Is May Seriously Over Part III

The last few weeks of May are a bit of a blur. I was so busy trying to get out of the office (for a trip to Puerto Rico), that I did not do much else. Somewhere in there I:

1. Celebrated Mindy's 29th birthday. I brought blueberry cheesecake from Gourmandies: The Bakery. YUMMY!

2. Won an award at Inns of Court. Inns of Court is a professional organization that combines socializing with continuing legal education. I'm in the fun Inn (i.e. we drink). Each year it picks a book and all of our presentations revolve around that book. This year we read Missing Witness, a legal thriller. I got the award for the best Doug MacKenzie. I know I should be flattered to win an award for acting in front of so many attorneys, but . . . the part I was playing was the inexperienced/incompetent associate. :)

3. Got in a few more bike rides, mostly on Dry Creek.

4. Went to an unsuccessful (only 1 person--not me--read the book) book club.

5. Went to see Miss Saigon at the PTC. I was SO excited to see how this play compared to Madam Butterfly, on which it is (loosely) based. I was surprised at how much more emotional I was in this version because the soldier actually cared about the Asian girl. It made the devastating ending all that more tragic. The set was AMAZING! It even included a helicopter exit. I am always amazed to see what a fantastic job PTC, a regional theater, does with these large productions. The actors are SO talented, the sets and costumes are so intricate, and the seats are so inexpensive. Next year's line-up is out already; get your tickets now!

6. And spent a weekend at Jess and Sarah's cabin (to celebrate Carrie's birthday).

The day I flew out to Puerto Rico, I had a deposition that I thought would end before noon. It ended at 2. I still had a filing that afternoon. I finally got out of the office at 5. I hurried home to pack and attend a BBQ at Jeremy and Leslie's. Rod dropped me off at the airport at 11. It was a LONG day (and night).
