for stacey

...and megan, you would like this too, and probably any of my "wicked" (as in the musical, folks) loving friends - Chess in concert is coming to PBS in june!!!

i've been watching horrible copies of this on youtube for months. sooooo glad it's finally ready to be released. i have to admit josh groban is not my favorite voice, but i think kerry ellis' voice is as beautiful as idina menzel. i will definitley be watching.

SQUEeeeee!!! This is one of my all-time favorite musicals - I literally grew up to this music! I'm a bit nervous about the cast of voices and am most anxious to see if "Pity the Child" can send shivers down my spine!

you know, i have to admit that i don't think "i know him so well" sounds so great - i wonder if idina menzel & kerry ellis' voice range is too similar. but someone else's story on youtube by kerry ellis is beautiful!

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
