"Pink. Fuzzy. HANDCUFFS!"

I got to see "It's A Wonderful Life" in Soledad to see Chris perform.
(Thank you parents for driving 2 1/2 hours there and back, I love thee very much.)

On the way there, we talked about various subjects that brought great joy to my life.

'Mom: "Gonzales? I've never heard of them before. I've heard of Soledad, because they have a prison. But I like Gonzales since they have an airport!"
Dad: "That's a water tower."
Me: "I like them because they have a water tower!"
Dad: "I like this town since it has a street named Gloria."'

'Mom: "We should rate the trucks again, what would you rate that one? I'd give it a 1. There aren't any pretty lights on that one"
Me: "I'd give it a 1.5, I'm nice."
Mom: "Oh, the front looks good!"
Me: "Fine, 1.7."'

'Me: "Mom, we should play the bird game!"
Mom: "But there are no birds, it's raining!"
Me: "EXACTLY."'

(For those who don't the bird game, it's where you count the birds on the electric poles and if you have more than 26 [since you compete with the person who is playing the ABC game] you win.)

As we get into Soledad, we look off into the left and we see a lot of lights in the distance.

'Mom: "I bet that's the prison over there with all of the lights."
Me: "Let's go and check it out!"
Dad: "We can always stop by and visit at Christmas."'

Then of course we finally watch the play.

Of course Mr. Potter is a very important character so I must watch carefully and compare.

(Chris, I need a picture of you as Potter!)

Lessee here...

Stacy
*Amazing make-up
*Remembered all of her lines
*Said the fritterin' line (AHEM CHRIS.)
*Had an amazing funny goon
*Very stern

Chris
*Awesome hair (Okay, Stacy had awesome hair too)
*Good character voice
*Funny with creepy laughter, especially when he stuck out his tongue
(Yes, my parents and I judged)
*Actually stood up during one scene with help
*Very good hand motions

Also, it was amusing seeing him walk around the back side of the room with his wheelchair stealthily and I watched him like a hawk haha.

So, just because I know Stacy doesn't read my blog and if she does, sorry.

I must say I liked Chris better. xD
(Or maybe I'm just biased since he's my husband.)


My parents said that Chris was very polite and formal. He called my Mom ma'am. xD

Then on the way back home it was thrilling too... sort of.

We talked about if only we had that GPS Dad is going to get for Christmas...

'Dad: "If only we had a GPS we'd know how to get back on 101 North..."
Me: "If only we had a GPS we'd know where 7-11 is..."
Dad: "If only we had a GPS we'd know where Baskin Robbins is..."
Mom: "Come on, you're getting your GPS in 8 days, you can wait!"'

We stop by the gas station and as we leave someone honks at us.

'Dad: "I don't see why they're honking at us."
Mom: "It's Soledad, they have a prison here!"
Me: "Mom, that's like saying, 'It's Stockton, people get shot here!'

Also, I was thinking, "It's Morgan Hill, vice principals stab their husbands here!"'

After wards, we passed by a search light in Salinas.

'Mom: "Oh look, they have an airport too!"
Me: "Of course it's not an airport, it's a search light for the prison."
Mom: "No, it's so the airplanes know where to land."
Me: "I still say it's for the prison.'

Then we finally found a 7-11 and it was a joyous occasion! It made me happy. My Dad and I got a "Snow Fruit" Slurpee, aka Lemon-Lime with Grapefruit in it.
(Makes no sense, I know.)

Then I believe we said again,

"If only we had that GPS again we'd know where to get on 101 North..."

As we arrived at home the song, 'Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer" came on.

Which is probably one of my most FAVORITEST songs of all time.
(I wish they had a font for sarcasm)

It's a wonderful life.

  1. The whole evening was one of pure delight and great joy--because we were together as a family! And I did like Chris' rendition of Mr. Potter. He was evil and diabolical in a humorous kind of way.
