I went to see BETTE MIDLER's newest concert tour last night. She is an amazing performer!! I can't believe that she is FIFTY-EIGHT years old!! She NEVER stopped moving around the stage. There was even this entire set that she did in a mermaid costume ... jumping around the stage with her legs inside the big fin. It was a blast!!

OK ... back to the movies. Today I saw "Mona Lisa Smile" (I had to ... it was a teacher movie!) The movie was good, but not great ... I'm glad that I saw it. Well, there was one scene in that movie that was absolutely fabulous. There was a character in that movie, in that particular scene, who was written with an amazing strength of character. I only hope that I could be so strong. She learned something about one of her classmate's personal life. This other classmate was berating her publicly (and mercilessly, I might add!) ... and her response was to embrace the other girl until she stopped berating her and broke down in tears. An amazing example of grace. Absolutely wonderful! My favorite part of a movie is when a character chooses the way more honorable, even though to choose the other way would be completely understandable and chosen by 99% of the other good people out there. This was that! :-) Go see to movie to know what I'm talking about!!

Welcome back to my blog!!!
My Christmas gift to myself was the newest version of Adobe Photoshop, version "cs" (photo editing software). It will probably take me about seventeen years to learn how to use it (just in time to see my nephew graduate from highschool!) ... but in the meantime, you can follow my growth in the endeavor by following my portfolio on photo.net.
My friend Alex's Christmas gift to HERself an even BETTER one!! She got herself a Toyota Prius ... one of those new hybrid cars. It's AWESOME!!! It's like driving your computer. Really! You don't turn the key in the lock, you just walk toward the car with the key in your hand, and it unlocks itself when you touch the door. You don't turn the key in the ignition, you push "Power" and it turns on and off. The gear shift is more like a joy stick. AND ... there's a computer screen on the dash with all of the pertinent information (like gas mileage and radio stations, etc.) WOW!!!!!!
Hope your holidays were wonderful! Feel free to leave comments telling me about them!! :-D
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
