The Who’s Tommy at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre

By

Last Sunday, my mom, sister, and I enjoyed a fun outing together – just the 3 of us. We headed up to Portsmouth, New Hampshire for lunch and a show. Now that my sister and I have little ones, it’s tough for all of us to get together like we used to, but we made it a priority this time. When I discovered that my cousin Andrea was going to be in The Who’s Tommy at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre (thanks, Facebook), I immediately texted my family about going together.

In high school, I was obsessed with Tommy. Obsessed. I owned the soundtrack from the musical as well as The Who’s album, posters in my bedroom, and I even rented the (super weird) movie version on VHS. I actually saw Tommy on Broadway back in the mid-90s as well as at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium and Northwestern University (an ex-boyfriend went there). Basically, my love for this musical runs deep, so when I heard that Andrea was going to be Mrs. Walker (one of the main characters), I could not miss it!

Our family day date started early on Sunday morning. The three of us met at my sister’s house and then drove up to Portsmouth together. Once we found a place to park, we grabbed lunch at the Portsmouth Brewery.

The food was actually better than I expected. I thought it would be pretty standard pub food, but the garden salad with grilled salmon was loaded with fresh greens (spinach, kale), beans, and shredded cheese.

It was so nice catching up with my mom and sister – we really need to make these get-togethers more of a regular thing!

After lunch, we stopped by Kilwins for a sweet treat. 10 pounds of chocolate? 🙂

We decided on a box of chocolate truffles to share, which was a deeeelicious decision!

After that, we walked over to the theater for Tommy.

The production was so, so, so good! The music was exactly how I remembered it and the actors and actresses were awesome, especially my cousin who killed it. She was SO AMAZING!

Question of the Day

Any musical fans out there? If so, what’s your favorite one?

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
