I love online shopping!!!!!

I do too, especially when the UPS/FedEx/mail guy is CUTE...

Is it Friday yet?

As with couchie's question about January, my checking account again says NO...

Gosh, it's Parker's two month birthday. *sigh* I have to be honest...I keep staring at the cover picture from People magazine...but I find myself drawn to Parker as much as Clay. I personally think Parker is as adorable as his Dad. While I want Parker to have as much privacy as possible (especially knowing that Dad is in the public eye), I do hope that "we" get to see him grow up from time to time, via pictures. Who knows? Maybe Dad will upload home movies to YouTube. Hee.

You are me, ldyj. I think Parker looks like a mini-version of Clay. :kirtsun_05:

Off to find some lunch & more caffeine before the afternoon meetings start up. Friday can't come fast enough!

Jesus is it January yet?

My checking account says [screams] NO.

Glad you enjoyed getting Spammed last night, Kareneh! Thanks for the Clack!

Aww, it is Parker's 2 month b-day, isn't it? *insert ICBG here*

Hope he's healthy & happy! :bb18:

ETA: I'm running off to a meeting, so short on time, but check the FCA Glossary at the top of the page, clayzy. I'm pretty sure Claytonic has 'anomaly' listed.

Sweet dreams, Scarlett! *makes mental note to make voodoo doll of anyone who ever tries to schedule a 3 am meeting*

Hee! I love our fashion challenged guy! Stage door report from tonight's Spam:

he was wearing the brown hoodie, with navy blue track pants, striped socks and sandles

:Kolobok_Laie_haha:

Hee! that is too freakin' cute. What's the Parker equivilent of the silly Aiken grin? Cuz that's what's on my face at the moment. (where's Big Red gone?????)

Awwww! Me too!

Yep, it's got to be an IPG. Or an ICBG - Involuntary Clay Baby Grin.

I wonder if they're referring to that New York magazine interview from earlier this year?

Need to find a more sneaky way to say it -- I'm even thinking of pre-loading fortune cookies with messages like "Ignore all new acqaintances. Your true one will find you later. Much later."

Hee! I *love* this idea, Scarlett!

Ah yes, the well meaning friends who "accidentally" invite single guys to lunch/dinner. Why do people assume that they'd be better at finding you a match than you would be yourself?

Yet another reason I love my mom: she does not meddle in my personal life. Or current lack thereof... heh. I always - ALWAYS - thought I'd be married with children by now. Surprise! I spent a long time in a bad relationship that I now describe as "semi-engaged". We were engaged, but I say "semi" because I think I knew all along that it was never going to culminate in getting married. He has many great qualities, but he's stuck thinking that he is his father's (abusive, alcoholic, deadbeat) son and that's all he'll ever be.

I'm beyond passionate in rooting for Clay to succeed in his life because he didn't subscribe to that thinking (original DS interview where he talked about making the choice to not be like Vernon). While unconventional his path may be, I think he's going to be just fine. And so will we. Hugs {{{FCA}}} and all its many varied & wonderful members.

Another for you, Cotton, and more assurances that 33 is a good age and that there are still some nice girls out here looking for nice guys!

A for you too, luckiest. Hope your day gets better!

Off to the first of several looooooooong meetings...

From butterflyshine at the OFC, probably in relation to Trick or Treat for UNICEF.

My contact at UNICEF gave me a heads up that they are expecting a new Fieldnote blog from Clay tomorrow...

this post may travel...

Sarah Palin Debate Flow Chart :lmaosmiley-1:

j4clay is not Briget is it??? She didn't seem the type.

No no no! I believe she's "mad4clay", or something similar. I've seen her posting & she's fine, not going anywhere.

I remember driving around NC for the NAT concerts in Oct. 2004 with a CD that had just POYB and MDYK burned on it. We listened to it over and over and over. And then again.

They were fairly well behaved, but the one thing that had me actually biting my tongue was when FBM referred to one of the fans Jerome was speaking with as "crazy." Okay then..

That? Is quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever read on a message board. I'm surprised lightning didn't strike or the hand of God didn't have a mechanical mishap and fall on her head.

I just hope Jerome has the seat number and info (not that you could possibly overlook this woman). Frankly, the people who feel he needs 'saving' frighten me more than all the PH's or JP's of the world put together. The things these folks can justify in the name of God is terrifying.

I immediately thought about Jerome last night when I was reading her pity party posts. It's a good and bad thing Clay has him. Good because I think they're definitely not just employer/employee, but true family. Bad because, well, because some people are just plain NUTS and neither of them should have to put up with their CRAP.

Just so I'm clear (if this is indeed the person who is advertising their seat). It was okay with God that she go to see (and laud) an irreverent play that also includes a rather ringing endorsement for homosexuality, as long as Clay wasn't gay. And now that he is, and she can't support him any longer it's okay to go one last time.

