It's my mom's birthday today. I didn't ask her if I could post her age here so I'll just say that she's older than me...hee hee hee. Here's the card I made for her...
Ingredients:
As soon as I saw the "Just My Type" stamp set, I knew it would be perfect to use for my mom's birthday card. She actually still has a working typewriter!
Happy birthday, Mom.
Nine years ago today, our dear sweet Maggie went to kitty heaven. Bill & I had adopted her from the Humane Society on September 1, 1986. She was about a year old at the time and was 17 1/2 when she died. She had broken a bone in her leg in November 2002. To this day, we have no idea how she did it but the vet had said it was probably brittle bones caused by age and her thyroid medication. She never fully recovered and suffered what the vet believed was a stroke on the morning of February 22, 2003.
Maggie was a very shy kitty. She wasn't shy around Bill and me but If anyone else came into the house, she would run and hide. As soon as they were gone, she would reappear and look around as if to say, "Hey, where did the guests go? I was just getting ready to come greet them."
We adopted Greta from Open Door Animal Sanctuary in July 2003. Maggie was a tabby as is Greta but they are as different as different can be. I'm sure Maggie is looking down from heaven and getting a big kick out of Greta's antics. She's probably just shaking her head and saying, "Silly kid."
We love you, Geebie!
We saw Rock of Ages at The Fox on Saturday. It was not one of the Broadway Series shows but we traded our tickets for West Side Story since we've seen it several times at The Muny. I'm really glad we did because the show was excellent and the music was great. It takes place on the Sunset Strip in 1987 and the songs are from that era featuring Journey, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Styx, Heart and Quiet Riot, just to name a few. I think it was the first musical that we've seen that I have known every song. Here's the complete list:
| 1. Just Like Paradise / Nothin' But A Good Time | |
| 2. Sister Christian | |
| 3. We Built This City / Too Much Time On My Hands | |
| 4. I Wanna Rock | |
| 5. We're Not Gonna Take It | |
| 6. Heaven / More Than Words / To Be With You | |
| 7. Waiting For A Girl Like You | |
| 8. Wanted Dead Or Alive | |
| 9. I Want To Know What Love Is | |
| 10. Cum On Feel The Noize / We're Not Gonna Take It | |
| 11. Harden My Heart / Shadows Of The Night | |
| 12. Here I Go Again | |
| 13. The Final Countdown | |
| 14. Any Way You Want It / I Wanna Rock - Reprise | |
| 15. High Enough | |
| 16. I Hate Myself For Loving You / Heat Of The Moment | |
| 17. Hit Me With Your Best Shot | |
| 18. Can't Fight This Feeling | |
| 19. Every Rose Has Its Thorn | |
| 20. Oh Sherrie |
A movie is currently in the works and set to be released in June. I definitely want to see it although I wonder if it will be as good. I may buy the cast recording too!
We ate dinner at Over Under Bar & Grill and then stopped at Six Row for a few brews. We also bought a growler of the brown ale to enjoy during the Super Bowl. I really only watch the Super Bowl for the commericals. I don't think they were as good as in years past. Here's my favorite one though...
Too funny! If you've never seen the movie, Ferris Bueller, I'm sure the commercial wouldn't make any sense. It's one of my favorite movies though, so I think it's hysterical.
Happy Monday!
