Wanna Get High With Me?
No, I don���t do drugs. I���ve never even tried marijuana, ever. I���m talking about this new fitness workout called HIGH FITNESS, and it���s KILLER! It���s sort of like old school aerobics but with plyo moves like burpees, jump tucks, and squat jumps, as well as some hip-hop moves, all to way fun pop songs. Trust me, it���s a blast!

A friend took my daughter and me to a HIGH class that Emily (the founder of HIGH FITNESS) taught. Oh my word--she kicked my butt! I had to leave class three different times . . . to get a drink . . . because my throat was dry. No seriously, because I thought I was going to DIE and so I had to take a ton of breaks! But don���t tell anyone that.

Here���s an after pic:

Then, on the airplane I got bumped to first class (love it when that happens), but I gave the upgrade to my tall, 6���3 brother. I know, #coolestbigsisteraward.
Here are my reviews of the shows we saw:

ANASTASIA: A

(Loved it! The stage set was unbelievable!)

WILLIE WONKA: A-

(The minus is because they didn���t include the ���fizzy lifting drink��� scene, the lick-able wall-paper, or the final culminating scene when Charlie gives back the everlasting gobstopper and Mr. Wonka whispers, ���So shines a good deed in a weary world.��� On the other hand, they did away with the ���Cheer Up Charlie��� song which should be worth something. Overall, completely entertaining!) DEAR EVAN HANSEN: I can���t even���

I don���t even know what to give this show. Ben Platt gave the most amazing, raw, real performance I���ve ever seen in my life. Too real. There is no way someone can give a performance like that every day for a year and it not affect them. I wanted to reach out to him and tell him to stop doing the show. He���s going to be a psychological mess, if he isn���t already.

After the show, I seriously had to remind myself that there are normal people out there and not everyone is all screwed up. Cuz life is awesome, even when it���s not, because if it���s not today, it will be tomorrow, or at some point, if you choose to make it awesome.

Anyway, here���s to all the normal people out there. Stay awesome!
