This summer my mom's, cousin's friend came up from New York. She came up because she was in a production of Shrek the Musical at the 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle, WA. We were priveledged enough for her to give us 6 tickets to the show. So, on Wednesday we drove down to Seattle around 4:00. We ate dinner and then went down to the theater for the production...it started at 8:00 pm. It was so good. Everyone was great. Danette (my mom's, cousin's friend) played multiple parts. She was the magic mirror assistant, flutterbell (a fairy), one of the dancing toys and she had other dancing roles too. The only bad part of the production was that it was 3 hours long. Most of us were fine with the length of the play but Jackson started to get tired towards the end. The cool part was that we saw the production before anyone else did. So we probably saw a lot of stuff that won't be incorporated into the final production. We stayed in a hotel because the next day I was scheduled to go stay with Danette and work as her nanny for three days and then come back on September 1st.
So, the next day we drove down there and met Danette at about 10:00 am. She lives in an appartment in Seattle. I get my own room and bathroom. I have to babysit her daughter, Ellery, from about 12:30 pm until midnight. She has rehearsal from 1-6 and then a production every night from 8 until 11 and then they have notes after. The baby is really good though. Since Danette is in the production I've been able to meet some cool people. I met the wicked witch from the play and I met one of the "dressers" from the play when I walked up to the theater today. It was cool. Fiona from the play apparently lives here too but I haven't met her yet. Hopefully I will. I've only been here 1 1/2 days. I have 1 more day until I go home and then I come back on September 1st for about 2 weeks. I'm really excited that I have this job. And I start another job on Monday as a desk assistant at the school the my mom works at. This should be exciting. I'm really excited to have some money...FINALLY!!!

Wow, sounds cool, Ky. Which of your mom's cousin's is Danette's friend? I loved being a nanny in Scarsdale, New York when I was 17, and it was during the 1984 summer olympics. I hope you are enjoying the experience.
Danette is Amy's friend. She is from New York but she has been down here since June or July for the performance. I'm really enjoying the experience.
