It’s Monday. Feels Like a Monday, Too.

Descanso Gardens

I hope all of the moms out there had a lovely Mother’s Day. Mine was pretty good, minus the end-of-the-day meltdown involving a train and plant.  It was a “are you kidding?” moment, for sure.

For lunch, I was craving a cheeseburger so that is what I had. Simple and good and exactly what I wanted. Then, we headed to Descanso Gardens. It was cloudy but nice and then we picked up taco fixings for dinner. I can’t complain.  I love to spend time outside. It clears my head and just gives me a much needed break.

Today though, I am seriously dragging. I’ve not been well for weeks and I struggle just to get through the day. What a bore. I am so ready for something different.

I am going to grab a cup of coffee and pray that its restorative properties are enough to sustain me because it’s Monday and not Friday and a girl’s gotta make the best of it. Right?

A Couple of Fun Things

The cast and crew of Little Shop of Horrors hit it out of the park this weekend with amazing performances. I laughed, I cried, and I got all emotional when the seniors took their bows.

The Teen was Seymour and many of his senior friends also had leads which made the show really special.

I was choked-up through most of the show. The Pantages reps that were judging for The Jerry Herman Awards had good things to say and seemed very impressed. I can’t wait to see who is nominated.

And then, when everything was over and done with, I got to meet one of my favorite bloggers, Athira from Reading on a Rainy Day! She was visiting her family and realized that I lived in the same town so we met for lunch! We talked about all kinds of things (family, kids, books, food, you name it). We had a great time!

Needless to say, it was a pretty awesome weekend.
