An Evening with Stars

Last night I went to see my best friend, Kelly dance in the NWA Dancing With the Stars. I had a REALLY good time. I feel like Steve and I have become an old married couple. We do a lot of take-out on the weekend and then we usually go to bed really early. I loved the opportunity to get dressed up and go to an event.
Kelly did a fantastic job and she looked beautiful. I got to sit with some of my favorite people in the world!
Melissa, Julie, Jill and Jennifer. These girls are a lot of fun. I have met them through Kelly.
Amber, Kelly and Amanda. I go to church with these three and they lift my spirit every time I am around them. I LOVE these girls!
The star with Shannon. She is sooooo sweet and I met her through Hillary.

One of my very best friends, Hillary. I was just delighted that she was our house guest this weekend. We had a great time being together. Hillary is soooo funny. I LOVE funny!
I am beyond thrilled that both these girls are having babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am delighted that both are having girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time I think about this I smile!


On another note.........................................................

Two items:
The Sea Monkeys passed. I think I killed them. I THINK I over-fed them. I don't know. I noticed on Friday morning that they were all dead. I had to make a special run to Walmart to get some more. This batch of monkeys are doing well. Emily never knew.

I am TERRIFIED of birds. I have always wondered what I would do if a bird flew in my hair or something like that. I always imagine myself having a seizure.
As I was taking Emily to dance this week, we cut through a hedge lining a parking lot. When we got smack dab in the middle of that hedge, birds began flying out of it. A bird flew right in front of my face. I could feel the air from it's fluttering wings. I did better than I thought I would do. My heart stopped for just a beat or two and I went numb. But, I got over it pretty quickly.
