15 thoughts on SIX

I saw this about a week ago and here are some thoughts! 

  1. The show made me want to learn more about all the ladies (which was its clear goal, so well done!)
  2. The song that stood out to me most in the production I saw was "Heart of Stone"
  3. The song I've listened to the most from the soundtrack (recorded by another cast) is the finale "Six"
  4. I think including the song "Haus of Holbein" was smart to bring the energy up after the incredible, but slower song "Heart of Stone"
  5. While I had my favorite songs, I have now listened to the soundtrack as a whole on repeat
  6. I'm impressed that the actresses are on stage almost the entire time (really they only leave for mere seconds or so it felt)
  7. I am considering being one of the ladies for Halloween and/or C2E2
  8. I love that this is a musical that makes history tantalizing 
  9. I fully support the choice to not have Henry as a speaking or even seen role
  10. Having the band on stage was a fun touch
  11. The show made me wonder if I could write a play about history (maybe a goofy one about the US Camel Corps--one of my favorite odd bits of history)
  12. I appreciated that while it was a shorter show, all of the ladies got their chance to shine and garner attention
  13. The lighting was cleverly done (especially when used to emphasize the beheadings)
  14. The costumes were dynamic and delightful
  15. I wish they were selling merch (now I must go on Etsy--gasp!)

Starting my parental journey, part 9

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here ,  read part 6 here ,  read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
