....that's a WRAP!!!

Alice, I Think, season one, wrapped officially on Friday night. Our last day of shooting saw us shooting a promo spot for CTV - "Coming to CTV in January...", and then Dan Payne, Sarah-Jan Redman and I in period costumes to shoot scenes from the romance novel that John attempts to write. God - I LOVE wearing corsets!

On Saturday night we had our wrap party. I really dressed it up, thanks to Enid-Rae, in a strapless dress and 10-minute high heels. I also discovered that when I've had a little too much to drink I don't fall down, break things or barf anywhere - but I do karaoke like an idiot! I'm ashamed to say that I was up there FOUR times over the course of the evening...but people were dancing to it, so maybe it wasn't all that bad?

On Sunday I got a gang together and went to see Bruce's matinee performance of The Canada Show - the two act version, at the Waterfront Theatre. During the wrap up of the show Bruce came forward and said, "Well, we paid tribute to a lot of the cool chicks of Canada earlier in the show...but there's a chick in the audience today that I want to pay special tribute to..." Then he jumped down off the stage, made his way into the audience, pulled out a ring and asked me to marry him! I said YES, of course, because we've already been planning the wedding for over a month. It was a real surprise though. I didn't think I would cry but I did...as did many folks in the audience. Well done Horak!

It's hard to believe that my first "big gig" has already come to a close. The last 2 1/2 months have FLOWN by. It's been a real treat to work with such an amazing bunch of people - so many that I hardly touched on any of them over the course of my blogging. I also cannot believe the difference a job you love, with wonderful positive, supportive people makes. I feel like a different person and I am so grateful for having had this experience. I have fallen particularily in love with my TV family. Dan, Carlie and Connor and all amazing people that I count amounf friends now - not to mention a few of the other cast members too! I have been told that this experience has not been "typical" and that I've now been spoiled for future projects....

So - we have three pick-up days this week to get some of the coverage we missed out on over the shoot...Then home to Toronto! December will see Bruce and I painting our new apartment, hanging out and planning the wedding. January/February Bruce heads to Calgary for the High Performance Rodeo and I'm off to Guelph to do a little Chekov. I can hardly WAIT to do some theatre!

Chances are good that my blogging will slow down a bit once I'm home....Everday life seems a bit less sensational. Maybe that's a bad attitude to take though. I've had such adventures of late, and my friends back in Toronto really make me feel as though I live in a sit.com all the time...so, you never know. Stay tuned....
