too late to stop now
I haven't told that many people about yesterday save you lot reading and my mom but the outpouring of sympathy is greatly appreciated. Just knowing that people out there care really helps a lot. And some of you have your own fish to fry right now, too, so know that all the positive vibes are reciprocated. Happy thoughts!
Given recent events, I probably wouldn't have gone to see Mama Mia if I hadn't already purchased the tickets before Christmas but it turned out to be just the entertaining distraction I needed. How could 22 ABBA songs strung together to make a musical fail to make one smile? When one of the characters uttered the line, "I don't wanna talk ..." I turned to Melissa: "Uh, oh - I think I smell another ABBA song coming on ...". She enjoyed it, too, but was disappointed that "Fernando" didn't somehow work its way into the storyline. No big surprise that "Dancing Queen" was probably my favorite. Unfortunately, Amy and her husband were sick so her parents used the tickets in her place but it was nice to meet them.
Afterwards we dined at M's Pub where I very wisely made reservations since it was all booked up. I treated myself to half a thai lahvosh, two glasses of reisling, a cucumber sandwich, and a slice of rum drenched pound cake for dessert. Going out always feels special to me but especially to M's, one of my favorite local places. Melissa told me that Sarah Benck and the Robbers will be one of the featured performers at the Summer Arts Festival in June so that's something to look forward to. My calendar is already filling up and I intend to keep it that way.
There are so many feelings and ideas rattling around in my head but I don't think I'm going to get to all of them tonight.
