3 Confessions Tag

1. I own an N'Sync CD. Yes I really do. I own "No Strings Attached". I'm of the opinion that everyone needs to own one boy band CD. So I picked N'Sync. On the boy band note, I'm also a New Kids on the Block fan. I loved them when I was younger and am excited they are back together. I was a huge Jonathan and Joey fan. I had the NKOTB pajamas, trading cards, bubble gum, tapes, comic books, t-shirt, concert on video and other things. I even have a Joey action figure, still in the box!! I was tempted to take it with me to have him autograph it when I saw him in Wicked on Broadway, but I didn't. I didn't want him to think I was more of a geek then I am. Maybe that should have been my 2nd confession. Oh well!

2. I like escargot. Yes, snails. I tried them for the first time on an Alaskan cruise. Cruises are the best place to try new things. If you don't like it, they bring you something else and it doesn't cost any different. My husband will order two entrees so he can try both. He wouldn't eat all of it but he wanted to try everything. The escargot just taste like a piece of meat. If you don't think about what you are eating, it's fine. It's best when soaked in garlic and butter, like most things. I also tried caviar. It's ok. Not the best thing, not the worst thing.

3. I had a funny confession but I can't think of what it was. I'll have to add it later when I remember. So my last confession will be a list of some of the parts/rolls I want to play and haven't. This list is the musical parts: Maria in "Sound of Music", Jane Eyre "Jane Eyre", Jo in "Little Women", The Bakers Wife in "Into the Woods", Tracy Turnblad in "Hairspray", The Drowsy Chaperone in "The Drowsy Chaperone", Mother in "Ragtime", Eponine in "Les Miserables", Ms. Hannigan in "Anne", Cathy Seldon in "Singin in the Rain", and Molly Brown in "The Unsinkable Molly Brown". This is just some of them. I'll list the plays I want to be in later.

I know I'm supposed to tag others now, but it seems I might be the last person to do this tag. If you haven't posted a 3 Confession tag then I am tagging you. :)

Thank you for being you and being in my life.

Ecclesiastes 3

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Future Dorthy

My neice and nephew has their tonsils taken out and tubes put in their ears on Monday. They are not the happiest of campers at the moment. When the pain meds kick in they have some engery but a lot of the time they just sit in your lap and cuddle (my favorite part). To help cheer them up I went to Target and got them each a gift. I got Duncan (he didn't have his tonsils out or tubes in his ears but I got him something anyways) a Transformer t-shirt. I got Zack a pair of Batman slippers. I think they might be too small, so might need to get a bigger size. And I got Brooklyn a pair of Ruby Slippers like in The Wizard of Oz. When I saw them, I about died. They are soooo cute!! She, of course, loved them. She was a bit winey when I first got there but once I showed her the shoes, she had a big smile on her face. Below is a picture of just her shoes and then a picture of her wearing her shoes. Yes, she is absolutely adorable!!

Happy Birthday Megan!!

Just wanted to wish you a very very Happy Birthday Megan!! I know it was yesterday but I'm wishing you a Happy Birthday today!!

Thanks for being just a wonderful friend! You are a true treasure! I'm so glad that we were finally involved in a show together. Some of you might not know this, but Megan and I became friends through auditions. We were at auditions and call-backs for three different shows at the Grand and became friends from seeing each other at them so much. I was soooo excited when you walked into Bye Bye Birdie auditions. My thought was, "Finally! I can get to know her better!" Thanks for letting me come to Vegas with you and experience the Star Trek Experience with you. And thanks for being my date on Wednesday!!

Love you tons!!!

Last Party

As many of you are aware, I am the Activites Co-Chair for my ward with my husband. We haven't enjoyed our calling as much as others enjoy their callings. We have enjoyed the opportunity to meet others in the ward through the calling but the activites always seem to come at the most stressful times of the year. We are going to be released from our calling (yeah!) soon.

Saturday was our last party that we planned before our release. It turned out better then we thought. The hardest part was that our committed consisted of about 10-12 people but only 2 people showed up to help. I'm soooooo beyond greatful for Hutch and all of the hard work that he put into this party. With rehearsals taking up most of my time, I couldn't help out as much as I needed to. But everything came together in the end and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

We had hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, chips, beans and popsicles. For the entertainment we had Karaoke. Yes. We had Karaoke. It was our Bishop's idea. We had more people participate then I thought would. Our Bishop was one of the first ones to get up and sing. He sang a U2 song. (he's a HUGE U2 fan) He wasn't the best singer but he had fun! It really helped to have the support of the Bishop because after he sang, we had a bunch of people want to get up and sing. We had a lot of quiet people come out of their shells and perform. It was a lot of fun!! And I'm glad I don't have to plan anymore.

But again, a special thanks to my loving husband Hutch. Thank you for running around and taking care of everyone. For lifting all of the heavy things. For making sure I got dinner even though you didn't get to eat until late and your food was cold. For getting people to sign up for Karaoke that wouldn't normally volunteer. For being such a wonderful priesthood holder. And for being my best friend. I love you!!
