No one mourns the Wicked...

Except me. And a bunch of other people who didn't get tickets either I guess. But definitely me. I knew it was popular, and I knew it would sell out, but I didn't think it would sell out quite so fast. In only one short day, well, less actually, every ticket to dear old shiz was snatched away.

I was feeling so wonderful knowing that Wicked was coming to SLC, and made big plans to get tickets and give them to my family as Christmas presents. I did lots of research and found out when exactly tickets would be available, marked it on my calender, got all the phone numbers ready, and said "thank goodness" I have a cell phone so I can call during my lunch hour at work.

Friday the 12th came around, and I got everything packed up and headed off to work. My eyes were on the clock as soon as it hit ten o'clock, but I kept working till lunch came around. I hurried up to my office and pulled out my cell phone and realized something bad was going on, no reception on my cell! What is this feeling?? Total frustration! With no other way to order tickets at work, I forced myself to be patient and get back to work instead of running home and ordering tickets from my computer and coming back late from lunch. Well, as they say, no good deed goes unpunished. As fast as I ran home you might have thought I was defying gravity, but it was to no avail. Some people out there got tickets for their families, but I'm not that girl.  Call me a sentimental (wo)man, but I nearly cried when I realized those tickets are sold out for good. 

So now I am suddenly faced with figuring out what on earth to do for Christmas this year. I have spent the last few months dancing through life planning this gift, not giving a thought to any other ideas. The wizard and I were gonna have some great fun... sad life!
