"Wicked"

So, last weekend these awesome and generous friends of ours asked us to go to a musical with them in Denver at the Center for the Preforming Arts...they said that they had bought the tickets almost two years ago and that the tickets were almost gone then! The "show" was a Broadway musical called "Wicked" which just so happened to be the book I had been reading at the time-how perfect! So we drove down to Denver and met our friends for dinner, and then to the show. The seats were in the center, third row! It was so perfect! "Wicked" was so much better than I dreamed-it was awesome! So I had a blast! I feel so lucky, blessed and cultured ;)

"Miss Cranky Pants"

I am writing a children's book about my daughter Emma. Well, I have already written it-and I have my friend Tai painting the pictures for it. I have an agent-and now I am just waiting for a publisher to find me. The Children's Literary Agency is at a huge publishers conference in D.C. this week and they will be exibiting my story to the many publishing companys...please pray that someone likes it! I would love to get my book published this year-cause I have more waiting! We will see. Other than that-I am staying home with the girls this summer, we are swimming, going to the park, the children's museum, on bike rides, the farmer's market, they are helping me with my property management job (so generous of me to say "helping")and I am trying to find time to work on my homework for my Master's Degree and fitting in shifts at the conference center where I bartend and waitress, and I am helping out the local florist with some weddings... SO, there it is: a peek into my crazy life...now I'm sure you may need a nap ;) ha ha
