Day 29 - List Ten People, Alive or Dead, You Would Invite to Dinner - Include the Dinner Menu

I literally avoided this entry yesterday because I am befuddled by it.  This one is a tricky, tricky one. I want a fun and interesting table - so there would be hilarity and interesting people to keep me entertained. So, here, let's try:


  1. Phil Keoghan - host of Amazing Race - he is so well traveled and so interesting.  I think he could bring some interesting stories to the table and he could raise that one eyebrow at Sheldon.
  2. Jim Parsons - the person who plays the character based on Ted - wanna see how the real compares with the character.
  3. Bill Engvall - he is hilarious!!!  I would have poster boards available for him.  "here's your sign"
  4. Red Skelton - just a funny guy from the past
  5. Lucille Ball - need a funny girl from the past, too - and I loved watching all of her television shows
  6. Henry Cho - I love him.  
  7. Rhianna - need someone to sing to me "Cheers to the Freakin' Weekend" - need an anthem
  8. Adele - need someone to sing a sad ballad to me - so when things get out of control, we can bring it down a notch
  9. VanGogh - because I want an abstract painting of the event
  10. Bill Gates - because I just want him to give me some cash when it's all done (I would accept Mark Zuckerburg, too - one billionaire is as good as another)

As for dinner - we are going buffet style and hanging out in the living room.  We will be eating sloppy joes, potato salad, veggie tray - - - for dessert - pie.

And just so you know - and I am sure you can already tell - I pulled most of this out of my a$$ - because I had absolutely no clue what else to do.  I am absolutely committed to finishing this challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Me!!

I turned 49 a year ago tomorrow.  I was all right with that.  I didn't really care.  But, about a couple of months after that, I realized that in less than a year I would be 50.  When my daughter turned 30, it really was a horrible feeling.  How could I have a 30-year-old daughter??  I am not old enough to have a 30-year-old daughter.  I also had to deal with my baby boy getting married last year - which made me feel like I really was getting older. I think it was after Crystal's birthday that I devised a plan.  I was going to take a couple of days off, I was going to get a hotel room - a hotel with a pool - and I was just going to hide out and ride it out.  I had it all figured out. Well, I decided that my kids might be a bit upset with me that I did this.  So, I went back to Plan B - I would do my usual and plan a "kids" birthday for me so that the entire family, including Zach and Chelsea, could have a good time.  I thought of going to Planet Play and setti

The Haunting

It's been a weird few days. I don't know what set me off. But, I've been thinking about Ted a lot. Mostly, I've been thinking about the night he died. And everything that happened that night. One of the girls I worked with lost her husband suddenly a couple of days ago. I'm not sure if that's what set me off - no, I'm pretty sure it is. So I've been going through old blog posts about our trips together. Looking at memories of our times together. We just had fun together and we just loved each other. Anyway, I've been reliving the night he died. Thinking about it pretty consistently. And the things that happened are truly haunting me. Like, how did he get where he was?? He and I had been sitting together and had literally just had an interaction. The interaction was, please sit back, you're blocking my view of the movie. And it was all done in hand gestures. But it was just so Ted. Completely and totally so Ted. Not even a few

First Date - - End of an Era!

It's no secret that Ted and I met on the internet. We jibbered and jabbered via Match.Com a few times and then he sent me his phone number. We won't go into details about what made me give him a call, other than I was in need of a boost. I gave him a call and he was "busy" for a bit working on his carbuerator (yes, I was shunned aside for a carbuerator) and he asked if he could call me back later. Well, he did call me later that night and we made arrangements to meet at Denny's on 3500 South and 2200 West the next afternoon. No, it wasn't a four-star restaurant, but it was a way for either of us to run or make excuses if things were not going well. We sat there for a few hours; I drank Diet Coke and Ted drank Iced Tea. We talked, mostly Ted talked, about stuff I had absolutely no clue about; I tease him a lot about everything he says pretty much floats above my head, because I have no idea what he is talking about. That was October 10, 2004. After a w
