THANK YOU

Thank you. Two words. Eight letters. So much meaning. On Friday night, I was able to cross another thing off my "Lifetime To Do List". I met Rick Springfield. When I was turning away from him, I said "thank you". But how do you convey the fullness of the meaning with those two words. I was saying thank you for so many things.

Thank you for the photo. Thank you for the hug. Thank you for the autograph. Thank you for making the book. Thank you for performing. Thank you for entertaining. Thank you for being so nice. Thank you for sharing yourself with your fans. Thank you for being open, honest and funny. Thank you for taking time to do meet and greets. Thank you for coming to Milwaukee year after year. Thank you for loving what you do. Thank you for continuing to do it. Thank you for being the catalyst that brings people together and forms life long friendships. Thank you for being you.

Thank you, Rick, for everything. I hope that you realize how much you are appreciated. How much entertainment and fun you have brought to my life. Thank you for being the catalyst for so many wonderful memories. Thank you, Rick. thank you so much!

Rejected and accepted

A couple of months ago, Baby tried out for the Fine Art and Academic Academies in our school district. A month or so ago, we got the letters that she did not get in to either. This was heartbreaking news for us as well as her. She wanted to go there because Lyric did, and she has had some social issues, so she wanted to try something new.

Yesterday, we got a new letter. There is an opening in the Academic Academy if she wants it. YEAH! We're so excited. It will mean a new school and new friends, but a different experience from what Lyric did. (Lyric was in Fine Arts) It will hopefully be a positive change for her.

Okay, I'm off to Milwaukee now. I might come home tomorrow having met Rick Springfield. cross your fingers.

Today is....

The first day of FREAKFEST 2008. (Otherwise known as 5 Rick Springfield concerts in a row) To those heading to,arriving in, and partying around Milwaukee- I'm jealous. Only a little though. I try hard not to be too jealous, because I do believe that good things happen to me more often than bad things. I do believe that whinners get bad karma, and I try to see the good side of anything.

So, have fun in Milwaukee. I'll be there Friday. It will be fun. I'm looking forward to meeting some people I have only E-talked to, and reconnecting with those I have met in the past.

somebody save me a seat at the bar!
