I Toast To My Own Reunion

First off, I want to send a big ole shout out to Ms. Speedy, who heard my calls of pain in the night and directed me to zappos.com to look for shoes.

And I did, oh boy did I. I ordered two pairs of shoes, my new Tevas:


and my new Bandolinos:


I ordered both on Tues at 4:00; they were waiting for me when I got home last night. And they are both EXACTLY what I wanted. I’m so pleased. I often forget that I can shop for things online! I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Speedy, thank you.

So this weekend is shaping up to be ridiculous! I have off tomorrow, so I must explain my weekend for you today.

Oh wait, one thing….last night thankfully, proved to me that reality TV still has some justice in the world. What should have happened, happened. No neck Melinda got booted, and Jaslene won ANTM. Jaslene totally deserved this win, and I’m so happy! After watching Eric and Danielle win Amazing Race, Earl winning Yao’s million and stupid Asia winning the stupid Pussycat Dolls, it was nice to see the person win who SHOULD HAVE won. Be fierce Jaslene, be fierce.

So lets see, this weekend is not only the graduation of my very artistic brother from the Art Institute (the whole family is coming in, well…is already in) but it’s also the 10th Anniversary of our improv theater, The Playground. Fun!

Tonight I watch my handsome love do a show and then apparently there’s a Star Wars/Bar Mitzvah party…tomorrow I meet my brothers and mom for lunch and then a quick observation boat tour, then dinner with the fam.

Saturday is graduation, then lunch, and then….THEN, one of the greatest teams of all time at the Playground – Mr. Fancypants -- is getting together for one more night of rousing hilarity.

Mr. Fancypants was my team, the best team. Man we were funny together. So we’re having a reunion show and one of my favorite people in the universe, Mr. Dan Izzo, will be returning from Ann Arbor MI to round out the night. Dan is one of my greatest friends and I miss him terribly. I can’t wait to play with him, to drink with him, to just…talk to him and his lovely wife. There’s an improv prom as well, our show, and all kinds of happenings.

Here’s a pic of the Pants, while we were young and in our prime.



YAY WEEKEND! See y'all on Monday

Smuss! The thing that is awesome about them is that those straps are stretchy fabric, not rigid barriers to comfort. I'll be giving them a trial run this weekend, I'll let you know how it goes.
