# 70: "If there was a flag and I had to design it, it would have Clay Aiken on it."


Recommended Posts

Good morning everyone 

So 15 years ago today I was 14 I went to my very first concert, the American Idols live tour here in Raleigh. A couple of my friends and I had 12th row. I’ll never forget how loud the screaming was for Clay! Clays performance of TITN is still one of my favorites. I can’t believe 15 years later ,2 months from today I’ll see Clay yet again! What a journey it’s been so far along the way a gained a family I never expected.

FYI, FCA was able to pull together enough money for a half page, B&W ad for the 2018 Gala program...with money to spare!  The extra money went to Nick Leisey's "Face Your Fear" Fundraiser, located here:  https://inclusionproject.networkforgood.com/projects/55819-nick-leisey-s-fundraiser?utm_campaign=1416&utm_source=email&utm_medium=project_update

YAY FCA!

Going to a family reunion this weekend, with possible spotty internet, especially tomorrow.  Not that there has been much with Clay...bummer.  Oh well, hope he’s enjoying whatever it is he’s doing.

I have read that Clay was mentioned on Bold Life yesterday.  Tara Reid was on the show, promoting the latest Sharknado, and she talked about his good acting skills!

We do have something to look forward to next weekend though...

And I don’t normally do this kind of thing....but if you can spare some prayers for those around me.  First, a coworker found out earlier in the week that she has pancreatic cancer.  Then there is my husband.  He still hasn’t found a steady job, but was perfectly happy driving for Uber — until this past week, when he had an accident that did major damage to his car.  He’s fine, but it really shook him.  The reason I’m concerned is because his last job’s contract ends this month, which means no more paychecks.  Our income is effectively cut in half.  Pinching pennies has never been my strong suit, especially when it comes to things like food, and Clay.  But we are really going to have to stretch until he find something.  He did have an interview for a parttime job at my library (different campus though), so that might help.  I’m trying not to be frustrated with him, but it’s hard.  He’s definitely happier now, with no job stresses, but soon there’s a different stress.  I simply think he doesn’t know what to do, and I’m not sure how to help.

Thanks for listening...

Ldyjocelyn, I'm sorry to read about your husband's accident and to learn that he is still searching for that job. I have thought of you so often and hope that things will all work out for you both.

 

i feel like a bad fan--totally forgot about Parker's birthday--first time.

In some ways I'm afraid I do feel myself drifting away--no news, no BOLD, no Clay. But, when that has happened before, he makes an appearance and I'm drawn right back in. I do hope he's having a great summer with Parker--he deserves it and also deserves his privacy.

Thanks for the good thoughts everyone.  I'm sure we'll adjust, but it's just scary.

RIFAN, I do understand the "drifting away" thing, but I've always believed in "absence makes the heart grow fonder" too.  He's got me for life.

You are so right. I haven’t listened to his music in a while. I know if I listen to one of his songs right now, it’ll be like hearing it for the first time and I will be gobsmacked all over again!! 💕

What a nice surprise to come and find this!! Those last two notes were just so pure!  One of my favorite Clay songs and I will never forget hearing it live when he did the PBS taping. OMG—that note—what was that note?! Will forever love that OMG concert. Hope all who are at the concert are loving it! Thanks for this ldyjocelyn.
