I have to start this post with a shout out to my good buddy Jon Fairbanks for introducing me to the ABBA gold album over 8 years ago on a little road trip to Vegas. Ah, memories. Since then, Trev and I have loved that album. It's got such a great beat, and you will often find all of us dancing and singing to it in the car. Yes, all of us. The girls LOVE it.
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical of the premise of Mamma Mia in a play. So, I haven't seen it...then the movie came out. Again, hadn't seen the play, so wasn't really planning on making this movie a priority. Well, my mom and sister and sister-in-law saw it last weekend, and they just raved about it. So, I got a little excited to go see it.
Well, yesterday, due to a little tropical storm (named Edouard) headed straight for Houston...Trevor didn't have to go to work. Yeah us! Then, the "so called" storm that was supposed to be a category 1 hurricane when it made landfall, was just a typical rainy day in Houston. Nothing to even write home about. We were a little disappointed...oh wait, relieved should be the word. I guess we're a little starved for some excitement? Anywho, the storm came, it was a dud, but we had been indoors all day, so we got a babysitter and went out to see the aformentioned movie.
I loved, loved LOVED it! Want to see it again and again. If your are not much for musicals, then this is probably not the movie for you. But if you don't mind the characters bursting into song rather frequently, then you will love it too!

I plan to go see this when I come home this next week with my sister who just got engaged... I just can't resist! Hopefully, I'll like it as much as you did!!! :)
OK- So I have been in non-blogging mode, too. So, I have just caught up on all your summer stuff... YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN BUSY! I am jealous of your new carpet. Our carpet isn't that old... its just cheap... and I would love new stuff! And, who doesn't like people randomly bursting into song?
You know, it's too bad that people today don't just burst into song at any moment. That would make the world a happier place, I think! :) I saw the movie. It was fun, but I think I'd like it more if I were to go see the musical live. Anyone want to go to Vegas?
The musical live it AWESOME!! I have seen in twice in Vegas. I haven't seen the movie yet. I am scared it won't be as good as the play. Oh, I don't know what to do!?
Sorry Edouard was such a dud! I was thinking about you guys when the news was hyping it up hoping that you wouldn't be hit too bad- but yes, it would have been exciting!
Can't wait to see the movie. Can I just say Disco Saturday Night at Classic Skating?
I grew up on ABBA--I of course loved the movie too (even if Meryl was a little crazy and manic in the beginning)! Could the wedding dresses have been more beautiful?
I'm glad you said you liked it...I've been trying to decide if it would be worth going to, so mayble we'll try to catch it. I'm all for breaking out into song!
