"Today, my youngest sister's friends pestered her to give in and read Twilight, so tonight, she put a copy of it in her backpack. Shocked that she would actually read it, I picked it up and opened it to see how far she had gotten. When I opened it I found that she had merely taken the slipcover of our other sister's copy of Twilight and put it on her own copy of Harry Potter 4. So. Proud. MLIA"

Seriously.
I'm sorry I needed to vent haha.
Short post cause there's nothing to talk about.
All I have to say is:
GIGI GOES LAAAAAAAA BUT GIGI GOES SQUISH TOO!!!!

That is all.

Buh-bye.

*dances* It's a party in the U.S.A!

Yup!





1. Actually liking the song "Party in the U.S.A." by Miley Cyrus. She sounds more....mature....just saying :) I don't think everyone should always be bashing on her. She's a nice girl and CAN sing. Shh....don't tell anyone ;) but I do like some of her songs (sue me for having an opinion!).





2. I was sick yesterday and didn't go to school. So here's what I did:


~Slept


~Watched TV


~Played on the computer


~Played on my ipod


~Watched "Bride Wars"





and I WAS going to watch RENT, but I didn't. Hm.....maybe tonight?? Feeling the feeling to watch La Vie Boheme and dance my awesome pants off. :)





3. I realized I'm in a VERY good mood today. :D


4. I had ballet today and pre-pointe. It was fun :) New male teacher that I haven't had before. He's nice. :)
5. Three day weekend!!! HOLLA!!


6. If your wondering why I suddenly decided to make a blog post, it's cause no blogs I am following have been updated for 1 week at least. So............I thought if I posted, maybe that would remind people to post!! Usually I wait for at least one other person to post before I post, but oh well.


7. AIM convo tonight fanzels?? :D


8. Feeling kinda hyperrrrrrrr.


9. Idina had her BABY. YESSSSSSSS!!! :) Seemed like JUST yesterday I found out she was pregnant. ;)


Congrats Idina and Taye. I love you guys. <3


Everyone please welcome Walker Nathaniel Diggs into the world!


10. I won the idina-here contest I entered and I'm winning a signed lithograph (it's a picture) of IDINA. She's signing it out to me! xD YES!!!





I used a lot of smileys....oh well...I am happy after all. I want to go to a friend's house really bad. But no one's gonna invite me probably. Considering it's already almost 3 PM and since I was just sick they probably don't want me at their house. So yeah.

*dances off stage left*

a post.....errrrrr yeahhhhhhh

So i don't really know WHAT to post about, but I felt the need to blog about something.



Me and my sis (er....my sis and i.....I DONT REALLY CARE) watched Pochahonas on the very extremely old VHS player. The sound and picture kept going out, but it was still good.



I went to Holiday World AGAIN. It was so fun!!!!



Andddddddddd that's about it. I really want to start a video series.....although it probably won't turn out that good cause I'll just be blabbering about random things....actually that might be kinda cool.



Bye bye.

Fair (again) and Tidina pics!

So, I went to the fair AGAIN yesterday. Lotza fun. :)

And I felt like posting the newest Tidina pics. They were taken this past weekend. :)

Sorry for such a short post. There's not much going on. But once school starts, the post are bound to be longer. :)

xD Too cute! Watch the video the paps got of them here ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pxjayr2h0Y

More cuteness!! Paps fail though. Friend? HOW ABOUT HIS WIFE?

GEEZ.

Lice, Facebook, and Fairs

Sigh.

OK, so my head has been itching like CRAZY for the past....5 months and we couldn't figure out why. We went to my doctor, and she thought it was dry skin. We went to my hair dresser and she didn't find anything. So I tried some different shampoos and all. Nothing helped.

But this morning, my mom was cleaning out the drawer in her bathroom where some of my brushes and combs were. And there were all these little, brown, dead bugs in the drawer.

Yes, my friends, I do have lice.

My mom and dad checked my hair this morning, and they found all these bugs in my hair. The same kind that were in the drawer.

So here I am now, in a towel and shorts, waiting for my mom to get back from Walgreen's with gloves and bobby pins so we can start the de-licing. It will take about 4 hours. We have to comb through my hair, put this special chemical shampoo on my hair, let it sit, and then scrub, then take a comb with REALLY tiny teeth and comb through my hair. Then repeat.

