This Is It

So as I did up my swap for Robin, I did my Queen Bee card, I had on Micheal Jackson's This is It.  Wow it was amazing, I could hardly take my eyes off it, so it took me longer then it should have to do the swap cards.  That would have been quite the live show.  I loved the chick that played the guitar, she was incredible, that would be fun to do (in my next lifetime).  If you get a chance to watch it, you should.  I am so glad that they filmed all these practices and stuff, it is nice to see Micheal Jackson doing what he loved, and boy he still could move, and he looked like he was really having a blast.

I also saw a commercial today that made me smile.  It is for True Beauty and it shows a Down Syndrome girl being crowned the Queen at prom, and all the kids cheering and it reminded me of when Eric was in high school and he was on the football team.  

At the end of the year, Eric's teacher called us and said to make sure we came to the awards ceremony cause Eric was going to get an award.  I figured they were going to make up an award…not in a mean way but Eric did not play tons of times, and a lot of times he played in this other extra quarter, so that all the kids on the team got a chance. I loved that.  They even let Eric run with the ball and get a touchdown twice, and he ran like the bionic man, that kid could move.  Too funny they had been practicing this and Eric did not even tell us.  In fact Jeff was at the game and was screaming and hollering as Eric ran with the ball, and the coach said later "come back next week, we're gonna do it again!"   

I don't really know much sports stuff, never really was into them in school either.  So anyway, the coach got up and talked about the next award and how hard the player played, did his best and all that, and then he said Eric got the Player's Choice award, and Jeff and I were in tears, and Jeff was like "that is a real award".  Jeff had to explain later that it was his team mates that vote or decide who got the award and they gave it to Eric.  It was nice afterwards seeing all the players coming up to Eric and patting him on the back and congratulating him.  It made all those times when kids weren't so nice to him fade away, and realize kids will be kids, and when they grew up and matured they were all pretty cool. 

One of the things I like to do is make a card right out of the catalog.  I tweaked this one a bit cause I wanted to color the hydrangea.  I think this might be one of my favorite new sets.  I love the sets with all the details. Don't forget you can get it for free if you sign up to be a Demonstrator before the end of the month.  When you order the new color kit it comes with it.  Neat eh?

Well Jeff and I watched Leverage, and it was so great, and I just finished watching True Blood, I did not realize how tall and lanky Eric was…what a handsome guy, no wonder my girlfriend Mandy loves him. 

 So it's late and my pillow is hollering at me. Have a great Monday and thanks for stopping in.
