You'll see more about this and understand the "reality" come June. It was so great to see Daryl, Doug, Lisa & Misty - my guardian angels and my very dear friends, I cherish our times that we all have together as a team. I hope you are getting very excited for the Miss Kansas 2008 pageant - there are some really neat things being planned, it is going to be incredible. Once again, this last week has been a very full week for me as I was giving school presentations in the Kansas City and Topeka area. I was in the Blue Valley school district elementary schools, and I was very, very impressed. The students behaved incredibly well; I was impressed with the staff at each school, and am very appreciative of the anti-bullying policies that they currently have in place. Blue Valley - thank you for treating me so well at each school - I applaud you on the success that you are ha ..]]> http://www.misskansas.org/Boast/post/2007/48/My-March-Madness Sun, 30 Mar 2008 21:08:18 +0000 General http://www.misskansas.org/Boast/post/2007/48/My-March-Madness#cmt I have been EVERYWHERE, in Kansas of course! The Liberal Pancake Festival was something I had been looking forward to all year and it was everything that I thought it would be, plus more. I stayed with George and Connie Rosel who are absolutely wonderful, they made me feel like one of their own! Jack Ewing and I emceed the Miss Liberal Pageant, I just love Jack, and boy did we have one heck of a time! It was great to see Shameem..and let me tell you something, Shameem has got moves!! Ohhh baby, can she dance, I can't even explain it, but she was freakin' awesome!!! You will definitely have to look for her in a few years when she is making it big time. Trust me, she will. I was able to judge the talent show - AMAZING. It was incredibly difficult to pick the winners, everyone was so talented, I was honored to be judging. The following day I had the big pancake race where the pressure was on Liberal to once again defeat Olney England. As a former runner, I was incredibly pumped for this race yet nervous at the same time. George and Connie got me in the car, took me on the route, and tried to convince me to do a practice-run. No practice run for me, then I would not have made it through the real thing - ha! Now before the race, as I was mentally preparing, I was told that I was not allowed to win as I was an honorary runner. Well...I thought that's fine, I'm out of shape, I probably will not win; HOWEVER, I'm a competitor and once the gun has sounds, I make no guarantees as to what will happen...and yep, my competitive drive kicked in, I took off and finished "unofficially" in third place. Unofficially was a term used by the Liberal community, if you ask me..I took third place! Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention...it was about 13 degrees outside and sleeting. The route was covered in sand so th ..]]> http://www.misskansas.org/Boast/post/2007/47/Is-it-spring-yet Tue, 4 Mar 2008 19:50:07 +0000 General http://www.misskansas.org/Boast/post/2007/47/Is-it-spring-yet#cmt I look forward to seeing all of you as I continue to travel across the state of Kansas.

I have had an absolutely wonderful time at these local preliminaries, I am looking forward to more! The school tour is going well, I have recently been to Manhattan, Abilene, Solomon, Junction City, and many others - I will head up to the northern part of the state this next week. Today was a great day as I helped Eudora celebrate their 150th birthday at the annual Eudorafest, spoke at "Hawks, Cops, & Kids," and helped emcee the Miss Capital City Pageant. I will anxiously be awaiting the next few local preliminaries, more school presentations, and the Miss America cruise!
