Okay I HAVE to tell you this!! Pretty much because it’s awesome!! J First off, visit this SO cool website! http://thoughtout.biz/photo1/thumbnails.php?album=2&page=1&sort=dd Okay, it’s a dorky picture of me, but…all well!! The cool part is this thing called a PED2! It holds your iPod so that you don’t have to “lay it down” to charge it or be hooked up to your stereo system. In fact, it saves SO much space and I don’t have to worry about it falling off of the speaker because I’m jammin’ too hard! J ALSO, www.thought.biz is giving away FREE CDs to those who buy a PED!! So, Mike had asked me if I would be interested in being a part of that promo, I said, SURE! Sign me up!! So, when you buy a PED right now, if you want my CD, you’ll get it for free!! Of course, there are other artists to choose from as well…REALLY cool ones too!! (Should I mention Brother Love??? Uh, YEAH!!! Hee, hee!!) J BUT, they have PEDs for all KINDS of devices!! It’s just REALLY cool!! You should SO check it out!!! Anywho….more later…..maybe…..okay…sure!!! J

Okay, I forgot to show this picture….i was just impressed my camera phone worked right…i SOOOO need an upgrade!! ARG!!! Anywho, Lew was SO funny, when I was talking to him on the phone he kept saying….

“Okay, when you get into town I want to you look right in front of the Salt Palace!! Don't forget, you HAVE to look…it's something REALLY cool!!”

So, being intrigued, I simply HAD to look!! And what did I see? THIS!!

(hee, hee) No wonder the “cool check-out girl at Brookshire’s” made such a big deal! That was SOOOO sweet, Lou!! Thank you again!   

Okay Grand Saline was really fun!! Everyone was SO nice!! It’s a small town where everyone knows EVERYTHING about EVERYONE!! Which can be cool…or not so cool according to a really cool check out girl at Brookshires! J  I completely understand though!! Everybody in “your” business? Eek!! She was so funny! Well, I stayed at an AWESOME Bed & Breakfast called Little Fannie’s! (…the story about it is AWESOME too!!) Anywho I went into town to get some vittles for in the morning….because I’m picky…(hee, hee)…and when I was checking out she (the really cool check out girl at Brookshires) said…so you’re the girl who’s picture’s been all in the paper! I was like….uh yeah, I guess that’s me! (Eek!!)

Anyway, the concert was SO much fun!! And people actually danced!! (Yeah!!!) I did however goof on Dancing in the Dark/Night & Day!! I’m not sure what happened, but I lost it…the words…I know I said something…in rhythm…and as I understand…it even rhymed!! ARG!!! I thought only my mother and producer, Bill (who came…thank you SO much you are SO awesome and having my first “Canton” experience with you was FAN-TABULOUS!!! I love you, Bill!! And I LOVE my gifts!! And I can’t WAIT to see the dresses Reggie has for me!!!!….insert music…..“I feel pretty, oh so pretty…..”) Okay, back to the concert….I thought no one would know, but….JOSH!!! Lew’s cool son with REALLY awesome hair…came up to me and said, “so, did you change the words to Dancing in the Dark/Night & Day?” I was like, oh my gosh, yeah, I had a brain laps. And Josh told me that he had listened to my CD quite a bit and so he knew I messed up, BUT he said that unless you knew, you wouldn’t have even guessed!! Mom and Lew told me the same thing!! YEAH!! Oh well, no one’s perfect!! And sometimes that’s hard for me to deal with!!!! At least…ME being perfect!! (hee, hee!!!)

More later, but Grand Saline…was awesome!! Thank you Grand Saline for making me feel so special….i’m SOOOO honored that you asked me!!!

Yeah, yeah, I know it’s been awhile since I “really” blogged. But I can tell ya some cool stuff that’s happening. First off, I’m working with an amazingly talented brass musician and composer, Dr. Tomas Stone!! (Who happens to be my best friend, Jen’s hubby!! They are SO adorable together!! And in all honestly they could and SHOULD do stand-up comedy together! I laugh so hard I hurt every time I’m with ‘em!!…………“Baby, go thru Starbuck’s & get me some cig-rettes!!” ROAR!!!!) Last week Tom & Chris (…sorry, I can’t remember your last name at the moment…but your wife sounded nice on the phone!!! J) informed me that one of the tunes I wrote was a NO, R&B song….well….COOL! All I knew was when Chris (last-names-less) played on it, I was like…uh, that’s like EXACTLY what I’m hearing in my head!! (Which is actually a scary thing…no one needs inside my head…not even ME sometimes!) Anywho, Tom’s brass sounded PHENOMINAL on it….yeah, Tom’s brass….(Jen……stop with the comments!!!) HA!!! Ah well, enuff for the moment, maybe more later…

Young Catherine: It's been years since I've seen this movie!!! I LOVE IT!! Julia Ormond was AWESOME! I just wanted to watch it again tonight…so I did. Amy S., do you remember talking about this movie in 1st period? Girl, thank you for being…how shall I put this?…cultured!! J (HA!!) We watched that movie so many times…OYE!! I know it perfectly!! WE know it perfectly!! And HELLO, when I bought the movie…after recording it off of TNT…they took out MY FAVORITE SCENE!! ARG!! But, I’m still watching the one I bought.

And, well, there is…was…Mark Frankel…how tragic! What an amazing actor…and beautiful man!! How very, very sad…we talked about him too!! J When I saw, Kindred the Embraced, on TV, my heart nearly stopped!! And then….how very sad!!!
