My Bad, Totally Bad, So Bad...Bad, Bad

Hahahaha, I have neglected this blog for over a week. Typically I try to post to each blog once or twice a week, but it has now been over a week. My apologies. Here's what's going on with me...pretty much NOTHING! How did you guess? Actually, I am ready to take a break. I have been pounding the keys for over a year now, and I am getting a little tired. Not giving up, mind you, but a person can only take so much. First of all there is rejection...and rejection shoots you down, but on the internet, it's almost worse...there is just SILENCE. No comments, no e-mails, no inquiries...just SILENCE. This is almost worse than rejection.

I am not complaining. I know there are about 2 bazillion people just like me trying to find some kind of notoriety on the Internet, and I definitely have found some. As you will read in my post below...I have made some amazing friends. We are close, we are REALLY close and actually I would put my life in the hands of these people. But as far as making a living online or getting my music or my sites in the limelight...not so much. It's ok though, I am not depressed or down. I am loved, and this is the best kind of notoriety you can find. I am putting in more hours at my winery job, and since gas and food prices are going crazy right now, I am going to hang with a steady paycheck for awhile.

People should pray for each other. Just hold those dear to your heart close to you and send them your best wishes. That is the best you can do when the economy sucks and God knows what the politicians are going to put us through. In fact, who the fuck cares? Just keep doing what you can do, and love the people you are with.

Peace out.

MoonGirl Fan Club

No, I don't really have a fan club, but it sure is fun to pretend I do. I have a friend on Yuwie who calls herself an Imaginary Supermodel, and so I have crowned myself Imaginary Rockstar. Anyway, I want to take a moment to highlight some of my internet friends who work very hard to support me, maybe you could visit their sites and show them some love.

DIY Girl - visit Julie and her site that is geared toward women who literally have it all. Moms and Executives alike will appreciate this site.

Dear Bette - an advice column written by my good friend...Bette! She and I met last year through Linkreferral and have become fast friends. She is quick witted and true to the bone. You will love her, drop by and give her a holler!

Pink, Glitter, Style - this is my awesome friend Wendy who has brought me tons of business and advice. She is (admittedly) a information junkie, and a great resource to have if you are looking for online opportunities. This is a new blog for her, accentuating her FUN and PLAYFUL side!

Crazy Horse Industries - Betty Moore is a dear woman who has honored me with her friendship since last summer. She recently lost her husband to leukemia, and I would love to send some business her way. She sells fun jewelry designs for the avid horse lover (or Betty Boop or Elvis) please stop by her site and tell her MoonGirl sent you!

My Brain Station - Long time friend, Charlie Creasy has developed an ingenious site for people to track and remember all their daily information. Truly, Charlie and I have known each other 20 years (don't do the math) and I am very proud to support his site.

Darrel Day - I am friends with an incredible man who has written some pretty amazing novels, you can find them in my Amazon store. (Abduction & Until Death Do We Meet) He blogs about his life and has some amazing insights to share in regards to eternal love, bi-poler, bitter-sweet, and so much more.

I look back at this post and realize how blessed I am have these people in my life. Thank you my friends, for always supporting me. We now return to our regularly scheduled program...

David Cook is My New Friend!

OK, I am so excited I can hardly sit still. When I got my video posted to YouTube, I got ambitious and started a MySpace Music page...it is fairly rockin I must say. Then the very next day, David Cook's picture appeared on my home area and I clicked it to make a friend request. I was giddy just clicking the "add" button. A few days later, lo and behold, my request was accepted! David Cook is now on the top of my friends list. I can't stand it!

Now, let me tell you something about myself. I am not celebrity crazy, unless someone is really really REALLY good. I have fallen for Harry Connick Jr., and I remember going to one of his concerts when I was 8 months pregnant with my first son. I stood up and screamed like a teenager throughout the entire concert. I don't know if my husband was embarrassed or amused, because in that moment he did not exist. It was just me and Harry.

I am also quite taken with Pierce Brosnin, Patrick Dempsey and Brenden Frasier.

