This weekend was both fun and productive. The productive included shampooing the living room/dining room carpet and updating the resume.

The fun:

• Drinks with the girls on Thursday. Saw several people I have not seen for a while. Afterwards a few of us went and saw Precious. Excellent, well acted, very depressing movie.


• Dinner and drinks with the ladies on Friday. We ended up switching from our planned venue. When I walked in (at 5PM on a Friday) I was told, “The wine bar won’t open for another 30-45 minutes. You’re welcome to stay and wait.” Hmm. I’m in the middle of Carytown. There are bars/restaurants all over the place, and they are ready to serve wine at what is traditionally considered happy hour. I think no on the waiting, thankyouverymuch.


• Saturday MJ and I went to see Wicked. Loved. It. So amazing. And you will never convince me that the part of Galinda/Glinda was not written with Kristin Chenoweth in mind. (Note: she is clearly not in the touring production. She is featured on the soundtrack.) I loved it so much that I didn’t even kick the woman in front of me who kept moving her head every time I finally found a position in which I could see around her.


• Sunday was low-key. Cleaning, hanging out with PB. Made this for dinner. Easy and yummy. I recommend.
