The Village Idiot

What is happening? This has been the worst, happiest, craziest past seven days in my entire 55 years!

1. Granddaughter got to fly to PS and is GOING to see Justin Bieber.

2.My tennis partner and dear friend Kay's husband passed away Wednesday morning. Just died in the car. (I guess that's the way I'd want to go.)

3. My Co-Grandma had emergency appendectomy last night... OH WOW! While visiting daughter-in-law in Arizona! So they are in a strange area!

4. Our Co-Grandpa (husband of above) fell off a ladder and broke his knee! IN ARIZONA!

5. Grandpa Bill, my husband, will probably fly to Arizona to drive everyone home (when ready).

6. THAT MEANS I AM 100% IN CHARGE OF ALL BIEBER FUN. We were planning on making it a joint Grandma venture, because we BOTH want to witness the JOY of Alexa getting to meet the "Biebs" .

When it rains...it pours. But I still feel blessed by everything! My darling D-Girl, Ashlee, is doing GREAT. My Mom is holding her own. My husband is feeling much, much better (another blog about Bill someday)

and how's your day going ? ? ? ?

OMIGOSH >>I WON

On a lark ...I entered a contest here in Palm Springs to WIN Justin Beiber MEET AND GREET tickets for Alexa!! The concert is in Ontario CA on the 24th ... 6 days from now!


I can't "belieb'er" it ... but I won (well-her video won) and need to move on to the "semi-finals" . Haven't told Alexa yet ...because I don't know if I can GET HER HERE in time for the Semi-Finals in Palm Desert, CA.


Hard to find airline tickets for unaccompanied minor on such short notice ... even if she loses the Semi-Finals ...it would be a WONDERFUL NON-D experience for her ... back to my airline calls!

WOO-HOO WHOOP-TIE-DO!

PRAY FOR ME .... and Amy (she's working on it, too! We are not telling Alexa yet, don't want her to have YET ANOTHER big disappointment ...!!!)
