"almost paradise"

this title comes with two meanings behind it. the first meaning comes from the absolutely fantastic musical FOOTLOOSE, which my high school is putting on this year! this is my first time playing a lead character in a musical. my character is Vi Moore, the reverand's wife and ariel's mother. if you have seen the movie, she has a pretty small role, but in the play, Vi has two songs, one trio with Ethel and Ariel-learning to be silent, and one solo-can you find it in your heart. in addition to these songs, our director Mrs Swinney, decided to give me and the girl who plays Ethel an extra song. one of the girls that auditioned got cast as the lead singer in "cowboy bob's band" but she dropped out as soon as she saw the cast list because she didn't get the part of Rusty...ANYWAY, we needed someone to fill in her spot, so mrs swinney decided that she was going to dress mandy and i up in ridiculous disguises and throw us on stage as the two lead singers! AWESOME! so i difinately think that anyone who reads this should come and see the play! its April 2nd, 3rd and 4th at willow canyon high school. show times are 7:00 all three nights with a matinee on saturday at probably 2:00. tickets are $15 adults, and $10 students with ID/kids. i know it's a lot of money, but all of our plays are very professional and trust me, it will be worth it!!
the 2nd referance that the title held was to our future home. today, my dad and i went out looking at appartments and i fell in love with a complex right across the street from the surprise stadium, where the spring training games are held. yes the floorplan and price is exactly what we were looking for, but what really won me over was the residents. the lady that showed us around told us that some of the major league baseball players that are playing at the stadium actually LIVE at those appartments!! as soon as she said that, i told dad to sign the lease now! they are only there seasonally for training, but i would be in HEAVEN if i could lounge around at the pool, surrounded by professional baseball players cooling off from their big game. WOO HOO!!! "almost paradise!"
