Les Miserables

So after The Color Run we headed to a friend who lives in the city to get all nice and clean and ready for the show.  I was beyond excited to go to this!  I had been once before when we were in London, but I was so young I don't remember much of the actual show.  I was excited to go with family, I was excited this was a show the Hubs actually wanted to see and I didn't have to beg him to take me, and I was excited to hear the music because I LOVE this music!  I was just plain EXCITED!!


The pics with the hubs didn't work/didn't happen so I'm kinda bummed I don't have a picture with him, but he was there I promise.  

Here I am with my folks and my uncle ready to go in.
We had great seats, especially because the people sitting in front of me were little kids so I had a great view!  :)  It was just as wonderful as I was anticipating it would be.  The effects were especially awesome!  They did some awesome digital stuff that made a lot of the set much more realistic.  There was even a part where they were down in the sewer and they made their voices echo, it was all so cool!

If it didn't cost so much, I would so be there again this weekend!  But instead I'm playing the songs on the piano and singing my heart out which is something that is slightly frowned upon when you actually go to the show.  lol.  I'm having fun with that.  This music I haven't touched in years and I'm impressed by the muscle memory of my fingers, I am playing them much better then I expected since my piano skills are quite rusty at best.  Tomorrow I'm borrowing the CDs from my dad and will probably be listening to them non-stop for the next month or so.  I seriously LOVE THIS SHOW!  So glad we had the chance to go!

The entire day was perfect but I honestly think my favorite thing about the day was spending the ENTIRE day with the hubs.  Summer is his busy season and despite going on trips with him to Pismo or wherever, he was still up till 2 AM working every night.  So even though I am with him, I'm not really WITH him.  I miss that guy!  So having an entire day date with him was exactly what I needed!  Thanks to awesome friends who let us shower at their home and another awesome friend who literally had my children from sun up to sun down!  I owe you big time my friend!

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
