HERE THEY COME

THAT'S GUSTAV ON THE LEFT, FOLLOWED BY HANNA, FOLLOWED BY 2 TROPICAL DEPRESSIONS.

THIS IS FUN....NOT!

Something for the Reproductive Physiologists

Rare Sighting

I had heard they existed...but I had never seen one...

It's OVER

and thankfully TS Fay was pretty much a non-event here. Some gusty wind and heavy downpours at times, but nothing out of the ordinary, thankfully!

Thanks for thinking of me...and hopefully I won't have any more storms to report..(keeping my fingers crossed)



HUGS!!

TS FAY

1:30pm Monday

And awaaaaaaaaaaay we go!!!!!

It's that time of year again...when I start checking the National Hurricane Center/NOAA website numerous times each day. As you can see from the image, most of the computer models have this system heading straight for MY HOUSE!

Thankfully I am prepared..and have been through this before..and most importantly, this isn't even named yet..so chances are it won't be too bad..but it's a reminder that some things are just out of my control. The universe keeps sending me this message...maybe I should start listening.

Have a good weekend..I'll keep you posted.

HUGS!!

Summertime....and the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high...........

Ok I know my blogging and commenting are sporadic...but thats just the way it is during these lazy, hazy, crazy dayz of summer.

We had a great visit with the grankids this past weekend. I played numerous games of gofish, Blokus, The Game of Life (as if I needed a game board for that), swam in the backyard pool, swung children around like airplanes by their arms, played wiffle ball (I did fairly well),shared my extensive knowledge of baseball with my oldest grandson Pierce who is 12 and just started collecting Topps cards. I even surprised myself, knowing so many players and who they played for or were traded from etc... I think YOU'D be impressed. The weather was delightful in the Raleigh area. Mid 80's with low humidity and Carolina blue skies...yumm-o. I hated to leave. But back to reality I must go.

I've been playing around with limewire..having heard Janis Joplin today on XM 40..I was inspired to download most of her album Pearl. I love Janis...so talented...and yet so tragic. I thought you might enjoy this timeless rendition of Summertime I found on youtube:



Other than that...just busy being leelee and all that goes with that.

HUGS!!

Kitchen Concerts - Weekend Mix

Well it's Friday yet again.. and I have a few tunes for you all to fade out the week with. We're heading to NC to visit the chilluns' tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited to see them.


This photo is a couple of years old already!!
That infant in my arms is already 2 1/2!!!!


Have a great weekend bay-bays!

Enjoy!!

Canned Heat- On The Road Again (this song so reminds me of summers as a kid, I know you are thinking..WOW..leelee you were and still are the coolest, Canned Heat when you were a kid....wow)





The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon (self-explanatory sing along tune)

Ray Charles & BB King - Sinners Prayer (no reference..I just dig this song)

Memes, Kristin Davis and VE

Today our fellow blogger VE did a brilliant take on a meme.

He cast readers of his blog in starring roles in a movie of his life. This guy is absolutely the best at this stuff.

In any case..since this is MY blog...I'll share that he picked Kristin Davis (of Sex and The City fame) to play me.

What do you think?? Think he captured the true leelee essence?

Thoughts and Meanderings

Ahh the dog days of summer...I don't even know what to do with myself so I haven't been doing much to be honest.

Well ok, I have been doing a couple of things..

Hubs and I have been riding our bikes each night. We are re-exploring our neighborhood and like to bike to the beach as well. 6-7 miles a night after dinner. Its fun and great exercise. After we get home we plunge in the pool..we've really been enjoying that!

Lets see, this weekend our daughter turns 20 and we are all celebrating in North Carolina with our 6 grandchildren and their Mom and Dad. My step daughter is expecting #7 in September. We love that large family and love being a part of all the controlled chaos. So we are flying up on Saturday morn and returning Monday night. We had to work around daughters days off. I wish we were going a bit longer, but we'll drive up after baby comes!

