T.F.T.D. #23 (Where They Are Now?)

Ever wonder what your favorite childhood stars are up to now? Flipping through the channels this morning, I caught one of my favorite childhood shows on and, since I hadn't heard anything about them since their screen days, immediately wondered where these actors are at now. Here are a couple: :)

Mindy, Mork and Mindy (Pam Dawber): No longer acting, but is involved in Big Brothers, Little Sisters and "EyeQ" (assists reading speed and comprehension). Dawber is married with two sons, Sean and Ty.

Punky Brewster (Soleil Moon Frye): Still working in the film industry (even directing), has been married for about 10 years and just had her second daughter, Jagger Blue (first daughter: Poet, talk about them names! Well, her name is Sun Moon).

Nicholas Martin in McGee and Me! (Joseph Dammann): Still acting and working in reality T.V. production (including The Bachelor--strange to think of him doing that ;) ).



Mr. Belvedere (Christopher Hewitt): He died in 2001 from complications with diabetes. :( However, I am currently reading Julie Andrew's amazing biography and was very surprised to find out from this research that she and Hewitt both debuted on Broadway together (My Fair Lady, 1956)! :)

Webster (Emmanuel Lewis): This childhood star brought his own record label, Emmanuel Lewis Entertainment, to the scene in 2000 and is now jumping back into acting (Doesn't Texas Ever End).

Vici the Robot, Small Wonder (Tiffany Brissette): No longer acting, Brissette, enjoys horseback riding and is a counselor in San Diego for children and young adults.

Ted McGriff, Hey Dude! (David Lascher): Still acting and is married with two kids.

Michelle, Full House (Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen): J/K!

Stephanie Tanner, Full House (Jodie Sweetin): Sweetin is no longer acting, but is excited about teaching. Recently married (2007), Sweetin just had her first child, a baby girl named Zoie.

T.F.T.D. #22 (Engagement)

My sisses' engagement photos from the Presidio (San Francisco) turned out SO cute! She's a good little model and this one's totally classic. :)

T.F.T.D. #21 (Luxury)

Driving is now a luxury (fit in everyone you can! :) ).

T.F.T.D. #20 (Thinking)

A couple cool quotes for the day from Thinking for a Change by John Maxwell: "...stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible." A belief in the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible." 29

" ...call it what you like: the will to succeed, belief in yourself, confidence in your ability, faith. It's really true: people who believe they can't, don't. But if you believe you can, you can! That's the power ..." 170

T.F.T.D. #19 (The Bachelor)

I cannot believe that I actually got sucked into The Bachelor. I had only ever seen one episode before. Through watching the ads and that one show, it appeared that most of the ladies seemed extremely superficial and, while I surprisingly noticed that the show actually had some depth, you can't help but think, "Who in their right mind would put themselves through that?!" And I'm talking about the guy or the girls, take your pick. Blak! (It seems kind of barbaric, too.) However, as much as I kind of hated to admit it, the show did intrigue me.

Then, as today was my last "official" day at work (remember, I'm a teacher and it's now summer :) ), I took a few minutes to sit back and enjoy flipping through some channels. Extremely unfortunely, there was a Bachelor marathon on... After 10 minutes, I was hooked and, after a couple of episodes, my roomie had to go to sleep and I had to turn the lights out. and then the TV somehow switched off the Bachelor marathon channel. "Oh no!" I thought as he was down to only three girls (one had just gone off in a sea of tears--ugh...). That's when I found myself frantically searching for the right channel and, fhew, found it. I put the DVR on record and will find out tomorrow who will become Mrs. Firestone. I can't wait!

Pathetic, isn't it? :)

T.F.T.D. #18 (Here we go!)

Here we go! This one's perfect (except that it's a guy, of course :) ). That is exactly how I feel.

T.F.T.D. #18 (Paperwork Procrastination)

Whewww... When getting through paperwork (esp. paperwork you've procrastinated about for endless months), it feels like a boulder falling off your back. Cliche, yes, but oh so true!!

P.S. - I think this blondie should look even more in angst than she does...
