the rest of the story


ok...Wednesday night at Urinetown the Musical, the actress who played Miss Pennywise, got injured during the finale of Act I. Paramedics were called and so was an ambulance! They cancelled the rest of the show. It was decided that Emily, my AMAZING daughter-in-law, would work all day Thursday on that part and perform THAT night! Even I had butterflies in my stomach for her. I have been doing theater for a few years and I can't even imagine doing that!! I drove down and saw it ...mainly because I wanted to show support for her. She was absolutely FABULOUS!!!!! She killed the part in total awesomeness. I loved her way....WAY better than the other actress. (shhhh-don't tell anyone I said that!) This is a picture of her as Bestsy Two Shoes...which she also rocked in!!! and Ames as Officer Lockstock ...(OH and his sidekick is Mr. Barrel! ha!) Great show, Awesome show!! Alex and I are going tonight for the closing performance.

Need a bridge built here!!


I don't think I have ever missed an opening night of any of Ames's shows! And this is one show I REALLY wanted to catch opening night!!! BUT, because of UTA and those little high school brats stealing all of the tickets...it is sold out as well as tomorrow nights! EESH!!! (Crying buckets of tears here!) So ridiculous! I do have tickets for Monday and closing night as well......and I will probably just show up a couple of times, with out warning, and buy a ticket at the door!! ha! I just hope those little neanderthals realize what a treat is in store for them tonight and tomorrow night!! Gosh! What madness! I will be thinking of you Ames and Emily!! You guys will be so ridiculously and awesomely amazing!!! Rock it out!

How Many?


I just read Emily's blog about favorites and she wrote about TV. It really got me to thinking about what I watch. I am so addicted to some shows. I mean, Alex told me about a show and said I should watch it (actually he told me about 2 shows! ha! Just what I needed!!) So, 30 Rock! O my heck!
Talk about addiction and withdrawals! I watched all seasons frantically. Couldn't get enough and when I was caught up.....I really missed Tina! That woman is so amazing! Can't wait to get home and watch the episode that aired last night! The other show Alex mentioned is Chuck...o my heck!! I am SO in love with this computer nerd who accidently becomes a spy! It is called a "dramedy" and I swear they better NOT kill off Captain Awesome! I know I will stop watching it if they do! Hopefully he is just kidnapped. yeah, and there I go! ha!
There is Lost, Office, NCIS (hello! it's Dinozzo, come on!!) The Closer, White Collar(stars one of the characters that was in Chuck!!), Burn Notice, CSI's and not to mention my 4 Reality shows...SYTYCD, American Idol, Survivor, and Amazing Race....O wait! 5 reality shows, cause there is also ANTM. Gosh! or as Tina would say..."blurg"
But my most fav and the one I am so anxiously awaiting is PSYCH!!! Man! Those guys make me laugh SO much. I need to get season 3...can't believe I don't have it! I know it is pretty corny and people tell me that it is easy to figure out the plot...and I say to them, it isn't about that! It is about Shawn and the Guster! I even get Tweets from Lassie! ha! Yeah, I am pretty pathetic!

AVATAR...revisited

OK...so I just found out that Ken will be here tonight about 5 or 6. He will have his 10 hours off here!! WOW...like that doesn't happen very often! So, yay me! But he just sent me a text asking if I wanted to go see Avatar tonight. Ha! DUH!!! I will take every opportunity to go see that movie again...and again and again and...you get the picture! I cannot stop thinking about it. Such a great movie...so different that any others. Go see it if you haven't!!

Just Found Out

I just found out that Derek....my awesome grandson has a blog of his very own! Yay, Derek! I love that he is doing that. Maybe it will inspire me to keep up with this one! ha!
Christmas is a blur and New Year's...well....not fun at all being sick and having your own pity party! YUCK!!!
Ames and Emily and Alex stayed the night on Christmas Eve. We had so much fun playing Super Mario Bros. I laughed so hard!! I am now addicted to that game...even though I suck big time at it! If Alex plays with me ...I am always yelling "save me, Alex!!" ha! Christmas morning was so fun as we tore into our presents. I love seeing everyone's faces as they get gifts that surprise and delight them!!
I actually went to sleep about 10 pm on New Year's. Pathetic, I know! But, I was not feeling at all well. And, I think my body just shut down on sleep mode for about 48 hours!
One thing we did over the Holiday that I loved...is we went to see the movie AVATAR on Christmas Eve!!! I totally fell in love with that movie! I immediately wanted to watch it again and again! Now it has made over a billion $ worldwide!!! Glad to see such a great movie accomplish that!
