I got an email from Josh this morning. He wrote, "DO NOT DIET. You are perfect the way you are." Then he told me he'd call me tonight. It will be nice to talk to him. Email isn't quite the same. Not that the telephone is much better. I just hope we won't spend the whole time talking about my dance teacher's remark about me needing to lose a few pounds.

After dance last night JD and I went over to Angelo's because we heard Mona was there and I wanted to see her. Angelo made us taste his new cheesecake recipe - to die for! So good! I was talking to Ron, one of the doo-wop guys. He told me that the group is going to get back together to perform once Josh is home from England. He asked me if I'd like to sing with them again. I told him I'd like that but I want to sing something besides "The Boy From New York City." He told me to listen to some Barbara Lewis songs and see if I'd like to do a few of them. I went to iTunes and searched for her most popular songs. I downloaded the top three. They are definitely not songs I would normally listen to, but I understand that I have to sing songs that go along with the doo-wop sound. Maybe I just need to listen to them a little more.

Lauren should be here soon. We're heading up to see Alex as soon as she gets here. I'm not real thrilled about driving up there tonight. The weather is supposed to be bad and lets face it, driving anywhere near New York City around rush hour is just plain stupid. The last time I went up there with Josh we got stuck in a backup at the Tappanzee and that wasn't even rush hour. And it always seems like it gets even worse once you're in Connecticut. Oh well. I think I heard the door bell so that means it's time for me to hit the road. I hope this weekend isn't a nightmare!
