Just a reminder to go vote next Tuesday. I'm posting now so any who read my LJ can plan in advance in case you in leave in a cave and had forgotten the election is coming. :)

I just like the icon.

Reba is a'comin’!!

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:01:04 GMT

And I am going to see her...thanks to my parents, who paid for my tickets as my Christmas present, and to tattooedgirl, who actually bought the tickets. I am so excited!!!

You can tell by my overuse of the exclamation point!!! ::laughs::

I get to see my buddies tomorrow as I have a Literacy Providers Network meeting and will be having lunch with my Walker friends after.

Now, if I could only finish this Web site and get paid... :-)

I enjoyed Sarah Palin's speech last night. I like her. I won't say she's perfect or that I agree with her on everything, but I really like her. I'm a fan.

Speaking of being a fan, DIY is my new favorite network. Amy Matthews!

A lot has changed in the past month. I've changed jobs, am in the process of beginning a new business, and am starting a non-profit. Basically, no more Bevill State. Ha.

I'm very busy. I need more hours in the day. ::sigh::

I should post something.

Anne Hathaway is my new "It" girl. I saw Get Smart yesterday, and it reminded me how good she is and how beautiful. I have liked her since her Princess Diaries days, but more importantly, I have respected her. She has talent and picks roles she feels will teach her something or will allow her to work with actresses who will teach her a thing or two. To be so young but to have credited to her name working with both Julie Andrews and Meryl Streep is quite the accomplishment. This movie is not her best work, but I like it – and her – anyway.

I spent Saturday at my community's annual Art in the Park. I was there with the Literacy Council, and it was a nice day. I spent the day talking to Holly off and on. We were texting on Friday and talked on the phone on Wednesday, but it was great to have a conversation face to face with her. I took her some vegetables from the garden and gave her some books for Stella, her niece. She is adorable, and Holly bought her the prettiest sundress at AitP. Various members of the Council were there throughout the event, but Tina and I stayed all day. I enjoy her company very much.

Unless something major changes in the next month, my last day at Bevill State is August 8. I'm ready.

I desperately need to talk to Nichole. I am going to e-mail her now.

big surprise

I forget sometimes how much I really like Dutch. I'm with her every day, and I think I've been taking for granted her sense of humor and how much she really does love me.

I'm not going to get totally sappy. I'm just saying she's been a good friend to me, and I rarely acknowledge that. I get too bogged down in Holly and Charlie and Carla.

That's all. That thought just occurred to me as she was leaving. Thought I'd share.

I was looking at my LJ and thought I should update, but I don't really have anything to say. It's been a slow summer. I'm working, doing freelance projects, and preparing to go back to school. My campus has an interim associate dean, which means changes are a'comin'. Other than that, it's been quiet.

I broke a tooth yesterday. :)

Reba news!

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 13:40:28 GMT

Look for Reba's new duets CD to be released on September 18th!

42nd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards Host Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson will perform their song from McEntire's upcoming album Duets. The show will be broadcast live from MGM GRAND in Las Vegas on Tuesday, May 15th, at 8:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network.

Okay...I'm so excited. Reba. A new album. A preview. Wow.

Reba news

Wed, 04 Apr 2007 19:17:25 GMT

From Reba.com:

Reba is currently working on her newest album, a duets project, slated for release in the fall of this year. Artists scheduled to record with Reba for the release are Kenny Chesney, Kelly Clarkson, Ronnie Dunn, Rascal Flatts, Vince Gill, Don Henley, Faith Hill, Carole King, LeAnn Rimes, Justin Timberlake, and Trisha Yearwood. Look for more information to come as the album's release date nears.

I'm glad for a new album - even a duets album - but I do not like Rascal Flatts. I also do not like Justin Timberlake, but I have been told his song is a beautiful ballet, which he wrote specifically for this project. I am looking forward to the Don Henley, Faith Hill, and Carole King songs.

What a b'day present this would be:

Reba McEntire will reunite with Tony-winning actor Brian Stokes Mitchell for three performances of South Pacific at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles this summer. McEntire and Mitchell had previously filmed a reading of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical for a PBS special. A CD version was released by Decca Broadway. South Pacific will be staged Aug. 3, 4 and 5. Tickets are available at the Hollywood Bowl Web site. Additional performers will be announced at a later date.

According to Reba's site and the CMT site:

The final two episodes of Reba McEntire's sitcom, Reba, will air back-to-back on Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. ET/PT. The show, now in its sixth season, moved to the CW network last year and is the network's most-watched comedy. The final episodes are titled "The Housewarming" and "The Kids Are All Right."

No one can figure out why it is being canceled. It's the highest rated show on the network. Its popularity has been consistent throughout the six years it has been on the air. ::shakes head::

The only positive I can think of is that she now has time for more albums, concerts, and movies.
