My sister sent an email to the "Dr. Phil Show" about her marriage to Nate... how he is so abusive and everything. Well shock of shocks.. they called her and asked her to come on the show! They also called Nate and asked him to be on the show. They paid for their flights (including Robyn), fancy hotel (she and Robyn were across town from where Nate was staying), 300 dollars spending money each day for each of them, they sent Julie to a dentist and had her teeth fixed, gave her a makeover... everything. She told him about me on camera.. so I have my little '15 minutes (or seconds) of fame'.... she said that I'm mentally ill but that despite it i get up every day (lol except yesterday.. i was 3 hours late for work because i took too many sedatives the night before) and go to work and that i've taken her and Robyn in and supported them financially and everything... and he said that he commends me and Ken for doing that and that more families should be like that but unfortunately that sort of thing is becoming very rare. I don't know when the show will air.. we're still waiting to hear. But they got to walk around beverly hills... and they saw the set where they are filming 'Mission Impossible 3"... they said Tom Cruise was there but they didn't get to see him.

As for me...I've been going through kind of a spiritual crisis/identity sort of thing. I'll get through it though. With lots of prayer and meditation... and contemplation. i could use a little of Maz's philosophy courses... ehe.. I am also continuing with my piano lessons. slowly but surely. I am very determined to learn the piano and all those little symbols and squigglies on sheet music... that seems to be the focus right now.. technique and learning squiggles... i have progressed however, to 'yankee doodle dandy' and 'row row row your boat'... LOL ... sigh.. well i'll get to the good stuff soon. i've been instructed to remember "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" and "All Cows Eat Grass" and "FACE" lol it sounds funny but i imagine if any of you play music you know the phrases too.
