Lots to be proud about!

Aida (2000 Original Broadway Cast)

Hey Everybody!

Sorry I have been MIA for a while! I have been so busy that I have not had time to devote to my blog writing. I thought that I would take this opportunity to brag a bit however. One of the reasons that I have not had time to blog is because I have been completely distracted by the Shasta High School musical production of AIDA.

Why have I been so distracted by this.....MY SISTER MADISON WAS AIDA!!!!!!! I am just a bit proud of her as you can tell. Well, actually I am proud of both of my sisters because they both worked very hard on this production. Madison being the lead had to be at practices all the time and deal with the stresses of that and Sydney was the hair and makeup artist for the production. Of course there were many other very talented people involve in this production but I am partial. Here are some pictures form the production and a video of Madison during my very favorite part! ENJOY, and feel the pride!!

Lots of spray on "abs"  and tans for this

production!

This shot shows the abs well. On stage this 

looks totally real! (the cute man in maroon

is my Dad, he has mad skills!)

The lovely lady in blue is my mom! She did so

much for this production I couldn't write

about it all!

This picture is my favorite! I love that Syd is 

spraying Madi with her eyes closed, Madi has

a doofy look on her face, and you can see my

Mom in the background taking the picture!

This is my family!! :)

My Dad fixing up Madi's tan. For this musical you needed

to have a dark skin tone and this does not come

naturally for my family!! Hurray for airbrushing!!

Yup, get those ankles!

Syd putting the finishing touches on 

a nubian slave girl's braids. Syd was in

charge of doing LOTS of braids!

Madi all ready for the first scene that 

takes place in a museum.

"The Bobbies Formally Known As Boobies"

My sister Sydney.

I often call my sisters Sydney and Madison to see how they are doing and to hear the latest scoop. This weekend was no different from the normal...so I thought. When I called my parents house and Sydney answered the phone with "Hi, Tottie(my nickname, Sydney has always called me this) have you been online today!?!", she tried to not laugh. I said, "No. Why?". Sydney then proceeded to tell me that I had a very, very, interesting typo on my latest Etsy shop listing and that I should check it out.

My sister Madison.

I have been making lots and lots of bobby pins lately and in my haste during a late night item post on Etsy I had accidentally written "Boobies With Bling", instead of, "Bobbies With Bling"!!!! Of course, the night before I had been totally proud of my new creations so naturally I posted my new item all over every social networking site I could think of!! I had over 20 facebook comments and many more "thumbs up" about this.

To make it worse a bunch of my husband's friends sent him private messages on facebook telling him that I was selling boobies with bling and how could they get some for their wives! I have read many "How-To" books on selling online and they always say to make your listing titles exciting and attention getting but I took that to a whole new level this weekend!! 

These are the "Bobbies Formally Known As Boobies"

The moral of this story is- no matter how late at night it is...double check your spelling!!! That's some "good stuff" if I do say so myself!
