update...and some photos..





well, i promised a few little shop photos...and here they are. The trio, my mom and her friends jody and doris with their heads in the plant,my parents and i with the plant. and then a cute photo of rachel and my nephew xander, who just turned 7. also, a photo of the entire webb clan minus amelia..this was before she was born!

so ...the udated part! I started my new job last week in Indiana for training..and i have to say, I think this is the greatest job and company!I love the product, and the people too..I think this is going to be a great year!

Little Shop opened, finally...and it really is a great show..the cast is really fantastic, and although tech week was really rough, a few people ( namely Seth, Joel and John) really stepped up to make this show come together. On Wednesday of last week, our plant puppeteer quit...2 days before we opened...we had a sub pianist ( who survived admirably, with only about a week's notice), and the plant was not complete...so....John Sosna, a great performer graciously agreed to puppeteer..and he has been fantastic. We finally got the set and plant done...and of course, the magic of theater came into play and we had a great opening.

We had reviewers come this weekend..so look for reviews in the Loveland and Fort Collins papers..hopefully they will be great!
My goals this week are to take down my tree and organize my house...let's see if I can get that done!

I also am looking forward to getting my samples and playing with all the new Vera Bradley product...stay tuned!

Little Shop of Horrors...1988 version!



In 1988, I was in a production of Little Shop my senior year of high school..with my very good friends...Keri, Sarah, Sean, Vale, Charity, Chris and Dave. We had so much fun...and since I am about to open in Little Shop...2008.. i thought it would be fun to post the first version photos...and next week i will post some from this one!

christmas etc...with the webbs






christmas photos...of the webbs. the first is amy, my next in line sister and her 3 kids- tyler is almost 14, jake is 12 and katie is almost 9. next- all the webb girls and soon to be webb girls...amy, my mom lynda, jalyn in the back..and lexie ( nathan's new fiance), rachel, katie and baby amelia!

next. is a photo from Beauty and the Beast this summer..I just like it because...a.) I am a teapot. I love teapots, I collect teapots, and it is cool to be your favorite inanimate object.
b.) Scot ( gaston) is hot. He is a married father with 4 kids...but really good looking..and nice too...and the perfect Gaston. I just like being in a photo with him.

The tree is in my cute condo. My first tree that I have had since I moved back to Colorado..my first single person tree! My parents showed up one night in December- with a tree in a box..it had the lights on it and everything- and we set it up- I actually had enough ornaments! When I got divorced, I left everything in Kentucky except my clothes and shoes and music. ( Including ornaments..some even from childhood). 2 years ago some of my good friends had a surprise birthday party for me and everyone brought me ornaments..and this is the first time they have all been up! COOL!

Last..Amy, Rachel and I making our "DIVA" faces..my sisters always make fun of me and say that I pose like this... so now we always take a photo this way!


SO...my last day at Starbucks was yesterday! Yeah! I now have a week off before I go to Indiana for training..I am excited ! This is tech week for Little Shop- and I have never had a tech week that I wasn't working full time..so that will be awesome to have some time to really focus on the show. The show runs at the dinner theater in Greeley from Jan 11-March 2nd! Get your tickets...it is a great show!

the best and worst of 2007


i am taking a cue from my good friend and superb blogger gay slade, and reviewing the year! soo...what did 2007 hold?

Best Book...
well, anyone who knows me realizes that every book I read is the best..and every album, every song..so i will try and narrow it down.

I think my favorite book this year was "eat, pray, love" by elizabeth gilbert. I think the notion of taking a year to do those very things..is a great one. I don't know if i will ever be able to take a year off for a journey like that, but it sure would be amazing..and just following on her journey was incredible. A close runner up would be Harry Potter, of course..mainly because I waited so LONG to read it!

Best Album...has to be James Taylor, "one man band". I have always loved him, and this album is his best,i think. so great! I also really love the soundtrack from "across the universe" and the "sweeney todd" soundtrack..but maybe that is just because of johnny depp.


best baby....
easy. the beautiful amelia..my newest niece.she is sideways because i don't know how to turn the picture.

she is being held by my equally cute sister, her mother rachel.
( who has 4 kids...so she is also slightly cuckoo. )



Worst moment...oh man. I think it would have to be the day that the sure shot ( the machine that holds the frappucino mix at Sbux) came undone and the entire content of said machine exploded onto me...that was a bad one. and probably the day I realized I probably was not long for the world of the bux.

sooo..that is a good start to my list.. more later when I figure out how to put pictures in the correct way.





a new year...


well..a new year. a blog..what is this world coming to?

Great new things for me...a new job, beginning Jan 14th as the Northern CO/Eastern WY Sales Consultant for Vera Bradley Handbags...check them out at www.verabradley.com~ I am so excited to get back to the things that I LOVE!

Also~ "Little Shop of Horrors" at the Union Colony Dinner Theater opens Jan 11th...thru March 2nd..please come see the show! It is a GREAT cast..if I do say so myself....