OK, so I have to tell you something about my infatuation with David Cook. I started watching Season 6 of American Idol when it got to the top 12. I thought David Cook was a total loser. I hated his two-tone hair, I hated his interpretation of songs, and I was wondering if he ever had a mother who dressed him. But one week, something changed. He colored his hair a gleeming shade of chestnut brown, he grew in his facial hair around that annoying "sole-patch", and he sang Billie Jean. I hate Billie Jean, but I loved David Cook's Billie Jean. I think I even wet myself. It was phenomenal...that was the week David Cook stepped up. Apparently he read my mental e-mails, so I started voting. The next week I voted more, and it got to the place where I was voting for him 6 or more times much to my 10 year old's chagrin. Julian still hates David Cook.

I'm sorry Julian, but Mommy has to say this one thing...

"YAY! David Cook is my friend!"

It's Here!

Well, I could not be prouder...this is my first music video. Many thanks to my BFF Megan who filmed and edited this AWESOME video for me, without her I would be another karaoke wannabe. Even greater thanks to Sheryl Crow for writing and producing such a great song. I am so proud to be singing your lyrics! You are one of my fem heroes of all time! If you have an account with YouTube, please visit this video, add it to your favorites and rate it for me. (5 stars preferrably!)

Enjoy!

This Grout Is Clean

Holy sheesh! My grout cleaning days are over...I know I am belaboring this, but I worked all week bleaching section by section in my kitchen and my right index finger is raw from working with bleach. Go ahead, laugh all you want, but my kitchen looks f*king GREAT! hahaha, ok, let's talk about something else.

Today, my friend Megan, finished my music video...did I mention I love her, and if she ever wants to leave her genius husband who has the patience of a saint, I would turn lesbo and have her children? hahahaha, again. I am soooooo funny! Anywhoooooo, the video rocks! I am going to send her one or two edits, so she can wrap it up and then we will start downloading and uploading... whatever it takes to get it on YouTube and all my blogs and Social Networking sites. You guys are gonna dig it, she really did an awesome job!

My week has been intense, so I think I will go to work tomorrow and Sunday so I can get some rest. Love to all, have a great weekend!

Do Rockstars Bleach Their Grout?

Here is something I never thought I would ever do, let alone blog about it...but I am bleaching my grout. I went over to my girlfriend's house the other day and she has the exact same tile countertops in her kitchen that I do with one slight difference. Her grout is sparkling white, and mine is coffee brown. I told her that she had a cleaning sickness and it just wasn't right to have a pristinely clean home when you have two rugrats rampaging through your house 18 hours out of the day. She proceeded to tell me how easy it was to keep the grout clean by simply buying a cleaning product with bleach in it and letting it sit on the countertop overnight. Grrr, she sucked me in, I had to do it. I have been cleaning my grout all week, and my hands are dry and raw from using this bleachy stuff. No, I don't believe in Donna Reed's rubber gloves, I am a badass rockstar I don't need no stinking gloves!

PS, cats get high off of the smell of bleach.

Another Week, Days Are Flying By

Hey everyone, I'm not sure what happened to this week. I really didn't get much work done, the kids are in the final stretch of school so we are cramming to get as much done as possible, plus it was my niece's graduation this week. Also, I worked Wednesday and then afterward we auditioned another guitar player. Unfortunately the whole band thing is falling apart. I guess right now it is just not meant to be for me to be a rock and roll star. I still rock, though.

I just put together a to-do list for this week coming up, I really need to get some writing done and I want to finish my patio project. I am also ready to get some sun and start wearing my tank tops and going barefoot. Winter is not my favorite time of year, I am also not crazy about Spring. I used to hate the months from January - April. It just seemed like such a sluggish time of year, but this year was actually kind of exciting and nerve racking...I am learning to appreciate life so much more nowadays.

Yep, this is a pretty boring post, I realize that. When I walk away from my computer I think about all kinds of cool things to blog about, and then when I sit down I stare at the screen like "duhhhhh" and all those ideas go right out the window. I guess that is why I haven't written for nearly a week. Its cool, I'll get my groove back when things settle down. Summer is coming and the kids will be playing, I am hoping to have a relaxing summer.

I haven't heard from my friend about her progress on the music video, but I will talk with her this week and find out how its going. The day she and I toyed with it, it looked TOTALLY cool. I am way excited about that. I am also getting ready to launch a brand new website I have been working on, so look for that this summer as well!
