Let's Do Something New!

In these economic times, it has forced me to be a bit creative when having to find something to get for a friends birthday, especially their 50th!!!

The birthday boy finally said to me “The best present would be you performing something..”   Gulp.   I longed for the days when I had enough cash to order a really cool watch on-line, or send a bouquet of balloons.  Okay, I guess the only thing this will cost is time, rehearsal, and something funny to say.  So I wrote a song….got some back-up from my talented friends Ethan Stone and David Sampson, and decided that this would be a funny birthday gift, dedicated to the effects of alcohol and the voice we hear when we tipped the bottle a bit too much.

SO for my NEW THING today, it was giving a gift from the heart, which is so much easier to pay down than my enormous credit card bills.

I hope somehow it might inspire you to give of your “gifts” for the present you need to get someone next time

Enjoy…….

In honor of my 2009 RICK SPRINGFIELD CRUISE, I decided to post the “Best of the Cruise” to entice anyone else that might want to go this year on his final and last Rick and Friends Cruise-it was a blast.

It is my intention to go this year with my sister, however, it looks like unless there is a miracle, because my dog has diabetes, and her CAT has diabetes, neither of us can afford the ticket AND what it cost to keep them at the vets. (OMG WHY didn’t I purchase doggy health insurance??)

Anyway, here is the video I am quite proud of as it shows the fans point of view of the cruise. Done in pure Rachel Reenstra comedy style.

Maybe one day even Rick himself will see this.

Ok, we have all heard them before, the people who don’t “get” facebook-  the people who REFUSE to be a part of the mass movement to connect on this crazy social media site.  Probably the same people who “brag” that they don’t have a television, which just means to me  you can’t afford cable. You’re not better for not connecting with the world, especially since in 2011 you can pick and TIVO the good stuff and filter out all the crap. Yes, there IS good TV out there. Discovery, History, PBS, Biography….but I digress….

Listen, people, the point is just RELAX. We are here to give you exactly 2 minutes of a little R&R and help you understand why you might live a happier life by NOT being a facebook hater. And if you ARE a facebook hater,  you probably don’t have a TV, so here is some free entertainment. Educational. Inspirational. And kinda funny.   Enjoy.
