Jennifer -- thanks for the link to the furniture... fun to look through!
I have a proud Mom moment to share too. As you know, Kristin (DD19) is a theatre performance major in college. Every spring the entire department is required to audition for the following semester's Main Stage productions. This is a highly competitive time as they only do 4 shows a year on that stage and there are about 150 performance majors vying for those casts.
The plays being produced next semester are "The Nerd" (a comedy) and "Medea" (... not a comedy)
Kristin assumed that if she was to be cast she would win a role in the comedy since that is one of her strengths. Well... guess what...... you got it... she is in "Medea." She was cast as one of the Chorus.
The director is a Visiting Artist from the Royal Shakespeare Company who is quite young and a little out of the box, so Kristin is more enamored with the production now. The callbacks were rigorous and she is fascinated by the tack this director is taking so far. The role of Medea will be played by a very talented hearing impared grad student. She will sign her lines and they will be interpreted in the spoken word. I cannot wait to see it!
I am so proud of Kristin and her hard work to get this part and am looking forward to watching her grow as an actor through this new opportunity. If I could, I would buy all the available tickets and invite you all to Tammi's house to stay so you could be there for opening night....![]()

So I meet the teacher in the hall. We walked to the room & she stands at the door & tells the kids that they have a special treat today..2 secret readers! I walk in with & my son jumps up yelling "Mommy, Mommy!" & comes running to hug me & my DD.
I read the story to the kids & they really listened well. I always wanted to be an elementary school teacher so things like this put me in my glory. Anyway, after the story I told the kids that I brought cauliflower for them all & they all laughed & went "ewww" but then I brought out the goody bags with fun stuff & candy & they all said "you tricked us" & laughed. They were all so cute. My DS got to hand them out to his classmates & I could tell he was really proud to do so. He got a special sticker from the teacher & he was all smiles. He said "You are such a good mommy, that I couldn't make a mommy better than you".I was in tears. Some days that little boy can drive me to the nuthouse
but he was just so sweet today.
Thanks for asking.

I'm glad it went well!Steamboat Marti said:Vicki - have your broken in your Airwalks yet? Do you love them???
Yes and we don't agree. He got mad at me the other day, though, and said I could have my name. I don't want it that way, so when things slow down a bit here I'll bring the subject back up again.Steamboat Marti said:Make sure you take good care of yourself and our little princess.... have you discussed names??
