hang out with you this weekend!!! YAY!
It is almost like I have been reading your blog right from the beginning, through the good times and the bad, instead of just being the anonymous no-comment reader for the last month and a bit. Thank you for the recap.
some good times....
Hi Rebecca!
I loved your "ode to Matt" song! I sang it in my head to the tune of "ode to Joy!" Poor you at your dance recital!You did a good job keeping your head high and not making it noticable that the chair was gone! You always have to keep smiling if somthing like that happens because the audience doesn't enjoy it as much when the dancers don't smile so way to show them! Wow! you wrote 100 times! High 5!!!!!!!!!!!love Sarah!
