Incredible Friends

by DeeDee


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.......

    Dee,

    That was a great gift, Kudos to your friends. Your night sounded so special.. I can't watch the vid at work, but I will watch it tonite. I like Rufus (his name cracks me up tho) and his music, I have never seen him in concert, but I bet he is great, he surely has a great voice!

    I am sorry for your friend, I hope she lives her life to the fullest and as many years before her..

    Thanks for your blog today, I appreciate it..

    Oh, and LOL on QOTD J/L picked.. cracked me up!

    Morning Glories!

    Jodi congrats on first!

    Deedee what fantasic friends you have! I had never heard of Rufus but I am glad you introduced him. I could just sit and listen to him play the piano. An obvious talent! Loved this song.

    Hoping the damn doctors don't know what they are talking about when it comes to your friend Lisa. She sounds like a pistol!

    Shirley Happy Birthday!

    Good Morning Hooters!
    JODIHO- congrats on 1st!!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY!!! I would sing to you but Jodi will vouch that it is not really a good thing...

    DeeDee- you do have a special friends indeed. You are right, you are lucky to have then for all these years. Blessings and best wishes to Lisa.

    Hope everyone has a great day and weekend. Bittersweet for me, my Mom is coming for the weekend which is the good part- but the bad is that today is the anniversary of the day my dad passed away.

    BUT- I only smile when I think of him, he suffered too long and I hope that whatever, wherever (yesterdays question?) his soul rests -he is painfree and at peace.

    Going to see the movie "Blindside" today- I just know I will need tissues...

    ***HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHIRLEY!***


    Miss Jodi Congrats on #1! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself last night.

    DeeDee What a great birthday celebration you had! I wish I could have seen you and your friends singing "Who's Sorry Now". I'm glad you had such a good time. I loved the words to this song. I used to be very addicted to cigarettes and chocolate milk, btw. I'm so sorry about your friend Lisa. I hope she proves them wrong. (((HUGS)))

    Happy Birthday SHIRLEY. I hope you have an nice day and you are still an youngster in my book. You were only two when I graduated from high school.

    JODI: Glad you enjoyed the movie. Were there a lot of screaming girls there? I over-head a lady say she would go to the first show again because there was too much screaming and she couldn't hear the movie.
    BTW, My phone drops all calls when TINA sings too. She doesn't hold a candle to your beautiful voice.

    LYNN: I am sorry you are having a rough time. I think it might be time for you to go on another one of those all inclusive couple of days for one and get some good rest.

    DEEDEE: What a great Birthday you had with your friends. I guess that is what is nice about being older (like some of us) as we can have some wonderful friends for so many years. I am blessed with friends like that too and how fun they surprised you. I wish you would have had it taped at the karaoke place..,what a fun blog that would be to watch. I send how prayers and hopes for your friend that she is beating the odds and does well.

    SCIRISH: FROM AREA 51: I was so mad at God for a long time after my young 57 year old husband was taken in a matter of days from me. I just couldn't understand it and I still don't. I talked to a priest about it as I was feeling mad but then guilty to be mad at God. They reassured me that I was "normal" and that God had very big shoulders. I have gotten away from those feelings many years ago but it took a long time and much grief counseling.

    Ok....out the door to meet my brother. HE IS BUYING ME LUNCH. He lost a bet to me.

    See ya' all later

    DEEDEE: You have a wonderful group of friends..and it sounds like you had a really unforgettable night! I'd never heard of Rufus Wainwright until you told me about the album "Rufus Does Judy at Carnagie Hall" I just loved it. Your friend Lisa sounds like a fighter..I bet she will prove them all wrong. I'll be praying for her.

    Loved your blog today DEEDEE..thank you!

    GOLDIE: Big {{Hugs}} to you..

    DIANNE: Enjoy your lunch..it's about time! ;)

    LYNN: I hope the fog lifts soon and you feel better. {{hugs}}

    CAROL: But did you enjoy your ice cream? :D

    TINA - I didn't say that I didn't like you singing.....just my phone!!! Luv u 4!!!

    ZONA - The popcorn was everything I could've hoped for.....hot, BUTTERY, totally yummo!!!

  27. Dianne/DenverNovember 20, 2009 at 5:09 PM

    ZONA: So Nikki loves TINA'S singing. I think they may have met at singing school. I just don't think that TINA graduated from it like Nikki did. Nothing personal TINA...but as the saying goes, "it is what it is".

