wake me when it's over!

(Photos: The girls with Mom in NY. With Dad at Xmas.)

so, my family came in today. which means i had to submit to the inevitable.

doing my laundry.

no joke, it's been many moons since i've done the l-word. so that's that.

but this morning, i had a bunch of around the house tasks to do before the family's arrival so i was running around like a crazy lady. i ended up only doing about half of what i originally set out to do (i had lofty ideals), but i'm coming to terms with not beating myself up over it.

happy sunshine reconvened today. we started rehearsals again at the zipper (welcome back, lynn) and we're getting back into the swing of things. stopped at green symphony for a smoothie and saw aaron tveit and jennifer barnhart. it's my favorite spot where all the broadway folk frequent, and i can pretend to be one of them! haha.

i'm at brianna's house in queens right now. we all watched american idol and now we're waiting to see who's getting booted on dancing with the stars.

ps. if you didn't know already, i'm in love with david archuleta. no joke, his number one fan. from the get-go. if he doesn't win, i will cry.
