Got the kitchen counters cleaned, the spice rack, the mixer, the coffee maker, the microwave, the stove, the window (the outside had not been done in 6 years), and sink. Left to do the fridge and the floor. My weekly diligence on the kitchen has made each consecutive cleaning easier but it still feels like I can’t get out of the kitchen to the rest of the house!

Trees are bluming and the outside feels like Spring. I’m longing to just spend days on end working on the yard.

I figured it out! Babies speak Yiddish! This last conversation with her phone had lots of “oiy oiy ydipth oiy”s in it.
Also, I forgot to mention that Bacharach was in all 3 Austin Powers movies.

I wish I had a way to record Amy’s every movement. She just took a remote control, pushed some buttons, put it to her ear, said “hello” then in a heightened state of excitement shook her head back and forth while talking and yammered “ew oh oh eeww ew yup” then would hang up. What does this tell us about our lifestyles? 🙂

This Morning
Got up groggily and am preparing for a day of cleaning.
Last Night
Saw Burt Bacharach in concert by volunteering with the Red Cross. Awesome concert! Fantastic performer! He’s got that style that I think a stage performer should have. You felt like he was just having the best time of his life and that it was a personal performance for you. The orchestra flubbed a few times but it was taken in good humor. One of Burt’s entourage made a mistake during a solo and had one other error but again it was taken with a smile.
For those of you asking, “who is Bacharach?” take a look at his hit compositions. He has written many of the songs that you love as well as many movie hits. A few are Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head, Alfie, Do you know the way to San Jose?, The Man Who Short Liberty Valance, and I Say a Little Prayer for You.
Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach
A bio from InfoPlease (an excellent resource)
Beginning in the late 1950s he gained acclaim for his scores and songs for films, including What’s New Pussycat (1965), Alfie (1966), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), and Arthur (1981). He won an Academy Award for Best Score and Best Song for Butch Cassidy, which featured the catchy “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head”. He was married to actress Angie Dickinson (1966–80).
