.... Pensacola, 1994 through 1998... a high school student comes home from school and watches the Golden Girls every single day with her sister (and roommate) Nikki.
.... Auburn, 1998 through 2002.... a college student comes home from school and watches the Golden Girls every single day with her roommates, Emily, Kristin, Sudan, and Robert.
.... Tallahassee, 2002 through 2004.... a law student comes home from school and watches the Golden Girls every single day with her roommate, Ashley, and their Kato, Sal.
Well guess what. That student was me. And this week, every one of the above named people emailed me to send their condolences about the death of Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty) the best Golden Girl ever.
I thought it was funny (laughter through tears of course) that all of these people I lived with remembered fondly my fondness for the show and how I drew them all into it with me. I've always said that the Golden Girls is just a funny show that transcends race, gender, and social background. So, this bud's for Sophia and all the hilarious and sarcastic jokes she cracked. She helped make me the smartass I am today. *(clink)*
Hmm... what else. Well, the babies and I are kickin' it solo tonight, since the man in our family is out of town on business. Sad. We miss him!! Hurry home beeby! He'll be back in time for happy hour tomorrow, so yay!
Think I'm going to do some yardwork this weekend. Maddie has learned how to remove her own collar (not the bark one, the regular one) and I can't find it anywhere in the house. I think she disrobed in the back yard so I might as well trim some weeds while I hunt for it. Stay tuned for updates.

Hey, Pussycat, let's all grieve Sophia with our favorite G.G. moments...anyone?
love the tribute bets!
Nikki, how 'bout the time when all the old ladies talked about sexual relations with old men? Oh wait, that was every episode. And that was BEFORE Viagra. (Sideshow Bob shudder)
Rose: Dorothy, you're the smart one, and Blanche, you're the sexy one, and Sophia, you're the old one, and I'm the nice one. Everybody always likes me.
Sophia: The old one isn't so crazy about you.
Hey Gavin, one day you'll be one of the "old men" trying to get laid.
My fave is the Burt Reynolds episode. Sophia: "You'll get over it, Dorothy, and if you don't WHO CARES?! I'm going to see Burt Reynolds!!!" (crazy old lady laughter)
I am truly hurt that i was not included in your Golden Girl memories. Have we meant nothing to each other?
My favorite Golden Girls memory was the one where Blanche's sister wrote a tawdry novel about her sexcapades. Blanche thought the novel was about her - how silly - good times - good times
Too many great GG moments for me to write about. I always loved GG, but my fondest memories are watching them with Bets and Sal. Cheers Sophia!