I have been reading an interesting book called Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier, you may remember that he is the author of Cold Mountain. Its a period piece set in the Blue Ridge Mountain area at the beginning of the 19th Century. Very descriptive and interesting. The story revolves around the adventures of a boy of 12 who is orphaned and basically sold off to a man who runs a trading post on the edge of Indian Territory. The boy runs the trade post by himself and is befriended by Cherokees. Pretty interesting

Since there is very little on TV save for the usual drivel..I have been renting DVDs from Netflix. I am currently engaged in a great series that is produced by Showtime. Its called The Tudors and is about Henry VIII early in his reign as King of England. Its a great story and is punctuated with terrific costumes, good looking and sexy characters, lots of trysts and intrigue. Just my cup of tea. Worth a rent.

I am also totally addicted to Swingtown as you know. I can watch that On Demand , which might possibly be one of the greatest creations of all time!

Been doing some gardening....even in the heat. We have been growing pineapples and I have been transferring lots of baby aloe plants to pots around the yard. I am trying to incorporate plants that require little or no care from me. Works best because I get lazy about such hobbies as gardening. The pineapples and aloe can go a long time between waterings and pretty much take care of themselves. The pineapples take a bout a year to grow but man are they worth the wait. You cannot believe how sweet and yummy they are. If you've had them in Hawaii, then you know. WOW..awesome!

Not blogging too much, just lurking mostly and not even doing much of that..but I'll be back in the groove soon enough.

Thats all the news that's fit to print. Hope you are all having a swell summer.

As always....HUGS!!

Kitchen Concerts - Sweet Emotion

Once again Dan Neer of XM 40, my favorite DJ in all the world, turned me on to a very cool rendition of a great song. This is a version of Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion like you have never heard, by famed guitarist Leo Kottke. Now, being the music lover that I am, I had HEARD of Leo Kottke but never really "Knew" him. I am now a huge fan.

I think you'll agree that this is one sweet version of a rockin' tune. I've also included Aerosmith's version for you purists..

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Kitchen Concerts - War - Summer

There are some summer songs that remind me of those lazy days so long ago, when we had the entire summer off...with nothing to do but hang with friends...perhaps pick up a few more baby sitting jobs, so I'd have money for albums. Go to the beach, the boardwalk..ride bikes, go camping...I Love those songs...you do too, don't you????????

This is a great compilation album with all our favs: Cisco Kid, In The Ghetto, Low Rider...even Spill The Wine (I bet you know all the words... I do)

Enjoy... War - Summer and HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...go get some ice cream!!

Connections

Isn't it amazing the connection we make to new friends? Whether we meet them here or there..or wherever It's almost as if they are old friends....old friends we've had in our lives for a very long time. I feel so blessed to have made some new friends I feel this way about. Sounds corny, but the feelings are real...I'm happy I know you.

HUGS!!

What music are you playing in your car??

You may or may not know that I am an XM Satellite radio junkie. One of the best things about being an adult is being able to afford factory installed XM radio in my whip.




However, while I have 24 hour endless commercial free music in my car..I occasionally want to pop in a CD. At the present time I have about 6 CD's. Thats all that will fit in my console. Here are my choices at the present time:

• Bruce Springsteen - Magic
• Joe Jackson - Jumpin' Jive
• Led Zeppelin - How The West Was Won
• Grateful Dead - Dicks Picks #15 - Englishtown NJ, September 3, 1977 ( I was at this concert so I am sure I hear myself in the applause)
• Robert Plant & Alison Krause - Raising Sand
• Joni Mitchell - The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

What music are YOU listening to when you are driving?

Name That Tune

K...it's been awhile since we did this...so..put on your musical hats and guess away...YOU KNOW THESE!! and remember NO GOOGLING!


1. He had white horses and ladies by the score

2. I lit out from Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep last night, till the morning came around.

3. Well, I built me a raft
And she's ready for floatin'
Old Mississippi, she's calling my name

4. How does it feel to be, one of the beautiful people
Now that you know who you are
What do you want to be and have you traveled very far
Far as the eye can see.

5. If your down and confused, and you don't remember, who you're talking to

6.She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter if its gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows
She comes and goes

FrIday Fun

un-named post - Now named Steve

I was gone all day today...away from my computer...couldn't even check email..

