What If

Einstein is seen here asking, "What if I lick that frozen metal pole?"

"What if...?" A question pondered by all the great Greek philosophers and smart people throughout time, (mostly though they were Greeks who taught others to ask this question.)  Regardless, it's quite the deep thought if you ask me.  The possibilities are endless.  Two words can help cure cancer, inspire greatness, lead to ending hunger or in Mr. Brick's case help decide on if he will wear his circa 1986 high-wasted flare legged white jeans or not.  "What if I wear my white jeans today?" Okay, wait! I gotta stop right there, I just had a mental image that was just really bad for this Greek Girl's noggin. White jeans on Mr. Bricks is like the Pope wearing a speedo or Lady Gaga wearing a turtleneck.  Either way, it's just plain wrong.

Anyway, back to the question at hand.  "What if..?"

It really makes me wonder, "What if Mr. Bricks can actually mentally go deeper than anything other than fastfood?" Here is my impersonation of 5 minutes in the mind of Mr. Bricks as he makes his lunch selection:

"What if McDonald's ever stopped making the McRib?" Would I find a way to survive? "What if McDonald's would make a Green Diet Coke Milkshake?" Maybe I should patent that and sell it to them in exchange for a lifetime of fries.  What if McDonald's joined forces with Slim Jim and made Slim Jim French Fries?" That would be great, then I could have a lifetime of Slim Jim fries of course after I patent that and sell it for a lifetime of McRibs of course.  "What if McDonald's changed the #1 meal deal to be a Double McRib with Slim-Jim fries and a Green Diet Coke Milkshake?"  Then his brain would instantly freeze and he'd become like one of those wax figures in Maddam Tusseau's wax museum. (Side note: no matter how famous I ever get I never want to be embodied in a wax sculpture.  That is by far one of the most creepy things ever invented.)

Okay, like I was saying.  Every great philosopher has always asked "What if?" It is kind of how we get everything around us to be made or invented.  Questions like:

"What if the world were round?" - Columbus 1492

"What if we could travel through time?" - Einstein 1930's (still working on this one)

"What if I could walk on the moon?" - Neil Armstrong 1960

"What if we protest the tax on tea?" - American Patriots 1776

"What makes this apple fall to the ground instead of float away?" - Newton 1500's

"What if we gave peace a chance?" - John Lennon  1969

"What if we could make tasty delivery pizza?" - Papa John 1984

"What if we sell coffee in Styrofoam cups?" - Mr. Donut 1956

Sometimes I ask, "What if Mr. Bricks DID get me a record deal?" Then I would be able to buy all those glorious new sneakers I got my eye on.  Or "What if John Rzeznik from the Goo-Goo Dolls were to produce my next album?" Then I would most definitely have my first, second and third Grammy in no time.  This leads me to ask "What if I do become really famous, will they make one of those creepy wax sculptures of me anyway?" My goodness I hope not.

Have a blessed day,

Ava

The Girl Next Door

Ava Aston: Your Greek Girl Next Door

I think I am the perfect girl next door. What person in their right noggin would not want to have this Greek blonde girl as their neighbor? Think of the money you will save on entertainment.  Cable bill too high? No worries, just watch my daily muckery for your amusement! It's much better than anything on TV. You can think of it as your very own neighborhood reality series. Want a pet, but don't want the responsibilities? No worries one of my four escape artist dogs will wander your property too at all hours of the day. Leave the door open, and it's like putting down a bowl of Kibble with their name on it. They will walk right in. Don't worry, I have trained them not to take anything that can't be pawned that doesn't belong to them. But watch out for Punkin, she's got sticky paws, just sayin'.

I've been known to lace up the sneakers and bolt out the door for something at the all-night market if I needed to. My house is the one on the block that seems to almost always have some lights on 24/7. And guess what? They are those old-fashion-invented-by-Thomas-Edison-but-now-throw-me-jail-for-still-using-them light bulbs! So neighbor, if you ever need a cup of sugar come on over, don't worry about the time. But I should warn you that I don't have that real white crap. Who do you think I am? Mr. Bricks? Real sugar rots your teeth and makes your butt big. So as your neighborhood nutritionist, I will load you up with handfuls of those little white and green packets of Truvia and while I am at it, I will give you more than an earful of the harmful effects of sugar on the body. Truvia is a natural sweetener and it is all that I use because it is so much healthier than real raw or processed sugar. And neighbor, please feel free to think of this Greek girl if you are making your little tykes that daily batch of Kraft Mac & Cheese and realize you don't have any milk. Consider me your go-to Greek gal for your last-minute milk needs as well. However, I should fess up, I don't drink/use normal milk either. You're gonna have to accept my lactose free skim milk, Moo Milk or Soy Milk for your little curtain climber's Mac &  Cheese, that's how I roll.

