Sentimental Journey

I'm not sure why, but the last few days, I've been feeling so sentimental about music I listened to when I was younger. Maybe because it reminds me of times that were so much more carefree and unencumbered. Maybe because I miss all the fun times with all my friends at the gym, but I was reminded of how MUCH I LOVED this movie; I love the music and I could watch this over and over and over just for the dancing (yes....remember when you were famous if you taught aerobics, LOL?). This wasn't my most favorite song in the movie, but the dance routine just slayed me~ hope you enjoy this as much as I do (somehow, I think the guys will at least!)~



Can you even IMAGINE having that body.....or being able to dance like that??? In my dreams, LOL.

So...onward and ...onward I guess. Weather here is ...funny. So windy in the evenings/nights. I lugged in my two giant Bird of Pardise plants that are in big pots on the patio and my favorite geranium. Geeze, all of them got blown over yesterday, so they spent the night inside. But it's been pretty darned warm for February.

My friend Melanee and I will be outside all day Sunday for the Concourse, so we're hoping it's going to be cooler than the predicted 84 deg. UGH....Saturday night we'll be at the Desert Air Museum though for the gala dinner party. I can't wait for that. I LOVE the air museum; it's filled with beautiful old (WWII)fighter planes that have been restored. So much history and you think of the men (and women) who must have flown in those planes. I love looking at the photographs that they have displayed from those times too; lots of Bob Hope photos. But looking at them, you realize how YOUNG those guys were. Such a different time, such a different world. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. Yesterday was a wasted day though as far as doing any work for the event. We TRIED, but things just didn't come together before it was time for us to leave. Maybe today....I'm still waiting to hear what needs doing.

I've caught bits and pieces of some of the morning shows the last few days and it seems so odd to me that you see the same people on the talk shows...I mean, all in the same day. Yesterday or the day before it was Fran Drescher. I first saw her on either The Morning Show or Good Morning America, and then she was on The Doctors (which I thought must be shot somewhere close to me since one of the dr's is from here). And today it's Tom Selleck. I will always be in love with that man, LOL. He's aged, but he still looks so good! What a handsome man he is. My mom was CONVINCED that he was looking for me, hahaha. The sad thing was, so was I, LOL.


Oh well....the doggies are fine, little monsters, LOL. They need a bath SO BADLY...maybe this evening????

Fat Bottomed Girls

Yeah, some days that's just how ya feel, isn't it? But nice to know we've been deified by one of the greatest rock bands in history, LOL.




Ahhhh....gay or not, Freddy was hot hot HOT!

Spent all day yesterday cleaning out and organizing my office, something I've been meaning and wanting to do for MONTHS. Well, not really WANTING to do....rather, wishing the good cleaning fairy would do it and I'd just wake up one morning and it would magically be done, LOL. Yeah...dream on. So, now that I've got a television in here too, it's a tossup as to whether I can now REALLY go back to work or just never leave the office. Oh...I guess I'll have to make an occasional foray out to the kitchen for sustenance (and wine), but I seriously think that I've got just about everything else I could need in here. And if I hadn't taken the little fridge out and put it into the guest room, I'd have wine in here too, haha. Well, it seemed like a great idea at the time.....

I can't believe it's been since Valentine's Day since I posted! I am SO lame sometimes, but really, I've been busy!

Melanee is still staying here (I THINK she might be leaving today, but it's sort of dependent on her friend with a truck). Her poor friend is having a tough time of things though; she lost her job which was a really good one, then a few days later, let a friend drive her hot little Z car and he somehow lost control of it (in a parking lot no less) and managed to be driving half on and half off the median and hit two palm trees. Needless to say, the car is damaged. Luckily, neither of them were hurt. But just after that, she was carrying a piece of PVC pipe and it hit her truck window and broke THAT out! Gosh....can you imagine? Hopefully that will be the last bad thing to happen to her all year! Anyway, she was going to help Mel take some of her things from her storage unit to her new place, but hasn't felt up to it.

Mel and I are working on an event (we're volunteering and actually, I've only done one day's of work so far). She worked yesterday and is off today to help out getting things done. So much to do....this is the event:

http://www.desertconcours.com/

It's going to be a lot of fun! The cars that are entered are AMAZING and...check this out:

"100 mpg Fisker Karma makes its West Coast Premiere at the Desert Classic Concours d'Elegance in Palm Springs, California, March 1, 2009.

The world's first luxury plug-in hybrid car, the 2010 Fisker Karma, will make its West Coast debut at the Desert Classic Concours d'Elegance, in Palm Springs, California. "




YUM,YUM..I'll take one of those! That's THE best looking hybrid I've seen! And who doesn't want a car named Karma, LOL?


And this is the new Aptera...so radical, but so cool! And gullwing doors to boot! It will be at one of the private events taking place during the concourse:




Saw the Bugatti (the founder of the event says a $4 million car!) at the art gallery the other day, pretty impressive. This should be a fun event and some of the proceeds are going to the Animal Samaritans yayyy!

Well, other than that, it's Tuesday again (Tuesday=maniacally barking little dogs x 3..actually, it's my two boys who are the instigators and primary barkers) so the gardeners are on their way. That must mean it's time for me to go grocery shopping...or something away from the house, LOL.
