altered courses...

Life in a nutshell..
Hubby will be at both National Conventions.
I joined a gym.
We had a garage sale featuring most of my Mom's "stuff". Lots of costume jewelry-some I kept. I liked the 3/4 length black gloves with the pearl cocktail ring-but where would I wear it? Sold the ring, kept the gloves..
Hubby's Mom died a few weeks ago.
Allergies are horrible this time of year..
LilyRose had her butt shaved. Long Haired cats are a problem in the hygiene area.
I am going away in a few weeks. Middle East. I have been putting it off for so many years due to fear. Now I guess is as good a time as any....
Summer heat and sun is gross at 5pm....

A reason to watch tv...

I love the series, "Mad Men". I love the clothes. I love the acting. I love the scripts. I absolutely love the scenery.

Season two starts tonight!!!

it was the night that my past comforted me...

2008 has not been the greatest year for me. Now in addition to my Mom being ill, my mother-in-law is very ill. Cancer.
The weekends are spent between nursing homes.
After leaving my sister's home tonight-an old familiar song came on the radio. The night was dark. Yep, dark. Clear. Warm. It became the summer of the 60's. I rolled the windows down. I turned up the volume. I was in West End Park. With Bill, Donny, Sherry and who knows who else.
I was in the Paramount Theater in Asbury Park. I was in the 3rd row. Center. He came on wearing his black leather pants. The lizard king.
He was beautiful. The most gorgeous blue eyes. Very dark hair in curls. He made love to the microphone. He looked at me. He threw me a rose. I fell in love...

This video isn't the best. But just use your imagination. Like I do...