If you happen to be a bachelor or an elderly person living next door to me and you pop a button (from eating too much sugar no doubt) and need some one to sew it back on....don't come knocking on my door, because I don't do needle and thread. For all of my alterations I go to the tailors down the street, run by the cutest older Asian  couple.  (I know, an Asian couple running a tailor's shop in New York, what are the odds?) But they are just like family too me.  The wife always greets me by name and says the same thing every time...."Ava, you so tiny. Why you not eat so much"  Cracks me up. I just adore them.

This is just a little glimpse into what it would be like to live next door to this Greek blonde girl. I promise never a dull moment! I do travel a lot, so it's not like I'd be a female Eddie Haskell or anything.

So, won't you be my neighbor?

Blessings,

Ava

My First Sold Out Concert

I am so excited about my new web-based cartoon series that I am calling, Ava the Diva.It will give you a glimpse of what life is like behind the velvet ropes of the music industry through the eyes of a total Diva.  So everyone will finally get to see what Mr. Bricks is really, really like. Can you believe Mr. Bricks accepted my payment for a concert in McRib sandwiches, instead of cash. See what I am talking about? See what the Greek girl must endure. You try walking a mile in my iron sneaker with old man Bricks around. It is not easy.

This first story of Ava the Diva is in two parts. You will have to wait until next week to see Part 2 and see what happens, you wont believe it!!!!! Trust me when I say there will be plenty of muckery. These new cartoons will be posted on my Youtube channel, as well as you will be able to see them at my new GoAnimate channel:                    

Ava Aston's GoAnimate Channel

If you like what you see, you can help me out by spreading the word and sharing the cartoon. It is my hope that this will generate enough interest to be able to have the opportunity to do an Ava the Diva animated series on a TV network.

Enjoy,

Blessings,

Ava

No Big Whoop

I can't believe what I am seeing. Who abandons a donkey?

I am not there yet and it is a place that I hope that I never come close to getting to. No, I'm not talking about Cleveland (please no hater comments on that, it was just a joke.) When I say I am not there yet and I hope I never get there it's because I'm actually not even talking about a real destination. I am talking about getting to a place in my little Greek noggin where I can just sarcastically blow something off and not let others know something is bothering me. Getting there means being able to just say, no big whoop. I can't get there. I really can't.

Part of the problem is that I am Greek and I am passionate about everything I get my fingerprints on or everything I place my eye balls on! Things like my morning coffee, my daily work out or run, the food I eat, a stray dog or even the sneakers on my feet. I have a strong opinion about them all. Don't look to this blond Greek girl to say no big whoop if I don't get in my daily work-out. Don't look for me to just say no big whoop if I don't get my morning coffee, heads have rolled for a lesser offense. Don't look for me to just say no big whoop if Facebook crashes in the middle of updating my status, that's not how I roll. I know people who go about their life with an attitude like, "oh, my hot water heater just blew up and flooded my house, I just lost everything...and then they say, "no big whoop, I have insurance." My house flooding would be a huge whoop to me and it would probably make my head explode.

I get it that it is in my DNA to be just as high-strung as Mr. Bricks' wire hair fox terrier. And I get it that I can create unwanted muckery when I see something like an abandoned dog looking for scraps of food on a hot summer day. But the alternative is a lack of compassion that is akin to being brain-dead and I hope I am never so cold or out of touch that I stop caring about others. What's so wrong with being passionate about everything and everyone?

