Squirll About Town

shuffleboard 

so i broke down and got neil diamonds 'the essential' cd.
pure joy.

it reminds me of the time, loreen and i were traveling by bus through the beautiful irish country side and the bus driver pops in the tape and all the passengers start singing along. it was one of those movie type moments. we all need to have more of those!

ok. really.
do I have such a speach impediment or problem that when I say my name it sounds like I'm saying "Shirley"
Its Sara, ok. SARA (or maybe if im in a good mood - sarah)
another thing. when i say the letter 'L' I am not saying 'O'
L dosent sound like O
and my last name, I can understand that it is a lost cause. I dont think it was untill i was 7 that i could say my last name remotely correct.
yes. 2 years of speach class got me to say my R's. it was quite tramatic. i was the only one in the class who couldent say R's. everyone elese was talking like cindy brady spitting out their S's. and they would gang up on me. and then when i would make fun of them, they would just make fun of me back and it was this vicious circle, and I was outnumbered.

and thats fine. but i never had a problem with my name or the letter 'L'

i missed beauty and the geek this week. sad.

Wednesday nights tv was so bad it was actually great!

8:00 - the WB Beauty and the Geek
the concept is, get a few beautiful women who are as dumb as bricks together with some geeky guys and then make them help eachother with their weeknesses. thought up by aston kercher. It's much better than Average Joe which bascially made fun of the guys.

9:00 - ABC Dancing with the Stars
so bad. it started off good. joey from the new kids danced his little feet off. but professional boxers should not be allowed to dance ever. J Peterman - did a good job too! now this show is one of a slew of shows comming from across the pond. England has Great reality tv. and its about time for the networks here to catch on.

10:00 - BRAVO Sports kids moms and dads
part 3 of the series. ive been a big fan since the beginning. show dog moms and dads was my favorite so far. cause it was so bad. some of these parents actaully SCARE me.