I'm just glad my head won't itch anymore. :)

Moving on...

Hopefully I'll be able to get my Facebook tomorrow!!!

HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

Today I went to the fair with my friend and we had SO much fun!! We rode all the rides we could. :) I realized that most of the rides there were rides that spun around or at least was moving in some kind of circle motion.

I'll post the daily quotes and pics later. I have to go de-lice now.

o_O

Bee dee BOM.



So all day today I organized my desk, inside and out. Well actually I finished the outside that I had already started and did the inside. But whatever.



I didn't even have time to get dressed.



School starts SUPER soon, and that means I won't have a lot of time to post. D:



I am excited about school....and I'm not.



Reasons why I am excited:

1. I get to see my friends everyday.

2. I won't be bored.

3. I'll be in eighth grade, top of the school.

4. CHORUS!!!



Reasons why I'm...not:

1. I'll probably get TONS of homework.

2. I didn't get all A's, so I can't eat outside with my friends.

3. With my luck, none of my friends will be on my team.

4. I'll probably get a suckish teacher. That happened last year. IT WAS NOT FUN. D:<>

And yes, that's a fanzel (Juliana). Idina let her come onstage and sing defying gravity with her. :) So sweet.

Ok, so I finished the HSM play and yah. (If you've been wondering, I was Kelsi Neilson). It was so much fun and was my favorite play yet (and this was my 10th lol). So I was UBER upset when it was over.

So there was this one part where I had to take off my jacket REALLY quick and throw it backstage....and well I left it there by accident. Hopefully someone will find it and bring it to the cast party, cause it's my sister's and not mine. Luckily we put my name on the tag so yah.

I also found some true fanzels and glitter girls at the play backstage. I couldn't believe it. It was a dream come true for me. They didn't care if I talked about Idina a whole bunch! And when I told them my friends get annoyed when I talk about her, they said, "Why??".

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Just writing about that makes me feel HAPPY!!!

So after the show we went out and got cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory, which I found out later my friends were at at the exact same time we were. I didn't see them there though, cause that place is HUGE and they were eating outside and we were eating inside. Anyways, I got Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake (DELICIOUS!!) and a huge meal that of course I didn't finish lol. But I was pretty sad a lot of the time cause the play was over. :'(

Luckily we have our cast party tomorrow though. I'm so excited!!! :D

I also went to the children's cast of HSM and they were great. SO CUTE!!! I went up to the adorable kid who played Ryan after the show, gave him a hug, and then I went, "You are so adorable!" or "You were so adorable!" or something like that. I'm sorry that I have the memory of Dory. :p

I watched RENT F.L.O.B. (filmed live on broadway) and it was FANTASTIC!! Just makes me want to go see it performed live even more. AMAZING songs too!!

"Christmas bells are ringingggg!!" *hums*

On IMMB I have been working on giving everyone nicknames, but I keep forgetting who I've given them too. So, I will write them on the sidebar over there --->

BTW, if you are a fanzel and happen to be reading this, and notice that you don't have a nickname, or I forgot to put you on my list, please leave a comment or PM me.

I read a LOT of Anthony's book last night and today. It's like the saddest book ever!!!

It seems weird to end this like a letter or something, but I will anyways.

Mucho Love,

Rachel <3

There's:

Ashlee: Ah. ASHLEE!! Met her on the The Person Above You thread. :) She said if my friends made fun of me for not eating a lot, she would slap them. :) thanks ashlee. lol...

Cassi: :) Is a theater geek and a RENThead like me. She comforted me when I was scared about watching Over the Moon late at night. haha.

Audrey: AUDIBLE AUDREY!! Is my audible audrey! :D

Amy: AUSTRALIAN AMY!! I claimed her to be my australian amy...even though she's not australian! HOW FREAKIN AWESOME IS THAT?

"Its a true story actually! I am not even kidding! I read it on Wikipedia!"

BAHAHAHA.

hey

I figured out how to add blog posts from my itouch but its still easier to do it from the computer
so no more for this post. More tomorrow I promise!

i have to type fast so sorry for typos

read the title.

i'm supposed to get off the comp RIGHT NOW but i can't post blog posts on my ipod for some reason.

sorry for not posting tomorrow and for this lame post.

buh bye.

sorry, but no quote or pic today. i'll post double tomorrow.

