This is what I wanted to do when I grew up, Be ON BROADWAY!!!!!!!!
Two weeks ago, Shane called me from work and asked if I wanted to go to see "Chicago"! Ofcourse, I jumped on it! The traveling Broadway group came to Toyata Center! I loved it! The acting,singing and dancing were wonderful! I was taken back to my childhood dreamland.....
When I was a tiny(I was skinny.... until I gave birth)girl,my first dream was to be a dancer in the Disneyland parade. I loved going to Disneyland and watch the characters or even just the dancers strut down Disneyland Main Street! I lived close enough to join the dancing team at 16! UHHH...NO! Just a dream!
My mom was always choregraphing some roadshow or stake musical and I loved dancing and acting in them! My dream was to become one of those long legged, high kickin dancers on stage, or the dramatic hand to the forehead, pouty lipped diva! I love everthing about it! The cosutmes, the makeup, the lights, the music, the feeling!!!
But, I was a 5"6' girl from a good ol mormon family that taught the importance of getting an education and aspiring to be married and a mother! (Which of course, is the upmost important thing!)
So, my dream never begot itself. I can act and dance for my husband, and I always get an appaulse!(Even being chubby:)!!!) But.....we still can dream and enjoy others aspiring to thier dream!
What was your childhood dream?

You kind of got to be what you wanted to be...wasn't your job as Chucky Cheese a bit like dressing up as a Disney Character? :)
Oh how we are so much alike. We need to get together and have a broadway movie night with all the old classics. I am going to go look at the calendar right now :)
Just to let you know....Gabe doesn't stop talking about school! He just loves it, it is a blessing that he gets to go to your school.
Thanks!
You would have been fantastic on Broadway!
How is preschool going?! We need to get together for our preschool/lunch dates again! What day would be good for you this month?
For some reason I always thought I would be a marine biologist. I really love the ocean...but I'm not very scientific.
You can still do Broadway, your never too old to act and sing!
I wanted to go and see Chicago soo bad but we were out of town that weekend. Did you just love it?? You would be amazing on broadway but then I would not have met you and that is not acceptable!
I always thought I'd be a dancer too but apparently you have to be tall and skinny for that and me, well, not so much.
But I love to dance. Maybe one of my girls will carry on that dream for me. Or, more realistically, one of my boys...
I honestly don't remember my childhood dream. Now you've got me thinking, maybe I wasn't much of a dreamer.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the show, I love live performances.
I wanted to be a dancer when I was little too. But then I realized that I had no rythym, so that dream died. Then I wanted to be an anesthesiologist....don't ask me where that dream came from, or where it went. ;)
Dream on Miss Kristen, dream on!
It's still not too late! :) Musicals are so fun, I want to be in MamaMia
I wanted to go to Chicago, you lucky!! I agree you should go for it, you would be great!!
I would play Big Mamma!
