It's Been Crazy

In the last week...

~ Dad was in the hospital...he fell as a result of a super low blood count.

~ I got to meet one of my favorite Indie Authors, Heather Wardell

~ Reaffirmed my belief that raspberry Godiva bars are one of the things that make life worth living.

~ Totally starting crushing on this guy

The Hunks Have Arrived

Since Hump Day was such a crazy day, what with dad deciding he missed his friends at Mon Valley Hospital

So without further adieu...have some hunks

This is Keith Harkin, my sexy Celtic Thunder guy

Cat Thursday

Time for some silly cats!

A Passion For Music Again

I can't believe Celtic Thunder got my music mojo back.

Having watched the special for Heritage, I really just fell in love with these guys. I had a small affair with them a few years back when I watched a Christmas special...and then saw that they covered Nights In White Satin.

But what really brought music back into my heart...was Keith Harkin's solo album. The little blonde, Justin Hayward look a like.

~ le sigh

I think he might be better looking than Jus...perish the thought.

But lordy...he plays guitar like Jus....they dress him like Jus...and he has Justin's little teeny tiny tushie too.

~ big sigh~

Tis a shame he's 27...and I feel like a cougar just for lusting over his hot little self.

But as proof that he's more than just a pretty face...or maybe....because he has a very pretty face...

The song...that caused me to spend $20 on a CD...when I haven't bought the most recent Elvis Costello disc.



I plan on reviewing the album when I can do it without fangirlling too much.

The Story Of My Life

When things on Tumblr start making sense....or at least start making you go...yup...that's me...

I Spent My Day Fangirlling

I've been fangirlling way to much lately.

First Benedict Cumberbatch.....

I think he has spoiled me for all "real" men.....Not that any real men have any interest in me...or I in them.

Then my mother had to turn on PBS. The station was airing a Celtic Thunder special.

First...I'm still upset about the death of George Donaldson....he was so talented and so fun.

But then they showed this clip



For the love of God! Keith Harkin has to be Justin Hayward's son! I don't care who he thinks his daddy is! He even plays guitar like Justin!

Then there's this song....which I now have stuck in my head....



Just an FYI I think my ovaries exploded tonight....

Cat Thursday

Time for a kitty cat fix!

Hump Day Hotties!

Time for some hunks!

A Very Expensive Casserole

Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day..and I always make a corned beef recipe....

Here is my rather pricey Reuben Casserole Recipe

1 can 27 oz sauerkraut drained
1 lb chipped corned beef
1 stick of butter melted
1 package 12 oz swiss cheese slices
8 oz of Thousand Island dressing
12 slices of rye bread (I like marbled rye) cut into 1 inch cubes

350 degree oven

In a 9 x 13 pan, layer kraut, corned beef, dressing then cheese.

Place bread cubes in a bowl and pour the melted butter over them and toss to coat, then layer over the cheese and press them down.

Bake for 30 - 35 minutes

Bitch & Moan

Allow me to rant about my week.

~ The car cost me another $450 bucks. I swear, I am never taking it back to the dealer again. They broke it, though I can't prove they did something to the wiring..and they never replace the axel seal on the transmission the first time it was in the shop. So yeah, in the last 2 weeks, my car took my whole tax refund.

Fuck you car!

~ I've been napping way too much. I tend to fall asleep right after whatever show is on at 8 pm...and I promptly or am forcibly awakened around 10:30 or 11. I think I need to start exercising again, so I can have some alert time.


~ I can barely concentrate on reading lately. It's mid-March and I've only read 30 books. That's 10 a month! That is so not me!

~ Joined Tumblr and I'm not sure why, except maybe for the Sherlock/Benedict Cumberbatch stuff.

~ Discovered that Phillip Glennister (Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes) and Catherine Tate were in a show together...now much see it!!!

Cat Thursday

It's Cat Thursday again! Woot!
