Come on dance...

"Come on and dance, we may not get another chance, because the night is falling and the music's calling and you've got to get down to the swing town" (guitar)! Steve Miller Band playing in my head this morning. I loved that album, still do. You know nothing compares to how I felt when I was a teenager and I got a new album, it just isn't like that anymore.

Today I entered Dickson in Kraft's Single Best Town contest! I hope we win! So many great things about our town. I would love to show it off.

Karen and Russell

My cousin Karen met "Prince Charming" and married him a little over a year ago. After spending much of her adult life miserable and mistreated, she finally found a true partner. A husband who loved her and wanted to take care of her. Someone to be happy with. Just a few months after they married, Russell was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and it had spread to his brain. Karen has spent most of her marriage caring for Russell as he got worse and worse and on some days didn't even know who she was. Russell died on Sunday evening and Karen is burying him today. My heart breaks for her and has many times since Russell's diagnosis.

In Steele Magnolia's, Julia Roberts has a line..."I'd rather have 5 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special." Hard truth. Thinking of you today Karen. All my love.

Monday Morning

What happened to the weekend?! It disappeared. The Prissy Hen Social Hour was particularly fun on Saturday and really, my few minutes of me time for the weekend. We laughed a lot and talked a lot, got to have some back and forth with Bob and Amp covering the basketball tournament. By the way...Dragans rule, won the championship. Way to go boys! We also talked about Dave Ramsey's seven baby steps to financial security. That was a hoot. Pretty sure ol Dave has never been a single mom. If he was listening, and I'm sure he was, we threw out an invitation for him to join us. He actually is very funny and the Prissy Hens think he might (might) could hold his own!

I think we are going to do a Valentine themed show on February 13th. Since the Prissy Hens hate Valentine's Day, we thought this might change our minds. We aren't bitter about it, in fact, we are funny about it, but we hate it! Our number one Prissy Hen man wants to join us and we love that idea, should add a lot of laughs.

I am starting my day off frustrated. Frustrated by the unpleasant evening I had after a very tiring day yesterday, frustrated and misunderstood in my expressions with loved ones this morning, frustrated in my reaction to them, big headache already...not a good start.

Monday Morning

Prissy Hen Need To Know Info

I felt the need to post an informative (maybe venting) post this morning with some information for our fans. It is always a little amazing to refer to "fans", but man oh man, are we thrilled to have fans!!!! We love our fans and we are so humbled by the fact that someone wants to listen to us be us!

We have had several inquiries about listening to our previous shows "on demand" on the WDKN 1260 am website (www.wdkn1260am.com). All of our shows are recorded and generally you can go back and listen to any show at any time. That feature is temporarily not working. The Prissy Hens don't know why, but while I am bringing everyone up to speed on the blog, Belinda is on the phone with the station.

We are also unable to sign in to our mailbox on the station website, so if anyone wants to contact us, please do so on facebook (The Prissy Hen Social Club) or comment on this blog. We love, love, love hearing from you all. We like you to call in during the show, we love emails, comments, etc. The Prissy Hens are very social, we like interaction! Gives us more to talk about.

Don't forget...Show tomorrow, 12:00 (noon) cst, WDKN 1260 am if you are local or listen online at WDKN1260am.com. Call us at 615.446.4000.

So, Dorothy, when you find Toto, bring him with you and we'll have a drink!

It's been that kind of day! I am pretty sure that the highlight of my day has been that i left my wallet at Pei Wei at lunch, got all the way back to the office and realized that I didn't have it, knew immediately that I had left it. Of course it was the one day in life that I had more than 72 cents in my possession. I am pretty sure I had a mild heart attack on the way back to Pei Wei from my office praying that a. my wallet was there, 2. my money was still in it, and c. that I did not run out of gas since I was on fumes and had forgotten to get gas while I was out.

All prayers were answered. Wallet was there with cash, and I made it to the gas station. Of course I threw up my lunch.

oh, well.

note: The a, 2, c order is not by mistake. It is a Prissy Hen personal joke. A friend of the Prissy Hens is big on talking in points and invariably says "a...and 2" or "1 and b". She doesn't realize she does it, but it just sends the Prissy Hens into crazy laughter. We have made so much fun of her that we now just do it too on purpose!

