Blue Roses

My mom's friend Deb has a daughter named Ashley who uses an AAC device, the same on that Josh uses, a DynaMyte. She's a very sweet girl, I've met her several times, and I know her mom pretty well, too. Ash has this extremely high sensitivity to noise, and her mom took her to NYC to meet this doctor to see what they could do about it. While there, they went to the Rosie show, and got to watch from backstage in the Green Room, where it is much quieter. Well, Ashley is a pretty big Britney fan (as is her older brother. <.g>), and she was there on Thursday, when Britney was. So of course she wanted to meet her. They told her they'd try, but apparently Britney is pretty afraid of meeting fans, so not to get their hopes up. Well, Britney did stop by, bodyguard in tow. <.g> She was the sweetest thing...asked questions about Ash's device (so did her bodyguard, who apparently totally turned into a teddy bear over Ashley LOL), signed a lot of autographs for Ash and her friends, and also one for her brother. He had wanted them to give Britney his phone number, but his mom decided Britney might prefer signing something. LOL Then Ash gave her an ASL I love You pin, which Britney put right on. Isn't that the sweetest thing? She jumped up SO highly in my estimation today. <.g> Plus, hey...three degrees from Lance now. ; ) Ash-Brit-Lance. LOL But yeah, I'm really impressed by her.

After britney left, Rosie came in and spent an hour with them, chatting and signing things and everything. Ash's grandfather had made some ASL plaques that said "I love you" and Ash asked Rosie to sign them and put them up on eBay to raise money for the 911 Fund, which Rosie did. All in all, it seems like they had an amazing day with the show, and I now think Rosie and Britney kick ass. LOL
