Miss America dumped... again

To my Miss A fans --

Just when I was coming around to Country Music TV adopting our beloved pageant, the news gets worse.

CMT has dropped Miss America faster than you can say "Here she is". It's true.

Accoring to online reports, "The Viacom-owned network, which had rights to air the pageant through 2011, notified the Atlantic City, N.J.-based organization that it will not exercise its option to televise the contest 'in 2008 and beyond.'"

Surely the mascara is running on the faces of the faithful in Atlantic City. (Could a few be sniffing "I told you so" ? )

First ABC and now CMT. Throw your hands in the air with me, readers.
Miss America and her crown should not have to stoop so low as to be auctioned off in some common cattle call - right?

Sigh. Can-I-hear-a-20-bid? 20-dollar-bid?

Foot in the door

Planet Claire correspondent Kelly D sends this nifty shoe stop. But does it come in a 7.5 narrow?

No ordinary right hand...

It may look like just another right hand, but after 16 days of being unable to use mine, I'm especially thrilled to see it again. My cast from my broken elbow came off today! My arm still hurts, actually more than with the cast, but I'm just happy to be able to take a real shower tonight! Sixteen lefthanded days seemed like forever. I'm back!

We really weren't going to buy that much...

Mrs. White convinced me to go with her to a big scrapbook convention last week. I thought I might buy some stickers... oh, how naive I was. Four hours later, we loaded up her ladybug and headed back home. Obviously, being one-armed has not prohibited any shopping....
