I'm going to head to the gym and then I'll take you along with me to Costco.
00:00:04.780
So, I wanted to go over some of the menu with you guys.
00:00:06.900
I can't give you guys too much of an in-depth look in all these costumes, but they are gorgeous.
00:00:40.380
I have so many errands to run and I have so many projects that I'm working on.
00:00:47.260
I have rehearsal tonight, so I'm going to take you guys along for that.
00:00:50.940
I normally don't do my makeup first thing in the day because usually I go to the gym,
00:00:56.340
but I don't know that I'm going to have time later today to do this.
00:01:02.400
And also, I'm probably going right from the gym to do a bunch of errands and all that fun stuff.
00:01:10.240
So, I figured I would just do my makeup now, get it out of the way, say hello to my giant zit.
00:01:17.500
Guys, I just opened my library card and I am thoroughly enjoying it.
00:01:27.980
I'm listening to The Age of Innocence, although it only gives it to me for two weeks,
00:01:32.540
which I guess might be long enough, but for me it's like,
00:01:36.660
I have to run to the grocery store today because I am cooking for Shabbat, Sabbath.
00:01:45.680
I am having a bunch of people over, so I have to cook a big meal and I don't have a lot of the food at home.
00:01:55.800
Yeah, I think that's probably what we're going to do.
00:01:57.720
There's a new video going up today and I'm going to post that as well as my newsletter is going out today.
00:02:04.260
Well, for you guys it won't be today, but for me it's today.
00:02:09.640
And I'm also going to be writing a few articles for my new job with Evie magazine.
00:02:20.420
One of them is going to be about the new Taylor Swift documentary, so get ready for that.
00:02:25.200
I'm excited to take you guys through my morning routine a little bit today.
00:02:34.740
Lately, what I've been doing is I have been waking up, just going straight downstairs and praying,
00:02:41.340
and then I'll do a little bit of stretching, and then I'll go right to the gym.
00:02:46.000
So, I've been enjoying that sequence of events.
00:02:50.200
And then usually I don't eat breakfast until a little bit later in the day, depending on how I'm feeling.
00:02:57.720
Oh my gosh, I really have opera stuck in my head right now.
00:03:03.080
I put some opera in my Insta stories while I was doing the laundry, and now I can't get it out of my head.
00:03:12.120
And, yeah, that's in my head right now while I'm doing my eyebrows.
00:03:20.760
So, funny thing, I was planning on doing just a fully cream makeup look today because, I don't know, I've been really liking that.
00:03:30.860
Especially in the winter, it's nice when you have dry skin.
00:03:33.240
It just kind of makes your skin still look fresh and glowy.
00:03:35.760
But, because I got this big honker of a zit on my cheek, I don't want to be pulling around creams to try and blend them out because I'm pretty sure that'll lift up the concealer.
00:03:45.740
So, I am just going to go in with my powders today.
00:03:48.960
So, the opera opens in about a week, and I'm really excited for everybody to see it.
00:04:00.080
I actually know one of the singers from We Work Together in Opera Maine, so that was really fun.
00:04:09.620
There are a bunch of other people who are just fantastic.
00:04:12.280
And the whole thing is, it's a comedy, so it's really, really funny.
00:04:16.720
But the staging, the sets, the costumes, it's all gorgeous.
00:04:22.220
And, of course, I'll be there, cigarette girl, for your cigarette needs.
00:04:27.060
My costume is so much fun, and I'm really excited to wear it on stage with everyone else.
00:04:33.080
So, I'm just going to finish up here, and we'll chat later.
00:04:42.280
So, I just wanted to briefly pause and mention this new candle.
00:05:05.880
It smells so good, and my husband loves it, and we burned it when we had friends over for
00:05:36.080
So, now I'm going to head to the gym, and then I'll take you along.
00:05:40.920
So, I just finished working out, and now I'm at Costco.
00:05:45.160
So, hopefully, we can pick up everything I need on my list to cook for Shabbat.
00:06:02.980
I am hiding in an aisle because I've never vlogged in public before.
00:06:10.820
So, this wasn't originally on the list, but we always need wine because it's hard to find
00:06:15.240
kosher wine out here in Nebraska, and we're having guests.
00:06:22.360
So, little-known fact is that on a lot of packaged foods, we have kosher symbols to help us figure
00:06:41.220
So, I'm going to show you one on a package right now.
00:06:43.440
So, as you can see on this package right here, it has an OEA, which means Orthodox Union,
00:07:13.440
So, most of the groceries are unpacked, but now I have to sit down and do some work.
00:07:35.860
I had a little costume change, but I wanted to get out of my sweaty workout clothes, and
00:07:41.560
now I'm going to be doing some writing and also some posting on social media about my
00:07:48.060
new video, which you guys should check out, Busting Five Opera Myths.
00:07:52.300
So, I'm done with all of my work on the computer.
00:08:06.540
It took a while, but I got my newsletter out, and what else did I do?
00:08:16.240
I posted on socials, and I worked on some articles.
00:08:21.620
But now, I'm going to be cooking for Shabbos, so I wanted to go over some of the menu with
00:08:27.300
So, my plan is to make pea soup, chicken, and it's going to be like salsa, mushrooms,
00:08:32.980
and spinach, sweet and sour meatballs, salad, rice, and a fruit sorbet.
00:08:39.980
So, let's see if I can get all of this done in two hours, because I have to, and then we'll
00:08:46.460
see what I can get done for the rest of the day before I have rehearsal.
00:09:23.740
It was a little bit stressful to get everything done.
00:09:26.120
I thought I timed it better today, but still hard trying to get everything done.
00:09:31.440
Quite a menu, so if you want to take a look at what's on the stove.
00:09:35.620
Here's what we've got boiling on the stove, and we've got my pea soup in the back, and
00:09:41.500
here are the sweet and sour meatballs, kind of exploding, but it needs to be that way
00:09:58.600
Maestro, when we are set, I would love to take it from measure 95, please, in number
00:10:09.280
Okay guys, I know I'm in the dark, but I'm backstage, and we are waiting to go onto the
00:10:15.600
stage to do some staging and deal with the teching and the lights and all of that, but
00:10:21.120
I just wanted to tell you that we're in rehearsal and things are going well.
00:10:45.240
So folks will be delighted if it's going right because they do so, but, but I hope we're
00:11:25.160
You can hear the stage director over the PA system.
00:11:33.160
Some really wonderful people volunteer to give us food.
00:12:06.160
As you can see we've got the lights off right now.
00:12:19.160
I can't give you guys too much of an in depth look at all these costumes.
00:12:28.160
I wanted to be in a little bit of a shorter skirt actually.
00:12:33.160
Because I'm wearing a short skirt for the production.
00:12:40.160
This is where we all hang out during rehearsal.
00:12:53.160
I ended up having way more to do than I thought I would.
00:13:00.160
And I'm excited for you guys to see what we're doing here.