I wanted to post something new, because I didn't want to leave you all feeling sad...or at the very least contemplative again today after yesterdays post.

So this is my un-named post just to top the other one..

Have a nice day

Thoughts and Meanderings

I stopped by my friend Vinny's website this morning. He posted a lovely tribute to a friend who recently passed away. It got me to thinking.

It got me to thinking about how blessed we are to be on this earth for whatever given time we have. My parents both passed at and early age, Mom was 53. Dad was 69 and my sister was only 29 when she passed away. I've had a a lot of heartache to deal with over the years. Each time I lost someone close to me, I would question God, The Universe. It's taken some time, but I do truly believe what I wrote in my comment to Vinny:

"We often ask ourselves why this happens...but in my heart I know for sure that the ultimate plan included this. Angels are sent to this earth to touch and enrich our lives...then they are called on to an even greater good. This is the case with your beautiful friend as well. I am sure."

As I was typing that out..it dawned on me that these were not mere words of comfort..although I hope they are..but this is what I do truly believe. I have been given some harsh lessons over the years and believe I have arrived at a place in my heart and head where I believe. I believe in those words..and I find can find comfort in loss, knowing that it is exactly as it should be at any given time.

This revelation has been working in positive ways for me in many situations in my life now. Daily struggles or events. Relationships old and new. I am open to whatever comes my way and I finally realize that its not always the best idea to "force" an outcome. There is indeed a bigger picture and I feel that I am able to finally understand and embrace that.



HUGS! and smiles today!

You Go Girl!

Kitchen Concert - Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy

I think my friends and I wore down the grooves on this record in the summer of 1973.

God I love Zeppelin!

Enjoy The Crunge and go directly to Dancin' Days, just like on the album.







Have a great weekend!!

Vacation Slide Show

Time to settle in and watch my vacation slideshow. OOOOO's and AHHHHH's appreciated..

You should be able to click on any of the photos for a larger view...

Gotta start somewhere

I think I'll start with a few pictures.....

We all know it's not a trip to New York without sampling the cuisine. Here I am enjoying a dirty water dog with sauerkraut and mustard..OH YUMM-O. We had just spent 4 hours at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. One of my favorite places in all the world. When I viewed Van Gogh's "Wheat Field with Cypresses, 1889" I actually started to cry. I find it most amazing to actually be standing in front of a Van Gogh a Renoir, Manet, Monet. Picasso..etc. And not just one of each....many pieces..to me it is the most amazing experience..I'm still blown away...Oh and the Hot Dog was really good too...

After the Met, we walked down 5th Avenue to Central Park. I really like this picture of The Pond. I like the contrast of nature vs the skyscrapers.

This building caught my eye... I found this on the web:

"Hearst Tower in Midtown Manhattan has achieved official "green" status--the first office building in New York City to be recognized by the USGBC for high environmental performance both on its exterior (core and shell) and interior fit-out and systems". Pretty Cool!!

This is Wollman Rink. I actually saw my first ever rock concert here in July of 1972. We saw Don McClean - American Pie. Bill Withers opened for him. It will always be remembered as my first...therefore it's special like no other. This season the city has a little amusement park there. Rides and games for the kiddies. It made me happy to see the smiling people there. That spot has really good Karma!

This impressive sculpture by José de Creeft was unveiled in 1959 and overlooks the Conservatory Water.
Features Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse and the Cheshire Cat. It's magical!!

Ok, this is starting to feel like someones vacation slide show...I won't show you all 50 pictures...lol...so i will end for tonight...I will try to put a web album together soon,so those of you who actually want to view the photos can..

We had a wonderful trip!!

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll love ya....tomorrow

It's only a day away...

If all goes according to plan (and it should) Hubs and I will be off tomorrow to celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary in New York City...THE City...Skyscrapers and everything. 20 years (and they said it wouldn't last!!)

The weather is supposed to be good...cooler temps and certainly lower humidity than here. We don't have an agenda..we plan on walking through the park..going to a museum or 2 and just being free. On Friday we'll pick up a car and drive out to NJ to visit friends and go antiquing. We'll be home Sunday evening.

