i was looking through the ads in this morning\u2019s scintillating paper, and the Meijer ad was all about END OF SEASON CLEARANCE. stuff like plants and trellises and lawn furniture BECAUSE NOW IT\u2019S THE END OF THE SEASON???!!!<\/p>\n
it\u2019s only the third week of june. there is PLENTY of summer ahead of us. PLENTY. <\/p>\n
IT IS NOT THE END OF THE SEASON.<\/p>\n
but i\u2019m sure that next week\u2019s ads will include NEW FALL FASHIONS and BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIALS. and the week after that they\u2019ll be selling halloween candy, and the following week, CHRISTMAS SPECIALS.<\/p>\n
last night we went to see the musical HAIRSPRAY at the Little Theatre on the Square in Sullivan Illinois, and it was GREAT. FANTASTIC. WE ALL LOVED IT.<\/p>\n
it was refreshing to see a show that was just plain good. the songs were all good, it was a great production, there was nothing to complain about at all. <\/p>\n
well, the dinner beforehand wasn\u2019t so great. we went to a place in sullivan called “jibby\u2019s,” because the woman at the little theater said it was the best place to go. DOES THAT MEAN THE OTHER PLACES ARE WORSE THAN JIBBY\u2019S? we started our meal with fried stuff, which i didn\u2019t partake of because i\u2019m still sick. but there were fried onion rings and fried CREAMED CORN. fried creamed corn? i would have tried it if i hadn\u2019t been sick, just because it\u2019s such an odd thought. everybody else had some and they said it was bad. i had lukewarm ravioli that i\u2019m pretty sure was frozen, kevin and mom had very gummy vegetable lasagne, randy had a pork chop that wasn\u2019t completely terrible but boy he hated the blue cheese dressing. amy had french onion soup and i know she didn\u2019t like it but i couldn\u2019t ascertain what was wrong with it because she was sitting down at the other end of the table. jim had spaghetti that probably came from the same place as my ravioli. <\/p>\n
the restaurant was PACKED with people, so maybe it is, indeed, the best place in sullivan. very sad. maybe people in sullivan have no taste buds.<\/p>\n
did i mention that I LOVED THE PLAY? it\u2019s coming to the sangamon auditorium in september and i\u2019d love to see it again.<\/p>\n
the amazing thing about the little theatre on the S. is that it\u2019s sort of like seeing a professional show on a high school stage. the theater is small and so is the stage but there wasn\u2019t a bad performer on it. the dancing was phenomenal, the singing, great, and the orchestra really great. <\/p>\n
i wish you could go see it, but tonight is the last night. but go see something else there, i\u2019m sure the other shows will be good, too. except i can\u2019t imagine that they could be as good as hairspray. it made me forget about being sick and the fact that maybe i\u2019ll continue to be sick this week even though i have many things i need to accomplish.<\/p>\n
hopefully i\u2019ll be well enough to go out and shop for christmas specials.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
