Happy Birthday Tulips: One Hell Of A Lady!

How much do you love and worship your Mother?
 
Divine Man does more then anyone knows. Tulips is not just my Mother, she is the one, the one and only person that wanted me. She experienced great loss in hopes of conceiving and they eventually adopted. He was their gift.

A few years later Tulips walked into a family party and the first scent of Pizza, and she ran into the bathroom. After experiencing morning sickness, she emerged…And as she approached Big Daddy, she said “I am pregnant.”

Eight months later Divine Man was born. The Miracle child.

I was born with yellow jawness, and my mother, my champion would not leave the hospital until they let me leave with her. So even then, from the beginning Tulips was my protector.

My mother Tulips and I have had our fare share of laughs, disagreements, growing pains, and more laughs…
One afternoon Tulips and I walked up to the local Hardee’s drive thru, and we were laughing hysterically at the thought of this. We got to the window on foot and ordered, in between laughs…

My mother Tulips, she is the MOST amazing woman that I have ever had the privilege of knowing.
She is the one person that always comes running when I have a nightmare.  Tulips and I have the same exact eyes, and we have a strong connection, that we both can feel even when we are thousands of miles apart.  We know when the other is in pain.  She has always believed in me, my dreams and my hopes.

Tulips is a saint in my eyes, and in the eyes of so many others.  She is my beacon of light, because of her strength and her love I always know where home is.

She WAS the PTO in grade school, she was the greatest of all mothers, and still is.

Mom, do you remember the day that I dressed up as you? And then you dressed up as me in my Hocus Pocus costume? Remember the day we discovered the pictures of each of us as kids and we looked identical?

Remember the first time I said “I Love You Mommy?”

We have had so many wonderful and yet trying moments, but Moi would never change anything. If I could take you away from all the negativity in life I would. We could sit together on the beach in paradise. We would laugh, gossip, look at the eye candy, and enjoy fruity drinks with umbrellas in them.
 
Happy Birthday Tulips!

I love you with all my heart,

Divine Man

Moi's Great Midwest Top 10 List: What I learned while in Wisconsin

The scent of morning rain, lilacs in bloom, fire flies dancing in the summer nights sky, skinny dipping in the quarry pond with your true love, 4th of July picnics, the scent of burning leaves, the first snow flakes and mulled cider.

 
10. It is only in Wisconsin that people are concerned about how this years pumpkin crop will be.

9. Only here in the Midwest can you experience a true fish fry, complete with freshly made tartar sauce, rye bread, fries dripping with grease, homemade coleslaw, and locally freshly caught fish.

8. Where else can you ride your horse to the cheese shop for fresh, warm, squeaky cheese-curds.

7. The people of Wisconsin are different then any other, they are the hardest working, genuine, real, sure you have your petty ones, cranky ones and even deadbeats but nothing beats the hospitality of the people here. Whether it be family, friends or strangers.

6. The drivers here are like those in Paradise, minus the high amount of U-Turns. They sit at the green lights and sleep I think?

5. Only here can you be amazed and delighted with Amish made refreshing homemade ice-cream, farm fresh eggs, smokey slab thick bacon and peaceful hot summer nights.

4. In Wisconsin, Sundays are filled with nachos, wieners in the sauce, Shlitz, green and gold bread rings, BBQ and the Packers.

3. Kick ass Pizza

2. Corn Mazes that span 10 acres, apple orchards, hay rides, and tapped maple syrup.

1. Family: blood IS thicker then water.

A Summer Hiatus: A Tale Of Two Cities

While I have been in the Great Midwest, Somewhere in Small Town America, I have learned new things, lessons, re-visited old places and looked back and now forward.

What I have learned while on my summer hiatus:

People, wise people say home is where the heart is. But is it? Mine is in 2 places. Home is where you come from, where you were born and with those you call family. A House is just a house until love enters, then pain, laughter, tears, memories, and nightmares. All these things create a home. Mine is a tale of two cities: Small Town America and Paradise!

When I left Paradise in April I was eager to see my family, friends and continue the saga of Divine Man. I came back to “home1” to see Doctor FeelGood, de-clutter my life, and take on a new role.

While here I realized that it is perfectly ok finding a safe happy feeling, even if it is not at “home,” that when you go someplace new, you take parts of “home” with you. You take with you life. Life experiences, hurts, joys, lessons, stories, wisdom and memories.

Moi also knows that there is no other place for the VERY BEST Pizza then Joe’s Fox Hut in Fond du Lac, WI. Whether you are in NYC, Cali, or Alaska you need to make the flight or drive to FDL and experience Joe’s Fox Hut Pizza.

One can only experience the magic of a summer’s hot evening as the sun sets, while watching in merriment as the fire flies dance all around. Sometimes, there really is no place like home.
Or, where can you attend car shows, corn roasts, and go apple picking like at The Little Farmer.


Sometimes in life we have to leave in order to appreciate what is in our own backyards.

Thank You, Stitches and All!

Moi's surgery(Sept.15th) was successful, only time will tell how perfect it really was.


There is nothing better then having the parts of your body shaved, that never should be.  There is nothing better then being stitched, sliced and diced.  There is nothing more exhilarating then having a sponge bath by a sexy blonde nurse with blue eyes that sparkled like the crystal blue waters of the tropics, named Kate-Lynn. 

There is nothing better then knowing so many people care about Moi!  Thank You for each of you, your kind words, your thoughts, your letters, your words, and all the offers of sponge baths, foot massages, and toe-nail clippings!


Thank You, from the bottom of my stitches to the top of my pretty head!


Thank You

Dreams: Never Give Up!

We all have dreams, hopes, goals and even aspirations that some of us never tell another living person about. Some share their dream(s) within a journal of privacy, or some share with the world?

