It's possible some might find this blog inane. Who cares? lol 
As most know, I spend the weekend with Ben, at his house -- the place I refer to as "the castle". Further, I've mention on many an occasion that he treats me like a Queen. I am very happy and fortunate to know him. Okay, that was the happy news. Now for the not-so-happy but not-the-end-of-the-world news.
While dining with a group of Ben's peers (and their wives), enjoying some type of tandoori chicken and rice, I swallowed my crown! No...not the crown that invisibly sits on my head! The brand new, very expensive, crown that supposedly was permanently affixed to my lower right molar. lol
I poked Ben in the arm to get his attention and I think the shocked look on my face alerted him that something was amiss. lol A-miss alright...a crown a-missing from my mouth! It's a good thing I'm dating a doctor. Ben assured me that I didn't have to go to the ER to have my stomach pumped nor will the crown tear a hole in my stomach or other body parts. He suggested "watching" for it -- clean it thoroughly and take it to the dentist. Eeewwww  I suggested the dentist replace it at no extra charge.  My appointment is at 2:30 pm.

WARNING!! WARNING!! INANE ALERT LOL
Remember in the 1960's an iconic ad campaign that asked that famous question? The answer ranged from Vanessa Redgrave to Raquel Welch to Louis Jourdan. In other words the hottest celebs of the day.
These days sunglasses are the aspirational status symbol that the New York Times claims has knocked Designer Handbags off their perch.
There is a little difference. In the Sixties Foster Grants were available at drugstores and didn't cost the equivalent of a car payment. Or a fill up.
Being Hot (although it has had different names) is a longtime goal. But the price of that heat is going up.*
Hmm...since I love sunglasses but am not willing to pay mucho dinero for 'em, I went on a quest. Okay...well, actually, yesterday I dropped my dad off at the dentist and had to do something to kill time. I went to one of my most fav-o-(price-is)-rite stores -- Dollar Tree!!
The sunglasses choice was overwhelming. All different shapes, sizes and colors. Since it was St. Paddy's Day, I bought a green pair. Then of course, I had to have a pink and then a burgundy pair. For $3.18 I now can look like a movie star in different colors. lol 
After my big spending splurge, I took dad home, changed into different clothing, donned my green jacket that matched my sunglasses, jumped in Ben's SUV and we went to dinner. I had two lemon drop martinis, baked whitefish, one piece of bread, one cup of coffee and hazelnut cheese cake (not telling how much cheese cake since Ben didn't eat all of his and he pushed some of his onto my plate...which meant I was obligated to eat it because I was always taught to eat everything on my plate)!

Okay, I'll admit it up front..this is another inane blog!!! But perfect for me since I always add to my blogs or posts.
Thanks to Earthlover480 who gave me the idea for this blog. She wrote about taking a long time purchasing sunglasses. And, not being able to see what she looked like with them on since she had to take her glasses off to try on the sunglasses.
Now, I think she looks just too cute already so she would look too cute and extra cool (KA-oo-el as my oldest granddaughter would say) with sunglasses on.
In regards to me...well, I broke my prescription sunglasses while in Vegas and Ben bought me a pair of "off the rack" sunglasses to hold me over. But, while shopping in Ann Arbor, when I found these, well...I'll add my pic and say that my granddaughters, Patti and Yanna, were with me and they said "Gr-and-ma" while rolling their eyes!
So, tell us, how do you look with your sunglasses on?

For his birthday, little Johnnie asked for a 10-speed bicycle. His father said, ", we'd give you one, but the mortgage on this house is $500,000 & your mother just lost her job. There's no way we can afford it." 
The next day the father saw little Johnnie heading out the front door with a suitcase. So he asked, ", where are you going?" Little Johnnie told him "I was walking past your room last night and heard you telling mom you were pulling out. Then I heard her tell you to wait because she was coming too. And I'll be damned if I'm staying here by myself with a $500,000 mortgage & no bike!"

First my apologies to SecretAngel. I let time get past me and did not call you. I'm sorry. Findlay really isn't that far away and once the weather is warm and stable, please let's plan on getting together. 
The Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone concert was fantastic. Peter is quite the showman. He spent plenty of time thanking his fans and asked for audience participation during many songs. He did single out the that were in the audience and asked one young girl (maybe 8 years of age) if her mother made her attend the concert. The young voice replied "no, my grandma did"!! Lots of laughs and groans from all that were in attendance. Further, Peter looked good. He certainly has more energy than I and can dance around on stage like he did 40 years ago! It was fun to hear the "oldies". But, Waa...was it really that long ago Herman's Hermits song were so popular? 
On a funny note...all fans made reservations for overnights (way in advance of the concert) at the Findlay Inn. There was a sock hop planned for after the concert. Us Noonatics were excited about getting together, hopefully ordering pizza from Jack & Doe's Restaurant, singin' and dancin'. Well, at the last minute the powers that be at the Findlay Inn advised we could not hold the sock hop. The reason?? They thought we would be too rowdy! lol  Right...we are such party animals! 
Now, just wondering out loud here if (our) SFF DanDee chose his handle based on the Herman's Hermits' song "Dandy". lol After all, DanDee does admit to having a harem!!
