Afternoon Diva Break: Stephanie Mills - Home

Stephanie Mills shot to stardom in 1975 after being cast as Dorothy in the Broadway musical The Wiz. This was largely due to Mills' stunning performance of Home, which became her signature and is one of my favorite songs of all time:

Home Is Where The Luggage Is

Yes, I made it back to NYC last night - and I must say there were no problems on either Amtrak or the NYC Subway. I WAS a little surprised to see piles of snow inside the subway station (like the ones above) - but the streets were plowed and the sidewalks were shoveled. But DAMN - this city got a ton of snow. I'm kinda sad that I missed it - NYC is at its best during a crisis. Although I can't say the same for our billionaire Mayor - Mike "Deal With It" Bloomberg.

Anywhore, I spent all last night petting kitties, opening mail (thanks for the cards everyone!), and did I mention petting kitties?? Also, Mom and Dad both got Oscar and Dusty presents (yes, we are THOSE KIND of cat people) - so there were treats to distribute and catnip to deal out like a drug kingpin. Thank goodness for the kitty treats, because after all this catnip my two stoner cats are bound to get the munchies.

Posting will be very light today - because I'm going to relax, deal some more catnip (too bad I can't get paid for that), and maybe even do some laundry.

How was YOUR Christmas??
