A weekend of birthdays

March 1, 2009

It seems February is a good month to be born – and this weekend was a good time to celebrate them.  Saturday we had an amazing dinner to celebrate that my sister turning 30 and today I celebrated M’s grandmother turning 95!  It’s one heck of a spectrum, but it was really good to be there.

Happy Birthday to anyone else who is celebrating!

And the adventure begins.

October 26, 2006

There are 3 days left before my birthday. I am leaving at the crack of dawn to go to New York City with my lovely friends Sue, Lisa and Robby J. We are driving down and are going to have a HUGE adventure. I can’t wait. I can’t believe it’s actually happening. I’m going to be in NYC for the first time since I was in grade 11. I am going to see my friend Andrei. I am going to see Evil Dead The Musical on Broadway for my Birthday.

Wicked, awesome, cool.

Couldn’t be happier!

October 23, 2006

So it’s over and done, and it was a really great show. Wicked is definately worth seeing. I am so glad that I got a chance to go. In fact, I couldn’t be happier! :)

The night was just lovely. My friend and I went to dinner and then got coffee before heading over to the theatre. It was packed with excited people, and we were in a good section on the Mezzanine. And then it started, and it was great. The costumes and technical aspects were really good, and the cast did a phenomenal job. My only criticism is that it seemed a tad slow on the pick up, but once it got going, it really went. I was really impressed at how they took Gregory Maguire’s book and made it work onstage. I won’t go into too much detail about what happens, mostly because there are a few plot twists that are just worth waiting for. (It also explains why there is not summary in the CD cover). But yes – got see it!

Thanks again, friend. This was a truly great birthday gift.

More excitement!

October 20, 2006

I love it when life turns around and starts being good again. Really. This week has been much better. I went from feeling in the dregs to feeling on top of the heap. Woo! So, to add to the excitement of going to see Wicked TOMORROW, I also got an email last night from a good friend who lives in NYC. I emailed him in the desperate attempt to get his number so I can meet up with him next week when I’m going to be in town. He rarely checks his email, but I though I would try. Lo and behold a day later I got a response, and his number! Woo! And I also got a couple of lovely email recently from a friend who’s in Germany and I’m so glad we’ve gotten back in touch! Woo!

Plus, it’s FRIDAY and there are only 9 days to my birthday! Woo!

I can’t sit still.

The hermit emerges.

October 10, 2006

So, faithful readers, here are the lame excuses for being a bad writer these days. They are lame, but true.

1) I’ve been sick.
2) I’ve been really busy, at work especially.
3) I’ve been preoccupied with fixing up my house.

Side note, three weeks to my birthday, or 20 days, actually. Cool.
