| Friday, November 23, 2007 Finally...Sorry it took me so long!!! Current mood: full Hey ya'll!!!! First, I should probably apologize for being MIA for the past couple months. I do come on here and read the comments, but I have been going so much I haven't had time to respond like I want to and catch you up on what's been going on. So, let's see here…what have we missed? I finished the tour…duh, I know. But I just never got a chance to say that I had the very best time with my all my babies. I was so proud to be on the stage with every single one of them. I can't wait to see what God is going to do in each of their lives. I know they will be a successful bunch. So, to Sligh, GiGi, HayBay, Jaya, Philness, Husband, Kish, Blaker and Baby Girl…here's to making history!!! Since the tour, I have had so much fun doing corporate dates, appearances and even some great charities out there. It was a blast! I met Mickey Mouse, ate great food, got a VIP tour of DisneyWorld, ate great food, rode in my first cable car, ate great food, had an amazing birthday party, ate great food, signed with great management, ate great food, took my mommy to the White house, ate great food (with the president), did some recording (no date for the album so far, sorry!), ate great food, hosted Christmas at Belmont, ate great food, sang a whole bunch, ate great food, got to meet some amazing Backups, ate great food and so on…which means…I had to go shopping with my best friend Kelley because I don't think I quite fit in the clothes I had previous to all the great food. Oops…my bad…did I mention the food was great? Anyway, I have had the best time and I am so excited about what's next. Coming up, there is the Michael W. Smith Christmas Tour with the Katinas and I get to go into the studio and do what I love! I am so thankful to God for opening doors I never imagined. I know that I owe all of this to Him and I will spend the rest of my life and all eternity thanking Him for it. That's why I am so excited to have just had Thanksgiving Day. I absolutely love the reminder to be grateful for all that life has to offer. Even when things don't turn out how I thought they might, I know that His plan is so much better than my own and that the right things always happens when God is control. It's amazing! So I said all that to say…I have learned at least 10 things since the tour…ready??? 1. It is possible to actually miss the ten people you have been with for the entire year…and it is impossible to be any more proud of all of them. 2. When you visit DisneyWorld, just know that there is a 50/50 chance Mickey Mouse is a girl. Just try talking to him…her…the mouse. 3. If you want to have a roller skating party for your birthday, you may need to purchase collision insurance for certain family members that will remain nameless… 4. If you find yourself sitting next to the President for dinner and they place your soup far away from you, feel free to move the soup closer instead of scooping it up in your spoon and praying to God it stays on the spoon on that long trip to your mouth…because it probably won't make it. Thank the Lord for strategically placed napkins. 5. The song "Have A Nice Day" does not go over too well if you are singing at a convention that starts at 8:30am. 6. If you are singing for an ice skating event, you might want to wear something a little warm since you might be right next to the ice…a sleeveless, above the knee dress does not count. 7. If you are hosting an event, you may want to know how to pronounce the name of the venue…can anyone say Schermerhorn? Anybody? 8. There is no incognito if you have "The Doolittle" nose. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it does cover a good portion of my face and is therefore hard to disguise…clown noses don't even fit. 9. The Tennessee Titans may not win every game, but when you are on the sidelines with them, you understand why they are the best team ever. They are the greatest guys!!! And if Vince (so very) Young calls you "baby", you may forget that you call him "so very Young" to remind yourself that you are much older than he is. 10. Spanx do not work on sweet potato pie, chocolate cake and apple pie all at the same time. I guess they can only hold in so much of your stomach. Oh! And cheese burgers and French fries and carrot cake and steak…such good steak… ***Bonus*** Joining a fitness center does not automatically make you fit. And if you decide to go to the gym and use their ever so clever cardio theater, you might want to get on one of the machines as opposed to just watching the movie… *That one was on the house… |
