mama mia

Well hubby and I went to see the musical mama mia and it was great. He surprised me on valentines day with the tickets as he knew that I had always wanted to go to it. What a sweet guy!!!! He took the day off of work so we made an evening out of it and drove to Langley for an early dinner at the olive garden (very yummmmmy!!!) and then proceeded to vancouver for the show. We even were able to find parking only abouty 6 blocks away so that was a good thing too. If you have never seen mama mia and ever get the opportunity to go then I highly recommend it. The story line was great -- the dancing was great -- the music and singing was awesome. My hubby even loved it and we both laughed through-out. At the end the whole audience was on its feet swaying and dancing and singing to the music. I was telling my dad about what we thought about it (he and my mom saw it last year) and how when I was a kid my best friend and I used to pretend we were abba and would dress up and sing --- he responded by saying , "you mean they go that far back" -- lol -- I don't think he even realized what he said.

I am half way through a book that I started reading the other day. It is called Crystal Lies By Melody Carlson. So far it is really good. It is about a mom dealing with her sons addiction and really how addiction effects the whole family -- including the one who is the addict. I will most likely be done it tomorrow or the next day.

I have been doing quite a bit of crochet lately -- basically making face scrubbies. I have a hard time just sitting and watching television so I usually end up working on a crochet project. I have been using these scrubbies for a while now and really enjoy them. They are soft enough that they don't iritate my skin yet still clean the make-up off. A friend of mine had me make her some to use when she is bathing her new baby. I listed a couple of sets on etsy the other day and have another set that I will be listing soon. These lime green and white ones are my current favorite as I love the colors. I have always been a green girl -- maybe because my eyes are green.

I guess I should get and start dinner -- on tonites menu is baked spagehetti and garlic toast with a salad. Something relatively easy -- my kind of cooking! I still haven't gotten around to baking a new cookie recipe that I recently found -- peanut butter with chunks of chocolate -- but hope to get to that soon --- if they turn out I may even post the recipe.
