You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely. In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet. (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.) So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts. Yeah, it's been one of those nights. Sigh.
In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena. I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here. It's been awhile since I've done any reviewing for them. In a nutshell, the musical was good, but the book is way better. However, doesn't it kill you when Jo rejects Laurie?! It gets me every time. (Sorry if that was a spoiler for anyone who doesn't know the story of Little Women.)
Oh, I hate it when I stub my toe or drip something on my shirt that usually stains it forever!!! That stinks! I hope your toe is better. I'm glad Danny is such a sweetheart and did his best to make you feel better! Did the blood stains come out of the carpet? I hope so! I agree with you, I have no idea why Jo rejected Laurie! Doesn't make much sense! Oh well, guess she had to follow her heart! Joseph was such a good husband and watched the 6 hour Collin Firth Pride and Prejudice with me! It was such fun! He prefers the shorter, newer version though! :)
ReplyDeleteLuckily the stains came out of the shirt and carpet. And my toe is ok, I just have to wear sandals for a few days, because shoes hurt. Wow, Joseph is great to have watched the long Pride and Prejudice. Danny has handled watching the shorter version with me, but we haven't tackled the 6 hour one.
ReplyDeleteLydia read Little Women last year and hated it, especially about her sister. I had to tell her that it was patterned after Alcott's life so sadly. Hope you have a better day tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteErin - You mean about her sister, Beth? Also, so sad. And today is going better, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your review, Jannifer. Wish I could see the musical in the park with the crickets sweetly chirping. I guess I'm super lucky because Dad is great about watching those kinds of movies with me. We both love them!
ReplyDeleteI can empathize with your stubbed toe and stained shirt. On my birthday I spilt orange juice and ice cream on my blouse. I felt like I was ready for the nursing home. I'm glad to see that younger people do that too!
Yes, she hated that Beth died.
ReplyDeleteMama Wood - Thanks and next time you are in town, I'll let you know if I'm reviewing any more musicals. Perhaps you can accompany me. And your story made me feel a little bit better. :)
