friends, food, fun...and a creepy dude

so it's been a busy couple of weeks, as i've been weaving real life and life in busytown together! today we're going to look at a few highlights of the past 10 days or so...and maybe one or two lowlights, as well.

1. BUSYTOWN GUESTS!

so busytown is still going strong...and by strong, i mean sometimes we have shows and sometimes we don't. just depends on the day and who booked and whatnot. it is a fun show to do because of the reaction and response of the kids. but i'll tell you WHAT...it wears me out! the past 10 days, i've had a handful of fun visitors come to see the show...and although i didn't get pictures with all of them, there are a few that i got to spend a little more time with and snap some photos! thanks to EVERYONE who is making the trek to bethesda and imagination stage to see the show. and never fear...we're there until nov 2, so holler at me about coming or just make your plans NOW!


one of my favorite visitors has been miss louise block! she came dressed for october...and afterwards, i got to have lunch with her and her mom, allison! and then, betsy bear (emily) showed up - and louise was in heaven! betsy, huckle and louise pose for quick picture!


and then it was time for just betsy and louise!


luckily, she also had time for a picture with huckle.


another fun visit after the show was with my friend, sina and her daughter ruby - who have recently returned from 2 years of living in paris...and will very soon leave for 2 years to live in sri lanka. sina brought our good friend, anias, as well. and since sina and family were out of town for much of the 'motorboat craze', we spent our time post-show catching up! (sorry you missed this, nate!)


2. MR. YOGATO CONTINUES TO CHANGE MY LIFE

so those of you who facebook with me know that i have been talking much of this mr. yogato the past few weeks. that's because, basically, it's one of the best places to get a delicious treat in the entire district of columbia...and you really don't even have to feel that bad about it. delicious and pretty healthy. just check it OUT, yo. plus, it's always a good time when you go there. (and i DID go there...a few times in the past 10 days! emily levey made me go twice...and i didn't argue.) last time we went, i got 5% off for the 'challenge of the day': being able to touch my nose with my tongue! get out! but seriously...if you are in washington dc and haven't tried it yet...get thyself to mr. yogato almost immediately. (try the original tangy with mango and granola. life-altering.) also, if you're going...call me. chances are high i will be willing to meet you there. emily will, too.

emily happily shows off her medium mr. yogato with chocolate and raspberries.

a look at my favorite....mentioned above.

3. SING-A-LONG 'MAMMA MIA"

that's right...this week at the arlington cinema and drafthouse, they are showing the sing-a-long version of the movie musical of the summer: MAMMA MIA. hello? tonight was $2 night to get in...so we went. i mean...order a diet coke and some key lime pie, kick back in your plush seat and sing ABBA hit after ABBA hit! it was a good end to the day...and for those of you interested...check the website. i think it is around for 4 more showings this week. i mean, seriously....'how can i resist ya'?


sierra and her sister, merry, enjoy the show.


just a couple of shots of the screen. good times.

4. DEFINITE LOWLIGHTS

just 2 things that come to mind:
-i've been having the lamest computer issues. evidently, i got some spyware or something on my computer and it's been affecting everything. and it's a big ol' pain in the arse. it has definitely made me cranky. but, thanks to some friends and some spouses of friends, i think i got most of it worked out. but seriously...all that virus crap and spyware and adware and wormware and CRAPware stuff...it's not good. so you know...stay away from it if you can.

-aaaaaand last night, roommate tyler had to call the cops because he saw someone UNDER our front porch, watching him through the window. no joke. totally creepy. it was all very surreal - especially because it was like 1am and tyler knocked on my door to see if everything was cool up here...and when he opened the door he had a shotgun and was all wild-eyed. wacky. so then we spent the next hour talking to the cops and taping up brown paper over the windows in the basement. and then i spent the next HOUR after that trying to fall asleep but being all wound up and creeped out. but luckily, i live on the top floor....so if someone were looking in my windows, they would be pretty easy to spot...dangling from the powerlines outside the back of my house. but bottom line - it was definitely an exciting night at the t street house. and not good 'exciting.'

if you do see someone dangling from the powerlines... it's likely me... just checking in... using all my dance skills I learned in the BIGGEST DANCE SHOW OF THE SEASON.
