Day 45/365: Sweet

I spent my day scrubbing the house clean and watching two dudes remove the motherlode of fall leaves from my front and back yards.

Upon the suggestion of my friend Ashley, we went to see Wicked at The Orpheum on Sunday. I’m sort of inexperienced when it comes to real live musicals (I saw Cats and A Doll’s House at TPAC, I think?, while in middle and high school) and — short of Tim Burton movies…
