I know, growing up sucks huh? :P lol I have the same thing now. No matter how late I go to bed, I always wake up between 7 and 8. How I miss the days when I would go to bed at 4am and wake up at noon.....

I wake up at 6:15 in the morning pretty much regardless of day of week or how late I was up the night before. I have to really be sleep deprived over a lengthy period before I can sleep later than 7.

Do not discount the power of an afternoon nap

Is it afternoon yet?

I don't know how I managed it, but I think Alex is actually going to go with me to see Phantom :D

Anyway, I went to get tix yesterday, and of course they're all sold out of the $30 top level, back-of-house seats because I frikking waited until the show opened to try to get seats. (Scheduling issues) But anyway, the good news is, they do have *$20* "obstructed view" seats on the far left of the orchestra section that are only blocked by the edge of the proscenium. The only things I can think of that might be blocked would be the Phantom's throne and maybe dead Piangi. But the box office guy said he knew people he worked with had bought those seats and said they didn't miss anything important, so maybe even that won't be too badly blocked. I'm super excited. And $20! I paid $30 back in the late 80's for seats at the Ahmanson where you couldn't see the freaking mirror because the high angle had the top of the proscenium blocking. To me this is a heck of a deal. You can't see a concert that cheap!

Oh, if anyone cares, we're going Tuesday.

Aaaaaagh! Our poor avocado and lemon trees. Ken's outside right now, repotting them into large tree pots. It's not a pretty sight. (I could close the blinds... but nah.)

He knows how to repot, but dude!! It looks rather perilous. (To the trees, of course.) :eek:

I have a new favorite concert venue! Amazing show last night, with good food to boot.

Oh that reminds me... so either we have troublesome kids or immature adults in our neighborhood. Last night, some asshole turned on our hose full strength in front of our house. Could have killed my snapdragons, might have killed my avocado. Only time will tell. Luckily we checked or it'd have been on all night.

I was so *pissed*

OMG - glad you're ok.
