Star Struck!

Ok, so maybe you know maybe you don't but a lot of famous people fly on Southwest. I think if they are flying on the studio's money they fly someone with a first class section but if they are flying on their own dime they want to save a few bucks just like everyone else. Plus we have good frequency and are on time mostly so it makes sense. I've had a lot of celebrities on my flights, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Paula Abdul, Smokey Robinson,David Spade,Joe Nichols,Courtney Gaines, these are just off the top of my head. I had a list going for awhile but not sure where it went. Anyway, most of the time I say hello and smile and go about my business. I mean they're just regular folks who do an irregular job and get paid a ridiculous amount of money for doing it. Whatever!!
Well today I made an exception to my rule. I am not a die hard, gotta watch every game kinda football fan. Heck I can't even tell ya who plays for what team any more. But there was a time... I grew up in AZ with no team and so when I moved to the Bay Area back in 1988 I watched the 49ers and got to know that team and Joe Montana and Jerry Rice! Wow talk about some talented guys! I brought my love for the Niner's with me when I moved back to AZ and years later met and married a guy from San Francisco who loved them as well.
Which brings me to today and the reason I broke my so called rule and asked the man if he'd mind having his picture taken with me. He was kind and gracious, not only to me but others on the flight who recognized him and asked for a picture or autograph as well. Plus he can move on the dance floor as well as the football field, who knew??


Me and Jerry Rice

The Hills Are Alive...

Last weekend "The Sound of Music" was on t.v. and even though we have it on DVD and can watch it anytime Katelyn's heart was broken since it was not over before bedtime came along. I had to promise we could watch it the very next day and so off to bed she went. Well, little miss "never forgets a thing"(gotta be careful with that!) was up way too early, ready to sit down to some serious t.v. watching. From the beginning. Twice. I absolutely love this movie, and like her will sit and watch it on tv every time, even though we own it and have seen it a million times. It's a long movie though for such a wee one to sit all the way through. Twice.
So that brings me to today, as I'm mopping away I hear her in the other room playing with her dolls..."I am 16 going on 17 la la la as a rose, mumble mumble mmmmmm those!" LOL!!!! over and over never getting any closer to the real words and not even caring! By the way, so not ready for 16 much less 17! aye yay yay =)
