Wicked!

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

I completely forgot about Wicked. We went up to Baltimore to see the traveling Broadway show last Thursday, the 25th. It was good, not as good as the Broadway version, but then again that is why it is touring company rather then the main company. Glinda in the beginning was a bit off, but she improved as the evening went on. Elphaba (spelling?) was decent but ended up speaking a few of her song lines which was a bit off. This was both the leads first real roles though (not sure how long they have been touring though) so it was a good performance anyways.

We enjoyed it and will probably see it again if it stops by DC/Baltimore again, we probably won’t see it on Broadway again for awhile since there are a bunch of other shows we want to see and we’ve now seen Wicked twice.

We did decide that the theatre in Baltimore where it was, is fairly easy to get to, so we will keep an eye out to see what else heads that way, since it isn’t a horrible drive to get there for a night of theatre.

K-line and other stuff

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

So we dropped K off overnight last night. Mainly because he was super hyper and it was super cold so he won’t be getting a walk and we didn’t want to deal with him. Nice thing about having a dog instead of a baby, though that will change in 2 months or so eeek! Took over an hour at the store though, we picked up his various medicines at the Vets and had to wait a bit to get them, then we checked him in fairly quickly. However, we had to go sign up for group training for him (the Intermediate training class) and had to wait for the trainer to see if we could sneak in the full class that starts tomorrow rather then the one that starts in a month and won’t be over before the baby was born.

Went out to dinner after that, waitress was eh, fairly slow, food was decent or as decent as Red Lobster ever is. Then went grocery shopping so we now have food in the house which is a good thing. Called my Mom when I got home and talked to her for awhile. Apparently she may be up this weekend, eek guess we need to clear out the guest bedroom some so she can sleep if she actually comes. Looks like my baby shower is confirmed for the 24th of Feb at least at this point in time. Should be nice to see everyone then, will bring the two older gaming machines we’ve replaced, one for my Grandparents and one for my Aunt’s school since we don’t need them anyways.

Not much going on with my parents, not that much going on here either other then that fact atty is now an official employee at his job, yay! We are pleased. Yay cheap health insurance again. That’s about everything. The blob is good, and kicking and I just passed 30 weeks on Sunday, dang it is starting to feel close now…

Vanguard and such

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Well Vanguard released today, I wasn’t planning on getting it, but I decided to check it out and really like it so I now am. Went to Best Buy early this afternoon and they haven’t received their shipment. Okay fine being a day or two late with a single player game not a huge deal, but with an MMORPG is a pain in ass. Sigh, oh well we’ll go to EB games this evening instead who will have it, still a pain though.

On another note I looked at the Vista display, looked at the requirements for running it, laughed (even though I surpass them) and continued on my way since I wasn’t planning to upgrading anytime soon anyways.

Blegh Gestational Diabetes Screening

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

So I went to take the test yesterday, wasn’t expecting 3 vials of blood to be drawn, but I can deal with it. Got the results today, I failed. Blegh that means I have to go back next week for the 3 hour test and 4 blood draws that is just going to make my day (plus the whole fasting from midnight till it is over thing is going to make me sooo happy). Sigh, oh well, hopefully I’ll pass the 3 hour one and not have to worry about it again until the next time I end up spawning.

Desmond Kiran Singhal?

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Well we think we’ve decided on the blob’s name. We are 99% certain it will be Desmond Kiran, we’re still discussing last names though because we really aren’t sure what we want to do there. Most likely he’ll end up as Singhal, but could end up as a Rosenberg or even something completely new, we just haven’t decided yet.

The other thing I need to do is come up with a Hebrew name for him. Fortunately there aren’t any relatives he has to be named after, unfortunately this means we need to come up with a Hebrew name for him, without naming him after someone, which would have been easy since then you just use their Hebrew name. *Shrug* that’s life I guess, and I’m quite happy that no one has died that he needs to be named after, so all in all finding a Hebrew name for him is a good thing. Now I just need to figure out what it will be.

Updates

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Okay so it has been awhile since I posted last. Oops or something. We went to the Trans Siberian Orchestra, it wasn’t exactly what either of us were expecting but it interesting. We decided we prefer their cds to the concert though.

The new floor is finished. It took a couple days longer then expected, but it looks really nice, maybe I’ll post pictures eventually. The wood looks great as does the tile in the bathrooms. Really glad it is done now. We decided we really like the living room mostly empty now we just need to figure out how to keep it this way.

Staying at my parents was fine. Went to the High Museum and saw the Louvre exhibit which was nice. Went shopping with my Mom got a few things for the baby. Brought home the 6823094 outfits she had bought for him. Was a nice week down there, probably won’t see my Dad till April and the baby is born now, should see my Mom sometime next month for the baby shower and such.

Haven’t heard anything about the baby furniture hopefully we will hear something soon though it was 14 weeks from when we ordered it in December so maybe sometime next month before we hear anything.

Haven’t done a ton this past week just relaxing mainly. Need to work on the baby’s room some and then the rest of the house now that the floor is done.

Need to go in and take my Gestational Diabetes test still, was planning to go in today, but it snowed last night and I am not really that comfortable driving in the snow so it maybe tomorrow, which is a bit later then I planned to do it.

Other then that we got about an inch and a half of snow yesterday it was nice to finally have snow this season. Who knows if we’ll get anymore.

Those are all the basics as far as I can tell.
