For my birthday, my "posse" rented a stretch Hummer and took me to Marks for dinner in Houston. It was great and then we went to a karaoke bar. Three of us have a little skit that we have done for years to the song "Who's Sorry Now".....I'd explain it, but you would really have to be there...lol. We had a fantastic evening and it was a good birthday.
My gift came as a total surprise...especially with this bunch.....because they are not the best at keeping secrets and they had been planning for months to take me to see Rufus Wainwright in concert in Austin. I discovered his music a couple of years ago and am a big fan. Only these friends could have pulled this off. It wasn't until on the drive home that Lisa took these tickets out of her bag and I said, "Whatcha got there honey?" She said, "Oh...tickets for some guy named Luther Wetwipe or something..." I snatched the tickets and said "That's RUFUS WAINWRIGHT!!!! HE IS INCREDIBLE!!! You know Elton John has called Rufus the best songwriter in the world.....OMG...I would love to see him."....and Lisa said, "well here..." and the others screamed Happy Birthday! I almost messed my pants....after all that food...and to be shocked that way....
The concert was Tuesday night. We all went. We sat second row center. It was wonderful. On top of everything else, Lisa had arranged for me to meet him backstage. THAT was also a surprise at the end of the show. WHAT A NIGHT!! I am so lucky to have had this group of friends for the last 30 years.
BTW....Lisa....my friend that made the night so special, is 53 years old and was diagnosed with third stage ovarian cancer in 2002. Doctors seem to feel that this may be her last year on earth....and she is so dedicated to making everything we do special........I love you, Lisa.....and thank you.......

Bonjovi is on Conan! I was just channel surfing and saw him :)
Tina, jealous of what?...him?...pfft!!!!
Carol: That is awesome! :) I am glad that you and Jim are getting along well. He can be rather a sweaty experience, but definitely worth it. I like to go to the Y on Friday nights. I watch Medium, do the elliptical for an hour and watch all the hunky men do weights right in front of me. It's heaven!
Oh, Hi Mary! So, you are the one that loves Bon Jovi...! I watched his movie on Showtime and it was so good.
Nice try Tina...don't think that will be in my dreams.

It was in 07, during the writer's strike..but we had a really good time anyway. Although, when we went to Rodeo Drive, it rained so hard..lol. It was weird. I am excited about going again. My daughter loves loves loves it.
Okay, I am so hungry and I shouldn't be, i ate like a pig tonight. Well, I better get some shut eye...I need to get up and go work out tomorrow..then paint the house.
Take care all. :) Sweet dreams of the finest things.

hi bear~
goodnight Carol~
Bebbi OMG! Those stories of yours were SO funny! Thanks for the laughs!
Shirley I bet you are a lot more likely to make it into heaven than many people who actually believe in it.
I've been doing all sorts of things to get ready to be gone for the week. Including packing up the cats and their meds and taking them to the clinic for boarding. I'm so anal about feeding the stupid outdoor birds, that I've got a vet. tech. coming over to do that. Lani would have done it for me but her back is still causing her trouble.
I hope everyone has a very nice Thanksgiving. I'll try to check in on my BlackBerry.
That was my delete. It wouldn't post at all, then posted twice.
