Wienerrmobile

Since I will never make it on Broadway my claim to fame
is belting out the "I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener" song in
a grocery store parking lot.

Was there a huge, attentive crowd that clapped wildly when I was finished with my off-key rendition? No. Just two cheerful Oscar Mayer staff members. A few people who were going in the store to shop gave me some strange looks but heck, I am used to that.

After singing the song I received a tiny wiener whistle! Naturally, I was so excited about it I had to test it out while I was grocery shopping. Shoppers were not amused by an old chunky woman blowing the whistle. Go figure.

Plus, in 200 words or less I filled out a form to explain why I would like to be the winner and ride "Shot-bun" for 4 hours when the Wienermobile returns to Rochester in August. In addition, the winner will received $5,000 and you had to write what you would do with that money. Yikes! Not much time to prepare. In another blog post I will tell you how I would spend the

Today's post is about being rude. No, not me being rude which occasionally happens, but people who talk and whisper during concerts, at the movies or just anywhere they are supposed to pay attention.

I asked a friend how she enjoyed an event she recently attended. She said the most interesting part was watching one group of "shushers" give dirty looks and try to quiet down a rowdy group of women. The more they shushed the louder the women spoke.

My friend asked what I would have done. I said I would have tactfully spoken to the rude talkers and if that didn't work would have asked the person in charge to speak to them. If that didn't work I would have called in the . Okay, that may be extreme.

Rude people are like small children and need to be gently coaxed and taught proper manners.

Here's hoping that you are not or never will be someone who has to get "shushed"

Fairy Godmother

Thanks to the blog reader(s) who are wondering why in the heck I haven't blogged lately. No, I haven't been on (vacation) just busy with my 30 hour a week non-profit job and several speaking engagements. Life is good just a bit hectic these past few weeks.

Check back later today for updates

Ta-Da! Updates as promised
