The Grammy's According to Me

Being the old goat, grey haired, not a spring chicken anymore woman, I found myself watching the Grammy's this evening. Much to my surprise, I was entertained. Let me confess to you that my main focus this evening was to watch Desperate Housewives, so my husband hijacked the remote and channel surfed during commercials. Luckily, my trusty ole Tivo recorded the show for my full viewing pleasure sometime on Monday.
First, I was impressed with the courage and strength of Jennifer Hudson. No one could have endured her pain and suffering regarding her recent tragedy. As she proclaimed, faith and God guided her.
Secondly, and rather conversely, there was Kid Rock. Singing a melody of three songs off his latest release (and I knew them all)! What does that man have that attracts women of all ages? Is it that bad boy image?
Next memorable moment was Smokey Robinson and the Temptations with Jamie Fox and someone I don't know. OK, there...I am not hip! The Temptations have always been a favorite of mine and to hear them tonight, well, took me right back to my teens and twenties.
If Lady Antebellum played, I missed it. I am hoping that they did play their hit song "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" and I will be able to catch it later. If they didn't win a Grammy, I think they were robbed, truly. I love their combination of voices, harmony and just plain good looks.
Looking forward to listening to some great music, I'll enjoy watching the show at my pace, fast forwarding through the commercials and the artists I have no idea who they are, and just taking a moment to chill. It'll be "boss"!

I watched the red carpet pre-Grammy show (to get a better look at the various attire) and one hour of the Grammy's before switching to Desparate Housewives. I caught Kid Rock's medley and actually enjoyed it. You're right about Jennifer Hudson. I admire her greatly - her win over the more popular Al Green was well deserved. Although her appearance at the Super Bowl was pre-recorded, her voice sent shivers down my arms. Some artists I knew, others I didn't. I liked the duet with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift - they are too cute for words!

I had it on in the background. I miss the good old days with real music like U2, Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. I am so stinkin' old. Gah.

I didn't watch. Even with a program I wouldn't have known the players! You're braver than me!

I did not watch, mostly because the music I love doesn't usually rate getting awards, which of course I don't understand! I took a hot, fragrant, bubbly bath. It was luscious!

I agree with your Jennifer Hudson comment! Could you imagine going throug that?!

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would

Tyler Florence Made Me Breakfast!

Image
Yes, it is true!  Tyler Florence from Food Network made me blueberry pancakes, maple sugar pepper bacon and caramelized bananas.  How did this happen, you say?  In short, my children gave me tickets to The Metropolitan Cooking Show in Atlanta as a birthday present.  Being a diehard Tyler Florence fanatic, I opted for the special show to gaze upon my favorite celebrity chef.  Not being a shy gal, I ran up to the mike to ask my very probing question.  “What is the secret of making risotto?” Here I am on the big screen asking my question to Tyler Florence. My question monopolized a good portion of the Q & A time.  Sorry, Tyler.  But I just had to know! As Tyler began to plate up his creation, he called to me over the loud speaker! Yes, me.  He called ME!  Running up to the stage, he handed me this wonderful plate and wished me a very happy birthday.  Sorry for the blurry photo, but we were shooting without the flash.  My daughter learned that a steady hand is most importa
