Optimistically Speaking: Three Tragedies This Week

When Brian Williams announced that "The King of Pop died today", I got chills all over. I first heard about the news via twitter, so I wasn't really sure what to believe. Called my mom and grandma, who asked the hair stylist they were with, and sure enough, she said he had passed away. Also, I was unaware of Farah Faucett's death as well. It's just so crazy. Then, Jason at the health food store was chatting with all of us about it. I mentioned Ed McMahon, and he said that that's what old people do. I guess he's right, but he's someone I really look up to . Johnny's sidekick, I mean, come on, that's pretty awesome. Conan and Jimmy both did little tributes for Ed on their shows, I believe on Monday.

I was unable to catch any of the clips of Michael Jackson today. I guarantee you if I ever had the opportunity to see him perform, I would be like all those screaming girls who pass out and were taken away on gurneys. He was crazy awesome, and I have nothing but respect and gratitude to give to him and his family. I'll always keep that best of MJ cd close at hand. Along with my Johnny Carson dvds!

I'm not the most emotional of people, as I'm sure you know, so let's skip talking more on death and move on to some relaxation chatter. This morning I got up and had a delightful breakfast of agave toast, a yummy peach, and a tall cool chocolate silk.

Oh, while dining on the deck, I finally finished reading the eleventh lemony snicket book. Only two more to go. Kinda sad though, that was like what, eight years of my life. Other book reports and such kinda got in the way, don't judge.

Back to the spa. Got a nice back massage, a pedicure, and a manicure. Tipped in purple, kinda different, but it looks nice. I had quite a giggle fest when the lady buffed my feet though. So did Laura.

My car like went up in smoke today as I was getting off at Festus to meet grandma, pretty scary, smelled like fire. LOL also on the highway, I noticed that this green Kia suv looked a lot like the one my aunt used to own, before she sold it to Zach. Sure enough, caught up and who's behind the wheel other than our own Zachary. I was honking and waving, nothing. After like four times speeding and slowing down past him, I finally got his attention. Pure confusion for about 8 seconds, then a kind smile and an enthusiastic wave.

Geez...you should see my sister. She had a game today, and apparently she got mad and threw her helmet against the fence. Well, it bounced back and the metal mask hit her above her eye. There's a huge gash, and we thought she might need stitches, but she's freaking out and doesn't want to go to the hospital. She also doesn't want there to be a scar, so she's pretty upset actually. It was disgusting to look at, and hard to keep a straight face. Especially lying about how it's not gonna leave that big of a scar.

Gotta wake up in the morning to deliver ads for sybergs again. Lovely time at the park wednesday, we'll see what adventures we get into tomorrow.

I'll leave you with this awesome video of Jason and Billy playing two truths and a lie, which had me crying from laughing so hard.
