Yep. Back in those NBC's Saturday Night Live Wasn't Quite One Year Old Days, this night was my one and only party-my 18th birthday party to be exact! After all these years, classmates still talk about it. No special entertainment or DJ-nothing of the sort, just sloppy joes, squares of cake with my name written on each one--and oh yea, two kegs of beer: Schlitz and Budweiser.
In those days, the legal was 18. It wasn't until later, Dad admitted he just knew he was headed to jail, since not everybody was 18. Oh and then the beer was gone in 90 minutes, so a collection was taken up for more. Last year, I posted about the day. Click here to take a trip back in time....
Now, to this day in 2010. I'm in the midst of my second whole day of my new age. When I was in my 20's, I thought people this age--were, well---old--and pretty much dead. Since I've made it this far, it's farther from the truth. Anyway, I've had grand day, which included being part of a chum's planning for her annual writers' conference here in Dallas. Come to think about it, it may have been more of the quiche than the planning...
So now I look at my cat filled and quite cluttered house. It does need some attention, especially my kitchen sink. Gotta make sure nothing grows in there. :) After all that, this Saturday night in 2010 ever so pales compared to my own personal Saturday Night Live exactly 34 years ago tonight.
No matter. The memory still makes me smile...
Now while this cat sleeps I'll clean
...maybe..plus Saturday Night Live is new tonight
Better set the DVR, since I may be asleep... :)
Some things change while some things stay the same!

Yep. We broke a chair. I remember just BAM, we were on the floor. My Dad and step-mother saw the whole thing. They were there the WHOLE time. And the kid who was doing the spanking, was the principal's kid...ahh...a different time and place.
This my chum's 4th conference. And she wants it center on publishing and self-publishing. It's in June--so--which will be here tomorrow.
And the kitty. Sweet Boy, my Noir is--when he's sleeping... :)
What cleaning duties do the cats have?
The cats just clean up to be cute.... :)
