Friend took a picture of Paula Abdul

[lmurden]

My friend saw Paula Abdul at the mall in Virginia yesterday and took a picture of her. She really looks the same, very petite.

LM, small world. I am from Rockville.
Plus I was at Tyson''s mall in Va. yesterday but didn''t see her!

 

[Odilia]

incidentally, I said small world when I saw you were from Silver Spring.

 

[lmurden]

She was at Walmart Fair Lakes, Fairfax.

Oh ya, we have to have another get together soon. I live about 10 minutes from Rockville and always shop on the Pike. Next year after our lease is up we are going to move to Rockville or buy a house near by. Hopefully the housing market slows down.

 

[Odilia]

Another small world: we are hoping to sell our house next year!! (to move to PA)

Getting out of the hussle and bussle?

 

[Odilia]

Yes, and the horrible traffic! There are a bunch of factors, including being closer to my aging parents (and some siblings). Traffic isn''t the greatest there either, but it still seems pretty tame compared to here. We do want to be a little more out in the country too. You can get a lot more house and land for the money up there. And I grew up there, so for me it''s "home."

The only problem is property taxes up there are crazy. Of course,while working, the overall tax bill won''t be any worse than Montgomery Co., MD, but if you lose your job or retire, the Prop. Taxes don''t go away!!

Is the job market good in PA?

 

[Odilia]

Well, my husband would just transfer with his current company to Phila. I''m not sure how the job market is otherwise, but as long as he can transfer, it''ll work.

I have to laugh though: the title of this thread is about Paula Abdul, and I really couldn''t care less about her. I wonder how many people check it and are totally disappointed with our MD/PA exchange!! But we''re having a nice conversation anyway!!

 

[Kaleigh]

I live outside of Philly!!!

 

[Caribou]

I lived the first two years of my life in Silver Spring. I was born at Besthesda Naval Hospital!!!

Quick thinking on your friends part. My sister and I were at the mall yesterday trying to get a Christmas Card picture of my kids. Any Grant was walking toward us and I couldn't react fast enough to alert my sister and tell her to snap a pic

. After she walked by I told my sis, hey Amy Grant just passed us, but by the time my sister turned around she was gone. Later we were in a dept store and they were playing Amy's Christmas CD. We were thinking..hmmm...I wonder if Amy came in here and heard he own songs being played

 

[Odilia]

kaleigh, what county do you live in? I''m originally from Bucks County.

She is very short. I love it! (I am short too) I saw her in concert in the early 90s when she was huge. We took a bunch of "make a wish foundation" kids backstage and she was very gracious to them.
