What Happened to Thursday?

Thursday flew right past me and I missed jumping over here to say hello. We had to make a Michael's trip for supplies to make more ornaments, I worked on the instruction sheet for the ornaments (just need to get it converted to a PDF) and then I wrapped up my day with a lovely evening at the theatre to see (The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz)
My hubby went all out for my birthday this year and got us box seats to see Wicked at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis. So while my parents watched the boys, we went and joined the world of culture. Boy did we! With the package my hubby had purchased, we parked right up behind The Fox in our assigned parking spot, went in the private members only Fox Club entrance and then had a yummy dinner at the Fox Club overlooking the grand staircase and elegant lobby area
After dinner we were escorted to our box seats (view from my seat when we were first seated)
Each box seated 8 people. There were plush chairs with 2 small tables - 4 chairs around each table. We lucked out and were seated with a really friendly couple who were around our age (very helpful when you are in close quarters with them for almost 3 hrs) who had recently moved to St. Louis from Austin, TX and the hubby had bought the tickets for his wife for Christmas. During the performance we were served by a waiter (ended up being the same one we had for dinner actually) with whatever we wished to order (and wanted to pay for of course ;)). We had a yummy brownie/ice cream/whipped cream dessert called a "volcano" during the Act II. MMmmmmm! The performance was outstanding!!! If you every get a chance to see "Wicked", GO! I only wished I had watched "The Wizard of Oz" again before going since it had been awhile since I had seen or read it. "Wicked" tells the story of Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West before Dorothy lands and Oz up through after Dorothy melts the wicked witch (or so that is what they say happens in "The Wizard of Oz" ;) ). It is a great story filled with humor/serious moments/love story, and it has outstanding music! I tried to take some pictures of the theatre with my little Cybershot, but as you can tell by the one I showed above, they didn't turn out very well. :( Made me wish I had went ahead and drug my Nikon D80 with me even though I couldn't take pictures during the performance. There are some great pictures on their web site though

Today will be another layed back day before we head back home some time tomorrow. The boys are downstairs right now playing with their grandpa which gives me some time to relax. Tonight we are going out to dinner with my parents, brother and his wife and son. I'm glad to get a chance to see them again before we head home since it might not be until my nephew's first birthday at the beginning of March when we get up here again.

Ok, I think I have completely bored you all for today now. I sure hope I haven't scared all the readers off because you won't want to miss next week! Next week we will get to know TSG Team member, Gill (MissChief) better. And I think she just might have some goodies to share from one of wonderful TSG designers. So you do NOT want to miss that!! Also, by next week the great challenges and crops will be starting back up for 2008. Man I can't believe there are only a few days left for 2007! So I bid you goodbye for now and I am off to finish up the ornament instruction sheet which I will share with you tomorrow.
