oh what a nite

friday - i took the day off to pick Addie up from the airport. picked her up around noon and grabbed some lunch. it was nasty ugly rainy foggy weather so we went back to the house, took naps, then made my chicken chipotle soup for dinner. i'm so eating that tonite.

we tried to plan a nite of Taboo, but no one wanted to get out in the nasty weather. we ended up going to bed pretty early. didn't even watch movies. we were actually too lazy to go upstairs and watch one. she needed to catch up on rest anyway.

p.s. i got my new phone!!! yaaayyyy!!!

saturday - when we got up i wanted to get my numbers switched over. apparently, i'm the last one to jump on the bandwagon of wireless backup or whatever. had i been subscribed i could have done this straight from my phone. don't freak, hubby. it's free. that trip ended up being longer than ever needed. ask BA, he had fun.

Addie had a Best Buy gift card burning a hole in her pocket so we did that. she got some portable speakers and the world is now a better place. after lunch, we realized it turned out to be a really beautiful day and we would be total losers if we didn't at least try to get down to the island for Mardi Gras. BA made us shower when he got to the house and put us in gear.

i knew it was free to get on The Strand this year but i didn't realize it was going to be so lame. no entertainment at all. no cowboy mouth. no jesse dayton. seriously??? we went down to the seawall for the evening parade but left before it started to meet HM downtown. we headed into a couple of bars and good god, man! there was just nothing happening. which, all well and good with me cuz i am the party. j/k! i was thinking more people would be down there after the parade... not so much. it was just kinda, eh. so much for getting off our butts to do something with the beautiful day.

sunday - my favorite part of the whole weekend!! OMG! Jersey Boys was so AMAZING! the show was frikkin' phenomenal!! it was awesome! can ya tell i really liked it? we had so much fun at the show. mom thot it was just about the best thing she had ever seen. she loved it! S1 sang a wee bit loud and i'm sure we all annoyed everyone sitting around us. thank goodness we were in the back row cuz we were dancing like some crazy fools! seriously. i'm so not kidding about that. i turned around at one point and the light/sound guys were laughing at us. well, not laughing at us, but more enjoying the fact that we were enjoying it so much. at least that's what i like to think.

afterwards, we took some retarded pictures by the stand up poster. we got mom a cd and then she went back for a booklet of Franki Valli and The Four Seasons. i believe she and S1 will both be going back for more musicals. which is good, cuz now i don't have to wait for Addie to come in town all the time!


a big THANK YOU to Addie for purchasing all the tickets in advance to make the day possible.
