Making a fool of oneself at the opera

[mojosmom]

Well, maybe not so much. I'm not the only one who needed tissues. We saw Madame Butterfly last night. No matter how many times I see it, and no matter how many times I say to myself, "Not this time!", I weep buckets. After the performance, as we left, the man who had been sitting next to me said, "I take it you liked it?" and I confessed to my weakness.

We had dinner at Corner Bakery down the street beforehand, but I brought our dessert:


And here is one of the pair of shoes I bought yesterday:

The other is a pair of black leather boots, and a good thing, too, because it's snowing. I'm not sure if it's "again" or "still". It was snowing when I left the opera last night, and commented to someone "from cherry blossoms to snow"!

Love. Those. Shoes.

enigmacat and Avanta7 can have the shoes (which I also adore!) - But I'd like the chocolate!

Please.

O.o

I just went to their website. It's a good job that I wasn't in charge of deciding upon what selections of chocolate blends should be included in the Inauguration Chocolate parcel.

My choice would have *had* to have included a BlackBerry selection...

Oh, gosh, you are so right!

Yummy-sounding chocolates, and gorgeous shoes!

Shoe lust!

[islandmomma.livejournal.com]

I lust too. Big time. If I could have those shoes I could never eat chocolae again!

I am in total agreement about "Madame Butterfly". I haven't seen it for years, but in my memory it's a firm favorite. "Tosca" is on tv here tonight!!! Just hope I don't fall asleep after my super-late night last night!

I get Kenya, Hawaii, and Kansas, but what is the Tennessee connection?

Cool shoes!

[mojosmom.livejournal.com]

I can't figure that out, and neither can anyone else I've discussed it with!

The Tennessee connection might be

That during Mr. Obama's bid for the office there was a thwarted assassination attempt out of Tennessee...

That's the only thing that I can think of.

:/

Somehow, I don't think that's the sort of thing one commemorates in chocolate! Though someone did suggest that it refers to the fact that he lost there ("sour"), but I think that's a stretch, too!

Hee!

Now that you mention it -
You're right.
;o)

I bet that's it! "Sour mash" = "sour grapes" maybe?

I love the shoes too! I bought some recently that are very similar but in black.

[alrescate.livejournal.com]

I very rarely care much about shoes...if they cover my feet then I'm happy. Those, however, are making me experience shoe lust for the first time!

Thanks!

That's probably the most expensive box of chocolates I've ever bought, but I've ordered a box of the Inauguration special for a lovely lady here who is a huge fan of Obama. Eighty years old and a total sweetie,

A big thank you for putting me onto the site!

Re: Thanks!

You're very welcome! I will pass that on to the friend who sent them to me (the same woman who sent me that big Zabar's box - I blame her for much of my holiday weight gain!).
