She'll be spending the weekend with me and we're going to paint NYC pink!  Hey, I LIKE pink!

She's arriving on Friday July 18 and I'm going to meet her at the train station on my way home from work and she's leaving Monday, July 21 and I'll drop her off on my way to work.

Here's our current schedule:

8pm - Xanadu - onstage seating

Sunday, July 20

Being on stage for Xanadu sounds interesting. Are there any other plays that have this option that you know of? It's a way to save money! I hope you have loads of fun on this weekend of plays!

Where did Andrommyta go did not even noticew she was gone?

Wow that sounds like a great weekend! Have you seen Xanadu? I'm interested to hear more about that show. The movie was so bad......LOL

---

Oooooh Xanadu! I have to say that I am in love with Cheyenne Jackson's voice-----I just listened to the CD this morning, and he is AMAZING---one of the best male voices I've heard. I would love to see that show in person!!!!!!!! He makes me crazy, he is soooooooooooooo talented!!!!!!!

I would like to see the show just to see how they made an utterly ridiculous movie into a good broadway show!

I saw one scene on I think the Today show? And I didn't like the girl's voice at all.

You mean, how did they make the Broadway show into a movie? The show was first and then came the movie. It has been revived twice and this is the second revivial. The play is different than the movie.

Have a great time Andrommyta and Eris!

I'd love to see the show and/or the movie. ELO's music is sprinkled throughout my iPod.

Eris, I hope you and your friend have a wonderful time. You certainly have a lot packed into the weekend plans. Sounds fun, but exhausting!

I had no idea it was a stage production first...........thanks for the info.

You know what, I don't actually know that I've seen the whole thing straight through, so maybe I spoke out of turn. It's one of those movies I've only seen bits and pieces of here and there.

They made it up as they went along? That's funny!

OK, now I need to rent the DVD.

If you're looking for a movie where you can kick you feet up and just not think for a few hours then Xanadu is the way to go.

That sounds like a plan!

I didn't realize you were waiting for a reply. I don't know what we're doing yet but I believe there's something in particular Andy wants to do.

Have a great weekend you certainly have a plan. I'm going to try and get tickets for the Jersey Boys and Legally Blonde (movie was a hoot). Might do another matinee for Grease next Saturday. Heck matinee during the day and I already have tickets for the evening so that would work.

My friend and I need to firm up our choices in the next few days. I love Broadway and that's what I miss most moving out of New York.

It looks like Legally Blonde might not be happening. Marjory's worried about being tired after flying on from New Orleans at 6am. So we might just go right back to my place. She's sad about the possibility of missing Kate in Legally Blonde but she says going from New Orleans to Newark and then taking the train to where I live only to get back on the train to go to NYC might be too tiring for her.

Or maybe she does want to be ill so Max can nurse her back to health...

Wow, that would be so sweet!! As long as she enjoys herself......

If she were in Max's care I'm sure she would

 

I didn't realize A Catered Affair was closing. I would have liked to have seen that.

Andy's arriving one week from today! I was talking to her last night and she's so excited but she has a cold. She's afraid she won't be over it in time. I told her to get plenty of rest and drink lots of lemonade.

Several years ago, I was out of town visiting a friend when I started to come down with a cold. My firend suggested taking ( 4) C vitamins three times a day . By the third day, I was my ole self again.

---

That's essentially the same reason I suggested the lemonade. As long as you're drinking lemonade made with real lemons you're not only getting the vitimin c but, unlike oranges, lemons have natural synephrine which is a great cold fighter.

I did not know that, Eris! Good information to know!

My mom was a nurse until my older brother was born and they moved to NJ. I've got all sorts of little gems like that.

Anytime I have a cold I head right for the lemonade. I don't like to take medicine unless I really need it so I like having the "natural" remedies handy. And I don't know if it's just in my head because I expect the lemonade to work but as soon as I start drinking it I feel better.

But back to Andy. I haven't spoken to her yet today but I imagine we'll be talking tonight when I get home from work. As I mentioned before the original plan was to go to New York to see Legally Blonde on Friday night but that's been scratched because she's concerned she'll be too tired from catching a 6am flight out of New Orleans. So I've been toying with what to do that night. Both The Dark Night and Mamma Mia come out in theatres that day but is taking her to a darkened movie theatre when she's tired such a good idea? She's supposed to arrive in Newark at around 3pm, I believe. There's a train station at Newark Airport so all she needs to do is get on the train and come here. I drive righht past the train station on my way home from work so I'll just swing in and pick her up I think what I'll do is bring her back to the house and we'll just get take out. There's really no need to plan every minute that she's here.

Right now I have a case of Tropicana bottled lemonade under my desk at work but snapple works well too. They also make a sugar free but it's not always available in cases at the store so I get what I can.

Andy's never seen the movie Xanadu and I have it on VHS. I may just suggest we watch that.

Andy should be in Atlanta right now. She has a rather long layover there before flying into Newark.

She lives in Alabama but is flying in from New Orleans. That airport is easier for her to fly out of.

Nope. She's originally from Delaware. She can have a tiny bit of a "twang" after living there for so long but it's not really strong.

When I was a freshman in college my roommate, who was from near San Francisco, told our neighbor that she hated my accent. My neighbor, being from New York, replied "What accent?"

LOL! The New Jersey accent doesn't bother me. Midwestern accents bother me the most.

I was in Cleveland two years ago visiting some friends. We were sitting at Jacob's Field watching the Indians play the Rays when my friend said she was going to get some "pop". So, of course, I started making fun of her. "What? You're going to get some paaaap?" We had a laugh and she asked if I wanted anything. I told her I wanted a bottle of water. She gets real quiet and she says "You want what?" "Water." "Wooder? What's wooder?" So, she got me back.