Recently when I was in Greece visiting my Dad (did I ever mention I was Greek?) I came across a car, truck a piece of crap parked on a side street with a donkey tied to the door in the hot sun with no water or donkey kibble (I don't know what they eat). I know it was a fellow Greek who did this, but what the hell people? I am sorry but when it comes to animals I will never say no big whoop. I have had to rescue many stray dogs or had to rescue mistreated dogs because some people don't have enough brain cells to treat animals with compassion and when they get bored with them they just abandon or abuse them. So to me a donkey is just like a lost or abused dog and it is still an animal.

Most people certainly know where they stand with me or where I stand on any specific issue because most everything in life is a big whoop to me.

Blessings,

Ava

Better A Broken Promise Than None At All

Thanks for nothing Mr. Twain!

What was Mark Twain thinking when he made the quote, "Better A broken promise than none at all"? Did he know that the world is full of some people who have no problems not keeping their promises? I'm talking about situations where someone has specifically agreed to do something and then totally flakes out at the last-minute without any sort of excuse, explanation or note from their mother or doctor explaining their absence.  Some people seem to think that it is OK not to keep a promise and that not keeping a promise is "no biggie."  News flash - it is a "biggie." It's a huge deal to the other person or people who were counting on you, especially if that person was a child!

I don't want anyone to read into my ranting here. I had a great childhood and there is no person who is the specific target of my rant...this time! I am just an equal opportunity Greek ranter and today I chose to rant about people who make promises only to break them later.

We all know people who have had someone break a promise and not live up to what they said they would do. It sucks, doesn't it? You are blindsided when it happens. You think good of all mankind and do not foresee the broken promises coming. I know for me, since I'm Greek I like to talk and when a person breaks a big promise with me it leaves me speechless without anything to say. Me speechless? Well you then know it was a big deal to me.  I am sure a broken promise is a big deal to anyone who is the unfortunate recipient of it!

So what does a person have if they do not have the word or the honor of another person? I say they have nothing. No one will trust them, no one will respect them and most certainly no one will want to be associated with them. When I make a promise to someone -- it's as good as being written in stone!! I know I will try my darndest to live up to any promise I make. That's just the way I was raised.

Likewise, if you make a promise to me and then you find out you're not going to be able to live up to that promise - then come tell me. I'm a big girl, I've got my big Greek girl underpants on. I can handle it, really I can. In life stuff happens to everyone and I understand that. But don't try to pretend you never made a promise or worse yet, totally ignore me or the person you made a promise to. Human noggins are like an elephants noggin...only slightly larger and less wrinkly and they also never really forget. They might forgive, but some people never forget.

Just to break a promise for no good reason is uncalled for. Especially in situations where someone was really depending on others and now there is no other way for them to get something done. I guess some people do not have a conscience or a sense of responsibility anymore.

Here are a couple of good quotes on promises:

• Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.  ~Norman Vincent Peale

• A promise made is a debt unpaid.  ~Robert Service

• We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot.  ~Abraham Lincoln

• A promise is a comfort for a fool.  ~Proverb

• Promises may fit the friends, but non-performance will turn them into enemies.  ~Benjamin Franklin

I am not saying all people break promises. But for the ones who do, shame on you. You promise breakers sure let down the rest of humanity.

Blessings,

Ava

Happy Slip - YouTube At Its Best

Christine Gambito - YouTube's Queen of Comedy

Even I know that the world doesn't revolve around me! Wait, what?? Just kidding.  So, every once in a while I want to use this platform as a way to shout out to other very talented artists. For those of you living under a rock, today's blog is all about one of those artists. Her name is Christine Gambito, but you might know her from her vlogging as Happy Slip with her videos on YouTube.  Her YouTube Channel Happy Slip has racked up an impressive 83 million views.

83 Million YouTube views and still going strong

Christine is not only cute as a bug, but she is also talented beyond belief. She excels as a comedian and actress, and she is also obviously a very gifted editor, writer and singer! Christine writes, edits and creates all of her own videos.

One her talents is also to take a great song and to make a parody all her own. Check out two of my favorites:

And here's a video that seems to be made specifically aimed at Mr. Bricks' heart (and stomach)

As great as her song parodies are, most notably Christine has created a series of videos featuring seven main characters based on her loving Filipino family. A great deal of Christine's amazing videos (there are 83 of them) revolve around the family dynamics, love and chaos with a bit of Filipino dysfunction thrown in.

