So You Think You Can Dance

Littlest sister & I went to Toledo to see So You Think You Can Dance Season 5 tour. It was A-MAZE-ING. Definitely worth the price of the tickets! However, the drive left much to be desired. According to Yahoo!maps, it was to take us about 3 hours and 40 minutes from my home. It took us about that to get there and a little more to come back (since we stopped for gas and I drove a little more slowly because it was hella dark). So, we left my house around 2:15pm. The show was at 7:30. Got there with plenty of time. Parked right across the street from the arena. Walked a little through town hoping to find a great foodie place to grab some grub, however, we sadly became aware that there was a homecoming dance at a Toledo h.s. the same night and thusly hoards of fancily dressed high schoolers were swarming the local establishments, leaving us foodless. That turned out to be okay as neither of us were extraordinarly hungry.

Pre-show we did a little shopping for some fun SYTYCD tour merchandise. I got the standard tour shirt and a great pair of legwarmers (which I wore tonight for class). Love them both.

The show was amazing. LOVED it. Will post some awesome pics I was able to snag during the performance. We had near perfect seats in the center of the arena with just enough slope so we could see the entire stage.

The show ended and we were on the road to home around 10:15. After a minor detour (thanks to a wonderful bridge being out) and driving through a semi-scuzzy part of town (saw a guy we think either just stole stuff or mugged someone, but no prostitutes) we headed home and bid a fond farewell to Toledo, the city we had only spent about 4 hours in.

Upon our eventual arrival in Meadville (around 2:30am), after a long drive with much singing, laughing and other silly behavior, we decided we definitely needed some grub and stopped at McDonalds. We got ourselves some chicken nuggets and french fries, shared them with Daisy and Rocki and collapsed into our respective beds.

It was a great night-- though I don't think I ever want to drive to Toledo and back in the same day again.

So much to do, so little time

J asked the other day what I would like for Christmas this year. My response was something like, "Another hour or two a day..."

September has felt like May this year. I'm not kidding-- I've been running non-stop during the week, which I expect, but I've been booked solid every weekend. And as much as I love the month of May... I. HATE. IT. The busy-ness is too much. On top of the endless running, I got sick and was out of it for nearly 2 1/2 weeks. ICK. But I pushed through, like the trooper I am, and this weekend was almost boring we had so little to do :) Next weekend- not so much... J's going to be gone to NC with Scott for a Wake Forest football game and some NC fall golfing while I stay home and go to a dance show in Toledo with Samantha. Sunday will be our nephew's last Little Gridders football game of this year, so I'll be at that too. It will be busy, but not nearly as busy as the last few weeks.

On a downside, our neighbors got a new dog, I think (or it's been visiting for a few days) and it is tied outside right now. When they tie it out, it whimpers and barks nearly non-stop. It is irrrrrrratating. Something needs to be done about that before I throw open my back door and start screaming. Stuff like that gets on my nerves. UGH.
