Being a member of the ruling class has it's advantages. I get to boss people around. I can throw a royal fit now and then, blaming it on the aristocratic hormones of course. Let's face it, I rule.
But there are many tasks left to the queen that can dampen the regal spirit.
This week, first and foremost, has been the Arvada 3rd Ward YW's Camp Fund Raising Garage Sale (say that three times, heck, one time, real fast!). It was supposed to be this past Saturday but our latest blizzard put it on hold until the upcoming Saturday. This also mean that during said blizzard my car was outside. Try talking Helen into staying home sometime! I worried so about the Queen Mother stubbornly walking through the slush! Silver lining? More donations are piling up in my garage which will, hopefully, pile up more money. The photo on the right? That's a week old and I've had the items increase by almost 50%. Most excellent. I just wish I wasn't allergic to dust (hack, cough, wheeze...). But the best silver lining? Our cars are shiny and dazzling, even the windows! Now to get the inside to match the outer shell.
To greatly brighten the spirit... drumroll, please... Emily Faria was accepted into the exclusive singing group "Shades of Blue" for her senior year. She joins her sister, Allison. They are both very excited and are starting to scour the internet for dress options to present. Allison is also excitedly scouting out shoes. They are also knee deep in preparations for an audition Tuesday for a spotlight performance in the year end concert. The song is "Alto's Lament" (check it out on youtube, it's hilariously true to what altos face in music).
The royal mind is spinning and the Queen Mother is impatiently waiting to be taken to the post office. We love you all!

Ahhh...Queen of the Realm! Yes it is GOOD!
Hey! I have the opposite problem that you have...I totally cleaned the inside of my car toady and it looks glorious but the outside is disgustingly grimy! With the cost of a car wash not in my budget this week I guess we'll pull out the old hose and freeze our hands off. *****Here's a note of interest to you Arizonans or "Zonies" as my friend calls you. When you live in Colorado or Utah the water comes out of your hose ice cold year round! Brrr!
Congratulations to Emily! That's so exciting, especially for both of the girls to be in the group together! Hopefully they will have a majority in voting in dresses with sleeves. :)
It is good to be Queen. Except when it's dinner time and everyone comes looking for me.
Congrats Emily, Yes I agree hopefully they have the majority in voting for dresses with sleeves :)
I agree it is good to be queen
