Charlie & Grandpa Joe, the sequel

If, like me, you’re not a chocolate eater, you might wonder, “What are golden tickets good for anyway?”

Here’s your answer:

Gershwin Theater on Broadway in 2008 – note the lack of a happy girl in the photo (no ticket).
Gershwin Theater on Broadway in 2009 – note the very happy girl in the photo on her way up the stairs to see Wicked (ticket in hand).
Or

Midnight premier of Twilight in 2008 – note the happy girl.
Pre-screening of New Moon in 2009 – yep, the happy girl again.Do I think happiness is all about picking the right candy bar? No. But, I do think it might just have something to do with enjoying the candy bar you get. Happily, I like Starburst and Skittles. :)

Special thanks to my boss for sending me to New York for a work conference, and to my sister-in-law for getting me tickets to see Edward two years in a row.

By the way – I might be the only one counting, but just in case I’m not: 1 year, 1 month and 10 days to chocolate.

LOVE that you got into Wicked this time - yay!! Sounds like a successful trip to me! We're actually quite excited for you to start eating chocolate again, too. You should put a countdown ticker on your blog.

I like starburst and skittles as well. Do you want me to line you up with Edward?

Sher - thanks for the great idea! This ticker was the best I could find - if anyone knows of a better one, let me know.

Raymon - yes, of course! (Unless you mean Rob Pattinson, cuz I'm talking about THE Edward, not the guy playing like he's a vampire.) Hahaha
