How many of you are glad this week is over?
I sure know I am. It had it's highlights though. I thought I would share them with you.
First of all Little Geek had his first cello concert Tuesday night. Did I cry? You bet. He was terrific!
He isn't quite Yo-Yo Ma but he will get there. There were over 100 kids just playing the violin. He rocked!
Okay, so that was Tuesday. Last night I went to Creekside Books to see the infamous Yarn Harlot. She is a kick in the pants lemme tell ya! She even let me take a picture of us! How nice of her! Here we are:
I think I should change the name of this blog to BIG DORK because that was the way I acted! I couldn't think of anything to say! I know she probably would hate this (or be flattered) but I felt as if I was in the presence of a Rock Star! She was very nice though. Her voice is deeper than I thought.... interesting....... I bought her book (already started reading it - it's great) It was fun. Glad I did it.
Okay, so that isn't really me. I am now going to do something I won't do very often and show a picture of myself. Seriously it is me.
What??? You don't believe me? Okay, Okay. Here you go. Just so you know I really did meet her (I hope she will vouch for me)
I made it nice and small. We don't want to over kill it now do we?
Over and out.
PS - Thanks to Carol for the photo editing!!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!! Now I an show my face (and body too) cause I look just like Sandra Bullock. And can photoshop the photos to prove it. And while I'm at it I will hijack Stephanie and be standing that close to her too.
Meanwhile...my son is a classical and (award winning - brag brag brag - Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival) jazz bass player so I cried through 9 years of concerts and competitions.

I'm overjoyed that this week is over. Your Little geek looks so cute. I remember being surprised by the Harlots throaty voice as well. Hope you have a great weekend.

I love those concerts where all of the kids play their violins/violas/cellos together! I used to be one of the ones with a violin, but I always had mad cello envy. Maybe that's why I grew up to be a violist. Congrats to little geek. He looks like he's having fun which is the best part.

Wow! You look great!! Has anyone ever told you that you look like Nicole Kidman??? tee-hee.
Cello!!! Danny Rocks!!! Now we will have to get him to play the "Angel" theme on that sucker!!
Microsoft Paint Baby! Keepin' it real. Glad to help!!:)

Ooh, pictures! A little much make-up for a book signing though, don'cha think?
Just kidding. You look great! You curly haired people make me jealous.
My son has his first orchestra recital on the 25th. I can't wait and I think I mention it to someone at least once a day!

Too funny. When she was in LA, she was much tinier than I expected.

I'm so bummed I didn't get to go see the Yarn Harlot. I found out about it last weekend and it was just on a really bad night for me with my classes and all. Last semester when she was supposed to come I was all set to go to that one! Oh well, maybe next time...

I wish I knew that was you, I would have said hi!

Oh my goodness, girl, you crack me up so hard! ha! Love the Harlot photos. And congrats to Little Geek (does he know that you call him that? hee hee)!! How cool.

Stephanie is not the only one who is a kick in the pants - you are too much, girl! you cracked me up with the Nicole Kidman bit ;)
Have a good weekend!

Congrats to little geek on his first concert! Looks like you had a great time at the booksigning. So, when are you and Keith Urban finally tying the knot?

That's hilarious and very very cool! A good friend of mine - also a knitter - gave me a copy of The Yarn Harlot. I haven't finished reading it, but I love it thus far.
