"why can't i find a woman like that?"*


i was telling my daughter emilie this little anecdote today and she insisted i blog it. i always do whatever my kids tell me so here goes:


i love reading bumper stickers. almost as much as i like reading the vanity plates on people's cars.

i was behind a car at a stop lite and the rear bumper was covered with "rick springfield summer tour 2005" and "i luv rick springfield" stickers. i thought the guy had died a long time ago from lack of talent but apparently not--so i checked out his website and he's very much alive and is australian to boot. didn't know that either.

but the best part of this little story is in the vanity plate that graced the back of that car. wanna know what it was? ok.........................hold..........................wait for it.........................i'm not kidding, it was...................


"JESISGRL"


isn't that the best???? i smiled nonstop for several blocks.
this posting is dedicated to SARAH JANE CHRISTNAGEL CONWAY, who used to love rick springfield, if i remember correctly!!!
*i tried to look up the lyrics for jessi's girl on AZ Lyrics Universe, but it had no information on rick springfield.

I love my vanity plate. Bet you don't even remember what it is...

Maybe if you spelled it correctly, you might find it: Jessie's girl.

Frickin' A covered Rick Springfield's song, so the lyrics are the same.
