THE "MUNNY" IS IN THE LIST

SAN FRANCISCO - MAY 3:  Acotr, comedian, write...Image by Getty Images via Daylife


I was watching The Bonnie Hunt Show yesterday and she had Rosie O'Donnell on promoting her new movie "America" that is on Lifetime tonight (02-28-09) and tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m.EST. Bonnie talked about "The Teen Creed" that her mother gave them as children, so they understood what to do when they were away from home, and their mother could not be with them. It is really a great idea for parents of teens. They were given the creed at age 12 and had to memorize it and they carried a laminated copy of it with them whenever they left home. It's a great idea, especially for teens today. Rosie was also on "The Craig Ferguson Show" with pretty much the same repertoire. Not that it mattered, I still laughed till I cried. She is always funny and he just cracks me up, there is something about him that is just contagious. No matter what he says about anything, is truly, hysterically funny. Anyway...Rosie was introducing a new craft product. I guess she is big on crafts,and this new craft she is promoting is really big. It is from Kid Robot (Kidrobot is planet Earth's premier creator & retailer of limited edition toys, clothing, artwork & books.)She is promoting the Munny Dolls, which come in many colors, and you paint them to make them your own design. It's really very creative. Rosie's family does not watch television and she spends a lot of time with them, and crafts is one of the things they all do together.
When Rosie knew she was going to be on these shows promoting her movie, she went to the owner of Munny and asked him to donate enough to give to all the audience members on the shows she was going on...and they did. They are really cute and kids can be so creative with them, I think it's a great way for kids to spend time with their parents. A lot of parents these days leave their kids in the (not so capable) hands of television, as if it were a babysitter, I know because I did that with my youngest,(I was in the middle of a divorce, and I have said many times that he missed a great deal of nurturing and focused attention on him) and you know what...he is the one that has the hardest time dealing with life in general. I give Rosie a lot of credit for what she is doing, and this new craft is really amazing, check it all out.
For some reason, she and Craig Ferguson kept referring to TODAY as February 20th and talked about the Super Bowl. I don't know why they kept saying that and winking. Does anyone know why they were doing that? I feel like I have just missed a big event and the world knows about it and is leaving me out, poor me...boo hoo. If you know what they are talking about leave a comment below so I can catch up with the rest of the world.

AN INEXPLICABLE AHA

Seaman's jumper, woolen, hand-knitted.Image via Wikipedia


Keeping your mind open and subjecting yourself to all types of mediums,opens the possibilities that we have, in the past, only seen in hindsight. Not to discount the value of hindsight, but foresight is really where we want to learn things. We want to be able to have already seen something happen so when we do experience it for the first time, it is as familiar as that raggedy old sweater you refuse to part with. You know, the one you decide you have worn to death and chose to throw away, but just don't have the heart to part with it. So many things are like that in our lives. Some things we really have to let go of...as hard as it may be, but moving forward offers so many new and rewarding possibilities that just the knowledge that for every one thing you let go of, so many, many more will appear, so much better than before,...should be enough to make that transaction take place. It is like bartering with our life. We trade something negative for 5 of something positive, and our life is improved, our goal is closer, we can see the light, we inexplicably must say...AHA.

I have begun to sew again, something I really never particularly liked. I don't know why, but I know that the fact that I am doing it and enjoying it, leads me to believe that it has purpose...and to tell you the truth, I hope it shows up soon, because I am not very good at sewing. I know I will improve with time, and especially with the new technology sewing machines have encountered. You can put a little card into your machine, set the material in front of you, and it will embroider a beautiful pattern while you are off doing something else. We have known for awhile that computers work that way, but isn't it just amazing that sewing machines can do that now? AAHHHAAA!
