Christmas Party

Richard, my musical theatre teacher had a Christmas party last night. He had made tons of homemade Italian food and I had too much red wine! There was artichokes, sausage and peppers, pesto rigatoni, and my favorite eggplant parmigiana. I walked into the party a little nervous because it was super crowded and I wasn't sure I would know anyone, but there were some people from my classes and it was a great time. I was not planning on being there all night, but Leah said that after eleven the Broadway actors start showing up- and who showed up but Karen Ziemba. I have never been to a party like this but it was a ton of fun. There were stars from times past too. I met a lot of people and I am so proud of myself- I carried about 10 business cards and handed everyone of them out. I'm not normally good at things like that, but I knew the party would be an opportunity to network. The best part of the party for me was as the crowd was filtering out a guy I had met (I don't remember his name- too much wine) played the piano and myself and two other women sang Christmas songs. Carols are one of my favorite things about Christmastime and I love to sing them at Mass on Christmas Eve with my family and then all the way home in the car. I'm not going home, so I was sure that I would be singing them to myself in the shower this year, but sitting around a live piano was fantastic! My kids will play piano...
