• Today, at my parents' house, Trent 'found' a night-night.  My dad caved and let him have it for a little while.  I haven't been that angry at my parents since I was a teenager (sorry again, Mom, for yelling at you!).
• Speaking of being a teenager, my face didn't get the memo that I'm in my 30s.  Pepperonis on the face is not cool.
• I realized I left out an ingredient from the salsa chicken recipe (can of cream of chicken soup).  I updated that post but wanted to point it out just in case anyone was going to make it (and you totally should).
• I've been working on Trent's birthday party invitation.  
• How is my child almost 3?!?!
• I have a work deadline on 6/29, and T's party will be 6/30.  Um, that timing stinks for party prep.  I might have to beg the FMIL to help!
• My mom gave me a sequel to Pride and Prejudice.  I started it yesterday, so far, so good!
• We had book club last week (book review to come soon), and out of the 4 hours we were together, we talked about the book for, oh, 15 minutes.  {grin}
• I plan to do a Project 52 update at the end of the month.  Probably should be more accurately called a 'lack of update'.  Oh well, at least it's for a good cause.  Right now I'm thinking 25 look realistic at this point...
• I still need to pay my 2011 Project 52 bill.  Eek!

Broadway Across America: Les Miserables

Last night was our last play of the season.  Amazingly, no one in our group has seen Les Miserables before, which I found surprising given its popularity.

Plot: Les Miserables is about the lives and interactions of French characters over a 20 year period in the early 19th century.  {I know that's kind of vague, but it's that or a 10 paragraph synopsis!}


Review: I would say overall I enjoyed Les Mis, and it's probably my favorite of the season.  The music and singing were just amazing and the plot was enjoyable.  With that said, though, my mother-in-law summarized it perfectly when she said, "I like a little more play and a little less musical."  They.sang.the.entire.time.  It got a little weary because it's impossible to understand everything when it is being sung 100% of the time.


We won't be getting season tickets next year, but there's probably 1 or 2 we'll go to.  So with that...the end!
