And Now We Have Mono

Well, I don't have mono but my 17 year old princess does and she is just wiped out. She went in Thursday and they diagnosed her, Friday she went back and got a steroid shot because Friday night was the prom. Saturday she had to be on a float in the May Artrageous parade and the rest of the weekend was spent sleeping. So much for the last weeks of her senior year... she is down for the count and I can only hope she gets better soon.

Remember when I said I was mostly happy, I still am, but gosh I am tired of all the chaos!

A Bit of Friday Fun: Celebrity Sightings

Have you ever been close to or actually talked to a bonafied celebrity? Growing up in Orange County, California (before it was kind of cool and sparked TV and Movies) we didn't get the celebrity flow that they do now, but I have had my few close encounters with the celebrity kind. LobbyLu wanted us to share this with you:

1. Jerry Brown: I saw him when I was just a little kid at a rally for his dad.
2. Billy Barty: I had a thing for small people. Just thought they were the cutest things. Probably from years of watching Fantasy Island. Anyway, I was at some Mormon event and he was on stage and came down and talked to me. I remember NOTHING from the moment because I think I was a bit shocked to have been talking to him.
3. David Crosby: I followed him for 6 blocks in San Francisco. Not on purpose in a stalking kind of way, more like he was going the same direction that I was going.
4. Grizzly Adams: What was his real name... anyway I saw him at Disneyland. I turned to ask a lady next to me if that was him and she said it was but he didn't want to be talked to. Like I would have cared to talk to him. Geesh.
5. John Stamos, his band played at our school. He went to Cypress High School and I went to Western High School... I think we are the same age. He was a cutie.
6. Cindy Sheehan: She gave a talk and I talked with her prior to the event for quite sometime. She is an incredibly strong woman.
7. Well, while I was working at the Auditorium in Eureka Springs, Arkansas I met Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss, Keb Mo, and a host of other musicians. Nice people doing a job.

That is my little list of celebrity sightings. My husband sat on the same plane as 3 Dog Night, went to school with Blondee I think, Oh and I went to the same High School with Tiger Woods, but I didn't know him. Oh, and somehow I think I met Rebecca DeMornay... but that might not have been her. You would think I would keep better track of all of that. I guess celebrities are just people to me. If I could meet someone now it would be people like Ira Glass, Jimmy Carter, or Yoko Ono. They interest me, but I would want to have coffee and talk, not just get an autograph.