I have always thought that in order to make your dreams come true, become reality that you need to be “discovered” by the right person. Or you need to be in the right place at the right time. I also thought that you needed to come from wealth to be someone. While each of these all might have truth to them, I am beginning to believe and feel in my heart that perhaps the one person that needs to believe in me, is myself.

To really, truly believe in oneself, well it sometimes can take an overwhelming amount of courage, self sacrifice or maybe that’s just it. Maybe always sacrificing oneself for someone, others is what you need to stop doing? Just a raised question? Anyways, it also requires you to learn how to take your fear and cultivate it, re-mold it into strength, power. Create something from your core, your mind and your dreams.

We all want something in this life. Something simple, grand, huge, small, or genuine…whatever it may be it is attainable. All you need to do is fight for it, love it, breathe it, create it, and never give up hope.

Sometimes we have to go get our destiny, it does not always find us. I guess it is a time sensitive thing!

A Few Stones And Nurse McFantasy

Newsflash: Do you remember the 3 Nuts, the 3 tata’s, well now Doctor FeelGood has told me after numerous tests, like blood being sucked out of my perfect body, having a rectal search, checking my liver, my pancreas, and then after a few more tests Doc FeelGood informs Moi I have stones, not pebbles, but freakin’ stones in this perfect temple, can you imagine, Moi having stones?

So next week Thursday, Sept.15th Moi will go under the knife yet again. I am like a dam turkey, or quilt. I have been stuffed, stitched, poked, zipped and sliced and diced. Thursday Doc FeelGood will remove my Gallbladder and all it’s stones. I was suppose to have it done already on the 1st, but I have been working deep undercover for a good part of the Summer. All will be revealed soon. Let’s just say this: It is amazing what one can buy for $1.00

Today while I was having blood taken I met the nurse that will be with me through the whole surgery(before and after…house calls too) and I could not be happier! My nurse is 32, dark hair, dark eyes, chiseled jaw line, buff body, pecs and a stomach to was clothes on, and the thighs on this nurse….wow, this nurse was like something out of a magazine. I can not wait until the sponge baths start. Or the bandage dressing changes…dam, Moi should have more surgeries if it means having a nurse like this. Did I mention the booty on this nurse….yummmmmy. Or the way my name was spoken when I was asked to remove my…shoes so I could be weighed, which I will have you know Moi has lost 20 lbs! Thank You, Thank You…

Anywho…Nurse McFantasy was all about taking my pulse…

Stay tuned…

Pizzarro Pizazz Pizza Ala Divine Dip!

Do you ever wonder why people say “bring a dish to pass” when you are invited to a soiree? Instead of just saying “could you prepare your favorite recipe to share.”

Moi recently attended The Annual Picnic Of The Sisters And Brothers Of The Hills Of Saint Body Waxing…Moi prepared a favorite party pleaser, loved by hundreds, maybe thousands…

It is called: Pizzarro Pizazz Pizza Ala Divine Dip
 Recipe: A large crystal, plastic, china, cardboard, whatever you want to use.
Select a tray.

4 packages of low fat cream cheese, let it soften so that it is very spread able
Homemade/Store Bought Pizza/Marinara Sauce
2lbs. Of Mozzarella Cheese
2 Garden Fresh tomatoes
Sliced Pepperoni, or you can chop it up
1 chopped Vidalia or sweet onion
Crackers or ripped apart Italian Bread
 
Spread Cream Cheese on Tray, then apply and layer the Pizza Sauce, then sprinkle and spread out the Mozzarella Cheese.

Next, place the Pepperoni on top, followed by the diced tomatoes, onions, and any extra remaining sauce.

Use the Crackers or Italian Bread for dipping, smearing and enjoying the dip!
 
 
 
 
 

I Put A Spell On You!

The winds of change are beginning to occur yet again, the morning air is cooler, the leaves are changing colors, soup is sounding really good, and it has brought about some inspiration in Moi!

Each year Moi selects a new costume for my favorite holiday…All Hallows Eve aka Halloween. It is the one night that the spirits can roam the earth freely, and they do!

Anywho…for the past 7 years Moi has had his annual Costume Extravaganza called “Pumpkins At Twilight” however this year Moi will be headed to the happiest place on earth, Disney World. Moi has been asked to be a VIP, and the Host of the Halloween Festival(except Disney does not know it yet) and naturally I will arrive in high style with this years totally over-the-top fabulous delightfully down right evil and wicked costume! Oh, Moi never tells what costume I will step out in, it is always a SURPRISE!

However I will give you a hint: She Will Prick Her Finger On The Spindle of A Spinning Wheel And Die…
Over the years Moi has had some wonderful costumes, all designed and coordinated by yours truly. The first year I began this love affair with Halloween I felt compelled to attend an event as the lovely(and my favorite wicked broad) Winifred Sanderson of Hocus Pocus aka Bette Midler. Just like Scarlett I too used my velvet drapes to supply my seamstress with the fabric for my frock. I looked high and low for all the right accessories to complete the outfit. I found my teeth at The Mall Of America, my handmade broom at the Renaissance Festival in Shakopee, MN. My ring came from a magic shop in Stillwater, MN and big lovely locks of flaming red hair were found in Fond du Lac, WI at the mall. One never knows where I will find my accessories. And I never, never buy a costume pre-made. NEVER!!!

Then one year I donned The Phantom Of The Opera complete with theatrical facial scar(which I created with liquid latex, make-up and fake blood). The next year I was transformed into Cinderella with glass slippers ready for the ball with Prince Charming at my side. Another year Moi was Carol Channing in Hello Dolly, The Evil Queen from Snow White, and this year I will be…