I'm fairly psyched as is he...we love NY. So I'll be out of the bloop (short for blog-loop) till next week.

HUGS!!

Kitchen Concerts- Neil Young

There is something about hearing Neil Young that utterly transforms me back into a 17 year old girl. He sings with his heart and he jams like no other. This kitchen concert is really an At Work concert today. I should be working but I am listening to these songs. All of which can be found on Neil's awesome compilation record "Decade"...Enjoy..I am!

I Am A Child

Kitchen Concerts- Donovan & The Allman Bros Band

I have another blog Kitchen Concerts...perhaps you have visited it at some point. I haven't posted there in quite some time and I thought I would incorporate that blog with this blog. So that being said, I will occasionally post a Kitchen Concert here. Songs that I love, from albums that I treasure or have yet to own. I'll share a brief thought and the tune.

Yesterday on XM Deep Tracks - my absolute favorite radio station - played 2 songs back to back. Mountain Jam off Eat A Peach by the Allman Brothers Band followed by the studio version of The Grateful Dead's Scarlet Begonias from Mars Hotel. Two of my most favorite albums of all time.

I emailed my friend Vinny from The Big Leather Couch because I know what an aficionado he is of music (as are most you you dear readers, one of the reasons I love you all). We got to corresponding about Mountain Jam. I mentioned my love for the song and how it was derived or should I say inspired by Donovan's There is a Mountain. To my utmost surprise, Vinny said he did not know that..so I thought I would share MY tutelage as it were with Vinny and y'all.

So here is...Donovan's There Is A Mountain followed by Mountain Jam.

Ok let me be honest here..

It may not even be that I have a block..it really could be that I am feeling extremely lazy. I don't even want to think! I could blame it on the weather..it has just suddenly turned summer here with no hope of a respite from the heat and humidity until Novemeber..ACK!

or..it could be that my life is somewhat quiet and relaxed at the moment. I'm afraid to say that though because when I have disclosed a serene patch in the past... it usually is ended quickly by high drama. I hate to jinx the tranquility.

Oh I know..I know...my husband and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary next week in NYC. I am really excited about going back North. I grew up a mere 15 miles from Manhattan and it is one of my favorite places on earth. We have no real agenda there except to enjoy our city. Go to a museum or 2. Walk around in Central Park. Eat some good food. Enjoy each other. But again I have been remiss in talking about it because...when I do, something comes along to jinx it. Last year our Cali trip got canceled..and that really bummed me out. I am trying to be optimistic..but I am afraid...ok not too afraid, but still. If you think you know me at all....I am usually a fairly sunshiny and optimistic person...so the feeling of pessimism doesn't sit well with me.

Well that's all I can think of today...thanks to all of you loyal readers for stopping my blog. I appreciate you all immensely.

HUGS!!

Bloggers Block

It happens to the best of us. Life gets busy and Blogger takes a back seat. Then when I have a moment to finally post something. I can't think of a thing.

I'll figure something out..

HUGS!

Friday Fun

Wow, it's Friday, this week has been a Hodgepodge of activities and I have a busy weekend ahead of me. Our niece is getting married tomorrow and my hubs is walking her down the aisle. The rehearsal dinner is tonight, so I've been busy getting things in order.

I thought today I would add a youtube video for Friday Fun. This is a 1960's sketch from the Carol Burnett show, in memory of Harvey Korman who passed away last night. What a funny man, I grew up with this kind of humor and it still makes me laugh out loud today. Have a nice weekend all and as always I appreciate you taking a peek here every now and again and taking the time to leave me a comment...

HUGS!

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day and all the patients were shouting 13....13....13




The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks and looked through to see what was going on.




Some bastard poked me in the eye with a stick. Then they all started shouting 14....14....14...

Pictures from my phone..

I've blogged about my fascination with the camera on my phone. I snap random images often..and I recently found I could even record video, but I stumbled on that and haven't figured out how to do it again. I don't know when I will take the time to actually figure that feature out....probably never. I have been enjoying photos on other folks blogs.....so I thought I would share mine.

My husband and walked past this pretty house in Key West last December. So pretty!

