Viva Las Vegas!

Today Ann-Margret turns 71 and I wish that I had half of her career and all of her looks.  I first fell in love with Ann-Margret in Viva Las Vegas.  To me she was Elvis' true match in singing and dancing and they made a gorgeous couple.  Happy Birthday Ann-Margret here's to many more and thank you for your contribution to my life.  You are a true beauty as well as a remarkable talent, young people today can really learn a thing or two about grace and beauty from stars like you.

Why Me?

Sometimes I really wonder why things happen to me.  I know that I am not a perfect person, but sometimes I wonder if I am really a horrible person because of all the bad things that happen to me.  I am typically not a spiritual person and here is the reason for that.  I feel like when I pray for things my prayers are never heard or answered.  Now I have had many prayers answered and I do thank God for the things he has blessed me with, but sometimes I really wonder, why me?  I am sure that the majority of people that inhabit this Earth have had some type of financial problem at some point of time in their life.  I am also aware that there are people out there who have it way worse than me, and whenever I feel like things can not get any worse for me I think about those people.  But there are still times when I wonder, why me? 

Obsessed...

I have been known to become a little obsessed with things at times.  When I find something new that I love I immerse myself in it and become well, obsessed.  My latest obsession is the television show The Tudors.  I started watching it about two weeks ago and I am almost done the entire series :(  I have become obsessed with this show because it is just so GOOD.  The cast is perfect and the costumes are magnificent, especially the jewelry.  When I am done watching the series I will definitely be sad.  After each episode I find myself on the Internet trying to find out as much information about characters as possible.  And while I don't wish that I lived during King Henry VIII's reign, I would definitely love to time travel there for a visit.

I have also become obsessed with Netflix.  My Netflix obsession is what led to my Tudors obsession, lol.  Other than that my normal obsessions with coffee, food, and music are still alive and well :)  

 

Lucky Number 13

Number 13 on my list of 101 things to do is to donate blood. Well today I have completed that task! I am very proud to say that I donated blood and could possibly save someone's life.



America's Oldest Teenager

Yesterday America lost a true legend and icon.  Richard Wagstaff "Dick" Clark truly changed the course of history and not just entertainment history.  American Bandstand changed history and really had a strong influence on the lives of so many people.  Dick Clark was America's boy next door, he seemed to never age and was thus given the nickname "America's Oldest Teenager".  When I heard of his passing I could not stop crying, I just kept thinking wow, this is the end of an era.  Dick Clark loved music, he loved people, and he loved bringing light to people's lives.  I would look forward to him every New Year's Eve and after he suffered a stroke the program was never the same.  But in true Dick Clark style he did not give up, he re-learned how to talk and walk and came back to New Year's Rockin' Eve.  My favorite part of the program was the countdown into the new year, Dick Clark would count down and I would count down with him.  I am so heartbroken that I never got to meet this true legend, but his memory will live on and I will never forget the impact that he had on my life.  R.I.P Dick, and know that you will NEVER be forgotten.

All I Really Want...

All I really want is for someone to ask me how I'm doing.  I want someone to ask me how I'm doing, but know better than to believe me when I tell them that I'm fine.  I want that person to look into my eyes and know that I am not fine.  All I really want is a person who takes the time tell me that things will get better and convince me that it's the truth.  I just want one person in my life that truly understands me and makes an effort to understand me.  I'm not a complicated person but I am also not simple minded.  All I really want is someone to talk to, someone who will listen to me no matter what I have to say.  All I really want is to LOVED. 

Job Interview...

So I had a job interview today and I must say it went pretty well.  The woman who interviewed me was really down to earth and sweet.  I have a call back for a working interview, which is exactly what it sounds like.  I will be working for two hours to get a feel for the center and the children so I am really excited.  I hope that I get the job, I need the money and the experience can't hurt :)  Wish me luck everyone!
