An Awesome Weekend For Jazzy

January 20, 2014

I guess I rested too much yesterday, because this was not my best night  for sleeping.  I did doze on and off throughout the night, but that is not the same as a few good solid hours of sleep.  Ah well, tonight will be better.  It's almost 5 a.m. so I thought I'd just get an early start on my day.

I got a happy email last evening from Deanne, telling me the results of yesterday's day at Jazzy's musical theatre competition.  She was in three more numbers:  (1) Telephone Hour from Bye Bye Birdie, which received a platinum trophy and overall first place and was nominated for access broadway star.   (2) Les Miserables, which received a platinum trophy and overall second place.  (3) Mary Poppins, which received a platinum trophy, overall first place and won access broadway star.  This is AWESOME!!!  Her theatre group, On Stage Theatre, received highest honor of 2014 Best Debut Broadway School.

Oh if only my Michael were still here.  Musical Broadway was his absolute favorite entertainment next to baseball and softball.  He would be so puffed up with pride, and rightly so.  With two fabulous baseball players and a budding Musical Broadway star in the family, who wouldn't be proud.

Today, I really must call the beauty salon and make an appointment for Pogo.  His precious little face is getting lost in all the hair and he is beginning to look like a teeny tiny grizzly bear.  He even growls like one sometimes to get his point across. 

All this extra hair has made it difficult for him to get in and out of his Santa hat hideaway bed.  I was awakened the other night by some soft scuffling noises, and found Pogo stuck halfway in his Santa hat.  The hat bed had rolled over on it's side and was pulling Pogo along with it.  The poor little fellow was getting so frustrated, so I pulled him out of it.  We may have to give this bed away and find him something else.

I have another humorous story to share.  Folks, have you ever gone Funeral Home Hopping?  Well it seems that my daughter and her hubby, along with a friend, did just that one late afternoon and evening.  Another friend's family member had passed and the wrong name and address of the funeral parlor was listed in the newspaper.  So, they spent a few hours visiting several places to find their friend's mom and pay their respects.   I'll give them credit, they certainly tried.

Another story I have to share this morning happened a few days ago while I was watching the QVC shopping channel.  The sales person was describing some little bracelets and the charms that were on them, and happened to mention that they would be perfect gifts for that "man/woman love holiday" that was coming soon.

I don't know about other folks, but this type of personal expression in a sales pitch does not go over well with me.  She could have just said "Valentine's Day".  She did not have to be so specific in her personal beliefs.  I called the station's consumer department and put in a complaint.  I told them that I was deeply offended by her remark and if it continued, I would not be watching their program any more. 

In my world, we do not all have to look or be the same.  But we do have to respect each other and live together in our world.  Plants and animals do not look and live alike, and neither do us people.  However, the plant and animal world seems to share their world so much better than us people do.

Pogo's beginning to look for his breakfast so I think I'll wander out to the kitchen and whip us up some food.  Till tomorrow, Y'all be safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
