Florence Henderson (again!)

 

Here's the story...remember how I said I was going to send my copy of Florence's autobiography to be signed, even though I already have a signed photo in my collection? Well, that's precisely what I've done, and today I couldn't be happier. I sent my book about a week before Halloween and am incredibly pleased with how fast it came back to me. I have been sick this entire week, so this really helped me feel better this afternoon. I have loved Florence for as long as I can remember, thanks to her flawless performance as Mrs. Carol Brady on The Brady Bunch. I used to watch reruns on Nick-at-Nite every night before going to bed as a kid, and now I own almost all seasons on DVD. What's more, her 30-second cameo at the end of The Brady Bunch Movie, in which she tells Jan to "cut the crap" because of her inner voices as a result of being a middle child, was the icing on top of a truly delicious cake. They just don't make shows like The Brady Bunch anymore, and they just don't have such genuinely talented actresses like Florence Henderson. Sure, there are talented individuals out there today, don't get me wrong, but it's a different kind of talent. Here's to you, Florence, for being such a kind individual (I wish all celebrities would put fanmail addresses on their official websites), and for granting my second autograph request. :)

In addition, have y'all been watching the new season of American Horror Story? I have been, and I LOVE IT! Jessica Lange is brilliant as Sister Jude, and the storyline is so gripping that I can't help but tune in each week! Definitely give it a try if you haven't already. (coming from someone who didn't watch Season One...)
