I'm a celebrity... apparently.

Spring Break was this past week... A lot of stuff happened, both good and bad. My grandfather has been in the hospital with internal bleeding. The doctors are such geniuses... they can't figure out where he's lost over 4 pints of blood from. Sooooo smart. I hope and pray Grandpa gets better!!

I also went to my old roommate Mandi's wedding to Frank. SO MUCH FUN!!! I love that I got to see Mandi and Allison (another old roommate) after such a long time!! And of course it's fun to see Liz again! I miss living in good ol' 8203 with them. Powdered sugar fights, water balloon fights, singing and dancing around the apartment, a crazy cat, a burned kitchen floor courtesy of Mandi and an exploded boiled egg, a possessed bobble-head Santa... LOTS of memories in that apartment with them! I also caught Mandi's bouquet (WITHOUT knocking anyone down in the process)... I'm 2 for 2 with the last two weddings I've been to. A cute little kid even came up to me at the reception and said, "You caught the bouquet! That means you're going to get married next!"... Gosh, Kid. I hope you're right. And sorry, Liz... I'll let you catch it next time.

My niece also turned three on the 15th. I drove straight to my sister's house from Auburn for the party. Once there, I was approached by another child's mother who said "I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!! You're the one with the online videos! It's so good to meet you!!" ......... Apparently, I'm a celebrity thanks to my facebook videos. And I have fans. Later the lady was leaving and came to me and said "I'm so glad I got to meet you in person!". Awesome. I try to please my fans. I know personal fan meet and greets are important to them...

THEN I went to have lunch with my nephews at their school. I also got to meet my mom's class of second graders. Mom made me sit in a kiddie chair at a desk. Think Billy Madison. My sister Christina was also there with me... I think we almost got in trouble for laughing during my mom's "lecture" on spelling. Oops. After meeting the kids, I was in the cafeteria for my oldest nephew's lunch. I was sitting by myself with the other kids while my sister and nephew got his lunch in the lunch line. I was getting weird stares from the other kids when it happened again... Mobbed by another fan of mine. Another lady came up and said "Can you do me a favor?". I said sure... then she said "Can you post some more of your videos online? Some of your sister??". Seriously... I need to hire a publicist. I can't even go out to lunch without being mobbed anymore. Oh well... being a celebrity isn't always easy, I've found...

And thanks to some little kid, whether from the school, work, or my sister's house, who gave me a wonderful gift: Pink Eye. WTF?! Let's tally on another childrens illness that I've gotten at the age of 22...
