A Day Long Remembered...

So I haven't been writing like I have in the past. As you know from my most recent blog, we have a recent edition to the family and life has been hectic. Matter of fact I'm writing this from home right now as Lil Bit has kept me out of work all week battling bronchial pneumonia. She is doing a lot better now but won't be returning to her normal routines til Monday.

Yet, that's not why I'm writing today. Today marks the anniversary of the premiere of Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show on Cartoon Network. It launched a whole new group of people into a Star Wars fandom which leads to today: October 3rd, 2014. Tonight at 9:00 PM EST, A new chapter begins. The long anticipate premiere of Star Wars Rebels hits our TVs tonight on Disney XD!





The anticipation for this new show has been building since it was announced and The Clone Wars ended. Of course, Disney and Lucasfilm have released a number of clips and promos, all keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. 

My anticipation for this show has been enhanced by the fact I have blessed to have been able to meet the majority of the cast of Rebels at Star Wars Weekends this year. Vanessa Marshall, Tiya Sircar, Steve Blum, and Taylor Gray were incredible to meet and each was so excited to be apart of the Star Wars Universe. Seeing their fan friendly natures and their true excitement was awe inspiring!

I can honestly say I didn't think this day would arrive!

My plans have changed for the premiere. I was planning on a big get together with fellow Star Wars fans, but with Lil Bit's illness, I'm going to be watching it alone, in my Star Wars room. Sorry Robbie! After its all said and done, I'll be "attending" a Google Hangout hosted by the Cantina Cast (a Star Wars fan podcast) to hear thoughts and first impressions of the new episode. Then I'll blog my own thoughts here while waiting on Craig Dickinson's review to hit the Coffee With Kenobi website in the morning. 

This is going to be a lot of fun!

I can't remember if I have mentioned this or not yet, but I'm also blogging one a month for the Star Wars podcast Coffee With Kenobi. My posts go up on the 28th of each month so go check them out at here. There are a lot of other great bloggers there too, check them out while you are there.

As for me I'm going to wrap this up for now. Lil Bit is calling. So until next time...

Live long and prosper,

May the Force be with you,

but more importantly, may God's blessing and love be with you all the days of your life.

So I know it's been a while since I have posted anything. There has been spot going on in my life lately that has kept me away from fandom and blogging for a little while longer than I wanted. I'm trying to catch up here at my daughter'a piano lesson. First off thanks to all you who have sent messages and comments of support for my family. For those who aren't aware and one of the reasons I've been away, my 90 year old grandmother is in her last days with us. And since this was an overnight change in her health, I had to make an emergency trip to Alabama to see her, which heartbreakingly will most likely be the last time. I'm blessed with a great job who worked with me to get me up there to say my good byes and is continuing to work with me  to get my princess to school while my parents are still up there with my grandmother. I'm blessed and grateful for my cousin who is giving of herself day in and day out to take care of Mammaw in these last days and ma

Social Media Blackout and the Future...

HAPPY 2019!!!! Yes, I know, I’m a month late.  If you know me, and/or follow me on social media, you know that on December 17, 2018, I signed out of all my personal social media accounts across the board. My last post on each account contained a letter with a brief explanation and a time frame for my return: February 1, 2019. Well, its officially February 1, 2019.  I’m back ya’ll!  Miss me? Well, I missed ya’ll and I have a lot to say. So this is the first in a series of blogs you will see coming hard and fast about a variety of different topics so stay tuned. This one is going to be a little more serious as I discuss a question I have been asked a lot over the last month and half. It will be a long one so please, bear with me. <insert bear growling noise here>
