Justin Bieber ... I'm in shock!

Well, Alexa and I are set for the Semi-Finals... My girl-friend, Lynn, who is a flight attendant for American Airlines ... got her a flight! She'll arrive in PS Wednesday at 11am and we will head to the Westfield Mall in Palm Desert for the finals! There are 10 semi-finalists and they are giving away 5 sets of tickets, two to each winner, as well as Backstage Pass to MEET the Beib's! So, our chances of WINNING are 50/50 .... 50/50 GREAT ODDS, even by my standards!

Even if WE don't win ...we'll do something fun ...just us girls! My husband is skeptical that it will be a huge let down if we don't win ...and an unhappy memory. The glass is always half-empty with my Darling Bill!

I'll be honest ...I'm scared to DEATH!! Little did I know I'd have to go up on stage as the "technical" Semi-Finalist ... The contest was only open to age 13 and over ... (something NOT disclosed when I entered on Facebook). I'll be this crazy, old lady with hoards of "tween" age girls showing their BIEBER FEVER for the judges! Oh, Lord, what have I gotten myself in for!

We'll be fine ...rain or shine ... win or lose ... we have great HATS!
Someone make sure the EMT's are on hand!

I'll worry about the concert when and IF we win!

This is my beautiful granddaughter, 10 year old Alexa!




Alexa-Lita-Peta-smell-your-feeta-across-the streeta!
She hates it when I say that!

Thank you Reyna and Wendy for the SHOUT-OUT! WOO-HOO

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 ...!!!)

D-Evil and Justin Bieber!

I shared this article with Amy. Years of un-checked blood sugars and just plain ignorance cost this woman most of her limbs.

We spoke yesterday and I can't even begin to describe the guilt I felt about "kinda" "sorta" IGNORING the fact that there are THREE other grand-children! When I call or see them ... its all about Ashlee. How's her numbers? What'd the Endo say? How's the B.A.N.T. going? ...sometimes for hours on end! Anyway, November 6 is Alexa's 11th Birthday ... Oh, excuse me, it's "Alexa Bieber" or "Beiber2theFever" , I can't keep track of all her pseudo names! ALL SHE WANTS FOR HER B-DAY : to go see Justin Beiber in Concert! Not an easy feat, I'm guessing! Tickets for the Concert nearest them are being scalped at over $900 EACH! Well, we sent her $$ EARLY for her birthday, just in case she does make it to a concert ... we shall see how it all works out. You know, I remember being ten years old ... The BEATLES came to America, I could have cared less! I was a kid who'd rather be with animals than people, guess that's why I DON'T understand any 10 year old CRYING for 8 hours straight...because of a boy she doesn't even know!

Poor Alexa feels left out and HAS since MARCH ... she's taken the back seat (sorta) to a little sister with D-Evil!! Oh, she knows its not Ashlee's fault ...but I see and hear the resentment. So I'm going to make an effort to see if there are any concerts in Cali when they come for business end of November. The kids will be in Palm Springs while Mom and Dad do business in San Diego! Since D-Evil moved in, Ashlee CANNOT be left with just anyone and it would really be hard on the other three if they ONLY brought Ashlee ...so, I'm driving to LAX to pick-them-up! What fun THAT will be! This trip I need to focus on the Non-D-Grandkids!

Looks like I'll be spending the next few hours reseaching Justin Beiber ... but I've got to walk the dogs first!

My GOOGLE IS FIXED

I don't know what caused it ... but for at least two weeks, every time I turned around I was signed OUT of my Google account ...then, when I'd try to sign in again ... it didn't know me and I had to go thru the whole re-set the password dealio... yada yada yada YOU KNOW THE DRILL! The E-Blogger portion of the account un-remembered my followed blogs ...which was the worst part of the whole fiasco...





but woo hoo doggie-woggies ... it's fixed now ... NUF SAID!

ps: Bob says "HI!" (My 25 pound black cat ...THANK YOU, Jenny Craig!)

Chloe and HR

It's 4:30 am and my old darling "babies" have kept me up ...most of the night. NO Messes ... no vomit ... no diarrhea, for ONCE I wish that was the case. HR and Miss Chloe coughed LONG and HARD ... most of the night. They've had the "old dog" heart cough for a month or so (HR's much worse than Chloe's...but who cares?). I know what it means and I just can't bear losing either of them. Of course dogs don't live forever and people are so much more important .... but, when I look like poop or have a nasty attitude or am JUST plain mean (yes, I do have those days! ☺) THEY are the first to forgive me, love me, kiss me, make me laugh and, well, I just love them!

I've been afraid to make the Vet appointment but I guess there's always the possibility he can increase HR's medication ... I don't know what he can do for Chloe, just have to wait and see.

You know, I'd be the first person to "gently" suggest to a friend, who's pet is obviously in distress, to CONSIDER the obvious but my dogs are DIFFERENT ... they speak English, they know what I'm going to say before I say it ... they are precious souls ... how can I end it??? (You always feel differently when you put ON THOSE SHOES!)

Here they come ... time to EAT .... if I'm awake, it must be breakfast time in their minds ....

more later!

ps: Today is not the day!! I just know that day is coming and I'm blue thinking about it ... I have Romeo ... he's much younger. Chloe and H are not going anywhere YET (except to the vet) ... let's go visit Dr. Steve ..OH BOY , RIDE IN THE CAR ... OH BOY !!!

E blogger

Oh come on .... please Google!! Read ME! .... I can't stay signed in and you keep losing all my favorite Blogs! I NEED them ... what the heck is going on ... I haven't changed so YOU must have!

Now I know what being hooked on coffee is like! I miss reading my D-moms DAILY ... Amy needs the input I glean from their trials and errors! Myrnx has benefited, too! I was able to talk her into splitting her Lantus dose to 2 x daily ... 8 units AM and then 3 units at bedtime (she WAS taking 10 units each morning). AND IT HAS WORKED!! No more morning highs! After Amy learned of the Myrnx's success ... she did the same with Ashlee (against what the Endo had told her) ... and WHA D' YA know .... waking with good numbers! 110 to 158 +/- ...

We've learned from "D-Moms that BLOG" alot of little new tricks ... to fool "D-Evil-One" !!

But if GOOGLE doesn't fix this mess I'm going to shoot myself ... I can't stand not being always on ... and this password changing 17 times a day has GOT TO GO ....

GOOGLE ... Can you hear me now?
