Call Me A Dork...

Call me a dork, but I have been going crazy looking for my Monkees photo album for the past week.  I have pictures in it that I can not replace.  Memories of happy times.  Oh the stories I have!  And in some cases, a picture to back it up.  But not without that photo album!  I was going crazy.  I felt stupid, but I actually prayed that I would find the darned thing.  It took a couple more days of searching, but I finally it, plus another with even more photos in it!  Wow.  I was so happy.  I found treasures I had even forgotten about!  Treasures like this one...
That's right baby, he signed that one to me.  Me!  Yours truly.  I felt like Marcia Brady.  No he didn't take me to my prom.  I did run a fan club for all four of them for a few years from about 1988.  I ran it with a friend for about 2 years, and then on my own for another year or so.  It was then that I received this photo from Mr. Jones.  What a sweet treasure to find now!  I have many others.  Plus many happy memories.  Call me a dork if you must.  But this was awesome stuff to me.

I don't think you're a dork! Also, when things are really important to us, it's not dumb to pray about them!

I LOVED him...how cool that he signed a photo for you!

His death is definitely a loss for pop culture, and those of us who crushed on him in our youth!

Even thought he was an "old dude" by the time I watched the Monkees, I still thought he was a babe!

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
