Yep, that’s right, I made it through the 2nd round of eliminations. Ironically I was most nervous about it because I hadn’t really journaled as much as most the other LOs in the contest and the next challenge has to be 40% JOURNALING. Oy vay! Just when I thought a ‘real me’ LO was tough. We also have to use 3 or more photos. At first I was thinking I could do the LO that I’ve been getting pictures of me for about my ‘style’ (if you can call it that) of wearing long sleeve shirts with a t-shirt over them. I have like 5 of these t-shirt/shirt combinations and it seems like that’s all I wear lately (for casual attire). Anyway, I could probably journal a fair amount about my style (or lack thereof) but the thing is they talked about this challenge being about a ‘story’ and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t make it through the next round of cuts trying to pass off my crazy wardrobe as a ‘story’. I’m just not sure what I can journal THAT much about and find 3 photos to go with it. This one is definitely gonna be a toughy.
In other exciting news: Chris from American Idol is talking with the band Fuel about becoming their new lead singer. So I thought for a day I’d do sortof a rockin’ theme for my videos. A little heavier than I usually put on my blog so to appease Dino & the 66% of you who’d rather not have the music start automatically I’ve changed the ‘autoplay’ option to false so you’ll have to press the play button. I’ve been a Fuel fan ever since seeing them in concert with my friend Cheryl probably 6 years ago now. It’s the first time I gained an appreciation for some of the heavier rock music. I have a pretty diverse love for music but before seeing Fuel live I probably would’ve put hard rock right at the bottom with rap and opera. So anyway, I’m excited about the possibility of buying Fuels new album and hearing Chris as the lead singer and I’d definitely go see them in concert again. :)
Hope everyone had a great mother’s day.
congrats on being in the top 100! you definitely deserve it!
Congrats Shawn! Your layout was fabulous! I really, really loved it. Well deserved, definitely!

CONGRATULATIONS on making the top 100!!!! After seeing your #2 page…I can’t see how there would ever be a doubt!!!
Good Luck for round #3!!!!!
You are awesome and I can’t even believe that you don’t think you have a “story” to tell. How about what it is like being the big sister to 4 siblings (picture of all of you by the swingset with dad) then maybe some rollerskating ones (I bet not everyone knows you were the roller rink queen when you worked there) you gotta have some pictures of you back then on rollerskates. Then you met the king of the rink (don’t you have a picture of him doing limbo? Wow we have only started the saga of your life story in this family. Auntiepea is the best Auntie ever! This story just goes on and on. Love ya! MOM
so exciting about Chris – I LOVE THE BAND FUEL! Woohooo! Don’t watch Grey’s but hear many great things about it!
COngrats on making it to the next round – I knew you would!!! And I know you will come up with something fabuolous for the next challenge – you are a great journaler – it is just that you don’t do it much – just make it come from the heart!