Fanzels on Blogger! :O Also, some stuff about fruit...yah, that's right. Fruit.

So I very recently found out (like 5 minutes ago, lol) that some fanzels have blogs on Blogger! Funny stuff on their blogs, dudes. Funny stuff.


Tay and Sarah:


Do you guys know if Jamie has a blog? I would like to follow her blog if she does and I was just wondering. Thanks. :)


Okay, so I finally finished Rent (success!) after like 4 nights/days lol....hey I'm busy.....well not really.....I'm just addicted to IMMB and Twitter....


Anyways I finished Rent, and I was like that was SO good, but I was all depressed. It is a very depressing movie. But then I got bored and so I started it again, lol. I got to the beginning of I'll Cover You and hopefully I'll finish it tonight. I hate being one of the only fanzels who hasn't seen it like more than 10 times....


I lost count of how many times I saw Finding Nemo at 30.....does that count for anything? It has Ellen in it...although I didn't know who she was or that she was in it at the time.....


On Twitter, Tay, Sarah, and Jamie (Fanzels) have been having "Twitter Battles" and it's quite funny. I kind of feel stalkerish though cause I'm not taking part in the battles, I'm just reading what they post.....but I guess you do that in blogs too, and that's kind of the point of Twitter (not the battles but seeing what other people post and yah) Okay I feel like an idiot now....


Three words: Peach, Coconut, and Grapefruit. That's four words if you include 'and' ,but oh well.


Also, I will be adding a Daily Idina Quote in every post from now on. That's all. Buh bye.





Daily Idina Picture:

ah.......screenshot from Rent.

Daily Idina Quote:

"I'm going to tell you, not only am I a snorter, but I pee in my pants sometimes. Sometimes when I'm drinking too much water when I'm singing and stuff and somebody makes me laugh on stage, I've peed in my costume, and ran off stage and handed it to the dresser. In runs in the family, the Menzel women have bad bladders, weak ones. This is going to show up on the internet somewhere."

hahahahahahaha. you've gotta love that woman. :D

Happy 4th!

Well, happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you all have fun today.













Turn on your TV to the Macy's 4th of July thing at 9 p.m./8 p.m. central. Idina will be performing. :D :D I'm excited to see how big she's gotten. (Thanks for reminding me Cassi!!)













So last night I watched some more of Rent. I've been watching spread out into days....er nights. Anyways last night I actually got pretty far. I started off at the beginning of I'll Cover You and ended right before Seasons of Love B. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, here's the song order in between:













I'll Cover You






Over the Moon






La Vie Boheme






I Should Tell You






La Vie Boheme B






Seasons of Love B













and so those were the songs I watched last night.....except for Seasons of Love B, of course. I'll be watching that song tonight.













I had a dream last night that the community theater group I'm in decided to do Rent. And for some reason, at the beginning of the dream I was playing Mark and then all of a sudden, I was cast as Maureen....and then, well, forget about the rest.













Anyways..........have a happy 4th of July and go rent RENT!!!!!! It is the best movie ever. No joke. GO NOW. And once you watch it, tell me what you think of it on the comments!













Daily Idina Picture:

THE TANGO: MAUREEN!!!!! (idina's the one in the red dress)

Maureen cheats on Mark and Joanne while they look on.

And because I want to I am putting another picture:

lurvin' it!!!!! Tracie, Adam, Rosario, and Idina. :D :D

Why do you HAVE to have a title???

STILL not much is going on. I finished memorizing all my lines for the musical I'm in. I went over to a friend's house and we had fun.

I uploaded two videos onto youtube. Go here to see them:

So that's about it. If you have any ideas for posts, tell me.

Much love,

Hey.



Again, not much is going on right now...



Still having an AWESOME time on IMMB. Making new friends and talking to them.

Read a thread today about You Know You're An Idina Fan When...



It was HILARIOUS. Great times. I'll post some of the things from that thread later.



Also, I have recently learned that some of my fanzel friends actually read my blog. So fanzel friends, if you are reading this right now, PLEASE COMMENT!! You can just say hi, even. Just something. :) To comment, go to the end of this post and click on the thing that says (insert a number here) comments. And then comment. You don't have to even have an account on blogger.



