Oy vey on my way

Okay, so I can barely breathe this morning and to fight with a new blog at doesn't want to participate is not on my schedule.  I swear I want to blame the internet, but I seriously think I have some chemical reaction with electronics.
You may laugh, but I'm totally not kidding.

I seem to be the only one who HATES her Iphone, because of all the malfunctions and dropped calls.  My husband SWEARS he doesn't have half the problems I do (thanks for the support babe) and I'm left scratching my head in total frustration!!!

Years ago, I got a gift from an old boyfriend.  It was a BIG gift; a $400 Bulova watch.  It was a small and delicate looking watch that was beautiful.  Within days on my wrist, the watch stopped working.  I took it back and asked for a replacement; he said they would 'fix' it.  So they did....supposedly.

Within a few days I was back in the store asking what the heck?  I told him my grandfather had this same issue with watches; could it be my body kills watches?  The guy dismissed me before I even finished my sentence.  I asked for a refund and he said they don't refund, but they will empty the guts of the watch and start over.  A week later,  I went back during my lunch hour, to pick up the watch.  And by the time I got back to my office, the watch stopped working.

I simply went back to the store and looked at the guy, who didn't even acknowledge me; he simply looked at his co worker and said, "Give her a refund".

So, though you may think I'm joking with this stuff, I am clearly not.

But the problem is, I don't have time to mess with it either!! 

I'm leaving for Vegas in less than an hour and I'm very nervous about this journey.  I have overpacked and probably forgot something simple like my toothbrush (which I just now remembered, thank you).
It's only for one night, but I am so excited for my very humble friend to walk the red carpet.  I want to make sure to capture his journey.
He hasn't told many people about it, because he is actually quite private.  But I told him today that I will be revealing his face, because he deserves all the recognition he can get.

Just yesterday as I was at the studio, he had a film guy following him around documenting him.  Yet he's still pretty shy about it.

I totally get that, because in crowds, I get overwhelmed and flustered and usually start crying.  He's sensitive in much the same way.

But, my dear Mookie; you deserve these great moments as you are a great man.  And I am grateful that I get to be on the Red Carpet documenting this amazing day for you.

It's going to be a great day of celebration and I know this is just the beginning for you!!!!!  I know I speak on behalf of all the MVDPAC family (and there are a LOT of us).  We LOVE YOU and are SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!  (You DID say I could tell people, right???)

Happy Thursday!
