I want to tell you that I think my niece Mabel Day is just the cutest thing in the world.
I want to tell you that Hadley ran two miles in about 25 minutes on Saturday. She ran most of the race with my Dad, doing her best to pass ALL THE BOYS. It was very important to her that she pass ALL THE BOYS. Later in the day, when we were driving to a friend’s home for a Cougar Dash Bash, she pointed out the route and said, “There’s where I passed (insert boy’s name). Here’s where I passed (insert boy’s name). I passed (insert boy’s name) here.” This girl is a competitor. She comes to win. I don’t compete with anyone but myself so I’m not sure I’m ready for this.
I want to tell you that I was in the the DC Listen To Your Mother show and oh man was it the best. I had so much fun. I love the women I got to share the stage with. There’s so much I want to say about it but I’m knee deep in thesis writing and I can’t loose momentum so these pictures will have to do for now. As soon as the video is up I’ll post that.
I want to tell you that some of my friends came to hear me and so did my family, and that is just the greatest thing ever. (One of them – AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE – left before I could get her picture.) Thank you, to my friends and family for taking the time out to come and listen to me read. And thank you to my friends who showered me with texts and Facebook messages and the like wishing me luck. You are all the best.
Wow, what a weekend! Sunday really *was* the best.
Absolutely the best!
awesome weekend. so proud of you, callie! and you too, hadley–way to nail that run!
Thanks, Alison! I asked Hadley if she wanted to go for a run with me sometime since she did so well on that race. She said, “I don’t know, Mama. What I did was pretty hard.”
Stars!!!! (You AND Hadley) xoxoxo
Thanks, Cara! Thanks for telling me about LTYM!
Looks like a weekend full of memories! And…. You know Hadley just might have a little Aunt Lucy or Tara in her , which may have combined with Jesses spirit … So I fully expect her to shove someone to the ground while playing Chinese ping pong in the basement. You can’t deny it !!!!
HAHAHAHAHA! You know what? Hadley would TOTALLY shove someone to the ground while playing Chinese ping pong!
Very happy for you. I wound up reading in the OC LTYM show but that’s a long story. I look forward to seeing your video!
Thanks, Kim! And congrats to you too on the OC LYTM show! I’d love to see you read!
