Wicked Awesome

Hillary and I went to Wicked July 3rd. I LOVED it! I took work off on Friday so we'd be able to make it on time. We ran a little bit late leaving so we had to race a little bit faster than normal. It turns out we stressed over nothing because we got to the auditorium early and were even able to fit delicious Texas Roadhouse in. The only downer of the night is a crochety old woman told us to turn off Glee that we were watching on my iPod or else she would confiscate it. It was a bit retarded. We stepped outside while we waited for the show and watched it on the steps instead.

We got to sit on the 9th row and to the side. I thought our seats were great! Glinda's character was hilarious and spunky and SO likeable. We ended up not getting home until 2 in the morning and I was exhausted and crabby. I don't have any pictures of our cultured selves, but here's one of Glinda and Elphaba that performed in Tempe. If it comes to your city, GO SEE IT!

Kansas

I have repeatedly asked my sister Chelsea to email me the pictures I took while visitng my sister in Kansas. (I left my camera there on accident.) She has failed. Royally. I have been forced to use pictures that are not from that particular trip but from others. Here's a picture of me when Chelsea picked me up. I look a little frazzled because of the rushing through the airport and then a 3 hour flight with little air conditioning flowing through the plane.

Here's Chelsea and Ryan before we go out to a restuarant that has 1 dollar bills stuck to a wall. The weather was hot and humid. I definitley have Kansas off of my list of places to live.
Their dog Thunder was actually mellow this time. It made staying there much more enjoyable. Although, he did throw up on me one morning. That made me dry heave. Bleh.

Lawrence was pretty with a lot of pretty houses that I'm sure have a million stories to tell if they could. We went to a garage sale early on Friday and I snagged a free cake stand and Chelsea got some pretty good crap too! It was a nice relaxing trip that I was glad for.

Up, Up and Away!

I'm on my way to a better (hopefully) place! I was so worried that I wouldn't get to the airport on time. My flight was at 7pm so I was walking out of work at 5:03 thinking that I was doing great. I always make the wrong decisions when it come to getting to places and today was another one of those days. I decided to go on the streets instead of going on the 15 because of the 5pm traffic and got totally lost. I'm probably going to get a fever blister over this whole ordeal. It took me 45 min to go 5 miles!
Once I got to the parking lot I was dancing because I was waiting for the shuttle after hearing the horror stories from coworkers when they had to wait 20 minutes for it to come.
I went the wrong direction to check in so I ended up having to schlepp down the entire length of the airport. I also went in the wrong security check so I had to walk instead of take the shuttle. I was so tired after lugging my 49.5 pound bag around that I started to get envious of the obese people in the wheelchairs.
Now I'm here waiting patienly for my 30 min delayed flight to get here. Let the fun begin!

Fun Lil' Snippett

So last week I went to the dentist and 90 min later I am walking out without my teeth cleaned and with the news that my next visit is going to cost 2 thousand dollars. I need a deep cleaning and that alone is a thousand. They also came across as a used car place because they tried to upsell me. I had no idea dentists do that! Anyways, I was distraught because I really don't think my teeth are that bad. Luckily Hillary talked to her dentist friend and he said I could probably treat myself at home. I bought the biggest bottle of Listerine Walmart had and the toothpick/floss things and I've been using them religiously. A few days ago I'm getting ready for bed and am swishing the stinging moushwash around my chops and think, "I could wash my face while I'm doing the mouthwash." So I get my hands all soapy and put a hand on each cheek. Without even thinking I push in and the Listerine goes shooting out of my mouth. Good times.

GLEE

I love love love this show! Here's the preview for it. My favorite part is 3 minutes 28 seconds in.

I'm a sucker for a guy that can sing. I can't wait for fall!

So Hungry

I don't know how anorexic girls do it. I had lunch at 11:30, a banana at 1 and was ready to die of starvation by 6. The hunger was so distracting that I left work at 7 instead of 8 tonight just so I could get food. So kudos to you anorexics.

Gayness Awareness

New show on NBC: I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! This show is the reason why reality shows have a bad wrap.