That goes for the rest of you too. I LOVE COMMENTS.



So um yah. BAI BAI.



P.S. Watch the first video to your right!!



Daily Idina Picture:

Mehehe. IDINA IS EVERYWHERE. ^ see fanzels gathered at a building in like....somewhere to watch Idina's PBS special. Too bad I didn't know about it.....I probably wouldn't be able to go anyways...

HAHAHA.

Just saw THE interview.

Interviewer: Now I know that some of my friends are a bit obsessed with you-

Idina: We don't like using the term obsessed. We like loyal.......sweet.....etc.

:P :P :P

Meh

Hey all.


I really have nothing to talk about.


I watched Ellen last night on TBS (very funny).


Uhhhhhhhhh...........


I started going on IMMB. Tis addicting and VERY SUPER DUPER fun!


And yeah.....

I watched Chess. UBER AWESOMENESS.

Okie pokie then. I guess this is goodbye.

Daily Idina Picture:

THE AHMAHZING VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*cries, laughs, faints, and dies all at the same time*

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. FINALLYYYYYY. IDINA'S B-DAY PROJECT 2009!!!!

aesfldjalkdjfakwlejrowenrwermlwkerm. sorry lol. SPAM.

OK. I AM IN THIS. IDINA SAID THAT THIS VIDEO WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF HER DAY!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
(and for some reason, I am the ONLY one in the video who DIDN'T put where they lived!!! IT WASN"T EVEN IN THE RULES!!!! OH WELL I DON'T CARE CAUSE IDINA SAW THE VIDEO I WAS IN!!!!!!!!) *cries, laughs, faints, and dies all at the same time.* SHE HAS SEEN MY FACE!! (and the fact that I love her with an exclamation point cause that was part of my birthday wish for her!!!)

WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GO WATCH THE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S RIGHT ABOVE THIS POST!!!!!!!!

These made me smile. :) idina-crazed post. Read at your own risk.

Here are some conversations that fanzels had with each other. :)

Me: Have fun!!! Sounds great! Dont forget about us! :)

Fanzel#1: I can't forget about you guys! We all love Idina and nothing can change that, right? I'm gonna have a laptop, so I'll still be on and I'll post blogs about my vacation and all that, too. This is my whole life: Wicked and Idina, so yah right, I can NEVER forget! C: Love you guys! *and Idina too (duh)*

~~

Fanzel #2 (to me): you always make me feel good about my funniness (if thats a word :) i think you commented on my signature too :) i love your user name :) i always say that randomness is the spice of life. and thanks for reminding me about the tonys! soo sad that idina didnt present anyting :( but cheno did a good job.
ps was dee even at the tony's???

~~

And here's just some stuff that someone posted that explains one of the main reasons we love idina so much:

She does feel everything. Over and over, each song, every night, she opens herself up and allows herself to feel everything in every song, every word, every breath, every ounce of pain that went into writing it, every bit of heartbreak and love and anguish is being relived before our eyes. It's like we're looking inside of her, feeling the hurt, the love, and the passion, we feel everything.

There's a lyric from a song called "Rise Up" that Idina sings that night that accurately describes her and the way she performs to a tee: Sing til you're breaking glass or you're breaking down.

Every song is like a breakdown. Every song is a kaleidoscope of fear, love, and strength. It all seems so draining and tiring, yet therapeutic too. Everything she feels isn't bottled up or contained somewhere to fester and explode, it flows freely. She exudes it for us to see and for us to feel.

When we're walking the fine line between love and hurting, we aren't alone because Idina's there too. When we don't know where we're going and we're bleeding and afraid, Idina is there to inspire us and instill in us the will to go on. She's real enough that we can relate to her, and part of that feeling is the way she talks so openly with the audience, the way she curses at her microphone pack for breaking, the way she throws temper tantrums and is so uninhibited and honest that we feel everything.

~~

and, well, this was just funny:

She takes out her frustration out on the mic stand during the bridge. She pushes it over and pouts at it as it lies on the ground.

~~

Okay. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Daily Idina Picture:

*dies again*

Content. I AM CONTENT.

hi. well, the title is pretty much self-explainitory. yes, I am content. I am tired (I need to get more sleep) and slighty annoyed (no Two-For-Tuesdays for TWO WEEKS). Besides that, nothing really new is going on. Except that I watched a funny Idina interview with Craig Ferguson! Here are some quotes from it:









*some may not be accurate cause i have a bad memory. sorry. they're as close as I could make them.