    GOLDIE; I know an anniversary of a loved one is always hard each year. I am excited for you that your mom is coming to visit. It always seems like that is a fun time for all of you (including JODI).

    I am already home from lunch with my brother. It sure is different going with a guy instead of a girlfriend. Bruce and I just talked and ate and then it was time to go...what happened to the other fours hours I am used to spending when I go to lunch? He is leaving for Texas tomorrow for the Thanksgiving week so he had things to do but I doubt that would have changed it. Men...they are so different!

    MO; You were trying to decide what kind of wine went with PB last night....I think this is the time for box wine in your all time favorite flavor j/s

    J/L; When do you leave for your holiday? Hope you have a lot of fun.

    TINA AND ZONA...REGARDING SNOW: TINA, I would like you to pass Denver by this time with your storm and send it on to MARY and that direction as MrD needs to get out of town on Tuesday to his moms.

    ZONA; We all know by now why you want snow. Just think if you lived in a snow area...you would never get out of bed, swimming pool, off couch, off kitchen table, out of back seat of car, etc. You get my drift everyone, right?

  28. Dianne/DenverNovember 20, 2009 at 6:49 PM

    Where is everyone? Two hours since the last post (mine) and no one around.

    I am off to meet some old co-workers for a little happy hour. MrD will be so surprised when he comes home and sees all the work I have done...I have surprised myself and think I might even do more when he is gone next week. I will probably throw a movie or two in with grandkids too.

    The mess from last night is still all over the place but like I said last night, "I'm not cleaning it up since I didn't get to play with all of you." I don't think the maid service was here either today

    Evening all.....

    I have literally spent the day working on my farms and island.....crazy I know....lol

    Thanks for the encouragement for Lisa.....in 2002 when she was diagnosed the doctors said 3 years.....so next April she will have been defying the odds for 5 years...she looks better than she did when she was 25 and she has always been one of those women that cause people to put down their silverware and stare when she walks in a restaurant....she is very beautiful....inside and out......she had 6 months of chemo at first but she said "no more"....and has had several surgery's... when the cancer shows up somewhere......but she is the same as she has always been.....always laughing...wonderful Lisa....

    She has accepted her year from the doctors and reminded me that we always said we wanted to die before we got old and funky(her words)..lol....and I tell her.."but I didn't know my old age was going to be so much fun!!"

    I haven't accepted the "year" and I won't.....she is going to be the first to survive late stage ovarian cancer as far as I am concerned..

    And the birthday she pulled off was not typical of things she does all the time....but it is typical of the many many joys and laughter we have shared.....

    So thanks again and those of you who pray...keep her in your prayers.....and those of you like me who certainly wish her health and many years to come....keep it up.....there is power in numbers!!

    Good health and love to all.....D

    Okay..so, first thing Monday I was leaving for work and had on this lighter weight skirt because it was going to be in the 60's. Right before I left for work I thought maybe I should put a slip under it because it was a little see through. I went upstairs and grabbed a slip real quick and put it on and ran out the door.

    I walked up to the door and I felt something..to my horror when I looked down my SKIRT WAS AROUND MY ANKLES!!... My boss was the only one in the conference room because someone else was going down to get the visitor! He looked at me and I tried to kick it off and got tangled in it. His face turned red and he tried to hide behind his notebook while I got myself under control. I almost fell trying to get it off and I was so EMBARRASSED!!!...

    He says, "Well, I guess that is what happens when you lose a lot of weight". I just couldn't say anything..! omg,!

    Of course my daughter thought it was hilarious! She said, "Mom, that is like your underwear falling off"...*shaking head* what a week! My boss was really sweet about it though, he even told me a story about an embarrassing moment that he had once. I ended up telling the others because I asked him if he please wouldn't tell one of my bosses because he always ribs me..and he said, "well, I might tell him but he won't say anything"..so I just told him myself..you know, better out of the horses mouth..they say. It was still a crazy week. I think I blushed half way through it.

    Another embarrassing moment at work was brought up when this happened...I was making arrangements for one of my bosses to go to China. We were on a conference call and I said, "The republic of Vagina"..well, I actually said the Republic of China but I stuttered just at the right moment that it sounded like VAGINA! You would not believe the laughter from the men on the other end of the conference call. So, of course, one of my bosses said it wasn't as funny as the Republic of Vagina.
