Musical tickets for my favorite sister

My sister is such a hard worker, and she has many passions in life. One of them is music and writing musicals. She is so gifted, and I think it helps her when she is inspired by the work of other people. She just impresses me so much with what she can do with the music in her head. The other day I went ahead and got Lincoln Center Tickets For South Pacific on Broadway. I know when I give them to her, she will probably cry because she loves musicals so much, especially this one. She was in it once, and loved it.

It’s Silly But I Have to Know.

I always have to go onto the internet to look at all of the reality tv spoilers for that show that I can find. It is like a need that I have to find out what will be happening on the next episode.

His Heart on His Sleeve

My husband likes to tell everyone that, when it comes to me, he wears his heart on his sleeve.

And, although it may not actually be a sleeve, technically he’s right. During the seventeen years we’ve been married, he has had a new tattoo made each anniversary, as a monument to our marriage.

He started with little heart tattoos on the back of his hands, then hearts on his biceps. Eventually he moved on to tattoos made from photos and mythical creatures. He has tiny dates, names, and roses in various places.

Most of the tattoos are tiny and have to be pointed out but he still has a lot of fun at each anniversary party, showing off his latest and greatest and saying, once again, that he is happy to wear his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his wife

My Daughter Wants a Make Over.

My daughter told be last month that for her birthday she wanted to totally make over her room. I figured that sounded good to me and she had been living with a Disney Princess theme for long enough. After all she was turning 10 and that is like the new 13 or something she said. So we went out and bought some paint, some kids wall art decals, and some really neat accessories. After we get done with all of that I told her we could get her a new bed ensemble too. I loved doing this with her so much that I think I will mention a room make over to my 5 year old next.

oil painting on canvas

I really like painting because this does not only allow me to shapen my perspectives it also allows me to express intensed emotions which are difficult to express to other people.

Among art forms, painting, most especially oil painting on canvas is what I really want to be an expert of. Though I have acquired some techniques and skills about it, still I want to enhance those skills– this is called passion. Perhaps, someday, I may be able to create a masterpiece that has an equal value as that of those famous painters.

Dance: The New Entertainment Trend

I’ve noticed that, in the last two years or so, TV seems to be filled with shows about dancing.

There are at least two reality shows featuring people dancing; and several movies have been about dancing.

I’m loving all of them, especially the ones which include romantic (or funny) wedding dancing lessons.

In two of the movies the couples are actually fighting while taking dancing lessons, which makes it fun to watch. Of course you know they’ll end up together because they dance so well together.

As far as I’m concerned, the dance shows can keep on coming. I’m loving all of them, from Sambas to the two-step and everything in between.
