OH YEAH!

a new 'LOST' is on tomorrow night JUST in case you hadn't heard...anyone read any spoilers??? Who read the possibly madeup messageboard over on ABC's website that gave away all kinds of juicy tidbits??? Anybody?
My friend checked it the other day and they took it down...I read ABOUT the message board over on MSN's 'Slate' site...alright...really, I'm outta here. Go get 'lost' tomorrow night...(lame send off, I know)....

hmmm...look at the dates...

Maybe I should play the lotto...my last post was on '02' and this one is '20'...doo doo doo doo...
Anywhos ~ how's everyone been? Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster lately. Thankfully nothing horrid - just the fall kicking off and me needing to get my act together! I'm trying to redo my apartment layout (aka - moving all my crap around!) finish details for sis's weekend wedding (oh, yeah, that would be THIS weekend!) and get my business (hee hee hee - that just sounds funny) off the ground...plus, look for a new jobbiejob seeing as 'my business' will take some time and $$$ before I'm rolling in $$$$ (ok, that is just plain ol' hilarious).
I feel as though I'm not making tons of sense here so I'm keeping it short. I'll blog post-wedding, of course. I'll give you all the blissful details...I chose the caterer so I can't wait to see how this all comes together!
Check back soon, blogfriends...have a great week!

You'd cry too...

Just finished watching the NBC 'Concert for Hurricane Relief'...then 'Dateline' show to follow. I will refrain from commenting on Kayne West's commentary (it must have been PRETTY tense on that set after his speech - he wasn't around for the final number, I'm sure he was calling his business manager tossing those numbers around...) and I still can't get my mind around what is going on. I would have mentioned it in the earlier post from today but every time I truly stop and think about the devastation down along the Gulf coast, I can't help but cry.
It's more than the material destruction, obviously. The emotion is somewhat familar...on 9/11 there were those times when my thoughts about the pain and hurt people must have been feeling - those thought just suspended in midair...how do you go on? When I see people walking down a highway that's practically deserted...trying to get out of New Orleans...my thoughts almost tangibly enter the air about me and hang there...WHAT are these people going to do?
Yes, I pray...pray that those babies are finally getting the water they need - let alone the nutrition, clean diapers, to be with their whole family. My prayer is for each family ...families torn apart by Katrina and her aftermath, families still seeking...
My family sat around watching the concert tonight...then I heard it. My dad gasped at one particular shot of how completely wiped out Gulfport is and then it happened...he started to cry. Believe me, seeing my wonderful father well up and letting the tears roll down his cheeks; you'd cry, too.

***We are keeping you in our prayers, all those trying to cope with the impact of Katrina - we won't forget you either***

No, it's not...it can't be

SEPTEMBER 2nd? Friday, no less? This week has been such a blur...I've barely been able to read my fav blogs this week, let alone comment on them! At work it's THE season for tenants moving out, moving in, moving all about...I feel a song coming on that I will repress.
Then I've got my sister's wedding fast approaching, my niece asked me to help with hers - go HERE and get a load of where she's getting hitched in June (anyone wanna come with me as my date?) and our Sunday School season is about to kick off at church. I've 'signed up' as our church's children's ministry director for this year to help give a little more structure to their already great ministry and I need to put some real work into it...this summer was wonderful but September's here and it's time to get down to business! :)
I'm leaving work early today (yippee!) to head to Maine once again. **in no way was that a complaint! I'm so excited to head up there again...not only to 'be home' but to throw my sister a miniBridal shower on Sunday. She has no idea, thinks we're just having brunch with her future mother & sister-in-laws to 'get to know them'...it should be very, very fun!
I'll leave you with a quick story about said MIL - R, my sister's fiance, has 'warned us' about his mom. "She's a little odd," was one thing he'd mentioned...he'd go on at other times about how she says ANYTHING that comes to mind - don't you love those people in your life that seemingly don't posess what I like to call 'The Tact Filter'?
Anywho...my sister is meeting her future MIL for the first time and things go fairly well - the MIL says some disparaging things about one of my aunts but my sis lets it roll...they're about to leave when the MIL leans over and asks my sister if she likes this certain Irish singer (can't remember his name right now - he's on PBS all the time). MIL hands my sister a CD of his and SAYS TO HER, "Maybe R will make love to you if you play this CD."
Oh joy. I really don't know what to say about that. Yikes.
I could be SO cheesy here and ask what you like playing when you....but,ah, NO.
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend and I'll be back next week to blog about Maine weekend bliss. :)
