My Day, Friday~Disco Balls, The Amish, and Diane Keaton~

Well, now, who'd of thunk it?

I am back for three weeks in a row for my

"My day, Friday" post.

I think I just set my own record and all of you are here as witnesses.

Hooray-Hooray!


So let's get started with this week.

So we went to the circus and I didn't run away with them.

Aren't you so proud of me?

I always felt there was a showgirl/trapeze artist inside of me just dying to get out.

I mean, seriously, the glitter, the flickering lights, the disco balls, the flashy boas and leotards.

Let's just say that my kids & husband are quite happy that I chose them, because they know how I can be swept away in the moment of a travelling "look alike" city, such as Las Vegas, with trashy high heels and glittering headpieces with feathers attached, of course.

My new idol in life is this chick named Angela.

Solid muscle.

Wow!

Just look at how high up in the air she is and not even a mat or net to land on.

She was spectacular!

The elephants were cute, yet, made me sad, especially because elephants aren't supposed to sit on big metal stools wear costumes, or perform. I am pretty sure that they don't do this in........well.......Africa.

......and one purple-haired clown........

Well, our fat outside security cat, Mario Pugh, puked outside on my kitchen porch, again.

Do you see him there? He's spying at me through the porch railing.

I don't really think he give two cents that I had to clean up after him this morning.

He's a very narcissistic feline.

This has been 2 weeks in a row that I have blogged about our cat.

Just in case you might be wondering.......

Yes, I do have friends, and in normal conversations, I very rarely mention the cat............. so why must I blog about him like I do?

I like watching a couple of the school teachers, that teach at our little country school, walk or ride their bikes to school in the mornings.

It starts my day out right, especially, when it's that early in the morning and seeing them makes me that happy.

There's just something good that comes from people that can walk or ride bicycles to work.

It all goes back to being rooted in your community.

I like roots.

Speaking of roots........

When we went to the Pumpkin Patch in (Arthur, Illinois) a couple of weeks ago I just had to take these pics of the Amish people even though I don't think I am supposed too.

I can't NOT take them.

The Amish FOREVER fascinate me.

Family, roots, religion, country life, simplicity, nature, communal living and generations of teachers constantly teaching.

What's not to be of interest in this community?

So Diane Keaton is making the rounds on morning talks shows and television in general with the promotion of her book of memoirs or should I say a combination of her mothers whole life documented in diaries with Diane's spin on it.

I just love her.

I first loved her in the movie "Baby Boom."

It made me want to be a business woman in a business where it was my passion.

Then, of course, her all time best movie ever with Jack Nicholson-

"Somethings gotta give"

So while listening to all of her interviews I found out that this was her favorite movie of all time, too!

I think I'd like to be friends with her.

Maybe I'll just buy her book instead........it seems like a more realistic thought.

So Regis is is leaving......

I am very sad that Regis Philbin with be leaving today.

I just really don't like change and I think that's mainly why this has made me sad about him leaving.

Yes, it's going to change my mornings, because I wont hear his voice anymore at 9 am every single day, but as long as I have the teachers walking or riding their bikes to school, then I should be able to get through this huge transition in my world.

If you only had my problems.......

Enjoy your weekend!

Toodle-loo