Craig: What's your favorite site?




Idina: London.




Craig: You can't get there on a tour bus!!!!!!.....




Idina: ....oh wait....did you say state or city?




Craig: .....unless your tour bus can turn into a boat.




Idina: yes. our tour bus goes onto the water and then transforms into a big boat.



~



Idina: I had my big black biker boots on, but they didn't like them, so they cut my legs off.



Craig: Yah, showbiz is tough.















Okay, so I only wrote two. There are way more, but some aren't exactly G rated and others I am too lazy to type. :P







Bai.

"It annoys her that I like putting outfits together. She was a tomboy growing up and prefers jeans and a T-shirt."-Taye

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I LOVE TIDINA!!!!! *dies*

I forgot!

Oh yah.
I forgot to write in my other post that I saw a bag once that said, "I'll be your Bella if you'll be my Edward." But what it really should say is: "I'll be your Idina if you'll be my Taye." :) <3

Therefore, I am going to decorate a plain bag and write that on there.

That is all.

A Blog Post (I DON'T KNOW, OKAY???)

Ah.

1. I went to a Coldplay concert last night!!! It was so fun and AMAZING!! They are such a talented group! They are one of my favorites now!!!

Omg and the main guy layed down on the stage and people in the audience reached for him and started rubbing him!!!!! It was so HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

2. Tony's are tonight!! So EXCITED!!! Cheno is announcing!!!! :D :D :D Hopefully, Tidina will be there!!!! 9 TO 5 ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!

3. I looked at......well let's just say a LOT of pics of Idina today. I can't help it! It's fun and the comments (and pictures) are HILARIOUS!

ex: "I've still got it!"

"TAYE!!! HELP!! GET THIS OLD MAN OFF OF ME!!!"

"haha. deer in headlights."

"Wonder Woman!"

"Joanne, point the way to the stage!"

"No need to fear, Idina Menzel is here!!"

"Guy: Who the heck is Idina Menzel??

Idina: o_O"

My point exactly.

4. Okay, idinamenzel.com:

It made me happy. :) I also bought the RENT dvd so now I can watch it as many times as I want. :) And I'm writing a RENT story, so i'll be posting that soon and working on it on here, cause i type faster than i write lol.

Today, we might also be buying an air hockey table, so I'm excited about that.

I had a dance recital last night and it went pretty well. :)

And then she met Taye Diggs, they dated for 7 years and then got married on January 11, 2003 in JAMAICA.

Then she did Wicked.....





















...And Rent (movie version)....

....AND Wicked in London.....

.....And well then she broke her ribs, and then came back for her "final show" in a red track suit. (which, ha, according to a rumor, was taye's). Omg, you can see her dimples!!! :D

"Fellow Ozians........I LOVE IDINA MENZEL."

and then later she came out with an album called I Stand. (Go buy if you haven't already.)

and now she's gonna have a baby boy on sept. 6!!! :D :D :D

Daily Idina Picture:

Dee looks adorable with her pouty face!!!! She also looks really young....figures cause this was like 10 years ago lol. Wilson's hair....WOWWWWWW. OMG look at Jesse!!! lol....

Here's the AMAHZING blog post review thingy (I'll highlight my favorite parts in GREEN in case you don't want to read everything (Shame on you.) )

