My Dad arrived yesterday. I have been looking forward to this the last couple of weeks. He is here by himself for 5 days. I really have to thank Sharon. That leaves her at home to tend to the cat and dog and my grandparents. It's fun having my Dad on his own for a few days and then Alex will be here Friday and my Mom and John and the Williams for a send off. So, today we are just going to mosey around the city and check things out and tomorrow Pete will be home and we are going to have a day with no kids.So, it is Wednesday. I spend a lot of time thinking about this blog. I am always composing blog ideas or actual posts in my head for future use. If it was for writing in a journal I think sometimes it would be different. I always want to write what is honest and true to me but I also do not want to offend anyone. Sometimes when I read back at things I've written I wonder what someone who doesn't know me well must think. Do I seem shallow? Crazy? Conceited? I wonder how a stranger would view me based on this blog. I wonder what people who do know me think, has this blog changed their opinion of me? It's easy to hold back flaws and shortcomings when you are the author. I do think though, that I have made it clear that I am Queen of the crushes. I am not ashamed of this, I think Pete knows most all of them. When someone pops up on TV he'll say "There's your boyfriend." He'll ask me,"Should I grow my hair out like that?" Things like that are what make him my ultimate crush. On the other hand, Pete never says a thing and I always wonder what "celebrity" he would pick. So I chose this weeks list hoping I could weasel it out of him. I don't know, maybe he would tell me if I asked but is aware that I am prone to cattiness and jealousy. I will admit that I have serious doubts about posting this one. Alex gave me a much classier, more mature topic idea that I will save for next week. I know this is shallow and juvenile but I am dying to know who shows up on your list. It doesn't have to be currently, we have all had childhood crushes(NKOTB?). I don't think we grow out of it. My stepmama Sharon went crazy for Bo Bice, so I know I can't be alone in this. So, top five "celebrity"crushes.( I hope Pat puts The Au Pair.) Here's mine...
#1. Jemaine Clement....uh...duh.....
#2. Michael Jackson ( middle school)
#3. David Byrne
#4. Phil Collins ( also middle school)
#5. Buster Bloodvessel (Bad Manners)
Have a good Wednesday. I'll be back tomorrow with tales from Seattle with my Dad!

I love these lists!!! Love ya!
This one was a stretch for me. Even though i LOVE celebs (They're just like us!) Here it is:
Alyssa Milano-1989(My brother Jeremy had a poster of her in a New Jersey Devils hockey uniform. HOT!)
Jodhi May-(The younger, quiet sister from Last of the Mohicans)
Natasha Gregson Wagner-(for the Cusack fans, she's the writer he makes the mix tape for at the end of Hi-Fidelity. I was also an extra in a movie she was in that was filmed in Salt Lake)
Eliza Dushku- Not so much anymore that she's famous. But I did see the original "Bring It On" in the theatre.(yes the cheerleader movie)Long story...
Lastly, Aimee Mann- She was in a Rush video in 1987, and ever since the Magnolia Soundtrack I've really enjoyed her music.
Mattie-
No I have never seen the one with Mike in Monterey. Dirty Jobs did come down to the pier to do some taping one time. I had Scott keep a close eye out for Mike! But he never did see him.
My heart is broken that I was not mentioned until the ninth posting! It's not easy getting older. I'm especially distressed that Matilda didn't list me, and after I autographed a photo for her!!
I'm omly visiting, so here goes my list of lists. Matilda erased the first time I did this. I think my crushes may have offended her. Especially the dead one. Well, here goes.

1. The Who...guitar smashing and chaos.
2. Electric Flag, one of my all time favorites.
3. Country Joe and the Fish
4. Oingo Boingo, still a very favorite.

Jobs:
1. Lopez Produce Stand in Carmel Valley.

4. The Tradewinds, a crummy tourist store on the Monterey wharf.
5. Pacific Grove school district. Couldn't wait to graduate and get out of there...then sacrificed 22 years of my life working there..It was much sweeter though,getting paid for it.
