seventeen.

Watching The Real Housewives of New York City season finale!  For whatever reason, my family and I like watching this series. Too much fun. Sometimes it hurts my brain to know that some of these ladies who live the high life, can be so self-absorbed!  If only there were great, wealthy individuals who weren't so obnoxious and still fun to watch.  Next week is New Jersey. (hahaha) It's going to be crazy. I have family from there. So should be a good one. 

Today is my brother, Michael's birthday. My, he's grown a lot. I feel incredibly old (We're nine years apart). Pasta night and birthday cake. I can't wait.

Michael (L) and Matthew (R), after Melissa's HS graduation. (2006)

I guess I'm lazy to find a more recent picture. 

As much as I love musical theater, I'm not the most knowledgeable.  But I love the music. And there's this one song, "A New Life" from the musical Jekyll & Hyde.  So beautiful. Lyrics are fabulous. The lady who sings on the soundtrack, has this vulnerability and strength in her voice. Made me want to tear up. Doesn't mean I did. lol.  My friend, Danielle, sang this song at her senior recital. 

Anywhooo....g'nite!
