Square dancing tonight. Several car-loads are going from our club here to St. Stephen for a special dance. Live music!
Seelerman and I were invited along. We've never danced to live music.
It's quite a way - I think about two hours each way - but we'll leave early, grab a bit when we get to St. Stephen (a town on the NB/Maine border), dance a couple of hours, and drive home in the night.
I'll try to grab a nap this afternoon.

Enjoy that Seeler! Dancing to live music is different that the recorded stuff. Highly enjoyable :)
 
Had fun last evening - a friend's 50th birthday is coming up & she was lamenting that she wanted to to see the Cinderella movie & her teenage daughters were definitely NOT up for that. So I said I'd treat her ... and another friend also wanted to come along. So it was a Cinderella party! We met after work for wine & dinner, then to the early movie. We considered wearing tiaras, but didn't :-) Had a great 'girlie' time! Movie was okay ... rich visuals, some good casting - a few recognizable actors, good special effects courtesy of the Fairy Godmother, beautiful costumes ... who wouldn't want to go dancing in that amazing blue dress at least once! I was interested to see Richard Brannaugh was the director.
 
Great idea for a birthday outing.

Seeler, enjoy your live music dancing. I am glad you are feeling better. Curious if you are still coughing. I think mine is almost gone (is that tempting fate)

Just sitting down after cleaning out the fridge of everything with a best before date prior today (i know...some is good,but honestly, it means no one is eating/using it, so taking up space). Also did a thorough cleanout/purge of a closet that stands in for a pantry. So, 1.5 recycle bins later, and 3 fillings of the metal compost bucket....and now it is ready for cleaning.

I'm wondering if spring is some nature thing to clean out the cave of the junk ...the sun definitely seems to be a motivating factor.
 
Greetings Roomies!

I have been "away" . . . I haven't left home LOL . . . I just have been into the Cafe - seems like last two weeks have been so busy . . .

I haven't gone back and read all the posts since I've been in the room, but I am hoping all are well, and that those who have been under the weather are feeling better.

This coming week will be another busy one . . . a friend visiting for a few hours from out of town one day, two meetings, a regular study group, company coming for Easter weekend Thursday to Sunday, so preparing and cleaning and shopping to do.

Boiling turkey neck bones to make broth and doing odd jobs today.

Spring break here for our schools - lots of people have gone away on a "spring vacation" holiday that I know.

It is warmer - today hovering around +1 - we have had warmer days that resulting in melting and then the running water freezing, so there is ice on back lanes, parking lots, etc. - very treacherous in those places.

Anyone going away for Easter weekend or having company?

Spooky - my husband just did this today also! The fridge looks very spacious now!!
 
Ooops - you got it right Mendalla - it's Kenneth Branagh! :confused: Sir Kenneth to his friends. I think he was partnered with Helena Bonham-Carter for a while - she played the Fairy Godmother; two women from Downton Abbey are also in the movie - playing Cinderella & one of the step-sisters; and Cate Blanchett is great as the Wicked Stepmother. I wondered if Hugh Grant played the bit role of a portrait painter, but he was gone before I could really connect that ... perhaps? It was his voice that resonated for me.
 
Thinking of Seeler square dancing tonight to live music & real callers! Must be lots of swirling crinolines and big smiles as they're all do-si-do'ing :-) I used to enjoy the square dancing we did in high school gym classes, but that's about the extent of my involvement.
 
No - it was not Hugh Grant - found the answer to my question about the portrait painter in Cinderella - but it was Rob Brydon a Welsh impressionist (remembered well from "The Trip") who often does sound like Hugh Grant!

Apparently, he had an affair with her that ended his marriage to Emma Thompson and that continued for a few years after the divorce before she left him and ended up with Tim Burton (from whom she split last year).
 
Pinga - I'm still coughing - but not as bad as before. And while I am not 'sick' I still don't feel myself. Tired, no energy. I know - dancing for two hours and then getting home in the middle of the night (bed at 1:00 am - over two hours later than usual), would make anyone tired - but sleeping in for two hours later than usual should bring the normal healthy person back to normal. But I'm tired - and have this dry cough. And I wake with my mouth dry - I think I must be sleeping with my mouth open.
Let's see what another week will do for me.
 
I have neither listened nor seen Book of Mormon yet. In fact, I've been kind of out of the musical scene in recent years and most of my current favorite shows date to the eighties or at least the nineties.

Fun? I heard it's really rude and crude, with very bad language in it.

It's from the creators of South Park so this is hardly unexpected. I would say that their names (Trey Parker and Matt Stone) should be a red flag for folks sensitive to bad language, explicit sexual and scatological humour, and so forth.

Doesn't make it bad (I have enjoyed some episodes of South Park, though some of the humour goes off the scale even for me) but it does mean it is not for everyone.

I was actually a bit surprised by the extent of the bad language. I thought it would have been toned down more than South Park - but not really. Still, was highly enjoyable.
 
they spent a long time in making this tony-award winning play, 7 years doing actual research from actual Mormons from Mormon Central itself

and like Trey & Matt predicted, the Mormon church is cool with it -- they even have advertised at their plays :3

the usa produces some awesome stuff
