We went to see Mary Poppins Thursday at the Orpheum theater in Omaha. Great performance. The 2:00 matinee...not so great. So, we left the house at 12:45 thinking this is the time frame we usually give ourselves (45 minutes) to get to downtown Omaha. We usually have enough time to park for free and walk a couple of blocks to the theater and there's no problem...

Our usual free parking, during the day is metered. And none were available. GAH!! So we circle the area a couple of times. By now, it's 1:50 and we still have to walk about 5 blocks. So, we pay $10 for parking (the going rate around here) and hoof it to the theater. We pick our tickets up at Will Call and get in. Everyone is rushing us, saying, "Less than a minute until the curtain goes up. You'd better hurry!" Of course, we both have to make a pit stop! LOL  So, we get to our seats in time and thankfully with empty bladders, we sit down. The curtains don't go up for another 3 or 4 minutes! Whew.

If you're a fan of the movie, let me just tell you, the stage play diverts in places... there are scenes that aren't in the movie and some scenes in the movie aren't in the play. Sort of disconcerting. Okay, I knew the carousel and fox hunt couldn't happen in real life, although they could've done the tea on the ceiling with wires... But still!

Overall, it was a good show. The seats we had were really good. We were on the right side of the loge in the "wings" I guess you'd call them. We will be on the other side for the next performance.

Sorry I didn't get this posted on Friday when I started it. LOL  Sometimes, life happens.

Oh, and lest I forget... I've lost a total of 23 pounds!!! We go until the 10th of February. So, in essence 11 more days. We'll see what comes off between now and then! I'll keep you posted.

Until then!
