I posted to you in the OCD that I'm sorry your Jayhawks lost.     There were so many upsets today.  Memphis lost, too.

Other than the drunk chick with the thong hanging out of her jeans, it was pretty fun!

I am so ready for spring. This winter has been not so much fun.

It was bad. I didn't get to see the second half, but I'm happy I didn't.  Oh well.

What is it about bowling alleys and drunks???   

You better get to bed, silly girl, so you can get up in time.     So good to find someone here at the same time as me.   

[KSChristian4Clay]

I don't know. Jonathan asked me if the girl was aware that drinking kills brain cells. I told him she doesn't have many to spare it seems. 

Okay, catch you later this morning. 

Night!

[woodstock854]

Goodnight, Meesa.  I hope you have some wonderful

Fran - That  picture is so cute!!! 

I'm up doing a weather watch.     Always hoping for a snow day.     When anticipating one, I usually wake up and keep an eye on the weather, and then we have school anyway...and I end up having to go in doubly tired AND in bad weather.     I'll let you know if we have school or not today.  It's snowing, but not very hard, but it's supposed to be very windy and cause drifting.  So we'll see.

Hi yall time is 5:45 I know for many this is the time you usually get up. Not me I sleep till 10 a.m. I was up coughing I wish this flu would just go away. The cat is hogging the bed. She looks so peaceful I wont bother her.

I am off to try to sleep.

Woody I hope you get that snow day.

Yo, women!  I give you a sneak peek!





I am supposed to be going to see Spamalot this weekend.

I need help from the gods:

  1)  that Clay is not sick     

  2)  that I am not sick 

  3)  that my friends are not sick 

  4)  that the weather on Friday AM will permit flying 

  5)  that the weather in NYC doesn't interfere with any of our plans 

  6)  that Clay does the stage door at least once while we are there                 

  7)  that no one throws anything out of any windows adjacent to the Schubert Theater 



So............if anyone is up tonight will you please use that time constructively and pray that I get all of my wishes?

Thanks in advance, to you AND the gods.

I probably won't be online till at least Tuesday girls.  I hope you won't even know that cuz that means you weren't here and that would be a good thing.  But just in case you do end up here, here is somebody to lull you back to sleep.  He just wore himself out workin on that new album.  Poor Clay.    Pleasant dreams all.

Greetings fellow insomniacs!      I have returned from my Spamalot weekend in NYC and what a great weekend it was!

Clay was fantastic in that role and I got his autograph so I was thrilled, but you've already heard about that stuff many times.  There's something else I want to share with you tho.  One of the best and most unexpected things I saw on our weekend in NYC was the 4 Project Runway dresses on display at the Hershey store.  Since most of you don't watch I'll explain.  The designers are given a challange every week .  On episode 6 the challange was to make a design using anything they could get their hands on in 5 minutes from the Hershey Store in NYC.  They made some amazing stuff and 4 of them are in the store.  This is a pic I took with my phone.




Here's what is up there from the website.  This is the link:  Project Runway Hershey Store Challange

    by Rami, this was the winning dress

    by Chris

    by Kit

    by Kevin


Also these are the other finished pieces that weren't on display.

    by Christian, made from wrappings from Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

    by Jillian, a skirt and corset made with Twizzlers

 
I was just really excited to see this so unexpectedly and I thought you all would like to see it too. 

New York is just a cornucopia of interesting and unusual things to see and do.  Thank you Clay for getting me there.  And I will most certainly return to experience more of it's unique culture and history.



Nighty night girls.   

[mrs. c.]

Frannie, these are amazing!!!  I should have stopped in here last night, we would have been here at the same time need sleep

[ILClaymate]

Fran ~ thanks for posting all those completed dresses and who designed them.  It was really cool to see that surprise in the Hershey's store and I'm glad you got a picture of them!  I'd like to see that episode entirely....maybe I'll see it on a rerun one of these days.

                 ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....................

[franniek54]

Hello night-timers.      How ya be?

I got diverted over to Hannah Waddingham's website tonight...hannah waddingham.com...It's really cool!  She's got all kinds of stuff on there...photos, youtubes, music videos, Spamalot clips, movie trailers.  She's in a movie that's being released this summer...How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.

I'm thinkin' Clay & Hannah.  Wadda ya think?  Look how hot she is.  They're a good match.

Or at the very least, a duet!  Think on it tonight and get back to me in the morning. 

[ILClaymate]

Ok, Ms. Franniekins.....when do we get a review of the newly acquired OH-fficial lipbalm?

[franniek54]

Minty! with a hint of cinnamon. 

The petrolatum and Aloe Vera gel make it feel smooth and silky on my lips.

and the Oxybenzone make them kissably soft. 




also....the really cute guy on the tube makes you want to take it out, look at it, and use it...often!  which is the key to effective lip care--regular and frequent moisturizing.   


(PS ~ If anyone doesn't want theirs, send it my way )

[ILClaymate]

Wow, who knew that all that was packed into one small tube of chapstick????     I take it you like it very much?!? 

[franniek54]

Hey anybody   

I just finished watching this show that I have NEVER heard of before called Gone Country on CMT.  It's 7 performers from other genres who want to cross over into country.  They had to write their own song and perform it with a band in front of a huge country audience. 

I just caught the finale tonight, and the reason I stopped and watched is because Diana DeGarmo was in it.  She did pretty well, I don't know if she was sincere about crossing over or if she just did it for the exposure, but I'm thinkin the latter.  This is her performance:  Back Where We Ended by Diana DeGarmo

The winner was Julio Iglesias Jr.!!!  Go figure!  He can barely speak English!!!!  and his delivery did not sound country at all!  but he was hot and the girls liked him so I guess that's all that matters.  Here's his performance:  The Way I Want You by Julio Iglesias Jr.

I was wondering what reality shows you girls are watching these days.     There are so many of them now, I'd like to know if I'm missing any good ones.  I kinda like the ones that teach you a little about different lifestyles, or how things are done.


Here's what I like right now:

America's Next Top Model  (CW)

Beauty and the Geek  (CW)

Project Runway  (Bravo)

Work Out  (Bravo)

Q ueer Eye for the Straight Guy  (Bravo)

Little People, Big World  (TLC)

What Not to Wear  (TLC)

American Idol  (FOX)

Dancing with the Stars  (ABC)



Reality shows I have watched in the past:

Amish in the City  (Really good but they never aired the last show!  What's that about?)

Extreme makeover

Joe Millionaire  (One of my first, that's when I realized how deviously they edit these things)

Super Nanny  (I wish they had this show when my kids were little.  They have some great ideas.)

Search for the Ultimate Coyote Ugly  (Nothin special)



My guilty pleasure:

The People's Court  (Judge Marilyn Milian is a hoot, and you learn about the law.)



And the best reality show ever made IMO, my favorite, and the grand-daddy of them all............

          1900 House  (PBS)      which transports an actual modern family back to life in 1900.  They had to live a Victorian era lifestyle for 3 months. 


Here they are.          What that poor family went thru!  I could watch that series over and over.
