Greased Lightin'



If you know me at all, you know my all-time FAVORITE movie is Grease, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

I watched it again yesterday, and I still love it as much as the first time I saw it. The above video is my favorite part of the movie, when she makes his jaw drop (and all the other T-birds jaws as well!

I must be honest with you, dear reader. I wish I could cause that sort of reaction just once in my life. But alas.. I'm like the earlier good-girl Sandy, not like the head turning gorgeous Sandy.

And that is the bulk of my mini-pity party. I am who I am, and someday I will make someone's head turn, I am sure. (and not a creepy someone's, either!)

I used to hate what I looked like, and couldn't even look in the mirror at myself. I am slowly getting past that, and accepting who I am. Josh has a lot to do with that improvement, I must say. If you are just recently tuning in to my blogs, Josh is my best friend of over 18 years. And, he is the best best friend that anyone could ever hope for. He is a constant esteem booster, and shoulder when I need him for anything. And when I say anything, I mean ANYTHING.

I hope you enjoy the top clip, and just so that this entry can live up to it's title....Here is the Greased Lighten' clip! I love this scene as well, and I really have the whole movie memorized if you want to know the truth!

Happy New Years..and all that Jazz..

Plenty of different things going on that I could write about in a decent matter.. I just haven't had the inspiration deep enough to do so.

My muse has gone south for the winter apparently. I hope she or he or whomever they are is enjoying warmer weather and hot, sunny beaches for me.

Heaven knows, that is my ideal day.. lounging on the beach at Lake McBride all day long..

Anywho.

I had a good Christmas with my small family. I actually received many thoughtful gifts from my brother, and wonderful gifts from my mom. No boyfriend at Christmastime this year for me. It's the first time I've been single in at least six years~and I am enjoying it immensely!! Way more time to myself and far fewer headaches!

I managed to send out oodles of Christmas cards this year, I was very pleased with myself for not only sitting down and writing them out and addressing them, but getting them into the mailbox and out to the recipients before Christmas! First time in my life have I actually managed to do that with ALL the cards! Hallelujah! (or Gesundheit, whichever you prefer :P)

(Usually, the cards get thrown in a pile in my glove compartment or stuck haphazard into my car visor..where I come across them in June or July... I always MEAN to mail them out~it just doesn't usually happen.)

One of the cards that we sent out this year was to my brother's best friend,Adam, of twenty-something years. He used to say that he's known me since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, (They are 8-9 years older than I am.) We haven't really seen him since we moved into the new house a little over a year ago, so we sent him a card with contact information and stuff.

And..

..with a few hits and misses of contact, I finally got to talk to him again Saturday night. Two hours and fifteen minutes was our conversation.. so it's all good. He's a pretty decent guy, a musician. But my brother's best friend..so even if I was interested, it would not happen.

Onward.

It is now a few days into a brand new year, and I have yet to come up with any resolutions or really put any serious thought into making some. I should though, I really want to make on concerning my Mary Kay business, exercise routine, cooking healthy and reading... but I am still thinking about it. No one says that the resolutions HAVE to start January 1st, right?

...Umm...I had way more things to jot down in my blog tonight.. but Kid Rock's All Summer Long came on my player and distracted me. Sorry about that, my lovely readers!

So, tell me!

How was your holidays?

What kind of lovely resolutions did you come up with?

How did you spend your New Years? (If you can remember it, that is!)
