22nd Annual Spirt of Christmas

The curtain closed late this evening for the 22nd annual Spirit of Christmas. It was an amazing show as always.

This was Kai's fifth year performing, and I still have not gotten used to how well this show comes together. Despite the fact that it changed venues three times, it still looked good. It started in Tucson, then moved to Mesa Arts, and finished with two show at Gammage. I watched the evening show at Gammage, and it was pretty flawless. No major mishaps.

When you look at the show from the front of the stage, it's hard to imagine the craziness that goes on backstage. The running around, the quick costume changes and the nerves and emotions.

So many props and costumes. A lot of hard work goes into putting on this show.

They always have guest performers, Tony Duncan the Indian Hoop dancer from here in Arizona. I can never get tired of seeing him perform. This year, they also had a group of Flemenco performers. They were so good. I wanted to hear more. Their name is Mosaico Flamenco. Here is a link to their website if anyone is interested. I am so making plans to head over the Gainey Ranch and see them perform again.

Here are the few pictures that I have from the Christmas Show this year. Unfortunately, my phone was stolen on Saturday night, and a lot of my photos were on there. Sad, so sad.

Thankfully ProPix took pictures of the show and I will be able to get at least those pictures.

Next year.......Christmas show back at Chandler Center for Arts and six shows again.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Where do I begin???

After a long absence from my blog, I am finally sitting down to post. So much has happened in the past month that I honestly don't know where to begin. December 23, 2009 turned my world upside down. My mom suffered a minor heart attack, and was taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital. When I arrived, she was in good shape, and she was talking. They ordered a CT Scan of her chest. When she got back to the ER from her test, every thing that could have gone wrong, did. She suffered another heart attack, this one was much worse. She was in-tubated and things were not looking very good for her. The next few days were spent waiting for tests to be run, consulting with Dr.s and praying. A lot of praying. We were finally told that she would need to undergo a quadruple bypass. There was a problem with that, because she was in critical condition. Her kidneys were failing, her blood pressure was to high, as was her blood sugar. And, she was to weak. The surgeon said that we would
