Since I don't do much cooking for myself when I'm home alone I had a delicious dinner of sweet potato fries. There's nothing like sitting in front of the TV in your pajamas with a giant plate of fried carbohydrates. Delish!
Wednesday I had a great evening with my mother in law, sister in law and "girl friend in law." (Brother in law's girl friend) We had a fantastic dinner at Jimmy's on the Park before heading over to the Muny for Fiddler on the Roof.
My grandpa has some great season tickets to the Muny, but for some reason this was the only show that I went to see this whole summer. I had never seen Fiddler and really didn't know much about the story line. I have to say....I was a little disappointed. I'm sure the Muny did a great job with the production and everyone gave it great reviews, so I guess it's just that I wasn't really in love with the show itself. I did recognize a lot more of the songs than I thought I would, but when I see a musical something inside me yearns for great dancing and gaudy sequined costumes. This story takes place in a poor Russian village, so there wasn't much of either. When it was over I was kind of like...."that's it?!"
Thursday night was yet another late night out. (For a "school night" anyways.) We went to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at Verizon.
We saw him a two years ago and loved the show. This time my Mom and sisters wanted to go. It was fantastic. He's one of those performers who knows that his fans want to hear his old hits rather than whatever new stuff he's coming out with. (If he is even still writing songs...) He sounded great. The only bad thing about it was that I was stuck in the bathroom/beer line for "Free Falling" and my personal favorite, "Mary Janes Last Dance."
Whew! So now the weekend is here and I'm totally exhausted. Luckily we have pretty quiet weekend planned.
