Hanging with Keith

Other than the music being a little too loud for my taste and Keith's bracelet hitting me in the head I had a good time hanging out with the guys. Of course my brother as usual tried to get all the attention.

Sandra's Heartbreak

After hearing about Jesse's dreadful behavior, I immediately rushed over to Sandra's to help her in any way I could. We decided to leave the house with Ruby right away so Sandra could have privacy and time to think about her situation. Poor thing; she's such a nice girl!

The Aztec's

Those Aztec warriors who demonstrated the most bravery and who fought well became either jaguar or eagle warriors. Of all of the Aztec warriors, they were the most feared. Having been given a lance and shield I have a feeling that something may be expected of me.

Skydiving?

My brother Loxy convinced me that a good way to spend part of a day would be to go skydiving. He was experienced having had over 50 jumps. I was a novice, the look on my face may give you an idea of my thoughts on the experience.

What a Dunk!

I came up one assist shy of a triple-double, finishing with 17 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. This dunk shot was my best of the night.

Radio City Rockettes

The opportunity to be part of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and dance with the Rockettes was totally awesome. It reminded me of the days when I danced with the Ziegfield Follies just 80 years ago! Our dancing then was flawless and today the Rockettes are nearly flawless too, though I thought their costumes were a bit skimpy.

With The Ziegfeld Girls

Ziggy just loved me in the Follies. Sometimes I'd perform just to please him, he was such a dear man!

Climbing Mt. Everest

The climb to the top of Mt. Everest was brutal. Lucky for me my climbing partner Emmett decided to help me out and carry me the last 350 feet of the way. The next time I make this trek I plan to dress more appropriately.

As Leonardo's Model

My husband, Francesco del Giocondo, was great friends with Leonardo.

I really enjoyed dressing in the latest Florentine fashion for this one, though my stylist said I should have worn more color!

Now, I'm hanging in the Musee du Louvre in Paris and people often wonder what I was thinking while Leonardo was painting me.


Our little secret now that enough time has passed ...
I was thinking about Michaelangelo and the last time we'd met.

Travels In Europe

My girlfriends and I traveled in Europe one summer during college.

Here we are in Florence.

My friends tried going incognito because the Italian guys were driving us crazy, but I didn't mind all the attention! I thought "ciao bella" was the perfect name for me!

Meeting The Queen

It was an honor to meet the Queen but, I expected better treatment. Given my distinguished history I at least expected to be held by her at this event. Instead she made me stand on a stool and pretty much ignored my presence.

Photo Op

Wearing my new red hat I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a photo taken with my good friends the Obama's. Bo was outside playing with a cat and digging holes in the yard.

My brother the "Ace"

My brother was quite the "ace" during the second world war. Not only did he have the most kills in his unit he had quite the reputation for being a ladies man.

Hand of God

When God stretched out his right arm to impart the spark of life from his own finger into that of Adam, I was in awe. I was blessed to be there that day, it was simply divine!

Neytiri of the Omaticaya

Neytiri and I became close friends when I helped her and Jake unite thousands of warriors from many Na'vi clans in a bid to repel the humans. I hope to return to her land someday to see how things have worked out.

The Supreme Court

I can't believe the recent decision allowing unlimited contributions by anonymous corporations to elections. I've had a long and varied career on the Supreme Court but now with two other women on board I feel like it's time to retire. The "activist" judges are another reason for my leaving though I don't want to name names.

Trip to Dallas

The last time I was in Dallas the Cowboys called me to get their cheer leading squad straightened out. Not an easy task. I guess we'll have to wait for the new season to see if I was successful.

Sometimes ....

Sometimes the best way to spend a day is to hang out with someone you really like.

Trip to China

I just got back from a trip to China where my friend Mike needed some help. We worked 16 hour days to get the ship behind me ready for its maiden voyage.

The Great Wall

When not working on the ship I took many side trips. One being to the Great Wall where I met this nutcase who was walking the wall on his front legs.

Condi before Congress

She's got a lot of nerve, everyone who disagrees with this statement raise their hand.

Mt. Rushmore

While passing through South Dakota awhile back a waitress in a diner suggested I try out for a vacant spot on Mt. Rushmore. To my surprise I was chosen to have my likeness up there with George and the guys.

At Yellowstone

Last summer the family took me to Yellowstone Park. It was my first time there and I was lucky to meet up with and hang with a buffalo mom and her calf.

The Family Guy

Whenever Brian is in town with his family we try to hook up. Usually we have a bite to eat and then go for a romp in the park.

Watch me dancing

Visiting with Bill

Whenever I saw Bill he would insist that my hair was perfect. I saw a new stylist this time but we weren't that pleased with the results.

With "Dubya"

Towards the end of his last term "Dubya" invited me back to the White House to discuss his legacy. We were both disturbed by the things we had talked about.

Me with Obama

I had the opportunity when I was last in D.C. to spend some time with my good friend Barack.

Hitting the beach

The guys were anxious to hit the beach to hang out and party. I didn't think it was such a good idea and decided to stay on board for the ride back to the ship.

Corps of Discovery

These native Americans were a tough group to bargain with. Lewis and Clark finally offered 3 beads and a worn out shoe to cross their land. It was touch and go there for awhile.
