Listen, I’ve been working hard today.  And, if you don’t believe me, Google won’t let me send anymore emails.  They cut me off about 3 AM and then when I got up at 8, I still was not back in the game.  Finally I got back in and I apparently don’t learn very quickly because about 3 PM this afternoon?  I got the whole “look stupid, quit sending so many emails” message and since that time, I’m lost.

I live by my email.  My husband says that I am addicted.  He calls my computer my heart.  He will ask me if I am taking my heart on trips, or “are you taking thumper”.  Get it , thump thump.  He says that too.

I missed the Michael Jackson memorial but I’ve managed to watch almost all of it through CNN and CNN online.  And, for some reason, I return to his daughter Paris’ statement and I sit on my sofa and bawl my eyes out.  It’s been 22 years since my father died and watching her made me feel like I was that little girl.  I was 19 when my dad died not 9 or 11 but it hurt all the same, trust me. 

People can say all they want.  I just have a couple of questions.  Where were all this people that showed up today when Michael was self-distructing.  I know that by all accounts, he was strong willed they say and wouldn’t take no for an answer.  And, I’m sure that’s why more people didn’t alienate their friend in the name of trying to help him.  And secondly, my question of Michael shielding his children’s faces all these years and then today, at his own Memorial Service, they were in plain site and Paris even asked to speak.  I hope they can return to a life of normalcy.  Or a life that’s as normal as it can be when you’ve lost a loved one.

And, finally, I am in a contest on Muffin Top Less and if you haven’t already seen my video entry, you need to go check it out.  You can see my video here.  Now this contest isn’t the kind that I need votes to win.  However, one of the things that the contest sponsors asked for was for someone to show their transparency and if showing you that the seat of my pants could house another person, then I don’t know what transparency is.

You now, transparency is a big deal on blogs these days.  But, the other thing they asked for was for the contestants to prove they are out-going and will promote the Slim Perfect  clothing line.  I forgot that part.

So, for those of you who know me as the “talk-to-much” lady that I am, please leave a comment on one of those posts telling the sponsors that yes, indeed I am a big talker and kind of…..out there….and I love me some attention.  I mean, who wouldn’t love some attention in that little black dress yet hide in the corner when wearing their maternity clothes when their youngest child is already 4.5 years old?

So, please, I’m just askin’…no obligation….

If you are so inclined, you can also tweet something too.  Just use @The_Jerri_Ann and @SlimPerfect in your tweet and not only that, a bloggy buddy has entered too, if you know her @theappleofmyeye and you wanna tweet for her too, that would be perfect…….Thanks in advance….

And, with that you can learn the fate of my casted foot….
