Do-Re-Mi and Blue Pee

Saturday proved to be a first on two accounts.

First, I went to a Sound of Music sing-a-long that ended up being one of the most enjoyable nights of the summer. There's nothing like singing along to The Hills are Alive (complete with people standing and spinning around like Maria does), Sixteen Going on Seventeen, Favorite Things, Do-Re-Mi, The Lonely Goatherd, and Edelweiss with hundreds of other people, many who are dressed up for the evening in dirndls, lederhosen, or as "favorite things". It was an absolute blast. Other highlights of the evening were: hissing when the Baroness Schraeder came on screen; booing when any of the Nazis appeared on screen, including Rolf at the beginning, because we all know what happens to him at the end; and pulling our little firecracker, popper things when Maria and Captain von Trapp kiss for the first time. (Those little yellow bags in the picture were filled with our props for the evening.)

Moral of the story: Sing-a-longs, are totally worth the money. Sound of Music sing-a-longs are even better. I probably need to go to a Mama Mia sing-a-long before I can make a final judgment though.

Secondly, and I don't have a picture because that would just be gross, my pee turned blue after eating some brownies laced with Methylene blue in honor of the BYU football game this past weekend. And you know what? That's the only details you're really gonna get on that subject. Is it TMI to talk about pee? TMI for you? or TMI for me? I don't know, but my pee was blue and I only had a bite. That's powerful stuff.