Glamour...

"But in the flesh the meaning, for me, is still the same no matter what the era: Glamour belongs to the male or female who has the ability to change the temperature of the room as soon as he or she enters it." Annette Tapert, author of The Power of Glamour and The Power of Style.

I love that quote, it reminds me of many of my favorites from Coco Chanel or one in particular from Marilyn (my fav)..."I don't care a thing about money. I just want to be fabulous."

My friends have heard me quote that many times, usually in breathy Marilyn voice, which I do pretty well. The Prissy Hens love glamour. We like to feel glamourous and look glamourous as well, but really it is mostly about what is inside. Confidence is glamourous, truth and belief in oneself is sexy and attractive. Glamourous is not always about bling or even clothes or jewelry or makeup or even shoes!!!! (well, maybe shoes...ha!)

A Moment

That is Prissy Hen code! The Prissy Hens have busy lives and we have very little free time, so from time to time, at the end of the day, when our ears are hot and cell phones are going dead from too much time spent talking on them (from both work and non-work), when the homework is done, clothes are ready for school the next day and kids are fed and ready for bed, The Prissy Hens will sneak away to have a brief conversation or sneak a smoke (shhhhhhh!). We usually meet at one of a select few places and sometimes we don't even get out of our cars as we are dressed in pajamas or some other "non-prissy" relaxing outfit.

Last night we met at one of our regular spots. Let's just say that our local police were doing a great job protecting our local businesses. And to our buddy, whose parking lot we frequent, your stuff was safe last night. We were cruised several times and we laughed to say that it probably went over the freakin' scanner that the Prissy Hens were smokin! Good grief...can we just have a moment?!

I Hate When Tuesday Acts Like Monday

The day started out good, I actually slept all night, got the kids to school on time, got my cinnamon pop tarts, talked to B to start the day and then when I got to the office...it was so Monday. I hope it gets better from here.

I wish things would slow down a bit. Tonight is a home basketball game, which Belinda and I have been wanting to go to. Unfortunately, it is Planning Commission tonight and I think Annie has b.ball practice, so I won't make it. Love Cougar and Lady Cougar basketball, wish I could just go enjoy the game.

The Prissy Hens are so affected by the tragedy in Haiti. We are wanting to contribute in some way. We have an idea to do a fundraiser and simply ask people to contribut $1. We want to get the radio station behind it and have people drop off $1 to donate toward relief for the earthquake victims. I hope we can pull it off. It is difficult to watch and understand that kind of devastation. 200,000 dead...wow. A dollar doesn't sound like much, but a bunch of dollars together will make a difference.

We are also trying to put together a Valentine's Day package...interesting since The Prissy Hens usually boycott Valentine's Day! We just hate when there is a whole day devoted to people who have someone who loves them! We aren't really that bitter and synical, it just reminds us that we don't have a sweetheart, so we don't particularly care for that reminder. Of course, it will be Amy's first wedding anniversary. What a year it has been. Well yay for Amy and Jamie. Maybe we can get our Valentine's Day thing put together and a lot of people will have fun at our Prissy Hen Valentine's celebration and we will feel all different about it in the future :>:>:>

Welcome To My Blog

Welcome to my first blog. I won't say how much time I have spent setting up or researching how to set up this blog. It's an "old dog, new tricks" kind of thing. But, here it is.

I am Beth, my fellow Prissy Hens are Belinda and Amy. We have our own radio show in our hometown. We are all local business owners and entrepenuers, we are very social minded, we love being involved and giving back and we like to work hard to make our home a better place. We are mamas first and foremost, we are true southern women. We all have been married more than once, unfortunately. As a great friend of mine once told me..."honey, some of us are just bad pickers!" We love to have fun and we love to laugh and talk.

This blog will be about everything and nothing and I hope you enjoy it! The Prissy Hen thought for the week is..."if you can't get rid of the skeletons in your closet, then you'd better teach it to dance!" (or lock the door and put a chair in front of it)
