I GOT MY NEW MOON TICKETS!  The first showing on Friday the 20th sold out in less than half an hour, but I was the first to get 8 tickets for the 10:10 showing.  I’m going to see New Moon, I’m going to see New Moon.  Only a week after the Darlene Zschech concert.  I am feeling a little over indulgent and spoiled.  My husband is almost too selfless.  I feel …overblessed.  Seriously.  I seem to have won the "significant other  lottery".  Sorry ladies.

I have been studying my keister off..Art History (Michelango, Raphael, Poussin, Rembrandt..the classics) until like 3 or 4 am for over a week now.  I am feeling a little keyed up..WAY over tired.  But, it all pays of, I made Dean’s Honor List for Summer session again.  I also got invited to take a 4 year advanced/honors course.  It sure strokes me ego, and the call of distinction and money is strong…but I love my family and want to work for something that draws us together not draws me away for weeks/months at a time.  Still….with a PH.D I could be DR. ERICA HILDEBRAND.  It does sound..well…PERFECT! 

I am waiting rather impatiently for several books to come my way - the second book in the Hunger Games By Suzanne Collins, the second book in the Dreamhunter series, Deadlock, the new Lincoln Child/Douglas Preston book too.  So many good books, not enough time.  I would also like to see Zombieland, Hillsongs United in theatres, Fame and the new Metropolitcan Opera theatre series.  I will likely not see any of them..but it would be nice if money and time were of no issue. 

But as it were, it is.  So I must study.
