I finished Goldie Hawn's Autobiography "The Lotus Grows in the Mud" on the way back home Monday on the train. It was really good. She amazed me on how great of a writer she is. She has a very detailed memory and describes the situations & feelings so wonderfully. Deb was mentioning Ruth Buzzi and I recalled how she was quite a fiesty woman on Laugh In with her purse...do you all remember her? Yep, I use to watch Laugh In at my grandparents house. Well, it made me think of Goldie & boy I found this great video of her on Time Zones! Do they have Laugh In on DVD sets yet? If not they should. I'll put that on my Christmas list. HA!

A Wonderful Day with my Niece!
Hi!
Well today I picked up my little niece & we went to see the Bee Movie! It was great! I had a lot of fun! She got Matthew Broderick's character in her Happy Meal too! HA!
Then I took her to see the New Production of Annie! It was great! I surprised her, she was sooo excited. Before the play they had a 30 min talk on the history of it. My niece new all the words to it & I have no clue how? I got her a bag, she didn't want the glitter t-shirt & of course a CD so she can sing. I was in tears watching her excitement throughout the show in the first row of the balcony, where she wanted to sit. It was 1/2 price tickets! :-) I think I also was a bit sentimental remembering my grandparents taking us kids when we were little. I guess the best thank you to them is to continue the tradition! :-) It is like them taking her since they are no longer here.
The girl who played Annie, Amanda Balon, was great! She has been acting since she was 2 yrs old! Wow! And the gentleman playing Daddy Warbucks was great too. He was a drama coach for a long time & finally got on Broadway himself.
A packed day but fun & now...back to work...ha...but I have Fri off & I keep forgetting! I never remember! Unfortunately, I think I will be overserving Veteran's Day but cleaning! Ha!

Only 1 extra hour???
Well, did you remember this weekend we change our clocks??? :-) Yipee! I could use the extra hour of sleep...especially since the night before last I only got 6 hours of sleep because I was getting quizzes ready & so I wanted to sleep in today & I woke up at 7:30! Ugh! So again another night of 6 hours! And I have a big work dinner tonight...yes...dress-up! HA! And I'm getting my baby to dress up! Wow!!! Well he is Mr. sports t-shirts sooo, but he cleans up very nicely! :-) I'm hoping telling him how sexy he looks will get him to do it more often! HA! I'm still surprised he didn't purposely get scheduled for work. He is still on call...there is a chance he will be saved! HA!
So, tonight nice filet dinner! :-) Maybe that is worth him dressing up! HA! Ah he probably knows I'll buy him a few beers too! :-) And wouldn't you know it I miss my hair apt yesterday. Wasn't on my calendar? Man! I really need to perk it up! Next Thurs now...don't let me forget! HA! I have it on my calendar now though.
I hope I do get to sleep better tonight, tomorrow I'm picking up my niece & taking her to see the Bee Movie & then in the evening I'm taking her to the Broadway Production of "Annie". I'm sooo excited for her to see it. I still remember my paternal grandfather & my step grandmother taking my siblings & I to see it downtown when we were kids. She loves singing & dancing so I think she will like it. It may also soften the blow that my cousin, who she has been madly in love with since she was about 2 yrs old, just got engaged! HA! I'm too chicken to tell her. I told him he would have to! HA! Maybe I'll call him so he can tell her! He is lucky he is out in CA!
My baby took me to our local preserve yesterday & we walked for over an hour, about 7 miles, looking at the fall colors, which I'll just say really have not peaked due to our unseasonably warm weather this year. Maybe next week. I picked up some HUGE leaves & I'm going to try to preserve them? Maybe frame them? I pointed out 2 deer too! :-) The squirrels were going nuts...ha! My goof was teasing me that one dropped his nut! Ugh...I said maybe it was a female! HA! Lots of Robins still sticking around. I had a great time. Hope we can do it again. See it takes very little to please me! HA!
Well, I better get in the shower & start running my errands. Have to go get my nails done, check on my outfit...I have the sparkly black 2 piece (pants) which has feathers on the wrists...I'm hoping I can wear it, if not I have to go shopping...ugh.
Hope you have an extra hour of sweet dreams! :-)

Trick or Treating in J-Land
Well it is barely still Halloween but I thought I try to wish you all a Happy Halloween still!
I don't have any kids coming trick or treating by me & thought this year I might go by my boyfriend's mom's house but with her husband passing away a little over a week ago she could not handle it so we all went out to dinner. I treated them since they both are treating me so much. Afterwards my baby & I went for a pumpkin just so I could carve one & bake some pumpkin seeds. I'll take a picture of it & post it later. It really wasn't the Halloween I wanted but...I did decorate my car at the beginning of Oct with cling-ons but never got my place decorated. Oh well, too much going on & with his step dad dying I had less time. Tomorrow is NOVEMBER & I can start working on Thanksgiving. We actually went to Menards after dinner since there was still an hour of trick or treating left in his mom's neighborhood & she didn't want to return until it was over. I bought 4 signs that each say...
A Jolly Happy Soul
And To All A Goodnight
You Better Not Pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
I'll try to take some pictures of them too...they are sooo cute!
Well I got home & put on Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin DVD & began to carve my pumpkin. I had fun. I love watching all the shows I use to watch as a kid. I love when he keeps saying "I Got A Rock" Ha! Reminds me of Grumpier Old Men when Walter Mattheau's character gives a stapler & laundry detergent! HA!
Well the pumpkin seeds are out & I have 2 min to post this & still be Halloween! HA! Hope you all had a lovely day. I'll catch up on alerts & read all about it soon!
Watch The Great Pumpkin Here!

Wknd Asgn 189: Amuse Me!
Here is my entry for John's Wknd Asgn!
- An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a
series of tests, the last of which had left his bodily
systems extremely upset.
Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom,
he decided the latest episode was another and stayed
put. He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea and was
embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational.
In a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed,
gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the
hospital window.
A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets
landed on him. He started yelling, cursing, and
swinging his arms violently trying to get the unknown
things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a
tangled pile at his feet.
As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet,
staring down at the sheets, a hospital security guard,
(barely containing his (laughter), and who had watched
the whole incident, walked up and asked, "What the
heck is going on here?"
The drunk, still staring down replied: "I think I just
beat the shit out of a ghost."

Help With Photos
Does anyone know of a program that one can place different kind of frames around your pictures you want to place on the web or send via email etc? Not sure if there is something on the web that is free or something I'll have to go buy but just wondering!
