Talk Derby to Me!!! Let the games begin!! The Derby festivities have begun and although we’re just getting started, the city is sprucing up and ready to roll!! We are ready to welcome thousands of racing fans to a city that loves this time of year! Tomorrow, there will be a balloon glow in anticipation of the hot air balloon race on Saturday morning. There will be two glow events and a rush-hour race on Friday morning before the big race on Saturday morning. I’ve said for years that one of these days, I will book a hotel room and take in as many of the official activities as I can. I’ll need to save up for awhile as it could be expensive but there is so much to see and do and I’d love to try to be like a tourist! This year, I’ll be at Opening Night in the Churchill Downs Turf Club. I am excited to be there for the first night of the 150 th Derby season. On Saturday night, there will be fancy clothes and a fascinator or hat for everyone! I purchased this package as an auc...

Staying Busy…it’s my Jam! As I type this tonight, I realize that I did not have a blogpost last Wednesday…so much for jumping back in!! This time, I am going to use a couple of excuses, things that have gotten in the way. I can’t feel guilty though because sometimes, it just happens. I had a lovely weekend with my daughter, collecting on my Christmas present, which was a weekend at the Louisville Marriott, a Broadway show, and a Drag Brunch. We also enjoyed a long nap and lots of mother/daughter talk and laughs. My buddy Gabriel sent a couple of videos letting his Mom know that he missed her and that he was being good and kind. I decided to send him a video and he responded right away to Katie with these words, “Ummm, Mom, hi. I wanted you to know that those videos I sent were for you, not CeCe. Oh well, I guess I sent too many videos.” Now, I don’t have to tell you that once we stopped laughing, I was highly insulted. I thought I was over it but once I returned home, it wa...
I’M BACK…AGAIN! I had this ready to go a couple of weeks ago, trying to get back into my normal Wednesday blogpost, but for some reason, the evening got away from me and my good intentions to get back to “work” on my blog, just went out the window. Let it be known, I’m back. This post will address the “Where have you been?” “Are you okay?” and “I miss you!” comments I have received from some of my beloved followers. My last post was at Christmas time over three months ago. I am so sorry! To say I’m not sure what went wrong would be the truth on some levels but on some levels, I’m pretty sure that it was just a time of being in a FUNK … F ully U nder the spell of N egativity and K erffluffing (causing confusion & disorder)! Yep, I was in a funk. Now those of you who know me, know that FUNKS are not my style! Trust me, I do not like funks and I rarely allow myself to go there. This time was a little different. I actually got into the funk before I even realized it. ...
