MAKING A DREAM COME TRUE

I am a weeping mess. I kept seeing these little blurbs about a woman named Susan Boyle performing on the "Britain's Got Talent" TV show who had wowed the judges and audience. So I went to YouTube to see what is was about.

I have watched it twice. It is wonderful as a performance and as a lesson to all about we way we judge people. YouTube won't allow embedding - hope the link works. It is seven minutes long - completely worth it.

And boo to Joy Behar of The View who could only manage to make snarky eyebrow waxing jokes.

THE PRINCE OF OUR DREAMS

When I was a girl, the eligible prince was Prince Charles of England. Many girls I whiled away the hours thinking of ways to get to England and meet him and become a princess.

Eventually he married a beautiful, much younger woman and had a family. The first little prince seemed to be a wonderful match for my oldest child, but she had no interest in pursuing him.

Tonight at midnight millions of women, young and old will flock to the theaters to see the young man pictured here play the perfect man - a vampire named Edward. My younger daughter loves the books about this young man, but she remains faithful to:

Rupert Grint of Harry Potter fame. She whiles away the hours thinking of ways to get to England and meet him and become a movie star's wife.
