She is My Rockstar


Several years ago

I came across a book

"Animals In Translation"

And so was introduced to the woman named

Temple Grandin.


I bought more books

and I looked up places she was speaking...





Being Star Struck just isn't me !

But.Here.I.Am.



Then last month a trailer came on for

an upcoming HBO film About Her Life.

Took Me By Suprise

Stopped Me in My Tracks

So overwhelmed, I wanted to cry even !


:::::::::::::::I can't explain this:::::::::::::::

Even to myself

why, every time I see it / think about it

I feel overwhelmed and excited enough

TO CRY.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


The Anticipation Of This Movie

Has Made Me Happy Crazy Coo Coo

Constantly Counting Down

The Days yet to come.



WELL IT'S HERE

It's HERE , It's HERE

Finally The Day Is Here !

Saturday Night at 8 pm



"twitterpated"

My Mom's Word for

Completely-over-the-MOON-EXCITED.

Well thats me now :

TWITTERPATED !

~ for sure ~



And Thats What I will Be Up To

This Saturday NIght.

Yes Yes Yes


Now For Some FUN





~ On Sale ~

Thanks For This Cat



Such a Small Thing

And yet....How Would It Feel ?

If I had nothing else left in this world -

To have My Own little bag

To hold a few necessities in.

This Could Be BIG.
