Thanks guys. Her cat scan is scheduled for Wed. so I'll keep you posted. Amy - Yeah, my G and P are hip. :) Rose - She's 73. Thank you for the info! Hopefully I won't need the list of questions. As of yesterday, I have out of state relatives that are in a panic and asked to come stay with us for two weeks depending on the results. At first just my aunt was going to come and she mentioned staying for a MONTH (*shaking my head no*) but turns out my uncle only has two weeks vacation. There are quite a few issues with this. The main one is she's planning on "surprising" Grammy. Grammy gets about half stressed when they come in because of cooking and just everything that goes with it. Now that she's older things just are a bigger deal than they used to be for her even if they don't need to be. My aunt knows this. Hello? The other issue is, quite frankly, I don't want them staying with us for two weeks. Now just isn't a good time and I need my s p a c e. I love them very much and welcomed them with open arms over the summer to stay with us but this is different. It's too much to type to get into specifics. Before I got off the phone I asked if she was coming in regardless of what the test results are and she said probably. Of course, I'm hoping Grammy is fine but maybe knowing that will make my aunt think a little more and not spend the money, they don't have, to visit right now. I'm all about helping family out and I think there's a time and a place to put people up for a few weeks or whatever it takes, depending on the situation, but this isn't one of them. I'll suck it up and deal if need be but, bottom line, it's not in the best interest for my Grammy. I know she didn't twist my arm and I actually did tell her I needed to check with DH but she still assumed it was a yes. Saying no would be a disaster not worth it. I expected DH to grumble but he was actually ok. So I'll let you know how that goes too.

I'm back! I wanted to get back to you about my trip, especially because all of you were so nice to help. I am sorry to say, that time went by so quick, we didn't get to do all we wanted to do. Friday night went to Mr. Chow's-and then to The Polo Lounge, which was being renovated, so another club was set up in the hotel. It was much too crowded, got one drink and back to our hotel. Saturday went to Rodeo Drive and to eat pizza at a place on Melrose called Mozza's, I think. It was VERY good! We had a couple of drinks at the Beverly Wilshire, L.A. Reid was at the next table. Then went back to hotel to get ready for the Clive Davis Grammy Party, which was being held at our hotel, so we wanted to see all the celebriites go in and out. Saw so many, and to name a few: Joan and Melissa Rivers, Joan Collins, Gayle King, Hoda Kotbe (sp?), Kelsey Grammer (and his new young wife)-sorry, he just grosses me out, Magic Johnson, Brandy, P Diddy, Miley Cyrus, Melanie Griffith, Yolanda (RHBH) and David Foster, Sting and wife, Trudy, Tyra Banks, and so many more. A lot of them were young artists, and I didn't even know who they were until someone mentioned it. It was fun! I cannot believe how skinny the women are! Have to be a size 0, not to mention tall and long legs, so they really are thin-too thin, IMO. Sunday, went to brunch at the Four Seasons, and to dinner at Mastro's then on to the Justin Timberlake concert. It was suppose to start at 9p and it didn't start until 11:30, which I thought was ridiculous! I truly would have left if my friend wasn't so inlove with him! Got home so late and was tired and left the next day! I am sorry we didn't make it to The Stinking Rose! Someone on the plane said they smelled like garlic all weekend after eating there, so we were a little afraid to go there and then to the events we were going to attend. But, would have loved to have gone there. Oh, somewhere in there we did go to the Farmers Market for awhile. We had already had brunch so wasn't hungry. I had never been to the Walk of Fame, so we went there for a little while one day. Marlene, so glad you mentioned for us to stay at the Beverly Hilton instead of the Roosevelt! We did walk through the Roosevelt, very dark place. We went to have a drink and appetizer at Sur, but, they were filming, so never even got in the door. Had fun and was exhausted, and my feet have been tortured walking in heels all night-how do people do that??? Glad to be back home!

Actually, I'm enjoying the CBS live stream right now. They're giving out awards that they will only announce in a group during the show. I got to see Taylor Swift and my favorite Civil Wars accept an award and give nice speeches. Thanks again, MC.

I've always loved Miley's rendition of Jolene as in the Backyard Sessions clip. That's when I realized she could actually sing. Award shows.....never. And if they're at all political, it's even worse.
