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!)