According to Wikipedia (So you know it's true) Gambito attributes her nickname "Happy Slip" to her Filipino mother's mispronunciation of "half-slip"

"As a child, my Filipino mom would always remind me to wear a half-slip with skirts. However, the way she would pronounce the phrase was misleading: "Your hap e-slip! Be sure to wear your hap e-slip!" So I naturally went around calling the thing a 'happy slip,' until friends at school corrected me by asking if I had a 'sad slip' as well."

At her personal website, Christine explains that the phrase is not only a funny phrase from the past, but it also reflects what she would like people to feel when they watch her videos, hoping they will “slip into happiness” while watching.

Christine's "Family"

As everyone knows (because I blog about it every day), I love my Greek-ness and it shows in all of the Happy Slip videos that Christine loves her Filipino-ness. All of the characters portrayed are Christine. Underneath those wigs costumes and make-up is one talented girl who should be on Saturday Night Live, or better yet - Christine should have her own TV show.

I'm not Oprah Winfrey so I don't have my OWN network, but if I did - you can bet your bottom dollar that not only would I have the Ava Aston Muckery Show  I would also have the Happy Slip program.

I Wanna Kick Chuck Norris' Butt

Ava Aston: The Greek Tomb Raider

I feel just a little bad saying I wanna kick the butt of a 71-year old man, because that would be elder abuse. But since the senior citizen in question is none other than Mr. "Tough Guy" Chuck Norris, I feel more justified. After all, if I don't kick his, he won't think twice about kicking my little Greek butt to Athens and back.

So do I really want to get into an altercation with the Chuckster? No, not really. However, what I seriously want is a great role in an action flick or action TV series where I can play a strong take-no-prisoners girl who fights her own battles and kicks some serious bootie. Think of me as a Blonde Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in training.

I think Hollywood is not writing enough action adventure films where the main character is a female, in fact they are really far and few between. All of the time on both the silver screen and on television it is usually all about a tough dude, and if there is a chick around, she is just an accomplice or a skanky girl friend. Very rarely is the girl the main butt-kicker. I want to change that. So, as an actress and as the newly self-appointed Czar of Action Movies I have put into development ("green-lighted" for those of you in the industry and in the know) a series of sequels to high profile action adventure flicks, and like a good reality series, there will be some really great plot twists.

Rocky XVX: Italy vs Greece

In the latest update of this classic Rocky franchise film, Ava the Greek is the first woman invited into the ring against the Italian Stallion and let's just say that Philadelphia's famous Liberty Bell is not the only bell that is rung.

Missing in Action 5: Operation Lazy Eye

In the long awaited fifth installment of the Missing in Action film series, a blonde recording artist decides to use her martial skills to influence her manager to finally get her a record deal. The manager will be played by Chuck Norris.

Avatar 3, Ava-Star 4: Winner Takes All

James Cameron's newest installment of an epic battle for the fate of Pandora pits the local tribe of Na'vi against recording star Ava in the first funky rock and roll action adventure since The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai  (Available on Netflix).

Terminator 6: Kalifornia Dreamin'

Arnold Schwarzenegger tries to reprise his role of  The Terminator but realizes that there's a new sheriff in town and it's a Greek Blonde girl. The movie will spawn a new catch phrase from The Terminator, "Maybe I won't be back"

Men in Black, A Greek Girl in Light Blue

Move over Will Smith. Light blue is the new black. An inter-struggle of the top-secret organization truly establishes that there is not just alien activity on Earth, but that Men are from Mars and Women are from Greece.

So do I want to kick Chuck Norris' butt? Well,  I really don't want to but if the script says so, sure why not. I'm an actress and I do what the director tells me to do.

Blessings,

Ava

PS. Happy Belated 71rst Birthday Chuck!

Karma Apples

Yummo!

 I think perhaps the first example of Karma at work was with Adam and Eve. Ok, I know it never said the tree was an apple tree, but that's what they told this Greek girl in bible school, so that how's I'm rolling.According to the NIV version of the bible,  Genesis 3:6 "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it." This is why I called today's blog, Karma Apples.

It doesn't matter if it involved apples, oranges, figs, kumquats or anything else, Karma is sometimes referred to as the "moral law of cause and effect." We have all heard someone say when they were wronged by another person that revenge is not necessary because Karma will get them. At least, that is how I feel sometimes.

