   Hey everyone! How was everyone's week? Well, the header of this entry should be a clue as to how my week in New Orlens went! ;)

  I have been feeling very run down since I got back, as I didn't sleep well at all my last 4 nights there, and only had 1 day to rest up before starting my 12 hour shifts. And OF COURSE, my first day back was a bit hellish. So my main goal is to stay as healthy as possible until after my audition next Monday.

  So, how was the trip. Well, it was COLD! Unseasonably cold due to all the weird weather from up North. Nawleans was 37 when we got in that Friday night. Brrrrr! We did have a very nice VD there, got up to about 58 or so, then the temp went back down. And because of all of the snow and such, the Atlanta airport (the main aiport that flies in to N.O.) was shut down, so it was really quiet until about Monday or so. VERY odd considering how busy it was last year.

   Hi everyone!

   Taking a quick break in between packing to move and packing to head to Crazy Party Town, aka New Orleans, tomorrow to update you all on my AGT audition.

   My work needed an answer for my audition date, so I made my own, since I hadn't heard from AGT yet. Kailyn had told me that a Sunday audition would work better with his schedule, so that is what I put in at work, only to be told a few days ago that they couldn't find anyone to cover for me without it involving...

   Hey all! Geez, 30 lashes with a wet noodle for the big lag time here! :( 

   So, there has been a bit going on here, and I am trying to get myself geared up for February, because boy howdy, it's going to be a hectic month!

   Well, for starters, I gave my notice to my secondary job, and will no longer be an apartment manager after Feb. 6th. It took me a bit to get up the nerve to do it, but finally put in on paper and sent it off. I just had the realization that with AGT...

   Hey ya'll! So, how was everyone's holiday? Do anything fun and exciting?

   Well, I worked! LOL I put in a half day at the hospital on Christmas day, then hung out with my friends on X-Mas eve, and that night. Relaxing and fun in a quiet way. :) 

   And then it was New Year's Eve and I remebered that I wanted to do the Polar Bear Plunge into Lake Washington again this year! I did it for the first time last year and it was a blast, AND an amazing way to start off the year!...

    Just a quick note before the next 2 days of family and festivities hit!  ;)

   I want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to you all for your comments, suggestions, and unfailing support, especially when there was serious lag time in between blogs. ;)

   I thought that my friends were silly to have me get a web site up and running before my audition aired ( "A website for me, about me?! Come on! Who is seriously going to be looking for that?!" ). But as does happen more often then not, I was wrong, and glad I was, because I met all of you!

   Hey all!

   Well, to those who sent me addys, I got your cards off. I had really hoped to do more than that to let you all know how much I appreciate your support, but again, EPIC fail. Sighh....

   But I did make them myself and I truly hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them!  :)

   As for a song choice for the audition, I am focusing on what acapella song to do for the general audition first and foremost, because that is the true make or break moment...

   Hey all!

   Good gods, the computer's at work are getting more restricted by the week, so I'm at the local online coffee shop doing this blog entry.

   So, I am hard at work trying to get your holiday bits to you all. The main thing I wanted to do for you all was an EPIC fail after much experimenting, so that was a bummer. But there will be something coming, I promise!  :}

   And now for the big news.....drum roll please......AGT has informed me that I will be auditioning...

    Ok, so I fixed the problem with the last blog entry ( I was wondering why no one had commented so far! lol ) and again, a big thank you for the heads up on that!

   And now, a favor. Would you few remaining loyal readers be so kind as to give me your snail mail addresses? I don't want to promise anything, but I have a bug up my bum about the holidays and feel the need to send ya'll something...and no, no CD quite yet. ;) So if you would humor me, I will see what I can come up...

   Hey there!

   So, I'm writing this post in response to a very nice poster on my blog site here, and a suggestion that she had for me. Here we go!

   It's the holiday season, as you all know, and this is the time of year when the Giving Tree is put  out here at the hospital. I LOVE when that tree comes out! I rush down and pick out a mess of cards. They range anywhere from asking for onsies for a newborn, diapers, stuffed toys, and stuff for older kids as well, like CDs or...
