Of Course!

As forecasted, Partners debuted in the top slot!  196,000 copies sold!  Just incredible!  Not only is Barbra the first woman in history to have a number one debut in each of the last six decades, but, she has padded her lead as the best selling female artist of all-time substantially.  As I said in my previous post on this subject, I'm so happy this album deserves its place.  Quite the accomplishment!  Congratulations, Barbra!

Twins!

The Road To Find Out:East

The Road To Find Out: East may only have four tracks, but each one is perfect!  In a sixteen minute span, the listener embarks on an unforgettable emotional journey.  A rare combination of complete sincerity, effortless versatility, and unmatched power make Ramin's voice utterly irresistible.  Have been struggling to find a way to properly convey the pure brilliance of this album, but no description is worthy.  Must be experienced to be believed.

HISTORY!

Barbra Streisand continues to make music history!  Her newest album, Partners, is projected to debut at number one!  To do that, a record must sell 150,000 or more copies in the first week of release.  Numbers indicate 165,000-175,000!  How incredible is that!  Streisand is the only artist in history to have number one debuts in each of the past six decades!

As an aside, I had a feeling this would happen.  Went to several stores on release day, and each was sold out, with the album on backorder.  Just in case some of you may be wondering, I have listened, and do believe this offering deserves top spot.  I'm so proud of you, Barbra!  It's such an incredible honor to be able to say that my favorite artist is the best-selling woman in the history of music.  There will never be anyone better!  Ever!

Where There's A Will...

Probably wondering what your looking at.  My chair broke the other day, and the technician was unable to fix it when he came.  Was told my left motor let go, and it wasn't safe to drive.  Was devastated at the thought of having to cancel my trip to New York, not to mention being advised to stay in my apartment.  Shortly after that crushing blow, Shanon discovered the real problem.  What is it that was supposed to leave me immobile for the better part of two months?  A LOOSE NUT!  Tons of unnecessary worry and drama over a loose nut!  Was put back in place, and secured to the best of my ability.  Haven't had a problem since!  Sometimes, the simplest solution...

Rockin' The Do!

Pink Fetish!  Have ALWAYS wanted pink hair!  Figured a trip to New York would be the perfect time to try it out!  Wasn't sure what I was going to think before I did it.  I love it!  Everyone knows how critical I am of my looks, but I sincerely think this color compliments them.

Love how the pink makes the green pop!

My niece had her first day of kindergarten yesterday!  Just doesn't seem possible!  So big, so fast.  Of course, little brother had to get in on the action.  They're adorable!

So ends this picture guide of my latest trip to The Big Apple!  Fear not, though, I'm going back next week, and am sure to have plenty to share upon my return.

Got stuck in a flash flood.  Thankfully, this extremely kind gentleman was nice enough to give me an umbrella, in an attempt to stay dry.  Worked for me pretty well.  My chair, not so much.  It died on the corner, and Stephanie had to manually push it to the hotel.  After about three hours of prayer, and contemplating cutting the trip short, the chair started working again.  Thank God.  It was insane, but exhilarating, and fun.

Of Course!

I knew it!  I knew it!  I knew it!  Ricky is America's Favorite Dancer!  As if there were any other choice!  Time for truth, if it weren't for him, I doubt I would remember any of this season.  With the above exception, it just didn't have the same feeling as last.  Another bit of T, that aside, I would watch Ricky dance forever!  So proud of him!  Think we'll definitely see him as an all-star in the coming seasons!  What an amazing treat that will be!  Cannot, absolutely cannot, wait for season 12!