Awwww... my granddaughter Sasha when we visited at Easter.

My other granddaughter Lilia, just about made it through dinner one night...she's so cute!!

Here's the park I used to party in with my friends back in the late 70's early 80's in Northern NJ. We used to "hang" there in all types of weather. It's as beautiful now as it was then. Yes, we were obnoxious teens partying, but we always respected this park....and even the neighbors....honest!

Today when I got into my car after work, this is what the temp was outside! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!

My hubby and I passed this on the way to his daughter's wedding last Novemeber. We couldn't believe it. The Bat Mobile...cool!

My daughter Celina and I had lunch at Johnny Rockets last week. The waitress put this down. It still makes me smile..I mean, how could it not!

What can I say...I know this is pretty random...but then again..so am I.

HUGS!!

Economic News......we can all use

Reaganomics Finally Trickles Down To Area Man

HAZELWOOD, MO—Twenty-six years after Ronald Reagan first set his controversial fiscal policies into motion, the deceased president's massive tax cuts for the ultrarich at last trickled all the way down to deliver their bounty, in the form of a $10 bonus, to Hazelwood, MO car-wash attendant Frank Kellener.

Economic Stimulus Check Burned For Warmth

HELENA, MT—Saying the extra bit of kindling material couldn't have come at a better time, 43-year-old school teacher Tim Donaldson received his $618 rebate check from the Internal Revenue Service Tuesday, and then immediately burned it to provide warmth for his wife and two sons. "It gets pretty cold here at night," said Donaldson, adding that with 75 percent of his take-home pay going toward car and mortgage payments, his children's schooling, and his wife's medical bills, the rare opportunity to sleep in a warm house for a night was much appreciated. "I just want to thank the government for sending such a large check. It burned for quite a while." Donaldson, who could not afford matches or fuel to light the check, said he made do by placing the envelope's clear plastic address window at an angle underneath the sun to spark the initial flame, which his family then huddled around until they fell asleep.

Congress To Raise Alpacas To Aid Struggling Economy

WASHINGTON—Members of Congress assured Americans that they have a definitive plan for reviving the slumping economy when they unveiled on Monday a bold new fiscal stimulus package that calls for the purchase of a pair of alpacas.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said the proposal, which is expected to solve

the sub-prime mortgage crisis, boost consumer confidence, and pump much-needed liquid capital into the market, will be put into motion as soon as the first issue of Alpaca World magazine arrives and Congress has a chance to go through the catalog and select the perfect mating pair.

Proponents of the new economic stimulus package show off the comfort and versatility of alpaca fleece.

"We're confident that breeding alpacas will jump-start the economy and lift this nation out of debt once we get the start-up money," said McConnell, who insists the exotic livestock require very little maintenance and are of a gentler temperament than their cousin the llama. "All you need is a fertile male and a female in heat, and nature takes it course. Before you know it, the money is rolling in and there's alpacas everywhere."

What the Presidential hopefuls are saying:

Barack Obama

Will cut taxes, but occasionally hit up Oprah on behalf of treasury.

Hillary Clinton

"We need to create new jobs in this country—green collar jobs that can help our economy and our environment. And I'd like to point out that that's my term—'green collar' jobs. See, I can come up with exciting phrases."

John McCain

"Once we win this ideological war on radical Islamic extremism which will rage for thousands of years, then we will concentrate on the economy."

Ron Paul

Would get rid of the economy.

Thanks to The Onion!

Steroids?????....Mindy McCready??????.... and now:

The New York Daily News reported that Clemens had a relationship with the former wife of golfer John Daly, Paulette Dean Daly.

Citing several sources, the News said that Clemens made flight plans for Paulette Daly to watch him against the Angels.

Paulette Daly admitted that she knew Clemens.

"Yeah, I've known Roger quite a while and we are friends," Daly said.

But when asked if she'd ever been romantically involved with Clemens, Daly told the News, "You know what, I'm really uncomfortable talking about this. I'm just going to have to say, 'No comment.'

Ouch......I'd hate to be Mrs. Roger Clemens....Honey, get your rolling pin out...that boy needs to be hit!
