Joyful Weekend and Random Thoughts
Happy SAturday,
I'm sitting at my computer ... catching up on lots of small pieces of business and then hopefully, will edit another couple of chapters in my book.
I'm choosing to work all day today. Here in NYC we're expecting some aftermath of the hurricane moving up the coast. It is dark and dreary and will probably storm all afternoon and evening. It's a great day to hang out at home.
I had a fabulous experience this week. I got to be an Over 50 model on the Today show on Wednesday morning. I just responded to an email, and voila ... I was selected as one of five. It was a blast.
The limo picked me up at home at 6:15 a.m.and took me to NBC. We didn't go on til after 10:30 ... but there were outfits to be tried on and picked and then make up and hair. What a wonderful makeover. I felt trendy, youthful and excited. We were treated very well, lavished with food and snacks and then a limo to take me back home.
If you want to see me ... I'm the second on this video: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/26526790#26526790
Anyhow, the best part was I wore this beautiful purple trench coat from Banana Republic. I think I'm going to beg them to donate it to me .... in exchange for posting my picture and that it's their coat. Wish me luck,
So, after feeling like a celebrity for 5 minutes on Wednesday, I returned to life as usual....
I lost most of that day, so am working today. It's fine. Tomorrow looks to be a beautiful day and I'm heading out of town for the day with a girlfriend.
My Summer is winding down. I'm beginning my traveling next week... off to San Francisco for 4 days, then home for a week, then to New Hampshire,Albany and Austin, TX... whew!
I'll check in here periodically as the mood hits and I have something to say.
Meanwhile, the campaigning continues, is escalating and getting nasty. I think I'll stop watching. I'll vote, I'll engage in conversation about it all, but I'll keep my thoughts to myself in public... I hate the arguments. And, I'm as opinionated as the next guy.
In summary ... we have two older guys on the tickets -- one for president and one for vice president. We have two young boomers on the ticket -- one for president and one for VP. And, we have a woman. It'll be really interesting. My only hope is that they continue to work on making this a better place to live for US .. the people and not just for their own agendas. We'll see.
Have a fabulous weekend. I'd love to hear from you about things you're interested in or want me to write about.
