This week has been a lot slower than last - because I couldn't move! I've spent the week recovering from damage to ligaments in my back from the final week of training for the show. CJ has so kindly put a pic in the Skating On Thin Ice Blog of me getting a painful massage in the final show.
I have to say it was worth it though, with the night being such a wonderful experience that I am honored to have been a part of. Disney tells such magical stories and getting to play a role in The Little Mermaid is something I'll never forget.
I did have a couple of tumbles during the final performance (thanks again CJ for publishing pics of me falling over!!), but the audience were very forgiving of us - the novice skaters.
More next week when i've recovered ;p

What a week!
wow I can't believe its only 1 more week until we go for our spots in Disney on Ice! I'm so nervous and really don't know if I will be ready in time, but I'm giving it my best shot!
One of you has made a comment on this blog that reminded me why I'm doing this.
If the kids from Canteen can get on with life when they have real problems to face, we can get over a few bumps and bruises.
Thank you so much for your support everyone. I am so lucky to have so much encouragement around me & I hope I can do you proud!!
As you saw on last nights show, we are now rehearsing for our roles - I'm hoping to master my role in Under The Sea - a scene from The Little Mermaid where I get lifted in the air by one of the Disney skaters. If you think it is scary learning to skate, I can tell you its scarier being held 2 metres above the ice with David and James practising their sword routine nearby!!
More soon!

Catch me on Kerrie-Ann?
This morning while we were training, we chatted with Kerrie-Ann from channel 9's morning show live. Deni Hines showed some of her amazing moves, already skating on one leg, while Vince Sorrenti and I did our best to skate in a straight line.
The show has been so much fun so far, and I am getting to know everyone through a problem we all share - sore bottoms!!!! I've fallen on my backside more times than I can count, but everyone tries to encourage each other.
Deni is by far the stand out talent so far, but this morning she fell fair on her bottom for, I think, the first time - much to Vince's amusement!! Like I said, we all try to encourage each other!!
More soon!
