Jenny Fest Part 1



I just got back from Omaha. I was there visiting my "sister" Jenn. (For more on that, see this blog post).

She is the female lead in a hilarious and sexy musical, "Reefer Madness." She plays a sweet little teenage girl who eventually becomes a dominating sex kitten after being introduced to marijuana. Jenn was gorgeous and brilliant in the production and I couldn't have been prouder. She has the most amazing voice I have ever heard in my life and I have no doubt she will be a big Broadway star after she graduates with her Masters next spring.



After the musical, we hung out and I got to meet some of her old college buddies and her new boyfriend (who is awesome). We had a few drinks and talked the night away. It was lovely.

The next day, after I had a goodbye breakfast with Jenn and her boyfriend, I met back up with my parents at their hotel. We spent the rest of the day downtown, browsing through fabulous boutiques, eating lunch at a quaint little cafe, and walking around an art fair, before heading home.



It was a perfect weekend.

What's even better is that Jenn is coming to visit me tomorrow in my town and will stay for a couple days. I'm so excited! So now this time she will get to meet my friends and see my boyfriend again and see all my hangouts! So exciting!

I'm hoping this week is just as wonderful...

LOL!!!!!! I read the first paragraph and I thought "Your parents named you both Jennifer?" Sounds like a fun weekend. I haven't seen a musical in ages. I went to see RENT in April. :O Speaking of which, maybe Jenn will be the next Maureen on Broadway!

It sounds like you had such an awesome weekend! Your talented "sister" Jenn reminds me of my closet fantasy of starring in a Broadway musical. Unfortunately, I can not sing, dance or act. So I stick to watching Judy Garland and Gene Kelly!

i never know how to reply to blog comments, but i often want to, so i'll do it here so that you get notified. :) i totally understand what you're saying about passing on the rolled jeans. i did it today and it worked okay, but there have been many new trends i've passed on because of negative childhood associations. hope your week is off to a good start, lovee.
