I hope your Mother’s Day is restful and fulfilling, even in the smallest of ways. I’m spoiling myself with a day of writing, updating my blogs and making some essential to do lists to keep the momentum that I’ve lost. I’ve had a lovely lunch, enjoyed my lovely daughters (really lovely) and I’ve had an occasional romp outside with them here and there, okay, maybe not a romp, I just enjoyed the breeze and the sounds of the birds and made sure they were still alive if Daddy hadn’t yet. Meanwhile hubby is working on the honey do list.
This is not soap related. We could have a Mother’s Day game perhaps but I’m leaning toward a little diversion for Mother’s Day from one of today’s funniest puppeteers (not for children). Jeff Dunham is a funny man; perhaps funnier is one of his sidekick puppets, Peanut. It looks like they have some holiday greetings just for us mommies.
If you like Jeff Dunham and can get out of the house visit StubHub for dates and tickets. Otherwise if you can’t and want some evening entertainment for family and friends. Check out a Jeff Dunham DVD or two.
I thought I’d be sharing news of GuidingLight.net, the snazzy new website fans should be checking out, man, I wish there was one of these for all the soaps, I need a little map of Port Charles to put X’s next to each of the GH mob war hits that have taken place and are about to take place, but now Guiding Light has got the cutest little home page.
Meanwhile every other site in the www is talking about the announcement of April 1st that Guiding Light will be cancelled, of course with the note “this is not an April Fool’s Day joke.” Thanks for that, as all the bloggers put the pause on to see if it was.
Well, guess it wasn’t, and if that wasn’t bad enough for Guiding Light fans alone, soapcentral .com leaves us running scared at the fate of our personal favorite soap operas.
I won’t hang the RIP Guiding Light sign on the door just yet, we’ll be hopeful and carry a wait and see attitude. If you are a fan, still checkout GuidingLight.net, it is still worth a look see.
Dazzled by Ethan Lovett’s accent and perhaps looks? Maybe not as much as Tracy, but do you think you’d like to get to know him a bit better? Or figure out who he is (has to be Luke’s son, that theory has my vote anyway)? Or perhaps you’d just like the recipe to a few of his drinks. Robin decided to visit the Haunted Star for refreshment while she was running from her baby…boy do I have a rant on that…I digress…what was his drink suggestion for her? That’s right, a Strawberry Stripper, and The Inside Soap has the recipe.
Recipe: Strawberry Stripper
Fill a Collins glass with ice. Then add 1 ½ oz. strawberry flavored Schnapps, 1 drop of Cream and 5 oz. of Orange Juice, then stir.
I don’t know about you, but that sounds great and definitely should be served with some chocolate or cake…or chocolate cake…yum.
I’ll try not to be distracted by Ethan and catch more of his drink offerings in the future. Don’t forget to drink responsibly.
Oh it happened, they’ve consummated that marriage and of course the question on everybody’s mind is not will it last or how soon will Sonny find out that Claudia had something to do with Michael lying in a coma, or better yet, does Sonny still love Kate, no none of that is on anybody’s mind. What is on everybody’s mind is what was that song playing on General Hospital during the love scene? You know you want to know. I admit I wanted to know too.
We’ll The Inside Soap has tracked down the song, “We Keep Trying” written by Rie Sinclair Jayson Belt and Bobby Hartry and the artist singing the beautiful song is Jen Hartry (see update note below). I’ve linked to Bobby Hartry’s MySpace page. The song “We Keep Trying” sung by Jen Hartry from the big Sonny and Claudia moment on General Hospital can be found on Bobby Hartry’s site. Jen’s voice reminds me of another artist whose name escapes me at this moment, but if it comes to me I’ll leave a comment here.
So did you like the fact that Sonny and Claudia are becoming an item or the suspense of when it will all fall apart…or did you just like the song?

Update - Please read the comments to this post as Jen Hartry visited and corrected some of the information we’ve found. Jen IS the artist singing “We Keep Trying” and we thank her for officiating at The Inside Soap.
