Jan. 31st, 2011

OOPs..disregard that last post.  I hit the wrong button. 

Miss America was Awesome.  I was able to spend a lot of time watching preliminaries.  All the girls work so hard.  My mom and I were tired just from watching each night and then sight seeing.  I know that Paulie had to be tired...but she never showed it.  She was fantastic!  It was so much fun to see all my friends at the Miss America pageant.  I am just rambling right now because there is so much to say...  I loved all the food that I was able to eat while we were there.  My mom always got her coffee and I would get a breakfast treat: cinnamon roll, crepes, pancakes, etc....  The DSW shoe parade was so much fun..  The girls looked like they were having a lot of fun, and the day was gorgeous.  One day my mom and I say by the pool.  My mom forgot to pull up her yoga pants so she had a tan line on her calves.  It looked really silly.  Overall... I am so proud of Paulie and so lucky to have seen Miss America Live.  Oh yeah...being on TV was really NEAT!


I have added another activity to my list.  I am the understudy for Sandy in the musical Grease, and I have a small seperate part as well.  I will get to play Sandy if the real Sandy gets sick AND when we perform for the elementary schools.  I am very nervous about that!

Over this past weekend I helped make hundreds of Valentine's Day cards for the soldiers overseas and for the VA hospital.  Along with the cards being shipped overseas to the soldiers we also collected candy to be mailed.  The soldiers like having candy that they can pass out to the children.  I wish I could give the candy to the kids and a card to a soldier.  Either way... I know that I am helping make a difference. 

Until next time...

Make a difference!
