First, Happy (Belated) Birthday Grandma! I hope you had a fantastic birthday, and I am sorry that I could not be there. I was thinking of you, and I hope you had some fun. :)
Uhhh, so I guess I could give y'all a 'quick' update on life. I'm working at the City Museum right now in STL, where I serve gelato. The City Museum (click the name to go to its website) if you don't know is basically a big awesome playground/artsy crazyplace. I love working there, and I've met a bunch of really great people on the staff there. This particular position only goes until September, but I am hoping to move to the floor staff at least part-time in the fall. I costumed The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a couple months ago, which was huge and a lot of fun.
That's my cast! I did quite a chuck of the costumes myself, because I am Julie McCrazyperson. But it went really well. I'm in between shows right now, but in the fall I am actually the producer for a play, not the costume designer. It will be interesting to try on a new role. I also have a volunteer job right now for a website called The Leaky Cauldron. It's a HUGE Harry Potter website. Basically, I am on the staff of a section of it called The Lily and Stag Inn. The basic forum website is here if you want to take a look--I don't think you can actually get into my Reading Group's site without signing up and everything. But it's a big online forum where we are reading through the HP series. Right now we are on book 5. I help run a Reading Room with a few other staffers. I help with things like chapter summaries, discussion questions, creating polls, moderating member discussions, etc. It's very nerdy, and I love it! I'm actually learning a bit more about HTML and code and stuff working on it. Plus, it's a bunch of Harry Potter geeks! Speaking of, I'm drenched in HP right now--I also met a bunch of people through one of my friends at work who are all St. Louis Harry Potter nerds. :) They are great, and we do lots of fun stuff together. A bunch of us went to the midnight release of the Half-Blood Prince movie. :) What else? I start biology classes again in the fall. I'm going in a couple of weeks to visit one of my best friends from high school in Atlanta. Yay! I think that's about it.I'm sorry that I haven't been on much lately, and I will try to remedy that. :) I hope everyone is doing well and is getting some sun!

The costumes look really nice. A play like Lion, Witch, & Wardrobe seems like it would be particularly fun to costume. Lots of creativity gets to be put into a cast like that.
That's really cool that you'll be the producer for a play in the Fall. What play is it?
I'm producing "Doubt" in the fall. Like the movie with Meryl Streep that came out last year. It was originally a play.
Wow, those look cool! Since we don't say good luck in the theatre i'll say "Break a LEG"!
