NOW THESE NEXT BITS ARE MY KARAOKE "COVERS" OF VARIOUS TUNES ... AND IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED MYSPACE KARAOKE YET, WELL THEN WHAT THE "H" ARE YOU EVEN WAITING FOR?? IT'S FREEEEEEEEE FOR THE TAKIN' MATES - AND YOU JUST CAN'T GET MUCH CHEAPER THAN THAT!!
HERE'S MY IDEA OF A FABULOUSLY FUN NIGHT OUT @ THE DRIVE-IN... "STRAWBERRY HILL", ANYONE?? ;O)
SO, ANYHOOOOO ... WELCOME IN, EVERYONE, TO MY LITTLE SCROLLING RECTANGLE OF THE WORLD WHICH I LIKE TO CALL, "THE MAGICAL WORLD O' MYSPACE"!!! (FOR OBVIOUS REASONS ;O)
Now, completely appropos of absolutely nothing, which is typically the RULE rather than the exception, here's a neat lit'le gem my friend "Shaun of the Dead" sent me that I wanted to share with the rest of y'all... it's a segment from the Canadian "mockumentary" TRAILER PARK BOYS that I have tentatively titled COURT DATE, for lack of anything better. Catch a quick glance, if you want, it's quite oddly hysterical:
Now on to the actual subject of "INTERESTS", if you will.
Well, OF FREAKING COURSE I have INTERESTS - I most assuredly DO.
I mean...for example: in addition to the duly-noted though completely healthy obsession with family, friends and karaoke ... I am, as "some persons" might term it, really "into" myspace now, as well!
OK... OK... I ACTUALLY LOVE IT. (is that really so wrong? ;O)
And such persons (IF they exist) might also say - and I'm paraphrasing here:
"Well, I think maybe you've become just a little toooo "into" myspace! I mean, MY GOD, you're, like, ON there night and DAY ... I can't BELIEVE how MUCH you're on ... Don't you EVER DO anything ELSE??? ... DO you NEVER sleep??? ... OR EAT??? ... I'd
LOVE to have YOUR life ... It SURE must be NICE to have all that FREE time ... Do YOU DO anything at ALL??? ... I want YOUR schedule ... you WILL GIVE me your firstborn ... HEY, I really LOVE your HAIR! ... "
and so on . . . and so on . . . ad nauseam . . . ad infinitum . . . ;O)
MAAAAAAAN!! What is WRONG with everyone??? Can't a girl work on her page in PEACE without it becoming of such Great National Concern?
So to counter this obvious personal affrontage - at least against all but that one incongruous, yet rather lovely "hair" remark - what should I say? I'm leaning towards something succinct, along the lines of, oh, I don't know... "bite me", perhaps? I honestly don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, though, so I'll probably just try and say it with this really sweet and sincere smile on my face and all. :O)
HAHHAAAAA!!!
Believe it or not (RIPLEY'S would definitely be interested here) I do actually HAVE a "life" in addition to myspace - and I'm not even talking about our kids, or karaoke or any of my usual "hot topics" right now... *gasp*
To learn a bit more of my interests, let's begin here with:
AHHHHHHH, SPRINGTIME IN FLORIDA!!! Who doesn't look forward each year to when the weather finally turns nice and one can actually enjoy getting back outside again... just lounging deckside enjoying a few cocktails with friends, then capping it off with a refreshing dip in the pool. Or what about a romantic picnic-for-two with a leisurely barefoot stroll along the warm, sugar-soft sand beach to end that perfect day ... it's a virtual PARADISE down here all right. . .
. . . right up to, and UNTIL the abject hordes of gull-sized mosquitoes and teeming thick clouds of blood-sucking dog flies set in and suddenly! WHOOOOOSH! You're hauled, struggling, into that fearsome, final sunset - OR - sent flailing and screaming back to the supposed sanctuary of "inside" ... using every means at your disposal in a last-ditch frenzied attempt to keep THEM from coming in after you ...
* You know, funny story, but I had WONDERED when we moved down here why, the very first billboard we saw upon crossing the State Line, was a gargantuan advertisement for "RAID® BUG KILLER"...
... and then I found out! ;O)
Despite this though, I'm still in love with:
. . . my backyard birding pasttime, which I've been an avid fan of for YEARS - with a smidgen of some front yard gardening thrown in for fun. Though at times, I MUST admit, I like to just "go a little crazy" and mix it all up some - while keeping my finger on the trigger of an industrial-size can of OFF®, of course ... HAAAA!
