CANCER WALK

Ok everyone, here is the date for the cancer walk in St. Louis this year. The site does not have any other information available at this time. I will update everyone as they update the site. This is just an FYI for everyone to mark the date, or check with to see if they will be available to make it. Hope everyone can make it again. We do have a good time!

OK, I NEED HELP, WHICH LOOKS BETTER?

I am wanting to put one long shelf across an entire wall, like I seen on Oprah-a room Nate did, to place pictures and collectibles on. I like both of these, but am having a hard time picking out the ones that would look the best. So what do you think?

AIN'T THEY CUTE!

I was downloading pictures from my camera and messing around with them and they were so cute, I thought I just had to share them with you all. Koty (the princess-she thinks) is the solid white spoiled rotten shih-tzu and Gizmo (the handsome little boy) is the one with more brown on him. The tall guy in the middle, well I think he is cute too, and you all know him, Tom-my wonderful husband. Like I said, ain't they cute?!

ENOUGH!

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I am sick of this bad weather! I want spring to come! I know you can do it Spring! Just come on and get here! At least today it was sunny, cold, but the sun was out. I need the sun, I think it helps and makes everything cheerier. I know all my relatives down south are proably really feeling this about now! So here is a pic that I can look forward to. My yard blooming!!!

Blog savvy!

Well, how do you like the music? Me Too!!! I did it all by my lonesome! And boy did it surprise me when it worked, I mean it really works! I thought about it, browsed the site and viola! There is was, I read it, got confused, read some more, got more confused, tried to follow directions, got lost, read some more, followed more directions an VIOLA!!!! Plus, I finally got a myspace. Not really sure what my address is, so cannot post it right now. Not really sure how to get around the site, use it or anything else about it. But I did get one, and I have FRIENDS! my daughter, my aunt and my cuz!!! So I guess I am doing something right, I just don't know what. I don't know how to post anything yet. I downloaded the IM, but don't know how to use it either, so bear with me. I'm trying! But I do feel happy about being able to figure it out, eventually that is. So hope this finds everybody doing great! I got off at 8:00 tonight, therefore it is getting late and gotta go. I'll leave this picture for everyone, a very peaceful site. At the Tetons. Enjoy. I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT VALENTINES DAY!

When I sign in, I go to my fake site. SO HOW DO YOU NAVIGATE MY SPACE??!!?!?!?!?!?!? Somebody PLEASE, HELP ME!

STL Today Post Dispatch Reba & Kelly Review!

Reba McEntire/Kelly Clarkson
By Daniel Durchholz
SPECIAL TO THE POST-DISPATCH
02/08/2008
On its face, Thursday’s Reba McEntire/Kelly Clarkson concert before a sold-out crowd at St. Charles’ Family Arena seemed a study in contrasts. Here was superstar singer and actress McEntire, exuding country cool in jeans, boots and a rhinestoned top. Next to her was pop/rock singer and 2002 “American Idol” winner Clarkson in black pants, bare feet and a black t-shirt that read “Ruled by Dread.” If not for the lights and the dozen musicians behind them, they’d have looked like a well-maintained mother and her punk-aspiring daughter on their way to the mall. But both are powerhouse vocalists with enough mutual admiration to warrant a tour that reprises their 2007 appearance on CMT’s “Crossroads” program and their earlier duet that capped off Clarkson’s winning season on “Idol.” The dynamic between the two has never wavered: Reba’s the master and mentor, Clarkson her more than slightly agog pupil. The nearly two hour show found them both onstage throughout, singing each others’ songs, trading vocal lines and backing each other up. It was odd seeing Reba rock out and even play a little air guitar during Clarkson’s numbers such as “Ms. Independent,” “Never Again” and “Since You’ve Been Gone.” But she more than held her own and even schooled the younger singer a bit on Clarkson’s “Idol” hit “A Moment Like This.” Clarkson, meanwhile, thrilled to singing with her hero on her own “Beautiful Disaster,” the gorgeous Patty Griffin hymn “Up to the Mountain,” and some of Reba’s many hits, including “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia,” “Still,” “Is There Life Out There?” and “Fancy.” At one point, McEntire pointed to Clarkson and off-mike, mouthed the words, “She’s good.” She was right, but it wasn’t necessary for Clarkson to reciprocate. Reba’s classy presence and perfect vocal performance spoke for themselves. As encouraging as it is of late to see the Family Arena score increasingly good bookings, it’s fair to ask whether they can handle shows that sell out. Many fans on Thursday were subjected to a pre-show traffic jam that lasted nearly as long as the show itself. The parking lot overflowed and cars were forced to park in fire lanes, across the entrance/exit lanes and along the road outside the venue. It must have been a shock to some to be looking for a nice country/pop concert and get a nasty Woodstock flashback instead.

Diamonds are a girls best friend! Help Me Choose!

Well, with Valentine's day coming up, I began thinking about something I have wanted for a long time, a diamond cross necklace. They are not cheap, but I'm worth it right?! Well, maybe on my 10-year anniversary, but still, I am trying to decide, which one I like best! There are actually 3 I like, but I cannot find a picture of the one at Hudson's, but I did find pictures of the other 2. Therefore, I am posting these 2 and describing the 3rd one. Go ahead and leave comments to help me out!

The 3rd one is-- a single line of round diamonds on each line of the cross (this is the most $). The diamonds were very clear and very bright, and the necklace was plain and very pretty. Now look at the other 2. What do you think?

WHOPPEEE!

Well ladies and gents, the concert is done and over! and WHEW! WHAT A GOOD ONE! Reba and Kelly Clarkson done outstanding, both of them did. I do have to say though, that Kelly can out sing Reba. Now don't get your panties in an uproar if you are a Reba fan, because I am too! I have always thought Reba is excellent, especially since one time, long ago, I heard her sing acapella and blew me over, but still... Kelly out sings her. Kelly has finally learned how to drop down a octave on the ends of her songs, instead of pushing her voice, sounding scratchy and them loosing her voice by the end of the night, IT WAS FANTASTIC! I am so glad we went. Plus they had the comedian, Melissa Peterson (the one that played Barbara Jean in the "Reba" TV show) open for them and she really did a good job. We can't say enough about the bad parking lot for the St. Charles Family Arena, but all in all WHOPPEEEE, I'd do it again. Oh, yeah, did I tell you Kelly and Reba sang my favorite song of Kelly's... Well yes indeedy they did- "Beautiful Disaster" (as some of you may already know), this is my ringtone on my cell phone. Well, gotta go! Mom and Joi are waiting, for "A shopping we will go!" I would post a picture of the concert, but they are all on mom's camera, bummer.

NO MORE SNOW!

Well, we got the SNOW! That dirty 4 letter word and 8.4 inches of the stuff! But yesterday was pretty nice, even kind of warm. I went around wearing just a sweatshirt. Pretty good with 8 inches of snow on the ground. Now just keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't snow by or on Thursday night, remember I have my favorite femme's concert coming up and I don't want to miss it or for it to be canceled. Two times is not a charm! (Joi was going to take me to see Kelly Clarkson, she even got tickets, but the concert was cancelled.) So keep your fingers crossed for me! I am ready for spring and for Daffodils!! My friend Lynda is asking my mom and myself to come down to Arkansas and see Garvan Gardens for Daffodil Days! This is a big MAYBE on my list of things to do. Depends on the days and if I can get off. As everyone knows, I love and collect daffodils, so here's to them.
