where waves grow sweet

I thought I was going to write yesterday, but ended up giving you a breather because of some spontaneous outings. Watch out, though, I may shoot a couple posts your way today. This one’s just a quickie.

Had to cancel some plans Saturday because I was fighting something off. (Turns out the rasp I noticed while singing the national anthem on the drive home Friday night wasn’t a newfound sexiness after all.) So yesterday’s excursions were a particular treat.

Thanks to a sick friend who couldn’t use her tickets (sorry Kristi!), I got to see Idina Menzel sing at the OC Performing Arts Center. Wasn’t familiar with her name, but was pretty familiar with a few obscure productions she’d been in… like, I don’t know, Wicked, Rent, Glee. My friend (Sheree) and I guessed, based on the freakish screams and applause from those around us, that she has quite a fan base. And now we know why.

I got home, grabbed a bite, and decided last minute to head over with my mom and Cole to a local church where a Ugandan pastor was speaking. Love that the body of Chris is connected all over this planet. Just realized that I typed Chris instead of Christ, but it changes the meaning in a way that hits me as really funny so I’m just going to leave it.

A couple updates on past posts:

My mom bought another big plastic Baja Fresh cup, so Cole and I no longer have to compete for the one we have. Why I didn’t do this a year or two ago is beyond me. Although we will deprive my brother, Christian, of his enjoyment of our mother-son hissing that reminds him of the creatures he loves so much on that Meerkat Manor show. Not quite sure how flattering that is of me as a mom, but always glad to entertain…

Yesterday, a friend and her husband invited me to tag along for the France portion of their Fall 2012 European holiday. Who knows how it will play out, but maybe this will provide the needed motivation to pull one of those numerous French books off the shelf. Aaah… but which one?

Okeee dokee. That’s it for now. Hope you have a great Monday.

Vive la France!