I DECIDED TO PLANT ME A NEW LITTLE TREE ... PLEASE HELP ME TO KEEP HIM WATERED, WONTCHU? (PLUS YOU CAN GET ONE OF YOUR OWN - JUST FOR THE CLICKIN' ;O)
..
AND HERE'S HIS BIG BROTHER - MYYYY HOW HE HAS GROWN!!
Now to know me is to know that:
I ♥ VINTAGE EVERYTHING - mainly the 1940's thru the 60's eras - but, EVERYTHING - clothes, jewelry, handbags, sunglasses, kitchenware, home furnishings, lamps, linens, textiles, bedding, tablecloths, aprons, dishes, glassware, pottery, cookie jars, plasticware, artwork, RECORDS ... WOW, I guess you name it, I LOVE IT! So, more often than not, one will find me out trolling our local Thrift Shops for "just that ONE LAST" abso-fantabulosa find (or ten! ;O)
Heh-heh... FYI: My husband likes to term our place "crowded"... while I prefer the mondo-MUCH friendlier... "crowdtastic" - HAAA!!
But, shopping-wise, am I your typical "Mall Rat"? Ut, nuh? I quite frankly DESPISE mall-hopping in all but the most extreme, I mean - DIRE - emergency situations ie: Christmas & birthdays.
I DO, upon occasion, find it necessary to indulge in some online shopping, however. Um, A LOT. You see, you just CAN'T BEAT free 2-day shipping! So...
Can we all say: A-M-A-Z-O-N P-R-I-M-E ??
And NOW can we all join hands and say:
So, after all is said and done, I suppose my only remaining true hobby, as it were, would be:
SCRAMBLE™over on FACEBOOK!
It's this extremely FUN, fast-paced online word game, played against other ACTUAL, extremely LIVE people, and very much like everyone's favorite, BOGGLE™. And while I'm NO "Peggy Hill"... I guess I ain't too shabby, neither!
So come on over and play with me sometime, why not??
Ohhhhh, and one other teensy thing I almost forgot!
I was, quite recently, the vocal half of a short-lived duo almost named...
SAX & THE SINGLE GIRL
(mmmhmmm... I came up with that one - kinda catchy, huh? ;O)
. . . . that was, until, the WIFE of the sax player deemed the name "just entirely tooooo suggestive" and it was dropped like a broiling hot potato ... the name, the band, AND MEEEEEEEEEE!!
HUNH??? WTF?? OHHHHH my freaking gosh! What. A Moron.
Anyhoooooo! Silver lining, here....
If ANYONE out there is currently in search of a fabulously VERSATILE girl singer - well, I'm available, mate!
Just MySpace me ♥ ... ;O)
Music
For the record, (oooo, sorry) I seriously like most every school of musical expression - from blues to bluegrass, folk to funk, rock to reggae, pop to punk, and shag to - ah yesssss ... my fabulous SHOW TUUUNES! Heeheeeee. (FYI, I admit to not being a huMONgous fangirl o' your Country vernacular, but I don't rightly HATE it, neither ;O)

. . . Yep, rather fond of BOTH, actually ... teeheeee!

Television
Books
BOOKS??? I ADORE BOOKS!! The REAL ones. Ah, yes, you DO remember them, don't you? The kind you can actually hold in your hands, and turn the actual pages of, and then turn down the corner of an actual page to mark your place when you finally switch out the light ...? Yeah, those! I have soooo many favorites that I'll have to write about that another time, like, tomorrow, or perhaps even later.... whichever comes first. (But I'll give you ONE selection to start with until then, and that's the fabulous HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY by Douglas Adams... one of the funniest works ever penned - I promise you will LOVE it ~ (and if you don't, there's something seriously missing from your funny bone - perhaps calcium?)
and remember, mates, ALWAYS, ALWAYS know where your towel is, and above all, mates... DON'T PANIC!!! ;O)
Heroes
. . . I don't actually watch it, but if I had to pick one, I guess maybe the guy (far left) who goes back and forth in time... OH, and of course CHUCK NORRIS - I mean, my GOSH, who doesn't admire HIM?? ;O)

I'm the wife of a handsome and (obviously) highly intelligent guy, mother of two fabulous and successful grown sons, mother-in-law to our most beautiful and talented Miss Neeser-head, and GLAMÜ to our two grandsons - our sweet, funny, bright little 3 1/2 year-old, William, and his baby brother, our brand-spankin'-fresh, TA-DAAAAA ... L'IL ALEXANDER JAMES (aka "Tons O' Fun" ;O), age: 1 YEAR, NOW!!
