First confession: my dishwasher isn't the best at actually washing things, so sometimes, I spray my dishes with Windex before turning the knob to "start." I am determined to believe this helps (even though it probably doesn't). I like to think of myself as a quirkier, messier Martha Stewart...
Okay. Fine. I am not like Martha Stewart. Not at all. In fact, I usually feel kind of like this dude when I am cleaning (or doing anything remotely domestic):
Second confession: I have entered 20 Shabby Apple giveaways within the last three days (which means I have WAY too much time on my hands). Hey, I may not be able to afford pretty dresses, but maybe I can win one or two. Don't judge me.
Thirdly, I crave chocolate...everyday. I don't always indulge (but I often do).
And lastly, I have impossible dreams, like performing the lead in Evita on Broadway. I've memorized the entire musical, so I'm fair game for the part, right? (I can seriously sing the whole thing. And I do. All the time. Just ask Damian. Sometimes, he tells me to be quiet. How rude).
So, I'm devastated that today is the first performance of the Evita revival in New York City.
Oh! How I wish I could be there.
I just read this fascinating interview with Elena Rogers, cast as Evita. She is Argentine and says she landed the role partly because when she sings a song like "What's New Buenos Aires?", she knows what she is singing--she can see the city in her mind--and the audience can see that in her eyes.
Can someone PLEASE fly me to New York? Now? I want to see Buenos Aires in Elena Roger's eyes.
And now you know more about me than you ever wanted to know. Good night and thank you (whoever).

I hope you win a Shabby Apple giveaway. I was very impressed with the quality of the dress that I won. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them. I love their vintage look!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I actually won a gift card today. Hurray! :)
DeleteI've never considered windex... interesting! I'll share a confession with you, which is probably more lazy than quirky. Once I tried to make aioli and it wasn't very good, but I kept it in a bowl in the fridge. Then forgot about it for a while. Then I remembered and realised it would be gross, so didn't want to touch it to wash it. Then, I left it a bit longer. Finally, I threw the whole container out instead of dealing with the potential grossness inside. So now you know haha.
ReplyDeleteHehehehehe. This is too funny. Thanks for sharing. :)
DeleteAs soon as you said you sprayed Windex on your dishes to help clean them, I immediately thought of the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and Toula's dad who claims that Windex can cure ANYTHING. If you haven't seen this movie, you must. Very funny movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with chocolate, which is probably why I gave it up for Lent. I almost always have a craving and can usually satisfy that.
Good luck with the Shabby Apple giveaways!
I LOVE that movie, which is probably why I thought to use Windex in the first place. I also wipe my counters and dust with Windex, too. I think it's safe to say that My Big Fat Greek Wedding has been one of the great influences in my life. Hehe. :)
DeleteI want to see Buenos Aires in Elena Roger's eyes too!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can make the next revival, in a few years, when we are rich and famous? ;) Sister trip? :)
DeleteGood luck with winning the dresses!!! I've won three! I'm not telling you that to brag on my winning skills... but to show how much TIME I have on MY hands... sheesh. haha! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's really encouraging, actually. Maybe we can make careers out of entering giveaways. Hehe. :)
DeleteAhaha! We used to think our dishwasher wasn't very good until we started using rinse aid. Now everything comes up shiny and sparkly!
ReplyDeleteWindex fixes everything, dear. Even dishwashers that don't really do a great job of dishwashing. :)
ReplyDeleteI guess you won one of those 20 dresses, haha! ^^ That's how I found your blog :) x
ReplyDeleteHave you entered to win one of the dresses from my blog? ;) http://www.dandygiveaway.com Good luck! I hope you win all 20 dresses!
