oprah
My mom was on Oprah!! She and her friend Liz went to a taping last Thursday, and it aired today. In the last two minutes, right after they showed the pic of Ty Pennington's new book, it morphs to a crowd shot. And she's not one of the two main ladies they show, but she's clearly scene between their two heads sitting a few rows back. Eeeeee! My mama was on TV!!!! <.g> We were so excited.
*Finally got through to KIIS FM in LA to vote for JC. Now my conscience can relax. I don't even like the song, and I can't be bothered to stay awake and listen to his interview, but by golly, I have to support him somehow. <.g>
Joey, though. Now HIS song I like. He's in a new movie, The Cooler, with William H. Macy and Alec Baldwin, playing a lounge singer, and he has a song on the soundtrack! It's all jazzy and loungey and amusing, and his voice just thrills me. I don't even have to understand/like the words. Just the sound is enough.
My kid is so freaking adorable. She was so happy today, silly and giggling all the time. Like when I stand up, and she immediately slides over into my seat. (Mine is all cool, with wheels and it spins. <.g>) Or when we walk down the hallway, and she loops her arm through mine and giggles. I don't think I'm supposed to be having this much fun at work. <.g> But she makes me smile so much! Even when I want to whack her upside the head and MAKE her focus, she has this tendency to do something that just cracks me up. And she delights in the fact she can make me laugh. <.g>
I'm reading a book called Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. It may sound a little blasphemous, but I don't think it is. It is, however, wickedly funny and loving and makes you think. And it's exactly what the title says - Biff is writing about his life as Christ's (Joshua in this book - Jesus is the Greek version of the Jewish Joshua) best friend, from when they were 6 until the Crucification, since the Bible left out the first 30 years of His life. <.g> I think you can read a few pages at Amazon. I recommend it.
(For example: [T]heorigin of the Easter Bunny is explained as a drunken Josh gushes his affection for bunnies, declaring, "Henceforth and from now on, I decree that whenever something bad happens to me, there shall be bunnies around." As always with satire, it's funny to some, blasphemous to others, take your pick. <.g>)

That's so cool that your mom made it on Oprah!
hee hee hee, I can't help think of this when you say bunnies... "bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes, with their hoppy little feet and twitchy little noses." ;)
