Today is Tuesday. You Know What That Means.

Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means......

The 80's.
THE decade when it came to music.
Despite Hair Bands, Fluorescent clothing, BIG hair, ripped shirts (flashdance), mohawks, pink hair, pajama clothes, 1000's of Mandona look-a-likes and HUGE jewelry....the 80's was the decade when music became bigger than ever before. I'm sure MTV had a lot to do with that. You remember MTV don't you? It used to stand for Music Television. I'm not sure what it stands for now because I haven't seen a music video played there in a very long time.

ANYWAY, Chatty Kelly and I were talking the other day and she reminded me of a song/video that I hadn't thought of in a very long time. There aren't too many times that you can have a song with pop singers, rock singers, country singers, motown singers, and classic singers all together at once. But this song did. I thought it was awesome.

I'm not sure who all of the singers all, but maybe you can fill in the blanks.

So today's guest stars are....

Lionel Richie
Stevie Wonder
Paul Simon
Kenny Rogers
James Ingram
Tina Turner
Billie Joel
Michael Jackson
Diana Ross
Dione Warwick
Willie Nelson
Harry Connick Jr
Bruce Springsteen
Kenny Loggins
Steve Perry
Daryl Hall
Hewy Lewis
Cindi Lauper
???
Bob Dylan
Ray Charles
???

I also noticed a few in the crowd that didn't have solos, like Bette Midler, The "other" Jacksons,
The Pointer Sisters, The "other" guy from Hall & Oats, and someone said Dan Akryoid was there...I'll need to go back and check on that. .

IMHO...
I used to think Cindi Lauper dressed cooler than anyone I knew. lol (seriously)
Although I like Bruce Springsteen, I don't think this song really suited for his voice.
Bob Dylan-I went and saw him in concert. i truly couldn't understand a single word of ANY of the songs. Even the ones i knew!
I used to LOVE Steve Perry (Oh Sherry)
Kenny Rogers Looked better then than he does with his face lift.
In those days Michael Jackson was cute.
Dione Warwick has a beautiful voice.
Billy Joel has always been one of my favorites.

We Are The World....

The First Thing That Comes To Mind

It has been a while since I have sat down and typed out an actual post. You know, the kind with actual words. I've had a Happy Birthday post, Happy Father's Day post, prom pictures, graduation pictures, the Tuesday Special Guest posts, but nothing really...um...original. LOL. OK, I will admit, originality (I looked up original in the Thesaurus and one of the synonyms was "rare-bird" haha).... But anyway, as for sitting down and writing, just not happening lately.

We all go through it. We sit here, stare at the computer screen and go blank.

I read somewhere that if I close my eyes and just let the thoughts go, the words will flow. Just type.

OK, I'll try that.

OK, not a great idea. Maybe I'll try it with my eyes open this time.

Hi. What's new? Nothing here. How are you? Been hot here. Yesterday was nice though.

OK, still not working. As in....YAWN.

OK, try again. First thing that comes to mind.

Cat. Hat.
In French chat chapeau,
In Spanish you're a gato in a sombrero.
In German you're a katze in a hut I also know,
You're a guanka in a bunkaquank in Eskimo!

Now if you will allow me sir,
But please don't think I'm pushin,
I think that I can tell you what you are in...in...in...Russian!

You're a shapka in a shlapa!

I'm a shapka in a shlapa?

I'm a shapka in a shlapa.

I'm a shapka in a shlapa!
I'm a shapka in a shlapa I'm a shapka in a shlapa I'm a shapka in a shlapa

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENOUGH OF THAT!!!!!!

I'm A Cat...in a Hat!




"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living; it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."

Have a great day!

Today is Tuesday. You Know What That Means....

Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means.
We're gonna have a special guest!

When this movie came out I went to the theater and saw it about 4 times. I bought the record (not cassette or CD) and played it over and over and over and over, writing down all the words to every song in a notebook. (yes, I was in high school)

I LOVED John Travolta. His posters covered my Fonzie ones....however No One covered Clark Gable.

SO, in the spirit of summer vacation just beginning here in Virginia....awella, wella, wella, ump!

(I love the way the guy and girl each explain the same experience in such opposite ways.)
(Oh yeah, ET....this is one even a youngster like you will remember!)

Happy Father's Day

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy BIRTHDAY Dear ET.....Sister #3.....but only in birth order.......because you know we're really all #1....but you know what I mean......
Happy Birthday to YOU!!!!!!

I would have put a more recent picture up but wasn't sure how she would feel about me posting her picture. (the larger picture is dated 1983. Face has barely changed a bit!)

They Were Made For Me!

She knows me SO well!!

Chatty Kelly bought me a package of postcards last week. She said they reminded her of me. haha. Most of them could have been written by me....or at least FOR me!

My professional photography skills are a bit lacking and even though I tried taking pictures of them at different angles, you still cannot read the captions on all. So, I wrote the captions underneath.

I LOVE them!! Already have a few hanging on the fridge.
Thanks CK!!

(all in good fun of course...not really male...or female...bashing)















"Domestically Disabled"
(I actually have a tote bag that says this too)

















"Bitter? Moi?"
















"Let's ignore our mother's well meant advice."














".....And then she realized they WERE all alike!!"













