I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...

This song so describes what I feel about my friends. I am so grateful for every single one of my friends whether they live next door or across the country.

New Layout

I got tired of my layout so I changed it. I like it for now. :)

I cannot wait till February 13th. My friend from Virgina is coming up and we are spending the weekend in NYC. She arrives Friday afternoon. I am going to meet her at Penn Station then we are going to go to the hotel. We are going to then do Top of The Rock and hopefully meet someone else for dinner. Then Saturday we are doing another walking food tour of NYC and meeting friends for dinner. We are having a dateless girls night out. Sunday we are going to see Wicked. :) My friend Nancy has never seen it and since I have seen it there is a new lead. Then she is leaving Monday.

I don't see her all that much so I am excited to see her.

Everything came out negative. Wahoooo!!!

So I didn't go to work today cause I have to go for a mamogram later. Not too freaked out cause the doctor yesterday said she didn't feel anything and that if it was cancer you usually don't get a pain associated with it.

Seriously all this snow is making me cry. It seems like we had enough snow already to last the rest of the winter. I wouldn't complain if my job closed in bad weather but I work in a nursing home and they never close.

Spring cannot come soon enough so I can take pictures. My friend is going to be in NYC in February and then another friend in April. In February we are having a dateless loveless girls night out for Valentine's Day.

President Obama's girls had off of school today and he goes for what. Ice. Don't forget they are from Chicago and school is never off. It was so cute.

Well, I gotta get going.

I went and saw Bride Wars over the weekend. Such a cute movie but it was predictable. My college roommate gave me a gift card for Christmas so I didn't even have to pay for the movie. It was only $6.00 to get in though. Not bad.

Last night I went out to listen to music with the parents. The only reason I went was cause my brother's friend James and his girlfriend was going. The poor girl was sick but they still came. I have seen the band before but they did some funny songs that I haven't heard before.

Ughhh here comes the snow. Well, tomorrow night into Wednesday. I refuse to stay Wednesday night if my co worker calls out. She better show up. Why should I have to work till 8pm? I am tired of doing 11 and a half hour days.

I am going to make a doctor's appointment for tomorrow. If I have to be late for work so be it. I wanted to go to the doctor's today but my co worker is off. I have been getting a pain in my chest and I want to get it checked out. Would rather the doctor say it is nothing then it be something serious.

Wicked

I just love this. Someone posted the link to this on SZ.

President Obama has a nice ring to it. I missed the inauguration cause I was working. But you know it will be all over the news tonight.

I have to say I am thrilled to have a new president. It will be interesting to see what he does with what he got. Best of luck to him.

Michelle Obama looked stunning and I loved her dress.

His daughters were just so adorable. How cool would it be to say that your dad is the President of the USA. Such an honor. What do you call the children of the president? First daughters.

Wonders what kind of dog the Obama's are getting?

You know when you look back at history you can you were alive when the first black president was put into office. At least this is something joyful. Cause you can say in years to come I was alive when 9/11 happened.

If you would like to see more Megan pictures head on over to my other blog:

Part 2

I am so sad that the Eagles didn't win the game. It would have been cool to have an all PA Super Bowl. Cause I hate the Steelers (ok my friend Michelle is a fan so I have to root against her team) Go Cardinals!!

I wish it would stop snowing. Snowed in the morning then snowed again while I was driving home. Is it spring yet??

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! If Mr. King was still alive he would be 80 and I wonder what he would have thought about President Elect Obama. I am thrilled about our new president but he has inherited such a mess.

So there is a possibility that my best friend might be up from NC for her birthday which happens to fall during my time out west so I might not even get to see her. Sobs. :(

Nicole Parker who is the new Elphaba in Wicked in NYC singing Defying Gravity as Sarah Palin. I love it.

I am a huge fan of Idina Menzel's. For those who don't know she was Maureen in the original cast of Rent and Elphaba in Wicked. Almost a year ago she put out her own CD I Stand which I love. I saw her at a CD last February and 3 concerts in the last year. I just love her music.




Me and Idina from NYC Concert 6/25/08

I am going to 2 more concerts in March. The first one is in NJ with my college roommate Donna. She has never probably hear Idina but I asked if she wanted to go. I am staying at her house since she knows where the event is being held. It's cheaper then paying for a hotel down there.

The second concert which is the one I bought a ticket for first is in Long Island and I am going with my friend Dianne. Her son goes to college where the concert is being held. She met Idina at the CD signing last year.

I realized as much as I complain about living in NJ I am very fortunate in what I get to do.

6 degrees outside right now. But once you factor in wind chill it is below 0. In the negative numbers. How I wish I was somewhere warmer. Winter just sucks when you have to go out in it.

I am so going to spending all day cleaning my room if it kills me.

A few more days till bye bye Bush and welcome Obama.

Videos...

I am so getting myself a ticket for 9 to 5 on Broadway. It starts previews in April.
