Truth Is: Little Malachy, the darling, wobbly Pekingese, won Best In Show at Westminster this week. This was his 115th best in show title. He’s such a precious little peanut!

Truth Is: Me: “Just once, I’d like to be a dog handler at Westminster.”
Mom: “You’d be great. Animals love you. But—”
Me: “But what?”
Mom: “Well, you’d look lovely out there…until you trip and face-plant on the carpet in front of the judge.”
Me: “Great. Thanks.”
Mom laughs. I sulk…then laugh at the mental imagery.
Truth Is: The weather is seriously screwing with my sinuses. Can Mother Nature kindly make up her mind on what season this is?
Truth Is: Mom never ceases to amaze me with some of her out-of-the-blue sayings. The other day, in the middle of conversation, she blurts out, “Oh, holy Jiminy Crickets, I forgot to make my Jell-O.” Holy Jiminy Crickets?! She has never said that a day in her life! LOL
Truth Is: My Mavs are on a roll!!!!!!! Whoop! Whoop! Love watching them play!
Truth Is: NASCAR. Budweiser Shootout. Saturday night. I’m so there. Let’s go 88—rip it up.
Truth Is: Last weekend, music lost a legend. Whitney Houston’s voice was a once in a lifetime phenomenon. I’ll never forget the time my mom, dad, and I went to see her live in concert. She still had that powerhouse voice and put on quite a show, singing all her classics. I even remember our section winning the “shoop-shoop” contest. It was a great night with my family, watching a musical icon.
She personified talent--no gimmicks, no publicity stunts...just one massively powerful voice.
Though Whitney’s gone, her music will live on. I hope she has found peace.
I remember watching this performance live on MTV with my mom—it was probably my favorite LIVE performance she gave (apart from the National Anthem). If you haven’t seen it, take a listen when you have a second, and remember her for her God-given talent. Peace to you, Whitney.
Whitney Houston, Why Does It Hurt So Bad
Ny sinuses are acting up, too! I coughed so much last night, I couldn't talk this morning. I went to my doctor and she loaded me up with drugs that should fix me!
ReplyDeleteI envy people who don't have to fight sinuses. lol I hope the doc fixes those sinuses right up for you! :)
DeleteAwww sweets...I'm sure you wouldn't fall on your face and if you did I'm sure I wouldn't laugh...much. Hugs
ReplyDeleteLOL--much. lol Aw, who am I kidding? I'd probably peel myself off the green carpet, laughing my fool head off. lol
DeleteI am so gonna have to stop in here and let you know when I finally get Tony's V-day gift back from the framers. Yes, it's #48 but you'll love it. :)
ReplyDeleteI was in a mail house the other day and royally screwed up. I stopped and said LOUDLY "Awe Shhhhhugar!!!!"
The 80 year old women there just laughed at my "Mom censor".
:)
OOOOOOH! I'd LOVE to see it! :)
DeleteLOL--Mom censor! That's adorable. :)
I'm with Jewels. Besides, we would tell you that you fell so gracefully.
ReplyDelete"Holy Jiminy Cricket"? hahahahaha! Your mom is awesome with the stuff that comes out of her mouth. Seriously.
LOL--Falling gracefully...I'm not sure I've ever done that. lol
DeleteLOL--I know! I laughed so much when she said that!
it is a small Truth Is Thursday list today...LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the sinus stuff. we forfget how wonderful breathing is until stuff like that happens.
cute dog.
Oh, yeah, we totally take advantage of those little things, like an open nose and non-watery eyes. lol
DeleteI just loved that little puppy! So happy he won. They were all gorgeous dogs--I don't envy the judge's job of picking.
Cute, cute dog! Ugh! I'm with you on the sinus crap! I swear, I've been sickly all month!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, sinuses, headaches, general blah. I'm blaming Mother Nature--she cannot make up her mind this year. lol
DeleteOur weather is so weird that my fall allergies never went away. Now I don't know if I still have fall allergies or if my spring allergies have started. I like your comments about Whitney. I wasn't a huge fan of hers, but I bet seeing her in concert was amazing. I feel so sorry for her daughter. It's terrible when bad things happen to any of us, but having the entire world watching must be unbearable.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
That's actually a REALLY good way of putting it--it really does seem like the fall allergies never went away!
DeleteThe concert was amazing, and I'm really glad we had the chance to see her. Oh, I feel awful for her daughter. I so hope she will be okay. People always talk about how lucky those in the spotlight are, but what I think a lot of people forget is just how bright that spotlight can be.
I love it when people come up with their own little expressions of exasperation rather than resorting to the familiar four letter words.
ReplyDeleteYour weather is weird too? We haven't had a winter really to speak of and that is very strange for this part of Canada.
I was never a fan of Whitney but I can't deny her talent. Her voice was instantly recognizable.
My mom's mom-isms never fail to amaze me. lol
DeleteOh, yeah. The weather is insane!
It really was. Like Mariah Carey (one of my very, very, very favorite singers), Whitney had a voice you just knew the second you heard it. :(
Oh you don't really want to run with the dogs......have you seen the ugly shoes those women wear!!! Whitney was so talented.
ReplyDeleteI was kinda hoping I could infuse a little fashion sense if I ran with the dogs at the doggy show...because, yeah, the shoes they were are way ugly.
DeleteShe really was--amazing voice. :(
