Happy moments

Sitting front row at Jersey Boys. Last week Mike's parents took us to dinner and to see Jersey Boys at the Auditorium Theater and we had a great time. Prior to seeing the show, I didn't know anything about Frankie Valli or the Four Seasons, but I did recognize most of the songs, especially Can't Take My Eyes Off You, which is one of my favorites, though I'm partial to the Fugees version. I didn't know anything about the guys' delinquent youths in New Jersey or that Joe Pesci was the one who introduced Bob Gordio to the rest of the band. Too funny. I also loved the program's warning that the show contains "authentic Jersey language not suitable for children under 12."

Seeing The Artist at the Cinema Theater. I love the vintage feel of the Cinema and the fact that it's an easy walk from my house. The Artist was adorable and I fell in love with the 1920s era costumes, the silent film style acting and the main character's dog.

Saturday morning spin class. I was a little bummed to miss my usual Saturday long run, then I woke up to a cold, gray, rainy morning. Why hello there, silver lining. I went to the gym for an hour of spin class and an hour on the elliptical. I kept cracking up at the funny instructor and his jokes and was happy to discover that my ass no longer hurts after class. But my quads and calves were a little sore the next day, which I'm hoping is a sign that it was a good workout. Maybe I will not totally suck at my upcoming half and full marathons. Maybe.

Yotality, a new frozen yogurt shop in Pittsford. I learned of its existence on Saturday and of course had to make a pilgrimage immediately. Best frozen yogurt I've ever had. And that's saying something because I've eaten a lot of frozen yogurt in my day.

Saturday night dinner/UFC fight. Mike's cousins came over for dinner and to watch the UFC fight. I will never understand the appeal of UFC and I have zero desire to watch guys beat the crap out of each other, but nice people + good food + funny stories = good times.

Ye olde ankle is feeling better. Fingers crossed that all is well.

Lyric of the moment: "My head keeps spinning, I go to sleep and keep grinning. If this is just the beginning, my life's gonna be beautiful..." (because it's a funny old song and I kept hearing it in random places this weekend)
