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.

Sunday Matters: Life in the Big City

Sunday Matters

The Teen is on a choir trip right now. He’s in New York City, living it up and having a great time. For a theater kid, this is heaven but since many of his choir friends are also in theatre, they are totally geeking out over the closeness of Broadway and how it’s literally right across the street from them.

For the record, they did not see Hamilton although they really, really wanted to. Nope, they just wanted to hang out by the door. I can see these kids on Broadway some day. I mean, look at them. They looks like stars.

Right Now:

Have you heard of Bulletproof Coffee? It’s a brand but you make it with butter from grass-fed cows. I haven’t purchased the coffee yet but the butter thing intrigued me. By adding butter and blending with hot coffee, you end up with a creamy, frothy coffee which is supposed to be more filling and better for you. No added sweetener, either. I am hooked on it. That is what I am drinking right now as we get ready for church.

This Week:

Work. No news on the work front. Yes, my boss quit but everything is up in the air right now. Not sure what to think, do or feel. I am so dramatic.

On another note, the Teen returns Tuesday night and then we have a short road trip planned. I can’t wait.

Reading:

I am currently reading Tuesday Nights in 1980 but I am almost done. Next up, The Library at Mount Char, if my review copy comes in time, or Stewart O’Nan’s new one, City of Secrets.

Watching:

What else? The Walking Dead’s finale is tonight and I am going to need therapy after this one. It’s supposed to be super-intense and everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is dreading the loss of a major character. I can’t take it. Not Glenn, and Not Daryl. Please.

Making:

Not a whole lot. Chicken with toasted walnuts over rice, tonight.

Grateful for:

These gorgeous days! Cool mornings, blue skies and sunny, warm afternoons.

Now it’s your turn. Tell me about your weekend.
