so SOMEBODY really wants me to update...

ok, so you wanted to know more about that puppy gracing my xanga page.  here it is.  his name is Hero.

Hero loves toys...

Hero also loves to curl up under a nice blanket and sleep...

he is very friendly and gets extremely excited when the doorbell rings...

i love him very very much...

Hero says hello.

let me give you a basic rundown on this fantastic pooch.  we had a problem with geese.  they were not afraid of my dad driving back and forth in his car beeping...so after a visit from my grandma and her little pup, my dad found out that the arctic fox is the main predator of geese.  they have white fur and black noses.  therefore, we HAVE to get a white dog with a black nose.  this was all fine to me seeing as my father insisted we would never ever ever own another pet...ever.  Hero got his name because we knew the geese would no longer bother us.  by the way...he succeeded.  Hero enjoys walks, going for car rides, eating peanut butter and carrots, going upstairs, jumping up and down on his hind legs (i swear he's a circus dog), stealing toys, shoes, socks, and anything else readily available, and lying on the back of the couch.  he also has mastered the pathetic whining when he wants attention.  NOBODY is as good at that as he is.

so, there you go Tami.  Hero would love to meet you!

most awesome thing ever...

Broadway in Chicago called us up at the Wishing Star Theatre the other day.  the Nat'l Tour of High School Musical is coming to the LaSalle Bank Theatre and Disney told B in C that we recently did the show.  to make a long story short, 11 of our students plus myself will be performing with the tour when it comes to town for one week (10 shows).  we haven't told the kids we chose yet and i'm dying to tell them.  they are going to pee in their pants when they find out!

p.s.  i'm in Grease at Wishing Star too.  we open tonight and run 3 weekends.  sorry i'm always so late with putting up info but i figured most of you will just see CCT's anyway.  but if you want to see it again, let me know.

shannanigans....

that's right julie.  i don't even know if it's spelled right.

He was just a little boy,
on a week's first day.
Wandering home from Sunday School,
and dawdling on the way.

He scuffed his shoes into the grass;
he even found a caterpillar.
He found a fluffy milkweed pod,
and blew out all the "filler."

A bird's nest in a tree overhead,
so wisely placed up so high.
Was just another wonder,
that caught his eager eye.

A neighbor watched his zig zag course,
and hailed him from the lawn;
Asked him where he'd been that day
and what was going on.

"I've been to Bible School,"
he said and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm replying,
"I've learned a lot about God."

"Mmm, very fine way," the neighbor said,
"for a boy to spend his time."
"If you'll tell me where God is,
I'll give you a brand new dime."

Quick as a flash the answer came!
Nor were his accents faint.
"I'll give you a dollar, Mister,
if you can tell me where God ain't."
