"Giants are just like us...only bigger...much muuuuuch bigger"

So I'm packing today. I had lunch with some friends and then went and got a new wallet and picked up a printer (that works, yay!) from some other friends. Now I'm in my room surrounded with a mess. It is, as my sister in law says, a "functional" mess, but it's still a mess. I've done lots of packing today, gotten clothes out of my dressers, organized the closet into clothes that are going Tuesday and clothes I'll wait to take and I'm doing laundry. feels pretty productive. I'm going out with a friend late tonight so I have lots of time to stay awake and get things done. So, while i'm cleaning and packing I need something slightly distracting on my TV, so I'm watching the Stephen Sondheim musical "Into The Woods". This musical is hilarious, I first found it in high school when I was in a musical theatre class. It's witty, smart, creative, the music is fantastic, and the lyrics are just genius. The story includes a lot of familiar fairy tale characters- Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and my favorite, Prince Charming. There are two prince charming characters and they are hilarious. I'm telling you that if you have any tolerance (or love!) for musicals and haven't seen it, the princes are worth it. I discovered that someone has uploaded the entire show onto youtube, so you can check it out there. ok...back to the packing! happy thursday!!!!

Emily and I saw a community theatre production of 'Into the Woods' (don't asky why). I was pleasantly surprised...it's definitely a witty musical.

Good luck with the packing/move!