(Though, in my mind, Ima still be calling him "Liam Evan Wallace"... 'cause that's how I roll ... ;O)
AN-N-N-N-N-D (DRRRRUM"ROLL")... HERE HE IS, IN HIS SECOND-EVER STARRING ROLE: ..."LITTLE 'GO GATORS' XANDU MANDU"!
AND CAN WE ALL SAY AWWWWWWWWW? ISN'T HE JUST THE CUTEST, THOUGH??
AND NOW.... BIG BRO, WILL, MAKING HIS FABULOUS MYSPACE MUSICAL DEBUT ON THE EVER-POPULAR TUBA!!
Don't even ask me what that little "first part" was suposed to be all about.... HAHAHAHHHHA!
Who I'd like to meet: Well, YOU - for a beer, natch!
And if YOU wouldn't mind too much, we'd probably let Miss Joni tag along with us ... then we could swing on by for Alanis too, while we're at it ... plus good ol' Jim Morrison, IF he "really" "isn't" "quite" "dead" "yet", and all.
Or if we can HAVE the dead ones, then NOSTRADAMUS would be quite the coup, I should think - I DO have this couple o' little niggling questions he could probably just no-problem clear right up for me over a beer or three, w'at? ;O)
Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit? CHEERS ON YA, MATES!!
Here's me! That's right ... just enjoying life to the absolute HILT in sun-drenched, FUN-drenched, abso fabulous-in-fuschia NW FLORIDA... come on in, the water's fine!
SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH SING-A-LONG - FROM THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY; FUN CITY!:
WOW! YOU SIMPLY MUST HAVE A LITTLE LOOKY-LOO AT THIS VID BY MY NEW CHUM, "THE SMOKIN UKULELE" ... ABBY MCFAB, INDEED!!
"All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff." ~ Frank Zappa
AND NOW THE MIND-BENDING ANTICS OF ME RIGHT MATES, MICK & DAVIE HERE:
Oh, hello, again! Did you happen to notice all those little banners and whatnot right up above here? Well, they're all totally clickable, dude/ette, and ≡45≡ ...and still counting... very coooool bands (plus ONE clothing store, frankly just 'cause I liked their banner ;O) that I personally think you will really dig, too... so DO check 'em all ooot! But DO also remember to come right straight on BACK here when you're finished!
And my PLAYLIST wayyy up there to the left? It's positively cram-jam-packed with all KINDS of tasty treats - heck, why not just take 'em all for a spin while you're here - I'm sure you'll find something you just have to LOVE!
And then lastly, but certainly not leastly, here are a few more of my KARAOKE VIDEOS for your perusal. Could you take a quick look/listen-see, d'ya think? ... I'd be ferever beholden to ya!! :D
OK, THEN ... SO HERE GOES NOTHIN':
(BELOW) Patsy Cline's ALWAYS - along with my "sincerest" apologies... neither the best lighting NOR the optimal sound quality... plus NO ONE would freaking stop talking!
Where in the heck did these people think they were anyway - a BAR or something??? HAHAHAAAHAA!!!
(BELOW) My "HALLOWEEN" Marilyn's - DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND - er, not only SHOT sideways (oopsy), but, uhhhh, I am quite possibly ... more or less ... "THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND" by this particular point in the evening (but who's counting, right? ;O)
We had a total BALL all night, of course - LIKE ALWAYS!
(BELOW) ... and AT LAST ... drum roll ... just for YOU, ... my *ahem* (in?)famous karaoke cover of Alanis Morissette's UNINVITED - as well as proof that I DO, upon occaision, actually wear JEANS!
- though, the camera did a rather "funhouse mirror" effect on me, which is FINE if you desire a shorter, chunkier look - which I, most assuredly, DO NOT... ARRRGGGHHH!!!!
But apart from that it's fine, perfectly fi-i-i-i-ne...
Dear God: The lady reading this is beautiful, classy and strong and I love her friendship. Help her live her life to the fullest. Please promote her and cause her to excel above her expectations.

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
~George Cooper, "October's Party"
