PAGE FOUR FUNNY GIRL DANCE!!

[John G.]

Margarita time.

[George]

I was planning on going into work for a couple of hours, but that hasn't happened. Instead, I've just been on FB.  The TAO board of directors has a private page and I needed to ketchup on certain things...and I "liked" a couple of public posts. 

[George]

Now, I need to take a shower and call my friend Andy.  He wrote the book to the musical version of "The Wind in the Willows" for which I ran the sound board last year.  He and the other writers of the show created a Kickstarter project to record the show!  It's done and I want to pick it up in person so that they won't have to pay to mail it to me...and so that I can get it today!  I was able to download the complete recording (that was a lower level gift included with my pledge level to get the physical CD) and they included a couple of scenes that had to be cut for the live show.

[George]

After that, I don't know what I'll do.  I'm all caught up on my TV watching.  I'll have to see what DVD/Blu-ray titles that I have that I might want to watch.

[George]

So, have a good day, all!

[George]

But before I go...Topic of the Day:

Songs: 
Most of them.  There are too many to pick even just a few (that's my story and I'm sticking to it )

Movies:
Funny Girl (this was just on TCM a couple of weeks ago)
Hello, Dolly!
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
What's Up, Doc?
Yentl

TOD, I'm not a big Barbra fan.  Not sure why I'm not, I'm just not.

I ran many errands this morning.  I wore my "Get A Cat " t-shirt to a dog adoption event, they didn't seem too impressed.  Then I went to a cat adoption event and they appreciated it a little more.  I went to Art in the Park, but didn't stay long because there were lots of bees.  I've been meaning to get to the grocery store, but can't seem to move from my recliner.   I'll get there eventually

[Cillaliz]

I should go for a walk.  My lower back has been hurting and it feels better when I walk.  It's a lovely day, I'm just enjoying sitting with the windows open and getting the fresh air

That's funny.

Margarita time.

I wish!

[Cillaliz]

I seriously thought about adopting a dog today, but I'm just not home enough. Tripod is just that a three legged dog.  He was so cute and so funny and so loving.  I don't know how he'd handle the many steps in my house and....well...I'm not going to adopt a dog.   Actually, the real reason I can't adopt another dog or cat is that at some point in the not too far off future, I'm likely  to have my parents' two cats added to my household.  Hopefully it won't be any time soon, but the cats are 3 years old and mom and dad are 85 and 86, so......

[Jane]

DR Priscilla, unless the building has restrictions you are the boss and can take a dog to work with you if you want

You could take a dog with you to visit your parents and get their cats used to the dog.

Margarita time.

Well, since it's a special day (DR Laura's birthday), I'll join you in that.     

[Jane]

Margarita time.

I wish!

So do I.

[Jane]

I'm ready for a nap, must be the cooler temps and the rain.

TOD, I'm not a big Barbra fan.  Not sure why I'm not, I'm just not. 

Neither am I

[Jane]

I am a big Streisand fan.

So many songs to choose from.  Currently SKYLARK is one of my favorites.

My all time favorite song is from her 1967 " A Christmas Album".  "The Best Gift" was a sweet little song that suddenly became special to me the year Bryan was born 2 days before Christmas.
The best gift
That I ever got
Didn't really weigh a lot
It didn't have a ribbon 'round
And it sometimes made the terrible sound
The best of all it seems to me
It wasn't neath the christmas tree
And yet, I guess I'd have to say
That it made all the other presents twice as gay
The best gift that I've ever known
I'd always wanted most to own
Yet in my dreams of sugar and spice
I never thought it could be so nice
The best gift that I ever get
Was sometimes dry and sometimes wet
Was usually pink but oftentimes red
As it lay so innocently in it's bed
The best gift of the year to me
The one I hold most dear to me
A gift that simply drove me wild
Was a tiny new born child.

I'm pretty sure this song was written for her son.

We included The Best Gift on Sandy's Xmas album last year.

Back from lunch with the Staitman clan - the girls wanted an Adriana Hofstetter experience, so we went to Astroburger - they loved it.

Prior to that I'd been to the local mattress store.  I tried out many mattresses, every single one of which, including the cheapest, was much more comfy than my ten-year-old thing.  So, I bought a new mattress and box spring - I figure if one only has to do this every ten years it's damn good value for money.  Best of all, they deliver today, sometime between five and nine.  The sales guy was very helpful.  In the end I narrowed it down to two, then just kept switching back and forth and finally decided on the slightly firmer mattress - the other was great but I felt like I was sinking into the bed and I knew that would drive me a little crazy.  I got a Beautyrest, top of their line and I'm guessing I will sleep much better. 

One funny thing - I thought my second choice was just a little too low and not nearly as high as my own current bed - the one I went with is higher.  When I got home I looked at my bed which isn't high at all compared to the new one.  I'd always thought it was so high - it's LOW.  There was some concern that these slightly higher beds need slightly bigger sheets (deep pockets, they call the fitted one), so just in case, I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and got some new sheets, so I'm covered and I always thought I should have two sets of sheets anyway.  So, I'll wash those as soon as the bed arrives and I'll have nice fresh sheets for sleep.  I think this was a very important thing to do.  It took over an hour to make the choice and if I end up not liking it, I can return and choose the other one.  It's also under warranty for fifteen years.  And they take the old mattress and box spring out of here, so that's good, too.  To top it off, they gave me free delivery and worked out a discount so that I basically wasn't paying tax.  And the Staitman mom had a coupon for the Bed, Bath and Beyond so I saved 20% on the sheets.

I also ran into Terry Trotter so we'll get together in a couple of weeks.

[Jane]

I'm cooking an artichoke.

Best of all, I went to the mail place and hallelujah the replacement credit card was there, along with one package.  I came right home and buckled down Winsocki and updated all my online auto pay accounts, so there will be no further e-mails about charges not going through other than the one single one I got.  The only one left is Public Storage and I'll do that in person.

[Jane]

Bruce you probably made the right choice with the slightly firmer mattress.  I've found the extra soft ones feel wonderful but then tend not to give enough support.

Did you go with a smaller box spring?  They make them less thick so the bed isn't as high once it is put together.

[elmore3003]

BK, the story is that Hans Christian Andersen broke his neck and died from falling out of bed. Don't let your mattresses get too high!

[bk]

I just went with what I saw - higher than my bed, but I kind of like the extra slight height.  Got the California King, which is what I've always had.
