hey all. first off... today is Giggledad's birthday!!! yayyyyyy!

(I can't go see him because I either have a cold or allergies and i don't want to chance getting him sick... I think it might be allergies because giggleMOM has been smoking in the house for the past 2 weeks and I AM ALLERGIC TO CIGARETTE SMOKE...)

what's been going on?

1.) the laptop screen is 99.99999% dried up (will post another photo soon, i know everyone is on the edge of their seats awaiting THAT one...

2.) saturday night - went with my friend to Atlantic City to see Madonna ( photos are here. some are good. some are crap. some are videos. )

3.) Satruday morning, one of my clients, who also happened to be one of the best Irish singers on the Jersey Shore - Joe Finn - he passed away. I've been going to see him for about 30 years... GM took me back in the day, the kazoo on the homepage of his site is mine... just one of the nicest fellas in the world. so found out that news that morning because whenever someone posts on his guestbook I am notified... and a couple of entries about "singing with the angels" and "In a better place" came in and my heart sank - which, is selfish, since he was ill, it's nice to know that there's no pain now and that he's at rest up there... but, still, I'm gonna miss my Joe Finn so much.

4. No Joe Finn, but, actually a great band sent me their CD and I am going to review it in the next day or so keep your eyes peeled.

5. Still addicted to Facebook.

6. Seeing Jim Gaffigan at Town Hall this Saturday... am taking my 13 year old niece to the city and hanging with her for the day then we're heading to see Jim - I'm very excited! it's going to be so much fun!

7. that's about it in a nutshell.

8. I need to go stock up on allergy meds now --- either that or stop GM from smoking

Whatchoosayin'?? (15 yapped)

So sorry to hear that you've lost someone dear to you, that is a mighty fine kazoo on his page though.
I'm totally addicted to facebook, it's actually kinda ridiculous how often I have to check my Vampire Wars application, and my farm, and my tetris friends... I feel like a teenager with absolutely no life.
I'll have to check the pics from Madonna, hope you had a great time, and that you have an even better time with the neice and Gaffigan.
I'm SO happy my mom finally quit smoking in her house, but I feel for you... good luck with those allergies!

niece is my cousin jimmy's daughter.

jimmy and a few of my cousins lived with us for years, basically being my older brothers.

because i will never have a niece or nephew unless i marry someone with fertile siblings, i've been given "honorary aunt status"...
