Late Holiday Blog - Young Celebrity

Ok, I'm guilty of not posting this blog on December 16, 2009, but, I just had to share this moment. This was the day of my 3-year olds holiday debut---her rendition of Jingle Bells in front of a studio audience.

While it was suppose to be her and the entire 3 year old class that sung an angelic version of Jingle Bells in G major, my resilient 3-year old was the loudest singer. As she stared each audience member in the eyes, and yelled, in a sweet melodic voice that only a mother could appreciate, "In a one horse open sleigh, HEY, jingle bells jingle bells........". I was so proud of she (baby talk). While most of the other 3 year olds wiped their snotty noses with their sleeves, cried for their mommy, or just fidgeted with their fingers in their noses-----my baby girl was born for Broadway.......watch out Raven Simone & KeKe Palmer, Faith Richardson is Disney bound!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention.....see the bells that she holds in her hand? She rang those loud and proud as she sung her song. OMG, she can multitask with her talents too! Now, tell me a major motion picture is not in my baby girls future :-).

Cheers!

It's always to nice to retire my evening with a glass of wine, what I like to call a "tidy toast". Why use the word "tidy" to describe this time of the day? Because it is only enjoyable when my thoughts are clear, my daily to do list is complete, and my house and family are in order. Then, I can lift my glass to acknowledge all I've accomplished in the past 16-18 hours, and be thankful that I can have another "tidy toast". Sips 1, 2 and 3 that I take from my wine glass have significant meanings----they are to life, love and the lady; the remaining sips are to lush, forget about it.

The first sip is for the blessings I call my "life"--two lovely daugthers, an awesome husband (whose a great dad, lover and friend), healthy parents (that love and adore the company of their grandkids), and friends (who like having me around).

The second sip is for "love"--embracing those who love me despite their faults, and giving to those that have given so much to me.

The third sip is for maintaining my "lady" status throughout the day even when the "catty" chic has tested my patience.

All other sips are for the intoxication---just a little something to make evening EXCITING!!!!!!
