Another this and that

 Since you asked, this is what I use to dry and style my hair



You can find it here.

I was so annoyed yesterday.  My Fitbit would not sync with the app on my phone.  When I finally got it to work, I lost a lot of data.  Grrrr….

I was supposed to meet with my accountant tomorrow to do my taxes (ugh) but he had to cancel because of a family emergency (ugh).

My daughters took me out for my birthday the other night.  I am so proud of those two young women!  Jen told me she’s finally found her career path in the court system.  Becca was all full of talk about the wedding.  It was a great evening.

I must have mentioned Michael DelGuidice when I wrote about the Billy Joel concert.  When he’s not playing in Billy’s band, he tours with a Billy Joel tribute band called Big Shot.  I saw him perform at a charity fundraiser a few years ago.  Michael gets a solo at every Billy Joel concert.  Just before Billy  sings “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant “, Michael sings a Puccini aria called “Nessun Dorma”.  Even if you’re not familiar with Italian opera, you’ll probably recognize this melody.

 

Beautiful, isn’t it?

Wish me luck.  If all goes well this week, I will have the opportunity to buy tickets to see Springsteen at MetLife Stadium. He’s doing two shows around Labor Day, and tickets go on sale Friday.  But only “verified fans” will have access to Ticketmaster.  I find out later today if I’m one of the lucky “verified fans”.  I would have preferred to see his show at the Garden; Drew tried to get tickets for one of those shows, but …

I am excited for the upcoming baseball season.  The Mets look good, and we will very likely get tickets to one or two games at Citi Field.  We’re also planning to see a few Long Island Ducks games.  It’s going to be fun.

You know I’m writing all of this to keep my mind off of what’s happening to Shadow.  She is at the vet right now.  She’s 6 months old, so it’s time to have her spayed.  I know it’s routine veterinary care, and that she will be a happier and healthier cat, so I am being a responsible pet mom.  But I am so upset that she will be in pain as she recovers, and I am worried that something will go wrong.  I need at little bit if “handholding” today, if you know what I mean.  Though I am sure she will be fine.  Right?

Sigh …

    Shadow will be fine. And this is necessary. You don't want to end up with kittens. Or a cat in heat. She'll be happier in the long run, too.

    I think I have seen brushes like that. There's a vague memory. Thanks for the link.

      She’s ok, I will pick her up later. But the mom in me worries, you know?

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
