Father's Day

Yesterday was Father's Day and I had not given it much thought as my husband was out of town. We had plans to have lunch with my Father-In-Law and family, knew there was a quick call to my dad in the plans, but other than that, we had no other "holiday" plans. This turned out to be one of the most fulfilling Father's Day ever. Lunch with Pops was a lot of fun. It's great to see him smile and I saw that a lot yesterday. Although my call to my on Father was brief, it was so wonderful to hear his voice and know that he was surrounded by family in Memphis. Sure my brother and sister's kids kept him plenty busy. Then the surprise of all surprises. My husband called with an unexpected 4 hour layover in St. Louis. Amira and I were so excited. We quickly came up with an impromptu present for him. Our fantastic neighbor shot a few adorable pictures of us and we sped to Walgreens to print off a few copies. A frame with pics of his two favorite girls to put in his hotel room, some candy and a silly card that makes noise. What more could a guy ask for? We picked him up at the airport and just hung out. It was short, but it was so much fun. I simply loved it. Sitting in Dairy Queen watching my daughter lay her head on her Dad's shoulder was the best. What an unexpected delight.

What a fantastic day!!!!

It was a joke.

Did David Letterman seriously just have to stoop to apologize to Sarah Palin? Really - really - really - it was a joke. The man was telling a joke. A joke about an adult. Just cause it happens to be the adult child of a --hum--hum-- political figure --hum, if that's what you can call her -- doesn't mean everyone needs to get their panties in a wad!!

Ramblings about Adam Lambert from an AI Junkie

Did you see the "oh so horrible" images of Adam. Seriously??!?!?! Can you smell my sarcasm?

Fantastic. That's what I say of the images. He is a very attractive guy and that picture of him at Burning Man is hotter than the dessert he is standing on. Guess what.... I am a married straight woman. I don't judge people by their personal lives, who they kiss, what they wear or how they talk. When it comes to American Idol I judge by talent and this boy has talent. He can sing, he can entertain, he's physical appearance is attractive - what else could you ask for. I am not sure I am saying I will take him to the end, more will be revealed, but for now, I say he has got it going on. The fact that onstage his persona is very ambiguous keeps me more intrigued. Look at WHAM - George Micheal - Freddie Murcury - David Bowie - Ricky Martin - Steven Tyler (in his prime) - they've all been admired by both sexes!! The mystery sometimes makes for a better performer. Even after seeing his pictures, heck I would still swoon over him if he walked in (and I am way too old to be saying that!!) the boy is amazing.

You go boy, get whatever votes you can. Little girl, Little boy, Gay, Straight, Grandma or straight up talent seekers!!!!

Are these people serious??? - It's a doll!

Have you heard the uproar over the Barbie that comes with stick on tattoos???

I am astounded by this! My 4 year old daughter and I have been so excited about getting this Barbie since the first time we saw it advertised. How cool - you can put tattoos not only on the Barbie, but it comes with ones for you as well. My husband and I both have tattoos and my daughter has a collection of fake tattoos. Hey, she wants to be like us. We are responsible members of society, lead normal lives and don't show off our bodies just to show off our tattoos. I believe for most people, tattoos are a little more personal than a way to show off their bodies. Besides, who knows if she will get older and want a tatoo or not, she is a kid and is PLAYING - it's what kids do!

Parents need to be responsible for their kids. Buy what fits your family and leave your ideals out of everyone else’s lives and the manufactures of products. Now, if it was a hatchet toting, blood splattered Barbie, I might have to think about that one. BUT A TATTOO, seriously, my 82 year old grandfather has tattoos!!!

I am inspired by Drag Queens

Yes - it's true. I have found that something about those fabulous ladies of drag inspire something deep down in me. There's this connection, love, admiration... this understanding of sorts. This high energy that is just driving.

I recently have been enthralled with the world of drag again. My past was peppered (more like doused) with several ladies that made major impressions on my life. That protected me... that supported me... that loved me. I am head over heels into RuPaul's Drag Race on LOGO! I wish I was there watching it all go down live! Maybe it's all that time I spent in the dressing rooms of Amnesia! THE DRAMA!!!!

Today, I found the blog of a long lost friend, Star Queen. I had such a ball seeing what was going on in her world that I felt inspired to work on my own blog.

My blog?!?!?.... Exciting and New, true, but I am sure not as intriguing as the world of a drag queen. I am a mom, a wife and a career woman, living a gratifyingly beautiful drama free life. None-the-less maybe I will find something to write about on here. We will see.

No mater what - I am taking the inspiration and running with it. In heels no less!!!

I'm don't know.

Why a blog? I don't know.

What am I going to say? I don't know.

Do you know? I don't know.
