Yes/No Detroit

It's Friday the 13th, and I'm working till around 2pm today (I have a doctor appt. at 2:30pm) and then I'm off to Dallas for work on Sunday. Phantom of the Opera, Detroit Opera House What I've been up to this week: Phantom of the Opera  at the Detroit Opera House. Phantom is one of my two favorite musicals (the other being Waitress ) so I was super excited for this one. My friend who was supposed to babysit unfortunately texted me a few days before saying she was sick, but thankfully my parents were able to pinch-hit as babysitters. They've revamped the special effects a bit this time and the musical was REALLY good— it'll be at the Opera House until February 15th , and I highly recommend it. Getting takeout/delivery . We only had a short time window before Phantom on Friday, so I picked up Potbelly for us—after ordering from them the week before, they had given me a free sandwich deal in the app. On Sunday I was supposed to have lunch with a friend but I was fe...

This week went by rather fast, and also had a lot of delicious foods, as my boyfriend's parents were in town so we went out with them a few times. This weekend is shaping up to be busy, too: I'm meeting a friend at Ocean Prime later for happy hour (even though I don't eat seafood, haha, but they have other things too), then seeing a movie. Tomorrow I'm hanging out with friends in Ann Arbor and on Sunday my boyfriend and I are seeing the Beach Boys at Meadow Brook.  What I've been up to this week: Seeing "Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations"   at the Detroit Opera House . This was probably one of the best musicals I've seen in quite a while. On Wednesday, a friend and I carpooled to Detroit, had dinner at Mootz (more on that below), and went to see this, at the Opera House. Because it was technically the "opening night" (even though the first performance was Tues.), they had a red carpet, and a lot of celebrities attende...
