Christine, you're talking in riddles
And it's not like you
-- "Angel of Music" from The Phantom of the Opera

I've been rocking out old school this week -- meaning, despite the fact that I have 3 off the hook, banging new CDs (Kelly Clarkson, Fleetwood Mac and Jessica Andrews), I've been listening to tapes. Yes, yes, y'all -- remember cassette tapes??

Anyway, I managed to listen to my beloved "Phantom" a few times before it broke. Oh well, I did have it for 10 years after all. Because of the success of "Chicago" and all, I'm hearing Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is gearing up to finally make a movie version of the musical. Should be interesting. How are they going to do it?? "and do I dream again, for now I find, the phantom of the opera is here, inside my mind."

Anyway, much love to Heather, because girl, I smiled and almost teared up when I heard "Wishing you were somehow here again". I could literally see myself sitting at the Talent show, bursting with pride at you and Grace raising the roof with that song. I love you and miss you! =) (You're cool, too, G! Glad we can hang all the time!) =)

So, in keeping with the sentimental, I'm posting some Kelly lyrics here. This goes out to all of you that read the site. I love all of you and I'm thankful that you're in my life!!

"I'm thankful, for the blessin' and the lessons that I've learned with you by my side. And I'm thankful for the joy you keep bringing in my life. So thankful."

love to you all!