First of all, I CANNOT say enough about how impressed I am that Idina was willing to come down and do this show. Here's the story... Phil (the guy organizing the event) was apparently in RENT at one point in time. He became good friends with Idina and he told some stories about how she got him into one of the Wicked workshops at one point, and he had encouraged her after she didn't get a part in Thoroughly Modern Millie (apparently tap dancing was involved! haha), and he actually is the one that adopted Ella and Coltrane (the "jazz cats") for Idina as a birthday present! So, he's been working on Broadway for years, and then back in August, he moved to Atlanta and got a job as the first Director of Diversity at Pace Academy. He told Idina was he was doing and said (maybe as a joke?) that she should come down and do a benefit for the program. She said she would, but they never nailed anything down. Then, apparently it went back and forth for a while and literally last week, he said that he got a final confirmation e-mail from her saying "I'll be there." So, that explains the lack of publicity and whatnot. This was never intended to be a big thing. He told this incredible story about all of these kids at his school, especially this one girl, who would find out that he'd been in RENT and come sneak into his office and pick his brain on it. They also asked him if he really knew Idina and stuff. So, he knew how incredibly motivational it would be for all of them to get to meet her...
So, that's why she's here, moving on.... This theater holds, I don't know, maybe 250 people, and it wasn't full by any stretch of the imagination. Don't be sad, though. I really don't think they intended for it to be. It was such a casual and intimate thing, I can't even describe it! Apparently they had some technical difficulties of some sort and she was still warming up, and so we they didn't let us into the actual theater until just before 3. There were 5 of us that met up beforehand and we beelined for the front row! I was RIGHT in front of her most of the time, as you'll see in the pics. haha So, after Phil finishes his intro, Idina comes struttin' out and she's just like "hi everybody!" She starts peering out into the audience... she's got her bottle of vitamin water with her... all cool and chilled out. She introduces her piano player, who is the same guy from the spring tour. I got to talk to him later. Very nice guy! He sits down at the piano and she sits down in a like rolly desk chair! haha She talks to Phil a little bit about old memories and how proud she is of him for what he's doing and stuff. Then she asks if everybody can hear her okay because she'd rather not USE A MIC!!! Ahhhhh!
So, she sings I Stand, just incredibly! Then she does the most beautiful performance of No Day But Today (that's the one I recorded!!!) and she walks offstage at one point to sing the end with Phil. Then they have several of the students come up and perform, and let me tell you, these are some TALENTED KIDS!!! They were amazing. She gave each one of em a big hug and was so sweet to them. Then they did a Q&A. It was literally just a raise your hand and they'll call on you thing. They mostly called on the little kids and they asked some really precious questions. Nothing at all inappropriate. One girl got a little detailed about asking specific advice for her own fledgling career, but that's the worst of it. The really little kids were just precious!
Then at the end she sang Heaven Help My Heart *faint again* and Defying Gravity. There may have been one more at the end, but I can't remember. I'll check the audio... It really wasn't ANYTHING like a normal concert. It was so small and personal. She brought up the baby long before anybody else could. She hugged the belly a couple of times, which was adorable. Someone did ask her what her next career move would be and she said that having the baby was really what she was focused on right now. She said she knew that there would be another album and another broadway show, and she wanted all of that, but that right now she was taking some time to focus on being a mom. She also talked about how close the diversity issue was to her knowing that she had a baby one the way, and she didn't explicitly mention that her baby would be interracial, but she implied that had a lot to do with why this touched her heart.
SO... after the "show" was over, we left the school and went to the headmaster of Pace Academy's MANSION! It was freakin' HUGE! And I sell luxury homes for a living. This thing was NICE! They had a huge spread of little sandwiches, and drinks and stuff. We just milled around talked to people. Met some really neat people. I didn't see her come in, but at some point we realized that there were people in a room at the far end of the house, so we went over there and she was sitting on couch talking to people and signing autographs. We just hung out in the room watching her (creepy I know) for a while, then eventually got in line and did our little meet and greet thing. I FINALLY got my lithograph signed! Yay! FYI - Poor thing was trying to eat lunch while she was signing!
She stayed at the house, gosh, probably for an hour and a half or two hours. It was really generous. Everybody got to sit on the couch with her and get something signed or whatever they wanted for at least a minute or two. We left when she did and for the stalkers among you, she left in a blue Honda SUV! haha It was probably Phil's, I'm assuming.

On Thursday is the season finale of Private Practice and on Friday is the 1000th show of Ellen. And I am spending the whole weekend at my friend's house! YES THE WHOLE WEEKEND! FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY! :D

So my friends still aren't checking their email.....well, most of them aren't and I'm still "obsessed" with Idina and Wicked. Some things won't ever change...........which actually I'm pretty happy about.....EXCEPT for the part about my friends not checking their email. COME ON ALREADY!

Daily Idina Picture:

Yup, that's our Idina. With a box of pasta.

Wanna play a game?

A game for you: Play "Where's Idina?" instead of "Where's Waldo?" using the picture above!
