Writing up a quick Friday Five before work today—I opted to do daycare dropoff instead of pickup, because I'm seeing Practical Magic 2 later, which I'm excited about. Cactus Blossom from Texas Roadhouse What I've been up to this week: Eating out and getting takeout . Last Saturday, my husband and I went to Texas Roadhouse for a late lunch, around 3pm, and my parents watched Baby K for us. I hadn't been in exactly a year, it seemed, also on Sept. 19, because it came up in FB memories for that day. We split the Cactus Blossom (I had a free app coupon, which was nice) and I also got the NY Strip steak along with the Caesar salad, loaded sweet baked potato, and of course their signature rolls.  On Sunday, Baby K and I met a friend at Guernsey's, and I had their two-piece chicken with mashed potatoes; it was very good but a bit pricey IMO ($12) for the amount of food I got. I also picked up a half-gallon of Mackinac Island peanut butter fudge ice cream to take home. On W...

This week went by super fast for some reason, and I'm glad it's Friday because I've had a cough all week, so I'm hoping I can get more rest this weekend to kick it.  & Juliet, Fisher Theatre, Detroit What I've been up to this week: Seeing & Juliet at the Fisher Theatre. I had been looking forward to this one but wasn't entirely familiar with its plot, other than it was a twist on Romeo & Juliet . A friend mentioned it's a jukebox musical, and I was like, what's that? Turns out it used pop songs from the last 20-25 years or so and it was a TON of fun—it probably ranks up there with my top musicals now (in case you're wondering: Waitress and Phantom of the Opera ). It's at the Fisher until April 12, and you can find more info about it here . Going to Sam's Club . Not the most exciting thing in the world, but we left Baby K with my parents last Saturday and had a quick lunch at Culver's by ourselves and went to Sam's, because...
