I’m in a Musical

It IS possible to develop talents and work on hobbies while married, and even with children. Who knew?!? Well, I am in a musical. It’s been 4 years since my last one, and I’m still “ensemble” material, but I am having a great time! Standing on that DHS Auditorium Stage makes me feel like Amber again. I never really lost who I am, I just added a few things to my life resume, namely “Wife to Benjamin Peck, Mother to Canon and Taesya.”

So I can still dance, sing, be confident and fun. To me that is a news flash. Anyone who wants to see the new/old me: DHS Auditorium June 30-July 6.

ps. I owe this excitement to my parents, who invited us to live in Kaysville. Also my Ben, who encouraged me to audition. Thank you.

The Bain/Bane (how do you spell that?) of my existence

Today I just wanted to buy 4 songs on ITunes. Seems simple, quick. But dial-up internet is threatening to suck all the happiness and life from my day. A dialog box proclaims, for hours on end, “Accessing ITunes Store.” I feel like strangling the computer; so I disconnect the internet and as I do, my song pops up! Like my mac is saying, “You should have waited one more minute.” It reels me back in, I connect again, and twelve years later I still can’t access my Gym Class Heroes song. Dial-up Internet is the most frusterating, agravating thing in my life. But please excuse me while I check on my downloads.
