Oprah gained a fan today...ME!...
You know...I DVR Oprah every day just because, well, it seems like such a mommy thing to do.
Turth be told, I rarely watch the episode...but I will if I know in advance that it's something I want to see...anything about children and autism spectrum disorders, health and fitness, shopping, home makeovers, people makeovers, etc...
I really enjoyed Monday's episode with Valerie Bertinelli, and learned a LOT about her that I didn't know.
Today also proved to not disappoint. WOW!
I don't like (achem..try not) to blog about Rick Springfield too much...because let's be honest, I lose a little credibility each time I do. I'm a full-time working mom with 2 Fragile X kids, a great husband, wonderful family, I am very involved with my kids and their "stuff" and it leaves little time for much else! Truth is, I love his music, and he saved my life in many ways because of his music...and a chance to see him sing live, is to me, more than a little slice of heaven.
By far, it was the most relaxed Rick I have ever seen. He really found a peer in Oprah. He was totally comfortable talking to her, and she did her thing...she asked some out of the norm questions, which I LOVED.
That's ALL I'm sayin......
Fragile X Webring
You'll see over there to the right, that I've joined a Fragile X Webring which links other blogging FX blog owners together.
Sometimes I still cannot believe how intertwined in my life Fragile X has become. Both boys, my brother, sister...I carry it....it's constant.
There is so much MORE that I want to be doing to raise awareness and get the word out there, and I spend so much time thinking about different things I could do, but I have trouble putting all of them into action. My ideas are endless....I need to be better at taking action on my ideas.
I'm getting ready to set up a Family Foundation, which will give us a means to collect the money we fund raise and give us a name to sponsor events under, etc....logistics.
I'm trying to think of a good name...and if you have one, please e-mail it to me. I had a few, and when I searched them in LegalZoom, it turns out they were all taken either by other non-profits or companies.
I'm also trying to think of something we can create and sell that would help to raise money...the family that started the PA Fragile X Association have these GREAT necklaces (that I wear daily)
and car stickers to raise awareness. If you have ideas about that, by all means, e-mail me.
That's it for today...I hear the boys running the halls upstairs....time to get them ready for school.
