A Wicked Birthday!!!!

< A Wicked birthday that had a very noisy ending! =)

I had a great birthday. Had so many wishes posted on my Facebook wall. I swear I was cleaning out my inbox every hour of all the messages. ;) It was great though!

So I got a Border's gift card from my mom's co-worker's cats, $30 in cash also. I got earrings for my 2nd hole of my birthstone. They are beautiful! =) A sining stuffed animal and a $15 i-tunes gift card. ;) That gift card was recycled from my mom's birthday present! LOL

So Katie had a great time at Wicked last night. =D I got updates all through the day and the 2.5 hours of the show went back really fast for me, but the day went so slow! ;) Bless her heart though, it was pouring down rain and none of the cast stopped at the door to sign autographs. :( I feel so bad for her. I am going to find a way to get her one still. I still got a Happy Birthday wish from one of the cast members, over on my Twitter. So that was just as special! =D

So it was a stormy end to my birthday! VERY STORMY! Pouring down rain here and thunder, lighting and bad wind. I am glad I wasn't in the western part of the state getting the tornados! EEK!

So that's it. Outta here!

The weekend is here! =)

< I love this plant when its in bloom. The flowers are so pretty. =)

The week flew by it seemed!

So my dad had to have a heart caph done today to check on things. Last year he found out that he had 4 (I was told 3) blockages and it has been treated medically. So today he had another done and nothing has changed and I think my mom said one of the arteries improved. =) Such a relief to hear that.

I would love to know where the spring weather went off too!!! It snowed in Ohio 2 inches this morning! And here its getting colder as the day goes on. I have a jacket on! LOL I have been wearing capri pants all week. Blah! Spring needs to either stay or make up its mind! LOL

So YES my birthday is on Sunday!!!! I dunno why I am so excited to turn a year older, but yeah! LOL My birthday present isn't until May 4th, when I see Wicked. =) That is what my parents got me.

Oh my countdown to Wicked in May....I started at 99 days...and today its down to 39! Where in the world has the past 60 days gone? Can't believe it! It will be the end of April before I know it! ;)

So other than cake and cards from family, nothing special with actually happen on my birthday, for me.....but for some one I know, they are doing something I want to go do! LOL =D

Anyways....thats it! I have been cleaning all day and being productive. =)

No Carowinds this year.....

< won't be riding that this year.

I am a thrill seeker and I was YES looking forward to going to Carowinds this year. They are getting a new coaster and they got a new one last year. But I am giving it up for something else. ;)

WICKED!

So worth it. I will be seeing it when they go to Charlotte, YES after being in Durham just 3 weeks before, 2 weeks after my show. =) YAHOO!

If my aunt throws her back out, she can blame it on sitting in the chairs at the theater! LOL That's part of the reason I asked her if she rather go see Wicked. I would hate for her back to go out while we are at Carowinds.

I am getting excited about them coming back this way. Looks like, according to the "news" yesterday, I be seeing some one new as Elphaba and Glinda. And the video I heard of Vicki and Natalie together, they sound AWESOME together! I am bummed about not geting to see Marcie one final time (if this is all true), but I just want the day to get here already! =) It started at 99 days left and now its down to 44 basically now. =)

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss my old bedding all the sudden....

< That's what I am missing.

My brother sent a picture of my niece last night and I saw my old bed and bedding and sheets in the picture. I miss it! :(

Don't get me wrong I love my queen size bed and the new bedding, but I miss my butterfly bedding and all my stuff that went with it. :( I am glad my 8 year old niece is enjoying it, but since she got a full size bed, she's no fun to sleep with when she wants to sleep with me! Two words: BED HOG! LOL

Oy! I can't wait for dinner tonight. My dad is bringing home Tommy's Sub for dinner! They have the most awesome subs and pizza! Ever in Columbus, Ohio...go eat there! They're all over the place in Columbus. ;) One of the many things I miss about Ohio, the other being Cedar Point, Kings Island, Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, COSI, Wynadot Lake (its no longer there...but truly one thing I miss), family and friends....the list goes on. I have a love/hate relationship with "home" but the summer time is when I miss it the most.

Oh yeah and Grandma is coming for a 2 week visit. =D

That's my ramble for today....

The coming weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!

< that plant was in bloom last year and just now getting blooms this year. Its so pretty when its blooming. :)

The coming weeks I hope will go by quickly! But I am so excited!

This weekend, New Moon dvd comes out! Yahoo! :) :) :) Then Sunday I am going to see "Little House on the Prairie the Musical" with Melissa Gilbert. If you don't know who she is, she was the original Laura Ingalls in the TV series. I grew up watching the re-runs of that show, I loved it and still love to pull out the DVD's today and watch it. :) I love the books too. :)

Then March 28th is my birthday! :) Why am I excited, I dunno. I might be getting the best present ever from some one. ;)

Miss Gaia is coming April 5th-9th for her spring break. Yay and Nay on that one! I love my darling little niece, but who knows how she's going to be this time. She loved on me last time, and hated my mom. But usually I am the one she beats up and goes home and tells her mom how terrible I was! :rolls eyes: Shall see what those 5 wonderful days will bring! Of course last time she was only here 4 days, so yeah we will see.

