At last, a real vacation
My first long vacation in one year has finally started! Although I was technically on vacation today, I had to go into work for a little over an hour to take care of a couple important items that I didn't finish yesterday. This is my first vacation that spans a full week or more since my two week Rose Bowl/camping trip to Baja Mexico last year at this time with my brother and his wife. I tend to take a lot of 3 and 4 day weekend trips so that I can go more places. However, it's not as relaxing as a full week off, so this will be a much needed break from work.
I decided not to return to MI until Sunday when I got my plane ticket, but I wish I had made plans to leave tomorrow. There really isn't anything going on here this weekend. Some people are going to one of my favorite bars to see a really good cover band tonight, but I'm not sure if I'll join them yet. UNICorn is looking for people to watch Northern Iowa in the Div 1AA final tonight. I might just do that instead. I'll save my heavy drinking for next week with Mouse, Mpls Ju, and co. I'm excited to go back to MI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw the musical Wicked last night with some of my more "artsy-fartsy" friends here in CT (FlyingV, BuckeyeBoy, etc) at the Bushnell Theater. The travelling Broadway cast is in town for a few days. The musical was not as good as I expected it to be. The story is sort of a prequel to the Wizard of Oz and focuses on how the Wicked Witch of the West became wicked. She is actually the good character in the musical. While the Wicked Witch of the West had pipes (good singer), I was not really into most of the music or the singing of the other main character (The "Good Witch"). The one item I really got a laugh out of was the Wizard. You may remember the person who played this character from such roles as Steve Rhodes from Married...with Children. There was a time when that was one of my favorite TV shows. He played the part very well and was a pretty good singer.

for real. we could have gone and tried to scalp tickets to see my husband if you had come home a day earlier.
I feel as though I have a cold coming on. it's tragic. it doesn't matter. I will be drinking copious amounts of alcohol with you guys even if I'm sneezing all over the place in the process.
Mouse - you know I have never been to a Lions game before? It would have been an easy ticket this week too.
roopdogg, if I had your phone number, I would drunk dial you and yell at you for talking about how bucknell is ranked higher than our mighty Michigan. where the fuck is bucknell anyways?
gary, I was going to drunk dial you, but you were irritated the last time I called you. and I wasn't even drunk. boo to gary being irritated.
theroommate can't wait to watch mpls ju chug beer. it will be a fabulous time!
and for the record: I am a "hottie." just wanted to let y'all know.
(by the way, we are trying a new brand of wine tonight. and I have not drank in several weeks. it's fabulous, I highly recommend it. Red Truck (the brand))