Karma is both an encouragement to do good and to avoid evil, because man, it sucks to be on the receiving end of bad Karma - receiving good Karma, that's another story. So either way, Karma is sometimes an explanation for whatever good or evil befalls a person.

In Buddhist teaching, the law of karma, says only this: "for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful."

However, I do not personally believe what the Buddhist believe that Karma has its hand in every situation. Sometimes it is just way too easy for us to place the blame of a negative situation on Karma. For example, is it really Karma that my manager Mr. Bricks has a lazy eye or did he just sit way too close to the TV and read his Dr. Seuss books in the dark when he was little? I'm sure his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Bricks warned him about the danger of them both. I know my parents warned me about them and might I add, in a very Greek flamboyant fashion.

So as actress when I audition for a role and don't get it, I don't assume that it's Karma coming back and slapping my Greek little butt for something I did wrong. What I do assume is that the casting director had another idea in mind of what they wanted for that particular role. Likewise, when I audition for and get a role, (like the national TV commercial that I currently have running right now - you know the one that everyone emails me 100x a day that they "just saw me on TV") I do not assume that I got the role because of good Karma. I got the role because they liked my Greek Blonde look, what is in my coconut and what I brought to the role. I do believe there is a difference between Karma and God's grace.

We can not do enough to earn God's grace. It is just something he graciously gives us.

Have a blessed day -

Isn't it Ironic?

I was working out and listening to a little Alanis Morissette and I thought to myself, isn't this ironic - I am a singer and while I am working out, I am listening to another singer and somewhere in the world there was someone else working out while listening to one of my songs...(at least I hope there is.)

Life is full of ironies. Sometimes the irony is an old law that is still on the books.

• In Maryland a woman cannot go through her husband’s pockets while he is sleeping. Not even if she really wants a piece of gum or "borrow" $200 for a new pair of sneakers
• In Tucson, Arizona, women are not allowed to wear pants. No word on the stance on booty shorts,thongs or going commando.
• In Carrizozo, New Mexico, it is illegal for a woman to appear unshaven under their arms in public. Why doesn't Manhattan have such a law on its books - just sayin'

Other ironies are just a fact of life.

• Everyone has a photographic memory to some degree. However my manager Mr. Bricks doesn't appear to have any film.
• Whenever I need to use a flashlight my batteries are dead. Whenever I need a battery I am out of that size of battery. This irony holds true for light bulbs.
• It was recently discovered that doing research caused cancer in rats.
• Keeping up with Kardashians is called a reality series, but nothing about it reflects reality at all.

Its ironic that shoppers at Wal Mart didn't notice the original price

I have also noticed that the muckery in my life is filled with ironies.

• I eat healthy, work out and I am in good health. My manager Mr. Bricks eats Mc Ribs at McDonald's, doesn't work out and  his blood pressure is higher than the national debt.
• It was 60° the other day in New York so I started putting away my gloves, uggs and puffy winter jacket and I was going to bring out the spring sneakers. Yesterday it snowed 8 inches and the high was only about 10 degrees.
• I am Greek and Blonde, yet I still have a good coconut on my shoulders.
• Days I plan on running errands I get called for meetings and auditions. On days I have nothing to do and would like an audition the phone never rings.

I have a manager with one lazy eye. But I do not yet have a record deal....isn't that ironic?

Blessings,

Ava

Batman

I was never much of a comic book nerd...oops did I just say that out loud? I mean, I was never really into comic books. While other kids were either playing with toys, dolls or reading comic books, I was the little girl with sneakers on sitting in a tree writing songs.

But the concept that makes up the fodder for most comic books of good and evil forces colliding was not entirely absent from my life. Some of my early songwriting was similar to that of the drama from a Batman comic book. Girl meets boy. Boy treats girl nice for a week, then becomes a jerk. Girl calls friend who lives in a cave who has really neat black car that spits fire out the back to come beat up mean boy. Boy with nice car and girl go off into the sunset.

As I got older I met more people, experienced life a little  more and my life became a little more complexed. My song lyrics then started reflecting the new complexity of my life and relationships. However this time,  it was more reality not fantasy. I was writing about real relationships that went bad.  And now there  was no Batman to call on the Bat Phone to come rescue me.

