Okay, now that I’m back I will finish up the rest of yesterday. I mentioned that they had gone through one time practicing picking up diplomas (at least eight Patels by the way 😛 ). Once finished, they all had to stand up one last time (“and now presenting the class of 2008”) and then

Over the years this has been an award winning group of young singer/dancers. The competition for spots is almost fierce. I always thought she

But one thing I was confident in was my ability to make a good persuasive argument. NOT ANYMORE. After recent events as a member of our local theatre’s “Play Reading Committee” I

These pregnancy nightmares I’m having are out of hand. Not only is my sleep interrupted, but the dreams are getting just plain weird! Before this pregnancy, I would rarely have dreams that I would even remember when I woke up, let alone have dreams so vivid that I’m unable to sleep after waking from them. It’s funny how
