I'm Baaaaaaaaack



I begin this post with pictures of my ridiculously cute niece. I love her. And guess what? She moved to Florida for the summer!!! YEEEEEEAH! We live in the same state!!!





Yup. So I have been out of commission with this internet thing for the past week and a half or so. I never realized how much I rely on the internet to get business info (I had to open a phone book today!), get directions, manage banks accounts, read y'alls blogs... I tell ya- I don't remember what life was like without the internet. I know it existed, but we got our dial-up connection to the internet my sophomore year of high school and I spent lots of time chatting it up with folks from LHS... ha ha. But really- I guess without the internet we just had to use our brains. Without Google we actually had to know the alphabet so we could look something up in a phone book. Now all it takes is a TAP TAP TAP and you're hooked up with the business name, how many miles it is from your house, alternate routes.... etc etc etc. Anyway, I am thankful to be back online and in contact with everyone once again.

I have had lots of randomness floating around in my head lately. Here goes:

1. WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYY is it that so many people from OHIO and MICHIGAN are here in FL??? I swear, the license plates from these two states outnumber Floridian ones! (Speaking of Floridan plates... check out my previous blog for a pic of my cool WHALE plate... ha ha.)

2. Gossip/backbiting is stupid. This thought isn't really stemming from anything going on in my life necessarily, but I just got thinking about how silly it is that we, as "natural men," feel the need to criticize and belittle those around us. We are all here, working on the same "life project," so why do we insist on making it harder for each other? Along with this, why is it that oft times, when ANOTHER person SUCCEEDS, we feel that WE have FAILED? This happens a lot in my line of work, and as much as I don't like admitting that I DO feel that way sometimes, I do.

3. I love Sophie.

4. I really wanna see "Made of Honor". And "What Happens in Vegas". I'm all about chick flicks.

5. I am OBSESSED with the swimming pool at my new house. What do I do in my free time? Float around my pool on a gray ... thing. I love it. Florida is cool. It was also 91 degrees today. Hee hee hee. (I am kinda rubbing that in all you Utahns faces... sorry dudes.)

6. I am forgetting my show. I am NOT kidding. Plus or minus 20 or so shows, I have performed "Beauty and the Beast- Live on Stage" 650 times. This is what happened the other day:

Sing sing sing "Oh, isn't this amazing, it's my favorite part because, you'll see....... .. . .... .... ....... ... ....... ............ . ..... ..... ................................. . . . . ........ BUT SHE WON'T DISCOVER THAT IT'S HIM TILL CHAPTER THREE!!!"

I had NO IDEA what I was supposed to be singing! HA! The weird thing is that my body kept doing its routine actions... but the words were GONE. Gone gone gone. It hasn't showed up on YouTube yet... I'm happy for that. :-)

7. Still dating the boy. Things are progressing nicely. Speculate on that suckas.... :-)

8. Jason needs to leave American Idol. David Cook needs to win.

9. The Bachelorette starts in a few weeks... I will watch.

10. I need a new hairstyle and color. And new headshots.

11. I'm coming to Utah a week from TODAY! YEAH!

12. This post is too long and I will be amazed if people actually read to this point...

13. The 4th of July is my favorite holiday and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! It's coming so soon!

14. I am excited to go see the tour of "The Lion King" in Tampa next Tuesday. I wish they had a Red Robin in Tampa. I am craving Red Robin. Thanks a lot, Sam, for getting me hooked years ago.

15. That's all.

And, weirdly, when I lived in Virginia, it seemed like there were Florida license plates everywhere!

HA! I did that in Japan! I totally forgot the words to "I Will Survive"... and I couldn't get them back to save my life! So I just started randomly riffing. My castmembers onstage were DYING!

Oh, and you should dye your hair a light auburn maybe. But don't forget to make sure it works with your eyebrows.

And yes... performers gossip. They're jerks... /shrug. It's the double-edged sword to being passionate people.

I agree with you 100 % on the American Idol thing. Yes, I watch it. Yes, I know what that means.

While you're in Tampa (where my dade used to work and the bay really stinks) go to Riverview and try to find my old slummy elementary school. Well, it's kind of a drive, maybe don't. I don't remember the exact name of it either, but we were the Gators.
Jason needed to go a few weeks ago and I'll be happy if either David wins, but I like Cook better too. I think Brooke should still be on it. Maybe because I only wish I were that skinny. And had great hair like hers.

Here's where she meets Prince Charming...

And I haven't even SEEN the show or heard the music for a few years!

Oh gosh sweetie, I was just having that same thought. I now bring in Pres. Hinckley's inspirational thoughts book and leave quotes around the dressing room. Plus, I bring in Sudoku. That way I am just the happy uninteresting one. Backbiting is the weirdest thing. And I find I contribute, and I hate it. WEIRD!
