    It's alarming how charming I feel
    And so pretty
    That I hardly can believe I'm real
    See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
    what mirror where?
    Who can that attractive girl be?
    Such a pretty face
    Such a pretty dress
    Such a pretty smile
    Such a pretty me!

    I feel pretty
    Oh so pretty
    That the city should give me its key
    A committee
    Should be organized to honour me
    I feel dizzy
    I feel sunny
    I feel fizzy and funny and fine
    And so pretty
    Miss America can just resign...

    la la la la la...la lala!

    It has an auction estimate of 10 mil but will prolly go way higher...

    This blog is so funny!! I enjoyed reading all those postcards.

    Zona, Goldie, and SacBarb waving to you too!

    I'm off to the movies with my friend Candy. We are going to see Water for the Elephants. I read the book and it was excellent. The movie reviews are stinky, but I'm just glad that I'm getting out. I don't do that much. The kids are with their dad for a couple of hours.

    Good Afternoon Owls.....MICHAEL: I love your song today. I used to sing that song and dance around my room as a child. Also congratulations on first two days in a row.

    J/L and SACBARB: Are you both still going to your Royal wedding parties? Do they start at 1AM? Tell us about them as they sound so fun...like the Superbowl of weddings. I wished I was going to one.

    ZONA: Yes, you do have the chair but you are not all that old.....well, maybe a little :) but you can stay awake a lot longer than I can. That too will change as you jump up in years.

    ITEACH: I am so glad you are getting a chance to get out and go to the movies. No school today or is this after school? I am probably just getting confused on our time zones.

    BEBBI: I hope the sun stays out for you and that you stay safe from all this bad weather. Very scary in so many states.

    JODI: Sorry I missed your call last night. You are so in my thoughts every day and sending hugs to you. I love the picture of your parents dancing that you put up.

    TINK; I hope you are feeling better today. How many farms do you have now? I finally quit in October as I wasn't feeling well and it was too time consuming for me.

    GOLDIE: Please give hugs all around for us tonight to JODI and thanks for all you do. You are a great friend to us all.

    I am going with my two "play" friends to see 9 to 5 the Musical tonight and out for some seafood before the show. One of the people from the first American Idol (Diana something) is playing the lead. It is before I watched AI so faithfully.

    Hope everyone has a good rest of the day and safe weather.

    I have to tell you what a crock of shit this whole gas business is.

    This afternoon one of the girls at work went the Circle K to get gas. There's a Subway there, so she decided to run in and get a sandwich and then get her gas.

    When she parked, gas was $3.89. When she came out to pump it was $4.15. WTF? It was the same gas that was already in the tank, not new gas they may have paid more for. It is a crock. ANd yet the oil companies still report record profits.

    SacBarb Well, things changed about watching the wedding. I'm just going to meet my friends for breakfast and then we are going to my friend's house and watch her recording of it. That suits me fine as I am not a Royal Watcher and could actually care less about this. I would like to see Kate's dress, though.

    Tina So....you moan in the morning and grunt in the evening. Must be all that communicating you have to do for your job. You just kind of run out of words it seems. Either that, or it has something to do with having 3 kids.
