I'm not one to usually get disappointed over not getting something or not being able to afford something I want. But when I found out Wicked was coming to Orlando but was sold out, I was really bummed. I missed it when they came to Tampa last year, and was disappointed then, so this was a double dose of it. But, in the end, I did my sulking and moved on, per usual.

Shawn kept checking Ticketmaster, though, and when they opened up a matinée show on the day after opening night... we got tickets. Way in the back, but still -- Wicked tickets!

That was more or less all of our grocery money for the week (almost $30 in fees), but, really, Wicked > food. I've already started singing Popular around the house when no one else is home.
