Did you feel it? I think the earth moved. I am quite sure it did....Mr. Wonderful blogged again.........I so wish I had a good Christmas story. I can't think of one except one that is sweet, but makes me cry a lot and I don't want to try and stand next to Clay and cry my eyes out....I would want to do a funny one....in my life there must be something funny that happened at Christmas, but for some reason, nothing springs to mind.....well.....maybe something will pop into my head at around 2 AM....that is when pretty much when I think of everything.....like did I remember to pay the Mortgage....did I remember to take that really expensive blouse out of the dryer before it melted? Did I feed my family? So, you may have noticed I haven't been here for a while. You all have missed me terribly I know....or had a nice break. LOL I know Clay has missed me something awful. So much so that he has decided to move 45 miles from me and get a really cool job where he has to wear tights every night. How did I get so lucky? Clay in tights.....kinda made my mind wander there.....alrighty then where was I? Oh yeah, Clay in tights...........

So much has gone on here since I last blogged. I saw Clay in Newark. See pic below. I was on the 7th row...... in the center. Awwww that was so nice! At one point, I was looking around the venue there which is pretty and looks new and I was looking at the orchestra and just taking it all in while Clay was talking one time. I did this shiver thing, which I thought was a small shiver thing. I looked at Angie and she was laughing at me. Then I looked over at Clay and Quiana and back to Angie and she was still laughing. Well, they have to have something to talk about the on the bus...the crazy lady on the 7th row....Oh and speaking of the bus, I FINALLY got to be in the handshake line! I know many of you have had this experience and more than once, but this was my first time and oh wow....it was great!!!!!!! It was my first time and he was gentle with me :) He is really such a sweetie. I think Jerome would like the handshake business to go away, but Clay is just so nice to do this. I put my hands out, palms side down, and Clay came along and he touched my left hand and squeezed my right hand. He said something like "Oh My Gosh!! It is so great to finally meet you.....I have been looking forward to it for years!" OR maybe it was "thanks for coming out tonight" something like that...... Those of you in the general tri-sate area (NY, NJ, CT) may have heard me. I tried not to go over the top fangirly and scream, but when he was about 6 people down after me, I may have screamed a little. I may have self control issues....I may have a lot of things....but one wonderful thing I will always have is the memory of that night......

As every breathing even semi-conscious Clay Aiken fan knows, HE was in the chat room about a week ago. There is a thread on the MB about what you would ask Clay in the chat room, if you got the chance. I have some questions, probably too many....anyway here are some of the things I want to ask him:

How do you plan on fitting our wedding in with all that is going on in your career right now?

So, do you think 3 months is long enough for a honeymoon?

Will Raleigh and Durham come along with us?

How many children do you want?

If say, insanity runs in my family, is that a problem?

In your house, do Raleigh and Durham sleep in their own beds?

You didn't really think you and Jemock were getting married did you?

Why do you keep changing your phone number?

What color tights will you be wearing during Spamalot? Should I get the same color so we match?

Have you tried on the tights yet? Are there pictures?

Why don't you ever return my calls?

Which room will be your dressing room at the Shubert?

During Spamalot, if I keep blowing you kisses from, let's say close to the stage, would that distract you?

How often do you read these blogs?

How many minutes from the moment this is posted will Jerome be informed?

Are you still able to run as fast as you used to?

Newark...I am in the orange shirt with long brown hair....I can't decide.....is he really happy to see me or does he want to run quickly back to the bus....

I did not take any good pictures that night at Newark....an example:

I don't know who took this picture or where, but ummm thanks:

In my next life I am coming back as Angela:

The amazing BFS took the next several pictures...Thanks!!!

A really big thank you for this picture:

You can probably figure out why I like this one so much:

Thanks to any photographers whose names I do not have. Thanks for the very nice things you say to me here. Thank you Clay....for everything.......
