Mi Mi Mi...La La La

Those who know me, know that I love the theatre. But, the catch is my theatre partner (my sister)and I aren't filthy rich, live in NYC or part of some ritzy broadway club. We wait for the broadway tours to arrive in SF. So, our choices are limited. So when the right show arrives. We stake out how to get the best seats in town. This time we have struck gold! On stage tickets for $30. That's right $30...ON STAGE. Allen and Annie recognized me from their orchestra seats! We knew some of the open seats are saved for the cast members... So, during a play that is set in Germany in the late 19th century we didn't expect the cast members to be in regular street clothes rocking out! Wow! All the kids rocked out! I loved it! There was even some boobie and ass action! That threw me off a bit. I admit, I was a bit reluctant about the play but they have won me over. They have won me over.

I had to stay afterwards to meet the kids. The music director a kid himself rocked out with his mohawk and Van Slip ons. All so young, all so talented... I'm so jealous! I've been practicing my mi mi mi's and la la la's! There's an open call casting ... am I up for the challenge? Not! I'll just sit on stage and admire.
Ladies and gentleman, Spring Awakening.

Summers over!

It might be 100 degrees outside but summer is over for my little Rj.
1st day of Kindergarten was on Tuesday and my little man was ready. I was so proud of him. He told me the night before how nervous he was. But, this is the day he's been waiting for. To go to the big school we drive past everyday to go to his preschool. With his Star Wars backpack and breakfast snack in his racecar lunchbox in tow. My little man was ready. With no tears, shoulders back and head held high my Rj walked off.

Three and a half hours later, Rj was sitting waiting for me in the cafeteria. Exactly where he was supposed to be. A big smile on his face, he's excited to see me. Tells me what a great day he's had, waves bye to his teacher, "Bye Mrs. Tanaka! See you tomorrow!". I knew right there. My Rj was officially in elementary school, a kindergartner. Stay tuned for more adventures!
