The other night I couldn’t sleep and so I went downstairs and watched TV. You wouldn’t believe what show was broadcasting around 2:00am– THUNDERBIRDS (are GO!). I excitedly told Lisa and Audra about catching an episode and they looked at me like I was insane, neither had a memory of this show!?! I tried to explain, “Marionette puppets in a 1960’s type of future… they jetted around the world…” They think I am insane. Does anyone else remember watching this show? Maybe I am the only one.
I got a haircut yesterday. It’s not short but it is shorter than how I’ve been wearing it. I love long hair but I find that the long hair I want (Cher circa 1974) is unattainable and mainly the reason is I don’t have a live-in hairdresser. So I cut it. There is another reason for the cut. I needed to cut out a couple of situations that have occurred in my life over the past few days and there is nothing more therapeutic than taking it out in one’s hair. Back in college when my old roommate suddenly turned against me, I coped by cutting off my elbow grazing hair to my ear. Memories! 🙂
I got my taxes done and mailed in, just in time. Yesterday I baked a chocolate cake. I bought two more Ikea CD towers and have filled them up quickly. My room is slowly taking shape. The junk is being purged. I am still waiting on the raise my company promised me back in January. I intend to stay positive. Remind me of this statement when I start going insane in about a week. What else? nothing.

Donna, Tony, and Audra
Tony really liked Audra!

In the lobby, before the show… before meeting TONY!

I was so excited, I forgot to mention on the previous entry, LARRY STORCH from F-Troop fame was also in the show. We weren’t able to meet him…. mainly because we were on a Tony Curtis HIGH!

Goody Goody Gumdrops…..My heart is turning Flip Flops!

Audra and I met TONY CURTIS today!!!!
I took off work and we went to see the musical Some Like it Hot! After the show, we waited by the stage door until he emerged. Tony immediately spied us gawking and said, “My dears!” He grabbed my hand and kissed it! Tony then put his arms around us and a nice woman took our picture! It was only later that Audra told me Tony squeezed her heiny too! After the picture, Tony gave us personalized autographs*. It was thrilling and wonderful!! We walked out of the theater on a cloud of air! Scans are coming of this incredible day so everyone can share our “I’ll never wash this cheek again!” moment. Of course, I am sure there are people reading this who are incredulously thinking, “But Donna, HE’S 80 YEARS OLD!” All I can say is: Nobody’s perfect!

*I am not an autograph hound. I don’t put value in a celebrity’s signature, but it was Tony Curtis and it helped elongate our brush with him.

P.S. I think my email problem is fixed

Am back. Had a real nice weekend. Drank too much and I can feel the remnants of the alcohol coursing through my body. Last night I awoke at 3 with the nastiest headache ever. After downing a couple glasses of water, I fell back to sleep and dreamt of bald, naked twins; paste-y skinned and flabby, running a marathon while onlookers shot bullets at them.
So it is official– I have been single for an entire year! One year down, 60 more to go! 😉 At the time, I had no clue what was going to happen. According to movies, a dumped woman will don a ratty bathrobe, eat tons of ice cream, and cry while her best friends gather around, assuring her all will be okay. Instead, I wept softly for about 5 minutes, took a long walk, made a list (I am an INTP) and got on with my life. Okay, I also listened to Dolly Parton sing Hard Candy Christmas a couple dozen times. And that was it. Not bad, quite easy in fact. And now a year has gone by and I find myself looking back and feeling…. good.
