Thursday 3: The Show Must Go On

I love going to theatre, but I hate the high prices. Regardless, here are the last three live shows I went to see.

1. Phantom of the Opera – This was at the Pantages in Hollywood. It was a good performance, but not the best I’ve ever seen. I thought the woman playing Christine was a little weak. The man playing the Phantom was AWESOME.
2. Honk, Jr.- My son was in this play, put on by the Placerita Junior High Drama Club. It, too, was a musical. One of the female leads made me teary at the end when she was crying over the body of her daughter.
3. Wicked – It’s funny how some musicals can really ENTRANCE the majority of the people and leave me feeling meh. Wicked was one of those plays. Wasn’t all that thrilled with Cats or Les Miz either.

Thursday 3: Loving Gestures

Thursday 13 is too much. Here’s my Thursday 3 instead.

I thought I’d blog about three things my loving husband did for me recently.

1. He took me to the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show! It was so much fun. I came home with two gorgeous plants that I hope won’t die any time soon. I’ve managed to grow a flower stem on my one orchid, a feat here-to-fore never accomplished by me.

2. He brought me my warm fuzzy bathrobe yesterday morning when, still snuggled in bed, I mentioned that it was very cold in the bedroom.

3. He fixed the showerhead for me this morning when I said it had gone wonky on me.

What a guy! That’s why I love him.

Thursday 3: Aspirations

Thursday 13 is too much. Here’s my Thursday 3 instead.

We all dream of being something interesting when we grow up. Here are three possibilities I considered.

1. A model – I dreamed of being Phoebe Cates. I subscribed to Seventeen magazine and SO wanted to be her (even if I didn’t think she was a very good actress.) There’s not much call for short models, though.

2. Stewardess – Back when they called them stewardesses, too! I loved the trashy book Coffee, Tea, or Me! I wanted to live that jet-setter life, traveling, meeting rich men, and dig those boots! Unfortunately, I was too short for that, too. Have to be able to reach those overhead compartments, I suppose.

3. A Professional Figure Skater – Peggy Fleming (right) and Dorothy Hamill (wanted her hair, too) Ekaterina Gordeeva were so graceful. I, on the other hand, am not particularly athletic.

What did you want to be?

Thursday 3: $1000 Spree

The real meme is to do Thursday 13, a list of any 13 things you want. I only do three. Sue me.

If I had an extra thousand dollars to spend, here’s what I’d get:

1. The Wii game system ($250)

2. The Wii Fit ($100)

3. The Kindle 2 ($400)

I’d even have $250 left over.
