WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

So I've been doing my best to keep up with my Blogging, I know how all of you look forward to reading my newest musings. I must say though I am feeling a little disappointed lately... My fellow Blogerellas, it seems have become (dare I say) LAZY in this new year! Every morning I get up, usually around 8:30, and I go on-line to look for the latest entries of some of my favorite Blogs (kudos to the Maven who finally had the time to put links to said favorites on MY Blog!). The point is that for the most part I have not seen any new postings since Tuesday! What's up with that?Don't you all realize that in my jobthingyless, childless, world today, I practically salivate at the thought of reading about all the exciting lives of my G-friends...Get on it Gurls!!

I don't know about you, but I am a big fan of Ellen Degeneres. I have been watching her show faithfully since I discovered she was on about three years ago. I used to watch with a G-friend every morning. We would have a coffee and a joint and watch together while I got ready for work, yeah I know (ready for work???). Yes, that WAS our routine. I no longer smoke dope and my friend and I had a falling out shortly thereafter and then she moved so...I continue the morning tradition all by self- minus the joint, the job and the G-friend! But I have left my point yet again, surprised? You shouldn't be this is Lushgurl, after all! My point IS -I e-mailed Ellen back in Nov. or Dec. of last year and I haven't heard back from her. What's up with that?

I thought I had written a brilliantly heart felt letter about my cousin Supermom, who shares the same birthday with Ellen, January 26. For the last few years Ellen has shared her birthday by inviting people with the same to her show, it's very cool. Last year while I was watching I was moved to tears, she had flown all kinds of people to L.A. to attend a taping of her birthday show. The party was complete with balloons, cake and prizes for all, it was really quite beautiful. I cried also because Supermom was in a hospital in Toronto fighting for her very life, Happy Birthday to her! Supermom had battled colitis for most of her life and last year was diagnosed with colon cancer. She went for surgery followed by chimo and they thought they had got it all. But then out of the blue her kidneys and liver shut down. As if she had not already endured enough, Supermom had to be air lifted to T.O. to await a kidney/liver transplant. She was literally within a few days of death (the doctor said two) when the required organs became available. Thank you God!

Supermom, in true Supermom form though, never complained. She didn't go to the poor-mes place where I surely would have taken up residence. No , not Supermom, she came home full of gratitude for the new lease on life that she had been given. She asked the doctor when she would be able to return to her work as an RNA. She continued to love her family and friends and just got on with her life. Amazing! Anyway I thought for sure that when Ellen heard this story and how Supermom spent her 47th birthday in a hospital in a strange city not knowing if there would be a 48th, that Ellen might invite her to spend this B-day in L.A. I haven't heard anything though. What's up with that?

Not one to give up that easily when it comes to fighting for others, I am not yet daunted by the seeming rejection. This week on Ellen, she gave out the phone number on the show... Silly gurl...I don't think she thought her many fans would actually write it down, let alone USE the number! Note to Ellen* You gravely underestimate the power of your charisma! Not to be left out, I too, wrote down the number and attempted to call the show, to no avail though. So I had planned to send another e-mail today... Well here HE goes working in my life again! The response to the phone-number-giving-out-in-the-monologue-incident was indeed overwhelming. Thousands of fans just like me had called the show apparently jamming up the phone lines throughout the building where it is taped! So Ellen gave out a NEW nuimber, a toll-free number- so that we could call anytime. Which I did! I left a short sweet message to the effect of " Hey Ellen, did ya get my e-mail?" We'll see what happens next!

And now, back to the original point of todays Blog... Hey... Is there ANYBODY out there??? Am I on team 1?? (See the Maven's post 'Bitch Olympics") I am feeling alone and rejected and really, really bored!!! Just think, as long as I have no new posts to read I will have to find other things to do to fill my many empty hours in a day. Of course one of these things would NOT be looking for employment ( that would make too much sense), but alas, I have an answer, I'll just Blog more!!! If you value what's left of your sanity, then You will help fill the empty hours of my so-called life by giving me what I so desire...New posts to read. Don't even TRY to ignore me, I KNOW you read MY posts because there are occasionally comments on them and I didn't write them myself. Oh yeah, I may have written some of them... Anyway...I know where to find YOU...I'll just look in all the Timmy's and Fourbucks and other over-priced coffee shops, oh and I'll check the links to YOUR Blogs to see if you've visited them. And, and I'll I'll cry or something... It's lonely here on Team 1!

So on that happy and hopeful (non-threatening) note I shall leave you with one final thjought "Where have all the Bloggers gone? Long time since poooosting, Where have all the Bloggers gone? long time ago...." and of course WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
