Okay. I REALLY need to set aside time each day to type in my blog :p~. Now i know why it's taking Anna so long to get her WebSite developed & done. I mean, it was easy to sit here for hours at a time when i had nothing to do but be home when i was on my tether. Now that I'm free, I have things to do. luckily tomorrow all i have to do is catch up a little bit at work & come home & wait for Kevin to call so i can go to pick him up at work. (which is usually around 9:30pm)

Well, last week was a GREAT week for me. First of all, we (me, my mom & Angie) went on Tuesday, Nov. 12th to Football 201 at Ford Field in Detroit. Can you believe it's our 4th year going there?? (angie's 3rd) This year was $15 more than it has been in previous years (Ford Field tax, I'm sure) & there were WAY less women there than last year. I think there were about 700 - 800 women a year ago. This time, I would say there were 200 - 300 TOPS. It was fun tho. Got some REALLY nice pics of Scotty Anderson (#88), Mike McMahon (#8) & Shaun Rogers (#92) and a pic of me & Jim Brandstetter that ideally I'd like to blow up to at least 5" x 7" & take next year to get him to sign it.

And on Thursday was when my mom IM'd me up & told me she heard about Leonard Nimoy being at some Jewish book fair in West Bloomfield. (which it ended up being at the reform temple of Shir Shalom instead).
Apparently his book is EXTREMELY controversial & the book fair booked him prior to seeing a copy of his photography. Once they did, they would have no part of it. Luckily Shir Shalom was willing to host the event. And there might only have been 300 people at the book signing.
Which was wonderful!!! It began with a slide presentation hosted by Leonard Nimoy which was mostly his photographs from Shekhina, but there were a couple from earlier in his career. Just hearing the stories that i knew by heart about him coming straight from his lips (i.e. how he came up with the live long and prosper sign for vulcans) was the most amazing thing i had ever experienced. I mean, seriously, he's a pop icon & a brilliant man with a great knack for storytelling. I was completely awed. AND we got not only a copy of his book signed there, but also a copy of the poster announcing the event. AND i got not only a picture of him, but a picture of me with him!!! i can't wait to get it developed. Actually I'm almost scared to take it in (since we use film cuz we don't have a digital camera yet). Terrified that it might not turn out perfect, ya know??

And then, to top off the week, yesterday (Sunday) we FINALLY had my b-day party at my mom's house (also a Lions Sunday . . . which they lost pathetically . . . and to the Jets no less. I'm never gonna hear the end of it from Kevin) And i got a couple of awesome gifts. Carol & Al bought me the Red Wings Pint glass to complete the Stanley Cup set they had bought me a couple of years ago . . . Kelly bought me a David Craig & a Shakira CD . . . but i think the BEST gift that day was Anna gave me a Starry Scorchio Plushie AND a Scorchio keychain from Limited Too!!! it was just a good week all-in-all.

Of course, Saturday was rather awful, but seeing how it's really close to sleepy-time, i have to share that story another time. Que Lastima!!! ;)