In the funny pages, in addition to the usual suspects (Catwoman, Riddler, The Joker and Penguin) Batman always had a bevy of new characters to deal with that made the story lines become darker and darker. Over time with all of the muckery in my life, I have noticed that my songwriting has also become darker than what it once was.  I look at this as a good thing. It means I am writing what is true to me and that I am growing as a person.

I still love writing about love, don't get me wrong.  And Batman is still a bit of a romancer when he is his alter ego Bruce Wayne. He really knows how to charm the pantaloons off of the ladies. Of all of the actors who have played Batman over the years, Christian Bale is my absolute favorite. I love him as Batman. Just thought you would want to know.

One last parallel between Batman and The Greek Blonde girl is I live in New York City and Batman's residence was Gotham City. "Gotham" has been a nickname for New York City originating way back to 1807. Writers of Batman switched it from New York to the fictional city of Gotham in 1940 in episode 4 of the DC comic book. They did not want anyone to identify with it and say, hey I live in New York and that was me they were making fun of. The names of towns are frequently fictionalized in movies and TV shows for that reason.

So there you have it. Who needs Kevin Bacon? I was able to connect myself to Batman with only 2 degrees of separation.

Blessings,

Trending Topics

The whole world was a buzz today because the "trending" feature of Twitter was not working. Now #NoTrendingTopics is trending. I saw that one coming.

OK, as my very first self-appointment of the new year I am appointing myself the Czar of Trending Topics. The entire trending thing has gotten way out of hand. It use to be something or someone could be old fashioned or out of style only if it had been around for years. Now with the interweb thingy, something is outdated if it has peaked and is no longer trending.

Effective immediately I am instituting the following as "mandatory reading" for anyone who is even thinking about wanting to trend a topic on Twitter or Google.

The Greek Girl's Etiquette Guide to Trending Topics  by Ava Aston

1. Weather

If something weather wise is obvious then there is no need to trend it because everyone already knows about. Example: Today we are having a Blizzard here in New York. So there is no good reason for people in New York to Tweet #NYBlizzard. Hello, I can look out my own window! Thank you very much.

2. Sports

Not everyone runs around with their face painted two different colors, because not everyone cares about guys in tight capri pants hugging each other. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but we just don't need a trending topic of which team does it best -just sayin.' So stop it already.

3. Celebrities

If I see a celebrity's name trending, I want to make sure they are dead! No wait, I don't mean I want them dead, I mean there should be no reason everyone wants to talk about a specific celebrity at the same time unless, you know - they kicked the bucket.  If you are like me and you see someone's name trending on Twitter you instantly Google their name to see how they died. So, effective immediately no celebrities names should be trending unless they are dead. The exception should be the name Ava Aston or the phrase Greek Blonde Girl, once It hit the big-time feel free to trend away on those, no need to wait for me to kick the bucket.

4. Animals

You know this Blonde Girl loves her furbabies - all four of those little doggies are my life!  So I can see when the word dog or cat is trending because other people love their furbabies as much as I do and that puts a smile on my Greek mug.  However, I am always suspicious when I see words like Zebra, Giraffe or warthog trending. I don't want to know why. So effective immediately, unless it is a species of pet for your home and it is one that you would let your mother see, it should not be trending. Dogs can be a trending topic 24/7 as far as I am concerned.

5. TV Shows

The invention of cable TV was a great thing. (I can't remember did Al Gore also take credit for inventing cable TV as well?) If there is something we don't want to watch we can change the channel (sorry Rachael Ray) But on Twitter if someone starts trending some dumb random show like, say for example The Rachael Ray Show, then for the next several hours my Twitter screen is hijacked with comments about a TV show that makes my skin crawl. So unless it's about one of my favorite TV shows (Biggest Loser, Days of Our Lives or Joel Osteen) then it can not be trending any more. The exception will be for any shows I am starring or guest starring on.

Oh, and one more new law. Those hashtag thingys ---->  # . Banned forever. I don't roll like that.

Yes, I am the Trending Topics Czar and it is all about me.  NOTE: I learned that line at the Czar training workshop I went to at the White House.  That is what they teach you there -- just sayin'

Blessings,

Ava