"Alone at Last!!!"


















"Male Refridgerator Blindness."
















"She was blissfully unaware of her peril."













"I dreamed my whole house was clean!"















"Pain was too good for him."











"She threw herself eagerly into the paths of unsuitable men."













"And then I ripped his lungs out."

















"He couldn't become a distant memory soon enough to suit her."














"Make your own da*n dinner!"

Today is Tuesday. You Know What That Means!!

Today is Tuesday.
You know what that means.
We're gonna have a Special Guest!!!!

Who was the coolest secret agent of the 1960's? (That right. Doesn't that make you feel old)!

It was Agent 86 of course!

Whether he was talking into his shoe, using a phone booth as an elevator or having secret conferences with a mailbox, Maxwell Smart was the Coolest of Cool. This clip is from season one, which first aired in 1965!! (directed by Mel brooks and Buck Henry...that explains alot!)

BUT, we ALL know who kept him so cool. Agent 99 of course! Oh Max....!

Mission : A "One Word" Story

After I did the One Word post this past Sunday, Edie @Rich Gifts gave me a mission to write a story about my answers.....USING AS MANY WORDS AS I WANTED TO. You see, being the queen of rationalising, One Word answers were VERY difficult.

It may be boring. It may be random (shock there!) It may not make sense. I have no idea what I'm going to write, but here goes.

First, here is a list of the words I used. If you want to know the questions, you need to check here.

Bench
Wild
Football
Psychotic
Smiling
Teenagers
Diet Coke
Firefighting
Messy
Telling
Contented
Screen Door
Trees
Computer
Shorts
On
Buzzing
Disorganized
Procrastinating
AWOL
Driveway
Kohl's
Hot
Green
Yesterday
No
Edie
Pizza
Fire Engine

Oh, I need to add that I cannot dispute.....If there is a space between two words, then that MUST classify as two words. IE....Diet Coke, Screen Door, and Fire Engine. I BELIEVE that Firefighting can go either way.

A ONE WORD STORY - From An ADHD Point Of View

I was sitting here typing away on my computer, which happened to be buzzing, and trying to come up with a post to write. I could hear my TV, that was still on, playing in the background. I had been meaning to write all day but, being the procrastinating person that I am, I hadn't gotten around to it.

So here I sat, sipping on a Diet Coke, wearing my favorite army green shorts (and a shirt) trying to think of something to write.

As I looked out the window and saw my car in the driveway, my mind began to wander.School was almost over for the year. Soon it would be hot hot hot. That's when I decided to go shopping at Kohl's instead. I was smiling as I started out the door. I took a quick look in the mirror, saw my hair was wild, as usual, and I walked out the door. 30 seconds later I came back in to get my cell phone. After looking around my messy room, I finally found it on the bench beside the table. I looked around at the disorganized room and decided to do a quick "pick-up" before I left. While I was straightening up, I opened a few windows and decided I really wanted a screen back door.

Finally, once again I started out the door. I then remembered I hadn't emailed Edie in a while. I decided to do a quick stop at my computer, send her an email, and then be on my way. After finishing the email, I started reading a few blogs. I smiled as I remembered laughing aloud yesterday when I read a few of them.

The sirens from the local fire dept were wailing in the distance. When I hear them and am not there, I get a feeling that I have gone AWOL. My dream was firefighting and I am grateful that I got to do it. I love riding on the fire engine. Speaking of dreams, I had the weirdest one last night. Something to do with a bunch of teenagers at my house. I can't remember how it ended. Of course that isn't surprising as I can't remember what I had for dinner last night either. Oh yeah, it was my favorite....Pizza!

OK, Time to leave NOW, or I won't get back before the school bus comes. I stopped at the mailbox to grab the mail (why else would I stop there?). Inside was a letter from my psychotic mother. She sends me one about 2-3 times a year to remind me what a bad daughter I am. Not to worry. No tears about that. I do, however, dread the day that some psychiatrist comes looking for me and tries to force me to tell him about her.

I often wonder how my dad, who was a high-school and college football quarterback, ended up with such a psychotic woman. She must have been relatively normal back then. But by the time we (the kids) came along, she was well on her way to crazy-dom. I wonder if the neighbors, who lived on our pretty block, with the trees making what looked like a tunnel over the road, had any idea?

Hopefully in the years to come, I will be contented. I hope my children will know how incredible they are to me and how much I love them and always will. I think they will.

Oh great. The school bus is here. I never made it to Kohl's. I never even came up with an idea for a new post. Oh well. There's always tomorrow.

Today Is Tuesday. You Know What That Means

Today Is Tuesday.
You Know What That Means.
We're Gonna Have a Special Guest.....

The 1970's was the decade for tv action heroes.

Do you remember, "We can rebuild him. We have the technology."?

Do you remember running around in slow motion while making a sound that was the sound of bionics? chiga chiga chiga chiga chiga chiga chiga chiga (No, Not Charo!)

Do you remember the sound of looking at something miles away? bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep.

Then you remember Steve Austin. The Six Million Dollar Man.

If I remember correctly, Chatty Kelly had the action figure. When you rolled up his sleeve or pants legs, a little piece of plastic could pop off and there were "Bionics" underneath. (too cool!)
