Golden Globe Mania

I've always been star struck, though oftentimes I don't lead on to it.

As long as I can remember we've watched all the award shows.

When I was a little girl, we'd watch lots of movies all together as a family.

Then right out of college, I was out and about having fun with my friends and I swayed from that tradition.

But as I got older, we got back to the movie scene, the award-watching tradition and again, being quite star struck.


It's so different, so hard, not having Mom here with me.

Many think it's because I relied on her for so much. And though, that's part of it, Mom was my best friend in the whole wide world. I enjoyed spending time with her. She was the coolest person I knew. I enjoyed taking my Mom to award ceremonies, concerts, ballgames, going out to dinner. I loved hanging with my Mom and I am very proud to say that!

She really is and will always be here.

And it's times like these, watching the Golden Globes, when I recall how truly similar we are. Mom and I hate when people in the limelight clap for themselves. One of our pet peeves. A nominated star hears their name being read and claps. Really! Exhibit a little self control. Let everyone else clap for you --be a bit humble and REALLY show your class by clapping for the others in your category!

I also notice our similarities when I hear comedy bits, such as in the Golden Globes, and I am in the minority not thinking they are funny at all --neither would Mom!


I guess I did rely on her for having my back when everyone else looked at me like I had three heads because my thinking differed from most. At least I always knew I had an ally in Mom!
