Twitter

It seems that everyone is doing it from politicians, to TV personalities, singers, newspapers, you name it, everybody is doing it, including me. Check out my widget on the side and follow me. It's a pretty cool site, just short little sentences to tell what you are doing/thinking. I have to remind myself to go do it, but I am trying to get used to it. Hope to see some tweets from you. Go here and start "tweeting". www.twitter.com

Steve and Kayla's Exit (or non-exit)

So it has been about a month since Steve and Kayla were last seen on Days of Our Lives. So since I have cooled down, as they were my favorites and the reason I came back to Days, I have to say that they got screwed royally! They have barely been given a storyline in the past 10 months and they didn't even get a decent sendoff. They were last seen in the hospital and that was it. Supposedly they are still in Salem, somewhere, with little Joe. Hell, they're getting more mention now that they are not on air anymore than when they were actually there. In a way I am glad that they didn't have closure on them because the Hack would have definitely gave them more of a screwing than Marlena and John or Tony and Anna. And let's not forget what she did to Roscoe or Blake.

Days missed the boat on Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans. No other daytime couple ever brought the highest ratings that this show has ever seen. Both are excellent actors and there are so many different storylines they could have given them. The one that I would have like to see the most is Victor and Steve going at each other since Philip and Stephanie are on now.

I got hooked on Days from the first time Steve "Patch" showed up in Salem. I loved that bad ass dude and still do.



While he was working for Victor he then went to Cleveland to get Kayla back to Salem. I loved him in that nurses hat with that yellow rose, which woudl become a symbol of Steve and Kayla's love story. He was such a good "bad" guy. It's not wonder that TPTB decided to keep him on instead of being a character that breezed in and out of town in a flash.



The love story of Steve and Kayla had it all! Back then there was no internet to check out what was going to happen next on Prevuze or any other spoiler site. I actually looked forward to watching Days every day and in fact even missed work on occasion because I was not sure if that damned VCR was going to work or not. My favorite of all scenes has to be the poisoning rescue scene. Any time that Steve was climbing through a window with a knife hanging out of his mouth and then add to that the emotion that only Stephen Nichols can do, well damn, he should have won an Emmy long ago. And even though a lot of people couldn't stand that song, I loved If Your Heart Comes Out Tonight.



I could post a million clips, and will post more I'm sure in another post, but I will miss Steve and Kayla and will continue to work to bring them back. It seems like if you over 40 on this show, you are shit! Here's hoping that TPTB see the light and realize what they have lost in Steve and Kayla and that their story is not over yet.

Introducing Logan Michael


This blog is all about my newest grandson, Logan Michael. Isn't he cute. He made his appearance on March 9, 2009 at 11:26 p.m. weighing in at 8 lbs. 5 oz and 21 inches long. He had us worried for a little bit of time, but all in all he is perfect, and he has the biggest feet I have ever seen on a baby. He got a little boogered up on his way here, but that has cleared up nicely. He had a bit of jaundice, but that is all better now. I guess he was a little shy because he waited until everyone left the hospital and then he decided he was ready to show up even though the midwife said that it was going to be quite a while until he was born. I guess he didn't want an audience. He certainly has one now. I just want to say thank you to his mom and dad for such a beautiful grandson. He has definitely stolen the hearts of everyone, especially this grammy.
