Feeling Wicked anyone?

Ok, you all know my insane addiction, obsession, cult following, whatever term you choose to use, of Wicked...which means all Oz type related things.



The best news is that Wicked is leaving LA and moving to....San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre! Whoot! How completely awesome is that? At least for me...Sorry to all of you down in LA who will no longer have the luxury of seeing it as often as you would like.

So....all I want for Christmas is several pairs of tickets and a babysitter. Hint, hint....

I also watched Tin Man while Jay was in Chicago last week, and that was much better than I had expected. I thought I would enjoy it for the "other side of the story" aspect, but I thought for the most part it was well-acted. The ending was a bit fast, and after a how drawn out the story was, I thought maybe that could have been done a better. But Alan Cumming, who played Glitch, the scarecrow-like character, was awesome. He definitely held up the "comic relief" piece without a problem. It was fun looking for and finding the "inside" jokes related to the Wizard of Oz, though I am sure I missed some. If you get a chance, add it to the Netflix queue.

Life was not been so wicked, as I am still running, and attempting to lose this Charlie weight. I am making progress, but these last 10-15 pounds are not so easy to get rid of. I guess the most enjoyable thing that I am doing right now, is sleeping through the night. I am hoping within the next month, I will really enjoy it, as I think my body is still struggling to deal with not getting up multiple times a night. So I often wake more exhausted than I used when I was feeding Charlie in the middle of the night. I am looking forward to more normal sleep at some point. Though I hear that when that happens, you get pregnant and/or have another baby. :)

My brain cells are still a bit slow and stunted, so pardon the mess of words and phrases. I hope that over time, this will improve, but see earlier point about pregnancy/baby, as I am afraid that by the time things start looking up, my belly will start poking out!
