About me: Not working at the moment, due to long term illness. Have started to do meaningful things, like my ECDL, and hope to do more in the future. Spend a lot of my time with my dogs and going to dog shows. Hopefully my new pup, Niamh, will be good enough for the show ring and I'll be in the ring myself rather than watching from the sidelines.
Like the Niamh pics... hope she's behavin' herself. I'm thinking our shopping days are running out.... I am extremely behind this year. Can you not get the live version of Tpau then????
I went to the Long Beach Grand Prix this weekend. Emily did GREAT!!! She placed 8th in the over all race.
Just for the record. Emily Procter DID NOT crash into George Lucas during the race. That was AnnaMarie Dean. AnnaMarie was in car #17, Emily was in car #18. I have pictures.
Hello hello hello I've just won the grand national. Much apprec. for Monday. In payment you will receive lunch out at a Pizza Hut buffet. Can u hardly wait? Some tuesday pm in a coupla weeks right.
I was trying to get a compliment off my son. I said - Who do you know that is beautiful? Which mums at the nursery are beautiful? Is "X" beautiful? Is "Y" beatiful? Is "Z" beautiful?
He said no- none of them were beautiful. I said, so who is beautiful (thinkin' "me") and after a while he screwed up his wee face with the effort of thinking and said "Alison" I said "Which Alison" and he said "Alyson - Our Alyson".
A friend sent me this and I thought I would share.
CSI: Miami star Emily Procter’s ’06 highlight has been playing Auntie Em. “A lot of my friends had babies. I’ve been on nighttime duty for the last couple of months. I’m tired,” she sighed “Not as tired as they are, but I’m pretty tired!” We don't blame her, especially considering her long days on the set and fitting in gigs with her ’80s cover band White Lighting in between. She’ll be even busier in ’07, producing and starring in—playing a double role, no less—an independent movie called Dollars. “It’s a country music noir movie. It’s about two sisters called the Dollarhydes,” she explains. “It’s about ambition and talent and lack of talent and greed and lack of greed. I play both sisters.” Procter will wisely rest up for the holidays, taking off for the tropics after a Christmas visit home to North Carolina. “On New Year’s Eve at midnight I’ll have on my bathing suit and will be sitting in the warm water,” she confided. “I don’t want to say where, for fear of people catching me in that moment!""