Quite clear.

I guess that's a different God - the one who could misplace a cup?

Apparently.

Not the one whose sending Clay to hell? Allrighty then. I guess that's also the same God who will forgive her lusting after a stranger half her age all over the internet for years (because she didn't, you know, engage in the physical act), and will also forgive Clay being gay as long as he never actually engages in the physical act of love?

Maybe she should beseech God to give her a hand with the clue thing. D101.

It must be a pretty, pretty sky in the world these people live in.

Evidently, no rainbows.

But usually if a song becomes a favourite of mine, it's because I can relate it to my life, not the singer's.

Yes. Really, how many other singers can any of us say we know or care enough about to even remotely be able to relate songs to their life? And then there are the personal filters. The lyrics and melody may mean one thing to one person and another to another. Just like art (and lately, interviews, apparently - heh) it's subjective.

Monday sure comes around fast.

Yep.

I couldn't sleep last night. I'm dragging this morning. I sooooooo want to be back home in bed. Coffee. I need more coffee. Maybe an IV drip...

Tonight's stage door courtesy butterflyshine - profile & stubble lovers, rejoice!!!

I still find Clay fascinating after all this time - and still very surprising. My last words might be... in 50 years damnit - did you see that Clay Aiken's combover?

OMG - the combover comment made me LOL so loud I probably could have woken the neighbors! Would serve 'em right! :Kolobok_Laie_haha:

OK, random comment brought on by the Sarah McLachlan being pumped into my head: Does anybody else think a Clay Aiken version of "Ordinary Miracle" be awesome?

Absolutely! There was story in the news, I think last Christmas, about a service man back from Iraq who had met a little orphan boy with a disability while he was serving over there and decided to try to adopt him. Long story short, he & his wife did adopt the little boy and they talked about how he would sing that song all the time because he loved the movie it was from - Charlotte's Web, maybe? Anyway, the story made me think about Clay and TBAF and UNICEF and yeah, him singing that song!

Time out for some pretty:

G'night all!

[small whiny voice] I wanna go to the gala! [/smv]

Pssst...there is an extra Gala ticket, and if I'm not mistaken, it's a seat at our table. Spur of the moment trips can be fabulous...just sayin.'

'Spur of the moment trips' have been the norm for me over the past 5 years and yes, they can be wonderful. Thank you! I've had an offer :F_05BL17blowkiss: that I can't refuse, only sadly, I did have to refuse... It stinks to have to do the responsible thing sometimes. *stomps feet & pouts*

Mmmmm..... Cookies. We can share, couchie. Shortbread? Oatmeal raisin?

peanut butter! is there any other kind?

Chocolate chip!!!

Stage door pics from tonight via dancermom2 and a recap from the CB:

from Starry:

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I'll mention it.

When the Lady Of The Lake walked off stage after "Divas Lament", she had dropped one of the roses off of her boquet. When Clay came out to do the guard scene, he sort of accidentally kicked the rose across the stage and then paid a lot of attention to it as it slid. It was funny and I don't know how to describe it! After Prince Herbert's father went into the castle again, Guard 1 (David Hibbard) picked up the rose and started smelling it, Clay made a "oo" face and was doing the same. LOL I thought it was hilarious.

Also, he was very talkative during SD, talking to a lot of fans and taking pictures with a lot too!! He came out pretty quickly after the show was over. I have pictures I will upload and post tomorrow morning. I'm too tired right now!

Clickable....

Yeah, very sorry Muski. I've had to have kitties but down and it's quite devastating. It's hard to believe the feeling of loss over what some call "just" a pet. They're not just anything - they're your best friend and a part of the family.

Absolutely. I was devastated when I lost my last kitty in 2005. I'd had her since high school, through college and jobs and moves and happy and crappy times. She never said a word about my weight or my grades or the dust bunnies. *g* Hell, I like my pets better than some people...

I'll let my mom know that she's got some pending adoptions in the Clay Nation!

As for space in my new place, justclay12? I'll have a huge living room, sleeping bags, a comfy couch, an aerobed, and a futon... next time Clay tours (prays for spring/summer 2009) and has a stop in Ohio, y'all are invited!

{{{{{Muski family & Shadow}}}}}

I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain basics.

'How much do you weigh?' she asks. '135', I say.

The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 180.

The nurse asks, 'Your height?' '5'4' ', I say. The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5'2'.

She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.

'Of course it's high!' I scream. 'When I came in here, I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!'

She put me on Prozac. What a bitch!

Yes, I really do still love Clay Aiken even though he didn't pick my Spama-bio entry as the winner... But congrats to Claybella! :F_05BL17blowkiss:

Perhaps I went a wee bit overboard with the Spam-isms...

Any other FCA'ers willing to share their entries?
