Halloween memories

What was your favorite costume you wore as a kid? I also, just like my big sis don't recall much about Halloween costumes. I only remember one. In the fourth grade, for my costume I was to be an African Ameriacan person. I only recall having Hershy's chocolate powder and was supposed to rub it on my skin. For some reason, we were changing into our costumes at school, and I recall rubbing the cocoa onto my arms and face and it was not turning my skin brown. My fourth grade mind got nervous and so I decided to add water to form a paste so I could spread it on. Well when the costume parade began, the paste had dried and began to crack and fall off. I bet EVERYONE wished that they had my costume.

What is your favorite Halloween candy? I will have to go with the plain old boring Snickers, but how can you go wrong with a Snickers? Unless you are allergic to peanuts and go into anaphylactic shock.

Do you have a Halloween tradition?The only tradition we have around here is handing out candy to strangers that come to our door and say "Trick or Treat."

Have you ever played a trick instead of giving a treat? Uh, no.

I Boo (at least three people): Ali, Carrie and nobody else reads my blog so that will be it.(not to leave anyone out....if you are reading this, consider yourself tagged!)

Donny does not disappoint part 2

After the show we along with about twenty others were able to go to a private area and meet the two of them and have pictures taken. When I got up to Donny I quickly approached him and gave him a big hug. He said "Hey, I remember you. Thanks for all of your help." He then autographed the picture of him that I had of him. He wrote: To Amy Love Donny Osmond. Then down at the bottom of the picture he drew an arrow pointing to his shoe and wrote "HELP!". He was so cute and so charming so I must say that I was most certainly not disappointed. In my world of entertainers Donny Osmond RULES!!!!

One last comment. I want to thank my Husband Ed for giving me the gift of a lifetime, a dream come true. Finally meeting my heart throb of nearly forty years. It takes a special man to take his wife to a show and pay a considerable amount of money to watch her cry for another man. I love you Ed.

Donny does not disappoint

For nearly 40 years I have been a huge Donny Osmond fan. As a little girl I would sit on the floor in my bedroom and play his records over and over. Just imagining that he was singing those words to me. As years have gone by I have continued my adoration for him, and it has turned into not only being a fan because he is incredibly blessed in the physical appearance department, or his ability to make a young girls heart melt. I also truly feel like he has an incredible gift in his ability to sing. So anyway... This week I had the chance to go to Las Vegas to see him and Marie in concert. I was so fortunate to be able to purchase tickets that put me on the very front row. At the time I bought the tickets I had no idea that in buying that front row seat it also would enable me to meet him and Marie following the show. Well that was exciting and welcomed news to find that out. However upon hearing that news I became a little anxious because after all of these years I had some pretty high expectations for Donny, I began to worry that in some way he may disappoint me and not live up to my expectations. Well, no more need to worry. When the show began, they came out onto the stage, I began to cry. Just like one of those teeny boppers he knew once upon a time. Apparently my being front and center, the tears of a forty-two year old woman drew their attention. Mind you I did not cry in order to get his attention. I was just over come with emotion when I finally saw him. Well, he was so sweet he walked right over to the edge of the stage, stood right in front of me and winked with a big smile, all for me. Through out the show he came back over to me numerous times. At one point he was doing a dance routine while singing a duet with Marie. It was pretty vigorous and he was right in front of me. I looked up and noticed that one of the buttons in the middle of his shirt had come un-buttoned. I pointed it out to him and he looked down and mouthed the words thanks. He fixed the button. Next thing you know he comes up in front of me and sticks his right foot forward showing me that his lace had come undone. Well, I am not the quickest thinker in all of the world so all I did was place my hand upon his shoe and run my hand down the shoe. He just smiles his glorious perfect smile and went back to his dance routine. Just a minute later he came over, put his shoe back in front of me, bend down some and asked me if I would tie his shoe. Well, what could I do? I tied his shoe with my hands shaking so much I am surprised the laces stayed together. But they did and he smiled, winked and continued on. During the rest of the show he came over knelt down in front of me while he sang to me, tousled my hair, touched the end of my nose and reached out to grab my hand at least 5 times. He also (unintentionally) splashed me with sweat which I was thrilled with, and the other ladies at the table were very envious of. Also at the beginning of the show when they first came out after Donny stood in front of me as I cried, he and Marie switched sides of the stage. She then came over and bent down to squeeze my arm and say "You are so Cute." So that was the concert part of the show.
