Susan Boyle

Well, she's gone and done it again, moved me to tears and goosebumps. This time she sang "Memories" (from "Cats"). When she first started, the nerves were apparent, she even wavered in the first few lines, and wasn't really in her comfort zone. But...when she hit the words "every street lamp" she entered her zone, you could SEE it. And when she hit that high note...."touch me..." the goosebumps almost made me look like a prickly-pear cactus! I Love her!!! And I SO SO SO agree with what Piers said! And she showed some of her humor during Simon's comment *grin* She is a star! No question about it!
Now, I want to hear her sing "You raise me up" you know, the song that Josh Groban sings...(I love him, too, BTW...awesome young man!)

OK

Yeah, yeah, I know it has been awhile. But there's really been nothing *new* to talk about. It's not like you don't KNOW how much I miss Robbin and how hard I've been trying to get down there, why berate you with more of the same?
Well it looks like there might finally be some good news...seems a long-time friend of mine, a lady I've known online for years, lives right around the corner from where I need to be to be with Robbin. And she, kind soul that she is, has offered to let me stay with her and her brood (she has 6 children, 2 cats, a dog, and a husband. In no particular order.) while I home seek from there. The benefits are obvious for both of us, she gets a live-in babysitter with huge maternal instincts and who will pay a little gelt in her direction, and I get a place to stay close enough to be able to have weekends with my sweet son, and even dinner during the week (at least once), plus a place where I can use as command central to find a real home for Robbin and I, something that is darned hard from 1,100 miles away. Her hubby is planning on flying in at the beginning of June (dates/times/reservations yet to be cemented) getting a moving van and coming here, getting me, Razziecat and the pig (as in guinea) and hauling our a$$et$ down there. I *should* be there by the 5th or so of June. *heaves great big sigh of relief* Now, we ARE in Mercrograde, so I'm not saying anything for sure just yet, but it seems that I Will, if all goes well and the crick don' rise, be with my Robbin soon. Prayers please toward a smooth and easy move.