Then Wicked will be right around the corner after that. ;) lol I am so excited to go again! :) Even more exciting if my aunt and I decide to go see them in Charlotte rather than go to Carowinds. Hey, Carowinds will always be there, but seeing Wicked again, may not be. ;) LOL Plus I want to try and drag my mom out to see it too. ;) Especially if the tour gets a new Elphaba like the rumor states. :) Still dunno who I am seeing in May anyways or April at that matter. :shrugs: Well no I take that back, I know one person, and she's in the ensemble, but will she be in the ensemble or playing Morrible? ;) Well I take that back again, its just the Elphaba lead I dunno about, the others are set I guess.

So there's my post of the day. :)

PS: I can't get over this, some one I know on Facebook, his grandpa's dog's name is Cortney. YES! Spelt the same way as my name and the dog is a girl! =D And in a reverse I know some one's whose daughter's name is Sadie, like my dog. Wow! Tiss a small world after all!

I need to go back to Grammar School!

http://erin-wilson.blogspot.com/2010/03/their-theyre-there.html < this all started after I read that!

I was reading through Twitter updates and talking on Facebook when over on Twitter I saw "Their, they're, there....know which one to use." Except I just saw the first 3 words and clicked on it to see what it was about. It's about the 10 most common missspelled words! LOL

Well the funny part is I turned around and was talking to Marci on Facebook and said you're and I meant your! LOL I was like I just read over all of that on that webpage! Oops! LOL

I guess I need to go back to school! LOL

Dancing With The Stars New Season

I have been giving this show the benefit of a doubt and watching it the last few dozen seasons. LOL (I didn't watch the first year) I was also pretty good at predicting the top 2, but after last season I was like I am done, and now I think I am done!

I will admit that I loved watcing Jon and Kate + 8, but it doesn't mean I could stand Kate! I seriously could not stand her and after the separation, it was mostly centered around her and not the kids. I miss seeing their show, but oh my gosh dealing with her on the show. She will not get my votes, all though it might be nice to see the kids again. Who knows!

I am excited to see the rest of the group. ;) hahaha It will be an interesting season, that is for sure!

Spring has Sprung!

< two flowers for spring!

It has been so beautiful here since the last snow storm we had here. =) This is why I love March for the most part down here, its like April/May in Ohio. Seriously its wonderful. I love to see winter come and go, and I do miss the snow when its gone, but happy when its over and its on to watching for wonderful thunderstorms and tornadoes and such. LOL

Ok mailing out the basically empty envelope wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. ;) The lady at the post office just did what I asked and then it was sent off to California. =) I again am thankful I am getting a chance to get it back, after finding out they won't do it unless you send it initially. :o) I guess it was good I didn't send my Playbill, I dunno. But I should have it back in the next couple of weeks, maybe in time for my birthday. ;) hahaha

Oh speaking of my birthday, some one I know on Facebook who is going to Wicked on my birthday, I asked her to pick me up a Playbill there and then was like get it signed at the stage door. I jokingly said, and Katie I am sure you will say otherwise, get some one to put Happy Birthday on it! hahaha It would be one cool birthday present. hahaha

So other than that, nothing much is happening. =)

Elphie and Glinda found their new home! ;)

My package arrived in Dayton safe and sound. I heard from Carrie this afternoon informing me that she received it. I was starting to worry about it. LOL Seriously I was!

Except the funny part is, that I forgot one thing! ;) I sent my little autograph filled book from various things (my Playbill is still MIA) and of course I should've known to have done this. LOL Carrie told me that usually if you don't send a SASE with what you want autographed, they won't send it back. And what was missing in my package, the SASE! LOL OOPS! I had thought about sending her one, but didn't really think about it twice, I guess I should've. ;) But she's hanging onto it for me until I can get one sent. ;) Thank Goodness!

I should've known to do that! I wrote who knows how many letters to gymnast's and such for years on years, including Terin and sent her a SASE (tried to) with each letter. LOL I guess I have been out of the letter sending loop. Darn e-mail!

Anyways I am so happy they found their new home. :) Now to figure out how to send a SASE for the book to get back here...any ideas?

2 months!!!!

The cute fabric my mom found at the beach to make a Linus blanket! I loved it! :D

So yesterday I went to Project Linus for the first time since December. I had 2 blankets from all the way back and then 2 I had made including the one above. It was great to be back there doing something for such a wonderful cause. I made 5 blankets, well cut them, I hate the knotting part, but started 2 and some one else finished those and the others.

The countdown is TRULY on till Wicked! 2 months away from today I will be seeing the show in Durham and I can't wait! Well maybe I can wait, becaus I have ZERO clue who I wll be seeing as Elphaba. The lead right now is headed to San Fransisco in June, which means I could see her at the end of her touring days or see the new person take over, who is the current standby in San Fransisco. I really don't care, because both of these women are amazing in this role. Oy!!!

So thats it. I woke up wide-awake at 6:15-6:30 this morning. Ugh! I hate that. At least it wasn't 5:00....

Yes it did snow....

There's one of the pictures from about 3:00 this afternoon. It was coming down in HUGE flakes earlier today. It started at noon and been like the clapper since. hahaha What will tomorrow bring?

I am hoping a certain some one gets their package in the next two days. She should, but anxious to hear back. :D =D

I am so excited about something so stupid!!!

I got a new keyboard to replace the one that had 2 keys that popped out. For like the past 6 months, they had been popping in and out and finally my dad agreed that there was no more fixing! ;) So now I am typing this and having a G and M that work without having to wack them so hard they basically fly off the computer! Yay!

So corny, yes I know. But I am HAPPY!

Snow 2 years in a row in March?!?!?!

< Thats from a year ago today!

Ok how can we hit the jackpot 2 years in a row with SNOW 2 years straight in March?! I AM SO READY FOR SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
