And I am Still Smiling

...Well, beaming actually!

I waited all day for the Teresa Collins announcement.  Would I be on the list?  Would many of my fabulous friends be on the list?  I kept checking my email and wondering.  Nothing.  I figured, well, maybe not.

I got home from work and my machine was blinking.  I pushed played like I have a million times before, except this time...the message was from Teresa Collins herself.  OMG...really???  She was coy.  I tried to call her back but there was no answer so I left a message.

Yep, I played phone tag with Teresa Collins.

Then, my phone rang and I saw the caller ID.  I ran upstairs to talk because my kids typically fight, yell and bother me when I am on the phone.  Didn't want Teresa to think she had just chosen a woman with the crazies.

I was pacing and talking.  She is sooo sweet and genuine.  I have seen her many times at CHA and she is hard to get close to...there is usually a crowd!  And there she was having a conversation with me.  And it was a heartfelt one at that!  I gushed...paced...

and then smelled the smell of burning toast.  I forgot I had put in a few pieces of swirly bread in the toaster oven for Ella, pre phone call.  I raced downstairs and thought...oh gosh, please don't let there be a fire. 

There wasn't, of course.  But I did have to make a new batch because it was burnt...nice Stacey, nice.

Shh...don't tell Teresa! 

LOL!  I am looking sooo forward to this term on this amazing team!!!

Still beaming,
