Yesterday was a pretty good day. I went clothes shopping for the first time since I've started losing weight. I was able to get some smaller shirts & jeans, but the kicker was that I was able to get a size of skirt that I haven't worn in about 14 years, not since I was in high school. Man, it was a trip! And I bought my first ever denim mini-skirt. I plan on wearing it when I go to St. Louis in 4 weeks.
That trip is going to be awesome! Four weeks from today, I'm going to St. Louis to see Mary Poppins at the Fox Theater. I love the Fox; it's one of the most beautiful old theaters I've ever been in. It's wonderful enough that I'm going to see the national tour of Mary Poppins, but the cast is unbelievable. Gavin Lee & Ashley Brown are reprising their roles of Bert & Mary in the national tour. They both opened the show on Broadway, and Gavin is the original, original Bert from the first production in London. I'm most excited about seeing him as I've heard that he's a sight to behold. My first time seeing actual Broadway performers. Well, I guess not really because I saw Kim Crosby here in Springfield a few years ago in My Fair Lady. She was the original Cinderella in Into the Woods, and she's from the Springfield, MO area, so Springfield Little Theatre got her to come and do a run of My Fair Lady about 10 years ago. But to see really big name stars will be a first for me. :-)
And then last night, we recorded the podcast, and it was an utter blast, as usual. :-) I love all these gals. They always make me laugh and make me think about things in Jackie's movies & performances that I hadn't noticed before. <3
Tomorrow, I'm going to get in my workout and then get some writing done. I'm not sure which story I'm going to work on first, but I'm determined to get something done. I can't just sit here and talk about it; I have to actually do it.
I have a feeling I'm going to the doctor next week. I've been fighting what I think is a kidney infection for a few days now, and I've been having a lot of them lately. If it's still bugging me on Monday, I'll have to call the doctor and make an appointment. I've been trying to self-medicate it with cranberry juice & cranberry pills, along with staying away from tea, but it's not really working now. :-/ Hope it's just an infection and not something serious.
