Cloudy with a chance of sooie

Sheila E was right. I do want to lead the glamorous life. And I don't need a man's touch.

I mean, Spandau Ballet aside, I was seldom exposed to culture like the theatre, symphony or ballet. This much is true. (Ok, enough with obscure 80s pop references.)

As a kid, we took two major vacations: the Grand Canyon and LA to visit relatives. It's not like we were poor. It's just that it never occurred to us to take exciting trips or go glamorous places. Until I was in college, I'd never stayed in a hotel without doors on the outside.

So how did I get to be this girl? The chick who gets to travel, go to the theatre, and sit in the skybox at Razorback games?

Friday night I met some new friends in Tulsa for a fabulous dinner at the Daily Grill, then seats at "Mamma Mia!" If you liked the movie, you have to go see the musical. The movie is good, campy fun, but the show is even more so. I smiled nearly the whole time, which was quite a while. I got home around 1:30 a.m.

And then yesterday, I met Estella in Fayetteville where we met up with some of her Mountain Home pals to head to Razorback Stadium and sit in a skybox. Seriously. So not only do you have an awesome view of the game, you have free food (stuff like shrimp and prime rib) and booze. I always said I was hesitant to sit in one of those things because you don't feel a part of the game, but they have windows that open, so it's just like you're in the stands, except for the private bathroom and fabulous food.

So yeah, I thought it would great. I had no idea how great it would be. Now it will be hard to go back to sitting in the cheap seats.

Sometimes it's great being me.
