Thursday Chit Chat

Last night I was getting cabin fever, so we decided we'd go out to Carrabas for some flat bread, iced-tea and a chit chat.

 

We got there just after 9:30pm, and noticed that they would be closing in less than half an hour, so we decided to try Applebee's.

 

When we entered Applebee's there was karaoke going on for women's night, so we asked to be seated at the far back. We waited...and waited...still no order, and the woman singing was so out of key we knew a chit chat would be difficult. So we got up and left, which feels like a walk of shame.

 

Ever done that?

 

So what else is open by nearly 10:00pm and nearby? Perkins. It was hopping in there, with retirees who were out for the night in their masses. We had half a sandwich and a slice of pie and finally had a chance to chit chat.

 

Today, I wrote some letters, and have attempted watching the movie Double Life, a Lifetime movie about three times. It's about a woman whose identity was stolen. Along with a cup of tea.

 

Did you hear about Gloria MacKenzie? She is the 84-year-old Power ball winner who won the $590.5 million jackpot in May. She has decided to donate $2 million to fix the roof of a Maine high school in her hometown.

Here she is from her younger days. Meanwhile, Kanye and Kim have spent $2 million dollars, but for a gold plated toilet and a Swarovski encrusted fridge. Now that is ludicrous!

 

 Now, back to my movie!

His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge

 

From abc news:

 

"Prince William and Kate Middleton have named the royal heir George Alexander Louis, Kensington Palace announced in a statement today.

 

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son George Alexander Louis," the palace said.

 

The baby's official title is His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. The baby boy was born Monday at 4:24 p.m. London time. He weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces, according to an official announcement from Kensington Palace four hours after the birth."

 

 

I wrote about the birth of Prince George yesterday, and about his maternal grandmother, Carole Middleton some time ago. Many people are intrigued about the thoroughly modern Middleton's, who through hard work have built a multi-millionaire mail order party business.

 

In my opinion, William loves the continuity the Middleton family have, something he never had growing up.

 

I was so excited to watch, and experience such a wonderful historical moment. Utter joy to watch the news, that's for sure.

You are cordially invited to follow my Royal board on Pinterst.

 

It's A Boy

What wonderful news.

 

 

William and Catherine have a baby boy. He was born at the private Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington at a healthy 8lb, 6oz at 4:24pm.

 

 

 

I watched via CNN and the Today show. Natalie Morales did an excellent job. Here's the comment I made on her post:

 

"Well done for waiting in that heat Natalie, you've experienced such a historical moment. Thank you for keeping us updated throughout the day. It was such an exciting moment, with some tears of joy."

For some reason I couldn't sleep last night, and spent most of it awake, so at 5:45am I decided to come to the living room, and saw that the TV had announced that William and Catherine had been taken to the hospital. It was an exciting day waiting for the news!

 

Belgium's King Philippe and Queen Mathilde

Oh, how I adore the European Royal family.

 

I spent eleven years of my childhood growing up in the English countryside, and had a chance to meet Queen Elizabeth when I was in middle school.

 

So, when news came about the Belgium has a new King and Queen I was excited, but especially to see Mathilde as Queen.

 

I adore her, she is so beautiful, gracious and a wonderful mom to hers and Phillipe's four children.

Here are some photo's I wanted to post, so I'll remember the day.
