Apparently I really don't want to do homework...

My "Waiting" blog has been mostly written in my school notebook and I was all set to type it up and post when I realized I didn't bring my homework dogsitting. So I figured I'd pick it up yesterday when I ran home. I got it all together and put it next to my purse and last night I start looking for it again and can't find it anywhere. Apparently I really don't want to do my homework because I left it at home again! I don't really want to rewrite it so I'll just have to wait on that again.

Instead I'll just post some pictures and tell you about my Friday night. Friday I went to see The Lion King, the play not the movie. It was awesome. The theater has a private box on each side that was filled with drums and other weird instruments. Since we were up in the Balcony we had a great view of them. The costumes were amazing. It was so completely different and unique. I really loved that they used the entire theater. During the first scene there were singers in the boxes with the drums and animals paraded in down the aisles. During the first scene of the second act there were actors with birds in the balcony and all over. Not real birds of course but a super long stick with a bird on a string at the end. They waved the birds in a circle to look like they were flying. It was cool seeing the actors up close. Overall the show was awesome. The songs that were added to make it longer were ok but not really that great. Rafiki was easily the best character. When the cast came out for bows I was shocked how small a cast it was. There were so many people on stage most of the show that it seemed like there should have been more people.

Every year around this time the actors in broadway plays all around the country, take a moment after the show to talk about Broadway Cares. Broadway Cares started out as a fund-raising organization for AIDS. Since it started it has branched out and donates money to all different causes. In the lobby after the show they had signed posters for sale as well as pictures with 2 of the actors. Last year when I saw rent I got a cast signed playbill. The posters this year were way cooler.

At the theater I finally took my purple folder picture. For those who don't know most people, especially in the facebook group, take a picture with the purple folder that Disney sends when you get in. This is both fun and helpful when requesting new CP friends. For those of you who haven't seen it yet here is a link for our facebook group.

And here is my purple folder picture.



Here are a couple other random Disney picture for your enjoyment.
