Whirlwind week again

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that yet again I slacked off. I need to get back in the habit of posting every day! I'm already tired tonight so I'll try to keep it short.
Tuesday, we had another dinner party/fish fry. Corey and his dad were crazy successful with fishing this past weekend and we needed people to eat all the walleye!! 10 people later and about 6 lbs of walleye, everyone was happy. I am thankful for friends helping do dishes afterwards. I have survived without a dishwasher for about 6 years now, and although there are days it sucks, it's nice to have friends help out after dinner for 10!!
Wednesday, I won't even say I was thankful for the snow day. Although I caught up on sleep, it was frustrating to lose a rehearsal day one day before a concert! So instead, I'll focus on the evening. Went to playhouse square with some friends again. This time to see Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat. I am in love with the theater district here in Cleveland. Such high level shows for cheap and beautiful theaters to see them in! Can't get much better. And I am super thankful I have friends to go with me when Corey isn't interested! 

Today, was my winter/spring concert with my 7/8th graders at one school. I have a pretty unbalanced ensemble, but some very talented kids. We had a couple songs that could have crashed, but they pulled through! Overall it was actually a great concert!! Thankful for my students!!

Live theater

Living in Cleveland, I have come to love all there is to do here! Especially playhouse square! Cleveland's Playhouse Square boasts one of the top 5 theater districts in the country!! We have regular top level tours plus several other shows going on all the time. I have been fortunate to see some great shows here. Tonight I went to see Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. It was excellent. Definitely darker and heavier than I expected, but per usual standards, the performance was great!

The thing I am most thankful for today... Playhouse Square, and their $10 smart seats!! For only 10 bucks you can see almost any big show if you get your tickets early. Sure you're pretty high up, but there is nothing better than a live performance. Especially when it's cheaper than a movie theater!!
