Dream of Tomorrow

Assignment: If I could have any movie star/celebrity play me in a movie about my life, who would it be?

The first person who comes to mind would have to be Valerie Bertinelli–Lifetime For Women Queen. I choose her simply because I think she could more easily relate to my life. I mean, if you can be married to guy named Eddie Van Halen, then you can probably play my life story. My life isn’t what you call a rock and roll rapsody however, but more of a Portuguese festa meets disco. Anyway, she’s Italian, has the brown hair/eyes thing going, and people used to say (I am repeated USED to say that I looked like her), so this is about as close to reality as you are going to get. I would choose Kirstie Alley, but I don’t want to get involved with the raging war with her and Rosie, and I am not even close being that big, even though my daughter has a crazy notion that I look like the woman. However, Rosie does look a lot like another family member who has put her own "war" against me, so perhaps I shall let Rosie play her role in the movie of my life. Kirstie will have to lose more weight though to "win" my part, and then she’ll have to duke it out with Valerie. Valerie will be however my number one choice. Lucky her.

My title is a little corny.  It sounds like a soap opera, but I feel it is most appropriate.  As I am reminded almosty daily, MY LIFE IS A SOAP OPERA..(sometimes)  For a theme song, I'm truly undecided.  I've thought of many so far.  Disco theme song of my life, I Will Survive, will be in there tossed with a few others, Strong Enough (by Cher), maybe some Alanis, a little of Nelly Furtado just to put that Portuguese feel, and the happiest song I've ever heard:  This Will Be.--That will be the ending song-when hubby tosses me up in the air. 

Other cast of characters will include the following:  Phyliss Diller, Brad Pitt, Patrick Swayze, Ricky Martin, Prisilla Presley, Nicholas Cage, Rosie O'Donnell, Boy George, Clint Eastwood, Roseanne Barr, Victoria Principle, Andy Gibb, Angela Landsbury, Adam Sandler & Jennifer Lopez.
