I Heart Disney!

For all of those Christmas shopping, the Disney store is having a MAJOR sale. Buy one get one free on all of their toys. I saved a fortune and got GREAT gifts. But that's not the only reason I love Disney...

I woke up at 3:30 this morning to Ruby snuggling close. She is so sweet I can hardly stand it. Just want to scoop her up and give her hugs and kisses, but then, alas, I remember it's the middle of the night. I hold her close until she falls back into a deep sleep. So precious are these moments!

Once I am up, the brain starts working OT and I think I just need to check my email for some reason. I guess I was hoping for another email from Disney since we are recording tomorrow and I still didn't know what I was getting paid and had no contract. Sure enough, it was there! An email from the VP of A&R for Disney Records himself. The contract was sent! I should get my first song publishing contract from Disney in the mail today! Woo-hoo! They also let me know my pay for recording the vocals and that will be separate and paid right away. Just in time for Christmas! Pretty. Darn. Cool. Now if I can just get back to sleep so I am in good voice! 

I am excited, but also a tad nervous about Jeff having to occupy Ruby for 2 hours in the studio. She's pretty good, but I'm hoping she doesn't get upset when Mommy locks herself in the other room (sound room) to record. You can see through the glass and hear me so maybe she will be okay. We'll see, I guess! They have a TV in the waiting area so I'm hoping we can pop a movie in to distract her for a bit. That should help. My uncle Bob is the engineer and real excited to meet Ruby. He's going to bring his DVD player in just in case the studio's isn't there or working. Also, we have a Music Round class in the morning which I am making sure we don't miss before we go. Want her to have a fun morning and the dancing usually makes her nap good... which is what I am hoping she will do in the car. Wish us luck! Should be a fun day!

A HUGE hug and thank you to my Uncle Kevin in LA who passed my music on to his friends at Disney! Love you! A million thanks!!!
