The Help

 

 Couldnt. Put. It. Down.

Ask my brothers, who teased me mercilessly, and they'll tell you I never get this way about reading.  Ever.  But 530 pages of this novel werent enough for me.  If it had been a true story I'd be scouring the internet for more info on these people.  

Summary here.   

Movie comes out August 12.

Get it. Read it. Love it.

Shrek the Musical

My small girlfriends and I were able to go to Shrek the Musical the other night, thanks again to Uncle Paul!  Uncle Paul is SO good to me! :)  We had a great time including a sleep over!

The Musical!

I thought it was good, especially when we moved to the Mezzanine seats.  But the singing was good and the set and props were very cool!  Recommend!
