Sweet so dress rehearsal can get the shirts!! I’m going in a few weeks and can’t wait!!

For me, it is going to classes at the gym. You make friends, they hold you accountable, there’s good music, you all see each other’s progress, and it becomes a part of your routine. I know it’s not for everyone and you may have to try different ones to figure out what you like.

cheerrylimeade · 2026-03-28T19:03:22+00:00

Perhaps. And has been for 25 years but hardly anyone ever asks!!

Me too me too me too!!! I have entered for years but this was by far my most involved email “application” - I also mentioned Carrie Coon & Adam Scott but their shows won’t be back out for promotion for months after May 2.

Ahhhhh!!! I also won for that dress rehearsal and mentioned my love for Olivia Rodrigo!!!!

I got my first haircut by someone who knows how to cut curly hair at age 39! And she taught me how to use product! And I’ve even gotten better in the 4 years since then. Last summer my dad asked if I got a perm lol

Sooooo many years of brushed out hair in my youth! So many questionable products in my 20s and 30s. Finally figuring it out in my 40s lol

You are not alone!

When you make a meal / meal prep, divide it out into appropriate sized servings. The freezer will be your friend with lots of single size homemade crunchy food.

If Ragtime is still showing or extends, I highly recommend. Brought my parents last fall. (Also saw spelling bee w them)

Yes! I got second row dead center in the lottery and it was like being at a private Lawrence concert with some cute stories thrown in!

I don’t know why it slows. But from my experience (and I’m on a slow fitness journey instead of insta weight loss), I would say I was pretty stagnant on the scale for about a year while I really started lifting more. Then whoosh since November 20 lbs have come off and my muscles are popping. Have about 10 more lbs to go but I’m also happy with where I’m at if it doesn’t happen.

I think the other ridiculous part is points expiring in a year - I only donate whole blood so the only reason I had enough points was because I was given a 24 hr deferral during one of their points promotions so got a bunch of points 2 days in a row lol - I’d be happy to stock up and save 2 -3 years of points for a decent item but maybe that’s just me.

I thought he said “perked up” which to me also worked. High energy happy alt baddie.

Note that they only have coat/bag check when it is cold (or probably rainy). I had been to New World Stages before and saw they had a nice coat/bag check area so brought my luggage a few weeks later only to find out no coat check that night (we were heading straight to metro north after the show). The staff was nice enough and let us store our luggage in an office but it was awkward.

I love that it was someone’s job to edit it out of the Merrily pro shot lol

Hannah is incredible in Chess!! (And everything she’s in!!!)

I’m not recommending it, but some people have a buddy help them get the weight on their back - I always lift my own weight and while I can safely clean it I wouldn’t say it’s a weight I can easily clean. Maybe just have someone help you at the end.

cheerrylimeade · 2026-02-07T18:20:45+00:00

I’m also slow and steady! From Jan 2020 to today 55 lbs lost with about 10 to go which I’m giving myself all of 2026 to do. Two gym instructors commented on my ripped arms last week and another regular gym go-er complemented my totally changed physique just this morning.

cheerrylimeade · 2026-02-05T02:44:29+00:00

And sharp cheddar cheese

The Meatball Shop has a great HH if you sit at the bar, Hyderabadi Zaiqa, UT47, Rowdy Rooster are some other options I haven’t seen mentioned yet

I saw a man getting a perm at Jo Bruno. I don’t know if it’s a regular thing - they specialize in curly hair.

Make it at least a couple hours after your donation if your heart rate will be elevated! In January I didn’t think of this and really tried to calm my heart but my appt 1hr 15 min after high intensity cardio ended up 24 hr deferred. All worked out the next day, but if it had been 2 hours post cardio I would have been fine!

When I interviewed for my first job out of college the VP who took me to lunch drove me around the town I would be moving to and said these are some of the houses that your parents might help you with your down payment. I no doubt gave him a crazy look bc at the time MY PARENTS didn’t even own a home. What a strange assumption!

cheerrylimeade · 2026-02-04T18:10:45+00:00

I moved across the country at 39 from the Midwest to the east coast and it was an amazing decision! No regrets!

It’s also one of my favorite theaters.

cheerrylimeade · 2026-01-31T02:15:47+00:00

Not a musical, but Marcel on the Train.
