Thanks Xenia. Got both your posts. Loved the visual of nuts hanging around the family tree! And I'm so glad that John got over his really bad night. That's some strong guy you landed!
Thanks for posting so fast on this new thread! I was really scared that nobody would! And it was specially important to me today because Karl called me in tears 10 times this morning, mainly because he hasn't seen me in a month and is really lonely. God forbid the UGLY SISTERS should choke on their spleen and go see him. Sorry! I sometimes feel so desparate because I get NO help. I'm taking care of their Dad and basically they're just waiting for one of us to die!
OOOOps! This is NOT what this thread is all about. So, tonight I watched the season opener of The Voice! A winner all the way. Great singers trying out, and two new members on the judging team: Pharrell (sp.?) Williams and Gwen Stefani. Thought I'd hate her, but she's really quite a sweetie. Of course Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are back, doing their great stuff. So, I caught a big break, and not really a silly one, tonight.
Have to tell you that The Voice is a major departure for me. I've always been a fanatical opera lover - used to sing Gilbert & Sullivan growing up in England. But I'm lovin' it.
Still haven't shaken the damn bronchial pneumonia. 6 weeks now. So it looks like I'll have time to find some more silly shows on TV. But there's gotta be more going on out there. List of silly foods (baking excepted - that's Xenia's), books, movies, politicians - now there's one - I could start at the top and just keep it comin'! Hey, how about silly MAYORS! But it's time for someone else to chip in.
Tomorrow the social worker who stood me up last week is supposed to come and see how they can help me further. Who knows, maybe she'll contribute to the silly season, too. And, skpeaking of that, Christmas decorations in stores BEFORE October. Now how silly is that?
Xenia, I hope that you and John have a really, really good night's sleep tonight. And an even better day tomorrow.
