Love at First Sight

Aaah Barry Manilow. His first hit was "Mandy" in 1975 and when I heard it, as a girl of 14, I was in love! He was my first serious "artist" crush.

Kristie and I went to his concert last night at the Comcast Arena in Everett. It was a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis and the place was packed! He sang all of his previous hits, and when it came to Mandy, he showed a video clip of him singing on the Dick Clark show (in white pants and a baby blue silk shirt and long blond hair!); after the first part of the song, they merged to him singing the song on stage at the piano...I was crying at that point. And I was thinking, this is crazy, I shouldn't be crying, get a grip!, but it seemed to just bring back all those memories of how you felt when you're 14!

Other highlights were "Somewhere Down the Road" and "I can't smile without you". We had a GREAT time!

Remember Bobbie Sherman? He was my second crush.

Rant: Why would Everett build an event center smack dab in the middle of downtown and NOT build a parking garage to go with it? Really annoying.

Sorry for the delay in updating my blog. I've been really sick with a darn cold that just won't quit. I caught it from my darling Calla so it was worth it but man oh man. I'm still blowing my nose and its been two weeks!

Oh, big news...I took off my artificial nails last week, after 18 years. My thoughts were that surely, now that I'm older, I would be able to grow my own nails. I was mistaken. I can't do it simply because of the shape of my nail beds. I know what you're thinking but its true! They're going back on this week. Sigh. At least I tried.

An update on my Women's Group...its the best. I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for asking.

Kristie is feeling REALLY GOOD! PRAISE GOD. Thank you for your prayers.

I just had my annual physical and am off birth control pills for 3 weeks; then I will take an FSH test which will tell me if I'm fertile or not. I'm hoping not. Will let you know.

Have you had your mammogram lately? Mine is scheduled for next Wednesday. Yippy Skippy.

Are you watching American Idol? We are and we're voting. Don't be a phone snob. Vote for your favorite! My prediction for the final - Danny and Adam. The guys are definitely better than the girls this year.
