A Good Week
I’m ready to pinch myself. That’s how good this week has been. And it’s only Thursday.
I hope I don’t post this and then bite my tongue when a million bad things bombard me over the second half of the week.
Good thing #1: I was a guest fan judge over at I Heart Faces! I was flattered, humbled, and overjoyed at the request and the flood of comments you all left me. I hope you’ll stick around 
Can I say one thing? Being a judge is HARD! I wish everyone could win. I do not envy Angie and Amy their job in narrowing down the finalists, and the weekly judges who have to decide all on their own. And the hardest part? Refraining from commenting on other blogs. I tried to remain as anonymous and mysterious as possible, even though my fingers itched to type in the comment window. Next week I’ll go back to being a regular old contestant, but the comments and encouragement will live with me forever.
Good thing #2: We booked the rest of our Scotland trip! Yes, this meant plopping down a grand for a deposit, but it means our trip is pretty much planned out. We have been planning this trip for 2 years, since we first gave my parents the Christmas gift with a picture of Scotland, promising to take them. We’re book ending the trip with 3 night stays in Edinburgh, and for the middle week we’ll be on a whirlwind cross country adventure, plotted out with help from Paul and Pauline at Homemade Holidays. The trip even includes a stay in a castle with a resident ghost!
Good thing #3: My hubby and I have been cast in Romeo and Juliet….as Romeo and Juliet! I know, Sean will have to shave, we can’t have a hairy faced Juliet but it’s a sacrifice we’ll have to make. (Um…Kidding. Just making sure you’re paying attention) Rehearsals begin Monday and the show goes up between April 30 and May 16. Fancy a trip? Sean and I working this closely could be dangerous. Last night we decided that a lolcat version of Romeo and Juliet was in order.
It hasn’t ALL been good. My poor little kitten Malcolm had to have “the procedure” today. Sean is grieving. London enjoyed his day alone in the house.
Have you had a good week? I’d love to hear about it.
