On our trip we listened to the Wicked soundtrack quite a bit. Lydia has painted her face green several times since, I assume in honor of Elphaba. When she’s this thorough, it seems like there is green on her face for a week after, even after she’s scrubbed and scrubbed.
In the evening I had a long phone with my friend from grad school, Hilary. She called while we were in Arizona so I had been meaning to get in touch with her ever since. It was fun to catch up!
