It's in the 30s and raining here, definitely Monday weather.  How's everyone doing?

    Weekend was nice.  Sort of nonstop, but all nice things.  The musical was fun, if late (we got home around 9:30 on Friday), Saturday's PT sesh was good but thankfully next week is my last one, and Benihana was delicious.  Yesterday straight after mass we visited one of my aunts who had a pacemaker surgery, it was just a quick pop in but she enjoyed the kids' cards and the fruit platter I made.  Then we saw Snow White which was really beautifully done, I definitely recommend it.  
    Fairly routine week ahead, hoping for smooth sailing.  One of my sisters just found out that her kids have lice, mine and hers were sitting next to each other at dinner Saturday night so I'm trying to bypass panic mode and go into action. 
  • So dreary and that always makes me tired!

    Get the tea tree shampoo and start sudsing!?   Good luck!!

    Weekend was BUSY.  It was high school musical weekend and they put on Freaky Friday.  Chiquita was Fletcher and she did SUCH a great job!  Playing a 10 yo boy with the inspiration here in the house she was able to draw from an easy source.  I absolutely loved it and there were times I was definitely choked up.  

    I wound up being the sub cantor for all 4 masses that have music so I was busy as well and spent yesterday afternoon after the show attempting to catch up on laundry and eating the last of the corned beef.  

    I still have mashed potatoes and I think I may try to turn them into gnocchi if they don't smell off as one last ditch way to salvage my fridge.

    @ei34, oh no! Hoping your kids stay lice free. I’m glad you liked Snow White, I’m seeing it tomorrow and they had a “bad” opening weekend. For Disney anyway.
    @banana468, I can only imagine the emotions a parent goes through seeing their kids up on stage.
    my weekend was good. Friday a few friends and I saw “waitress”. It was good. Long. I felt like it kinda glamorized infidelity, making it OK with no repercussions. There was a wedding scene and I was focusing on the wedding guests and even they were switching dance partners like it was nothing. Lol. Maybe it was just that small town? 
    Saturday I got some good finds at Marshalls and Ross so I was happy for that. My friend gave me a $25 gc for Christmas and I ended up with $140 more. Of course. Then about 7 of us went to a very cool restaurant to celebrate a birthday. I was home by 8:30 on a Saturday and it felt weird lol.  Sunday was veg out and facial day. 

  • I had a good weekend.  I took Friday off.  I just needed a break; I could tell I was burning out and actively didn't want to go to work in the morning.  I slept so much, read 2 books, watched some TV I wanted to catch up on, and basically lolly-gagged around.  It was perfect and needed.  I think I'm still catching up on the sleep deficit, b/c I still slept until 8:15 this morning, but I wasn't dragging myself out of bed, to the computer, so definitely a lot better.

    I'll go over to Mom's this evening, since I didn't go yesterday.  

    Otherwise, SSDD.  Found another rave, that is all the DJs from the late 90s, early 00s from around here, playing.  That one should be fun, so looking forward to that.  
  • @CharmedPam the other part is the plotline of the story.  I never watched Freaky Friday w/ Jamie Lee Curtiss and Lindsay Lohan but along w/ the premise of mother daughter body swapping is that the mom is widowed and engaged to be married and the 17 yo daughter never fully coped with the death of the father so she became an angsty teen acting out.  And the 10 yo brother grew up without the father figure because the dad passed when the kid was 3.  

    And so the sub plotlines of the story really pull at you when you think of kids growing up knowing their dad died and what kids go through.  Chiquita played the 10 yo who ran away after a tirade from big sister's voice about how parents lie to their kids and they never will realize their hopes and dreams.  Ultimately the entire thing is tied up in a nice bow at the end but there are definitely some feels.


  • Aw yeah. I forgot about that part. I loved that movie. It’s cute. There’s also a male version of it, where the son and father switch bodies. I think, and don’t quote me on this (which took longer to write than google it) Zak Efron is in it.
