confessions of a drama queen

i hate drama... and yet, it seems to be a consistent part of my life.  i've decided drama happens when you spend time with people... when you work with college students... and when you are in ministry.  all of which, i will gladly keep in spite of the sometimes annoying excitement they bring to my life.

tonight was spent hanging in a completely different drama queen world.  i watched the miss. america pageant with some friends of mine.  my friend susan graciously opened up her home (as she frequently does) to host the event.  as with many of our events, we had to have a "theme" for the food.  tonight's theme: small, skinny and prissy.  our food selection included: tiara shaped cookies, mini chocolate cupcakes w/ pink sprinkles, kabobs (chicken, shrimp and beef), chips and salsa, chocolate fondue, fruit, etc.  we had quite the feast.  (when i get a picture of our spread, i'll include it with the post)

it was quite enjoyable watching the pageant with these ladies.  we each had our own tiaras and "jewelry" and quickly chose the "states" to cheer for.  for us, new york, indiana, florida and arkansas were the favorites.  how about you?
