Success!

Wow. It feels like this weekend took forever to get here and forever to get through.

Let's see, my brother was in town and we had such a nice time. I have all kinds of life issues to push through and I just really needed to talk to someone who knows me through and through and we did. And we walked on the beach and ate cheeseburgers and hung out with my mom and it was just a really nice time.

Then Saturday hit. John's big opening for THEMS. I really don't have much to do with THEMS (except I'll be guest starring as the Stowaway on June 6th, yay!) so all I had to do was pretty myself up to be the producer's wife. I got a mani/pedi, which I immediately messed up by trying to put my socks back on. I'm not meant for nice things.

Then I went home and took a nap, luxurious.

I had yummy pizza with my brothers and we all ambled over to the show. The house wasn't packed, but there was a nice, solid, supportive audience. I was so excited I completely forgot to take pictures like I was supposed to. Whoops.

Afterwards we all headed to Town Hall for some well-deserved drinky drinks, everyone was happy and excited and talking and talking about the show, I love that.

Sunday we saw mom again then I sat with my handsome husband and spent the whole day just shooting the breeze with him, it was really nice.

And then today the Time Out review came out!

It's just really nice validation for everything these guys have done. I'm just very proud of John for doing this, proud of Ross and Rebecca, proud of the whole cast.

It is a good day in the Hixx house, plus, I'm going to Penny's for dinner tonight. I freaking love Pennys.
