Wicked.

Hello my young...and not so young readers...I'm pretty sure my grandma reads this blog. I have returned from China and am now planning on my next trip to Singapore. Whose in?!

... {insert some interesting segue to my next topic here} ...

For those of you who know me know that I am a lover of puzzles. Sudoku? Crosswords? NO. Real puzzles with little pieces cut out and you fit them all together to make a bigger picture. Anyways. Roughly three months ago I bought this puzzle to kill time during the snow storms...(this is when I thought I wouldn't be working during them..). Usually my life shuts down in the event of a puzzle. When I was in school I stopped going to classes...skipped meals...didn't sleep...all to finish a puzzle.

Another love of mine is Wicked - the musical. Beautiful.

So it is no suprise when perusing through the game store at the Quail Springs mall I found/purchased a wicked puzzle...looks just like the Broadway poster. I figured I would knock this puzzle out in a week TOPS. When I gave the cashier my debit card he made a snide "good luck" comment. I thought he was just making fun of the puzzle and thought, "douche you work in a puzzle store."

...I now know he sincerely meant that good luck from the bottom of his lil heart. As I was saying...THREE months this puzzle has been 1/2 finished on my kitchen table. Its now a center piece. I lay papers over it, mail, keys, whatever I have when I come in the front door on my way to the kitchen.

This post is really a plea. If any of you out there have a love of puzzles please help me finish this. We can work on it in shift work. Let me know if you are interested.
