Can't think of a title

Yep...it's been a while again. Grr. I'm not happy with me.

What's been goin' on? Stuff. Exciting, no?

Today, I took the day off from work. Much needed. Even though I took a day off only about two weeks ago. And I'm looking forward to next week's two-day holiday. I won't go into my work stuff though.

Anyway...I got some stuff done today. Nothing too exciting. Cleaned out my car (much needed). I went grocery shopping to get supplies to make what I expect to be an amazing soup tomorrow (thanks to Iowa Girl Eats). And I put up my outdoor Christmas lights since it was so nice out. Now, before you head to the comment button, I'm not turning them on yet. That will wait until after Thanksgiving. I just figured it was good to take advantage of the warm weather and a day off to get that done.

Last weekend I went to see "Rent" at the Civic Center. It was kind of a last minute purchase, but I'm SO glad I did. It was amazing! I was front row. I was 10 feet from the actors. My first reaction when I sat down, was that I was too close and that I'd miss out on things. But then the show started and I had actual eye contact with many of the actors, including Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp (original Broadway cast members). It blew me away. So glad I bought that ticket. (And I may just have a bit of a crush on them.)

Of course, now I'm as obsessed with "Rent" as I am with "Wicked". I listen to the soundtrack all the time and even bought the DVD (I only WISH "Wicked" had a DVD I could buy).

Next up at the Civic Center..."Lion King". I haven't bought tickets yet, but I probably will. And should. Have wanted to see that show for a while.

Well, that's all for now. I'll try to be better at this blogging thing. I swear. (More for me than you 4 readers.) :) I need the "talking" time.

Edited to add: Holy Moly that soup is good!! If you like Chicken Tortilla Soup, make this.
