Monday! (Pictures)

♥ Happiness….!

- Hanging out with two cool girls, Bizzy and E. Mae, all evening;
- Eating spaghetti;
- Yummy Italian desserts;
- Making headway on my WIP;
- Talking to cool people online (you know who you are!);
- Taking pics outside, like these:

Aidan, Bizzy, and E. Mae drawing.
Yes, that is my child appearing to pick his butt. *Sigh*

Stolen from E. Mae’s myspace. Teehee.

Gooofy E. Mae! Heehee.

I guess it’s officially Tuesday now. Sigh. Time flies during fun. It’s just the way things are. I’ll go to work tomorrow and time will crawl until lunch time. Then it’ll go fast for that 30 minutes, then crawl again until time to go home. WAH. No fair. No fair at all!

Hm. I’m just barely tired right now. It’s almost 1am, I have a 3-4 meeting tomorrow to talk about *goals* and I’m already having Friday-itis. GULP. Not good. When is the first day of summer?

I’m also worried that the whole swollen gland painful thing is moving to my right ear/throat whatever now. I really don’t want to be missing more work, but I will take off in a heartbeat if I need to. Sigh. I’ve already given it to Abbie, somehow. I come down with the weirdest things. Like a few weeks ago, I had a really weird and mysterious rash. Not sure where it came from, but it was on my legs and arms and itched like mad. I thought it was my blue shower gel, but nope, that wasn’t it because Aidan got it. A LOT more severely than I did, too. The poor guy was a mess of hives. He didn’t use the blue gel, so there goes that theory. I still have no idea what could have caused it.

I should try to sleep. Man, the night owl in me is fighting like crazy. Shadow (the owl’s name–she’s silvery-grey with black specks) really wants to stay up and goof off. But I must put her to bed for now. Else, I will be tired in the morning. All day. No plans tomorrow evening that I know of, though, so maybe I can put in Robin Hood, cuddle with Aidan, and sort of relax.

‘Til next time….

MMC’s Got it Going On, FUNKY STYLE!

I haven’t done an MMC post in… forever. Here’s some history. I used to be a huge, huge, huge fan of the All-New Mickey Mouse Club. Yes, this is the show that spawned the likes of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, and Keri Russell. Before there were those guys, there was a Mylin Brooks, a Terra McNair, a Rhona Bennett, a Tony Lucca. Definitely a Ricky Luna. Those kids made my life. I wrote fan fiction about them before it was cool. They got me out of bed when I felt like covering up and hiding from the world. They kept me in shape, for I learned every dance step to every cool song they performed. They helped me dress, speak, grow. Every single day at 5:30pm, I would sit in front of my TV, VCR remote in hand, ready to tape anything with Ricky in it, and all musical numbers.

The musical numbers were my favorite parts, and that’s why I was never surprised when these kids grew up into talented adults. Following their dreams. Entertaining.

Many of them have found each other on MySpace, and I’ve had a blast friending them and being able to talk with these people who touched my life so much back in the early ’90s. They’re all working so hard, still chasing dreams–even the ones who have found them–they’re still going. They’re pulling for each other, supporting each other. True friends ’til the end. They inspired me then, and they’re still inspiring me now.

Visit their MySpace sites and show some love:

Mylin · Tony · Rhona · Dale · Terra
Christina · T.J. · Tate · Ricky · Jennifer · Chase &middot J.C.

If I missed any, feel free to post the URLs in the comments.

Today, Mylin released her first American album, called American Girl. I listened to a few samples on her MySpace page and it’s GOOD. I’m headed to CD BABY to buy it now. ♥ Much love for the Mouseketeers!!!
