Holy Batman!

Sheesh- I might regret posting this, but it's funny. Recently, two old friends from my childhood in Illinois and I have gotten in touch, Steve and Bob. Steve (on the left) was the manager of the local movie theater and I met him when I was 15. He introduced me to Woody Allen films, Fellini films, Monty Python, Comicon and Beatlemania. Thank God. Save from spending time my three fabulous friends, Tess, Mary and Nikki, it could get really boring in my small town. He was, and is, hilarious. Bob sent this picture to me today and I thought 'what the hell?" and then I remembered. Steve had a crazy 'Batman' party in HS and this is me trying to look glam at 18---and the second time I ever drank. I am drunk (uh obviously) from two Coors Lights. No joke. That's about all it took- and probably all it would take today, actually.But, you know what's funny? In a shitty pose, drunk and uncomfortable, I still am thinking, "wow I look so young". **Oh, and touching--I always gotta be touchin'--hahaha

BOZO THE CLOWN! Best Christmas Present!

Here's the story:
My friend Randy and I are looking at a catalogue that has all these toys from our childhood and more. It prompts comments like "wow, remember these?" or "I always wanted one of those!" and as I turned a page, I saw this big 1970's blow up Bozo the Clown that stopped me dead in my tracks. You see when I was 5 yrs old, I wanted this blow up Bozo sooooo bad. I asked Santa for it and he brought it- I awoke Christmas morning to it all blown up and waiting for me (alongside an identical Fred Flinstone version as well, which I also really wanted). I loved them, until, just two days later, my sweet little clown got popped! I was so sad. So, when I saw this in the catalogue, I had to tell him the story.
Well, months had passed and what did I open from him for Christmas? BOZO THE CLOWN! I mean, the thought, the memory and all, is just the sweetest funniest kindest thing. I did---I cried.
My favorite Christmas present.

SOTD Leo Sayer - You make me feel like dancing (1976)

I am going to try and post more just 'audio' for my songs in the future as I don't want this to become a you tube video blog, (but some just have to have the video) And boy oh boy, this video just HAD to be posted along with the audio. My girlfriend left me a message today and all the message was, was her singing this song to my voicemail. If you knew her, this wouldn't be surprising.

SOTD Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby

Hey- how's a come noone blogged our sexy little Eartha? Ironic that the little sexy kitten that sang the best Christmas song ever died on Christmas.
Bye Bye Eartha. Boo--she's gone. She was so AWESOME.

Christmas Poodle- Meet Aretha.

I got an amazing 'poodle purse' on Christmas Eve and one of the great sweet gift givers, Richard, and I named her Aretha. When asked "Trenny, are you REALLY going to carry that around?"
My answer- HELL YES! (and proudly I might add!)
****My BESTEST present to be blogged soon!***
I hope you all had a lovely, wonderful Christmas.

Love- the book- Leo Buscaglia

I got this book as a present in High School and still own the copy. Been thinking alot about the subject lately. It is not based on any type of love (ie- Romantic, familial, friends)- just the universal concept and feeling.

"Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life. "

"Each person lives love in his limited fashion and does not seem to relate the resultant confusion and lonliness to his or her lack of knowledge about love."
Leo Buscaglia

My nephew Jeff- no longer 'Jeffery'

My nephew Jeffrey-- well I guess now 'Jeff' is more suitable- is no longer a boy, but becoming a man-wow!
