My most sincerest apologies for not posting anything on the blog for quite some time. It's been a bit hectic here. Meghan applied to NYU early decision, which meant we had to get everything done and in before this week because - well, after Friday, I'll be IN ITALY!!!!!! Meantime, we've been dealing with the usual extra-curriculars for both girls, work hell, painting one side of the house, fielding phone calls from the wayward traveler - Howard, not me. He just got back from a trip to Monaco for heaven's sake and now he's in San Francisco.
And... well, I am astounded that neither sib #1 or sib #3 have discussed the Ellen situation. Good lord above, the woman adopts a dog from a shelter, gives it up to the family of a beauty parlor worker and then gets all hot under the collar when the shelter takes the dog back. She took her personal beef with the dog rescue people onto the air and now the rescue people are getting death threats... Now this is a scruffy little dog, mind you (not at all like Leona's Trouble). I can't post the pic because it's got a Baltimore Sun photo copyright, but head to this link to see for yourself: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation/bal-te.to.pets20oct20,0,1429241.story
WHAT is this world coming to when these celebrities' doggie problems take top billing in the news?
Then again, Marie Osmond did just collapse during her samba on Dancing with the Stars, and that did make headlines this evening...
I have been taking an Audiobooks course in Italian, by the way, so that I can speak up whenever mom tries to order something toxic for dinner or pay too much for some bizarre souvenir when we're IN ITALY!!!!
Seriously, despite the fact that I'm in pretty serious denial about how it will be to spend 10 days with the matriarch... I AM pretty excited about going on this trip! Ciao!

Oh my Lord! First of all, I was deeply touched by Ellen's tearful response on her show re. the dog...she was only trying to and did in fact find the dog a good home. The rescue league folks blew that one and only ended up with negative publicity AND the death threats of course, which Ellen did not encourage. tsk tsk
As for Mom not ordering anything toxic...HAHAHAHAHA...that was a good one!
Better get out of denial...Friday in upon you soon!!!
I don't understand the Ellen thing so I am glad you finally blogged about it...even Don wanted to know if Deirdre Dunne had taken up the cause...so what happened the rescue people took the dog back? why? Why did Ellen cancel her show? this is too confusing you just have not kept us well informed!
