Betty White is my hero. I stopped dead in my tracks as I was leaving the hospital cafeteria. I had to do a double take when I saw the television up on the wall. There was Betty up on the t.v. on what appeared to be a soap opera.
My life plan has been as follows:
Get my masters and teach community college.
After I retire and my kids are grown, move to Hollywood to act in the soaps as the crazy Grandma.
I’ve always wanted to get into acting, but if I wait until I can only play a grandmother, no one will ever ask me to do a nude shot, the paparazzi will never bother me as I go to water aerobics, and none of my scripts will contain profanity.
And today, there was Betty White—living my dream—playing the crazy grandmother on the soaps. She’s one golden girl, that Betty.

Beth!
We're so enjoying your blog. You have such a talent and unique voice. You'll be bigger than Betty someday, I think.
Can't wait to catch up at Christmas. Email me and we'll set something up. Evie's looking forward to meeting you!

I just saw Betty on the soap opera! We had the TVs on in the newsroom and all of a sudden there she was! It was actually priceless because the climactic moment in the dialogue was when the man she was talking to told her he didn't "give a rat's a$$"! Wow.

I think she must be the new star of the show. They'll probably have her get an evil twin if she doesn't watch it.
