Blurred Vision

this week has been such a blur and it’s only wednesday. it could be from the fact that it’s an uncharacteristically warm week – between 95-100 degrees out. i love the heat, don’t get me wrong. i LOVE the heat. i just don’t like it when i’m inside. when the sun in shining and i’m [...]

I have been coughing up blood AKA The Apprentice

~~I’ve been coughing up blood as well. it’s a natural reaction to Lee’s three choices. i mean, i knew he’d take Lenny. but Pepi? who the hell even is that? ~~Carolyn’s laughter on not knowing who Pepi was one of the best reality TV show moments ever. She was about to CRY, people! ~~was anyone [...]

welcome to our ool. notice there’s no p in it. he.

our friends have a pool. this automatically brings back memories of when i was 16. and people came crawling out of the woodwork to be my friend because i had a car in 10th grade. we were friends with them before the pool. for the record. but i was thrilled to go swimming yesterday. (we [...]

Thanks to the Goofy Ass Chick!

she really made my weekend. she stumbled upon this clip. she, like i, can’t seem to get enough of Chris Daughtry these days. mmm..he’s hot. and singing Plush? even hotter.

shoot the messenger, please.

i often wonder how my mother came to be the president of an entire organization. a very successful organization, to boot. because, in many ways, she is a child. she’s scatterbrained. and forgetful. and inconsiderate. need i go on? you know there’s a story coming here, so let’s proceed, shall we? at the beginning of [...]

The Three _____s on a Desert Island Meme

i’ve been tagged. thanks, Stephanie. If you were stranded on a desert island (without Ginger and the Professor and all those folks to keep you amused), which three _____s would you bring? Books: Franny and Zooey To Kill a Mockingbird Lord of the Flies Albums: Rolling Stones – 40 licks U2 – The Joshua Tree [...]

mmm…Chris Daughtry…wait, what? he didn’t win? what the fuck is wrong with America??

~~Wow, i’d have to say the most satisfying portion of last night’s finale, well, the second…because naturally, the first was the big ole’ Ace and Chris hug, which i paused and rewound, much to my husband’s dismay…mmmmm….Ace and Chris…. ah, yes, where was i…oh, yes, David Hasslehoff crying like a little schoolgirl. bwah! ~~oh my [...]

I cheated on my colorist.

you’ve got to be freakin’ kidding me AKA Apprentice

~~so, Lee wins the Apprentice. he. i can’t see Sean and his wanky mcwanker talk winning this thing. does anyone else get uncomfortable when Sean gushes about making babies with Tammy?? ew. ~~okay, this: good and this: travesty i wish i had a good photo of the culottes. culottes???? it’s 2006. ~~like Sean said, “Dynasty [...]

Friday’s Feast

Feast Ninety-Four Appetizer What is the last thing you had to have repaired? Repair? what is the meaning if this? repaired by myself? i took my car to the dealer to be repaired…does that count?

i was SOOO not expecting that AKA The OC

~~holy crap. i thought she was leaving the show, you know, like on a boat, to the greek islands. too many people die in the OC. i can’t believe they killed Marissa Cooper.

oh!

thanks to Jodi, I’m absolutely dying of happiness. check out this video. if you are a fan of grey’s anatomy or of hot men in showers, you’ll love it.

Work stuff and other ditties

I usually try not to write too much about work. because you NEVER know who can be reading. and being dooced? It’s just not high on my to-do list these days. Because once I got dooced, I’d be getting divorced. Also not on my to-do list. but, I have to write to you about my [...]

And the Hippies win TAR

satisfying ending for me. truth is, i liked all three final 3 teams and would have been happy with any of them winning. i did like that it came down to brains in the end, though. “Damn hippies and their language knowing” he. “I’ll tell Michael you said hello.” was hilarious. and Tyler on the [...]

happy 8th

well, i suppose first things first. honey, i apologize for saying that because mother’s day, our anniversary and my birthday all fall within 10 days of each other, you decided it’s better not to celebrate at all then to have to do all three. i was wrong. and i’ve got the memory card (mother’s day), [...]

I am so hot and bothered.

Some mothers really bother me. you know the ones I’m talking about. the ones who do stupid things. like go out driving with curlers in their hair. oh, and the ones who don’t really give a crap about their children’s safety. this child? The ones you see slouched in his seat? a certain SPF? who [...]

sex at the prom AKA Grey’s Anatomy Finale

Oh my damn. I don’t even know where to start. Um, yeah, I guess I do. Let’s start with the hottest sex on tv ever. Or how about the looks. I think I would die if Patrick Dempsey was looking at me like that. Okay…yes…i realize there will be people attacking me. Because Derek has [...]

things

things i hate: having to take my car in for servicing because my brakes are completely shot. things i love: reawarding myself with a big bag of jalapeno popcorn. and in case you were wondering, yes, i did eat the entire bag. in 20 minutes. and it was so fucking worth it. hey…at least it [...]

oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god

let’s discuss Grey’s Anatomy first, shall we (and then we’ll get to the fact that it was Aras who won and NOT Danielle as predicted. hmmm…fancy that. they were wrong again) ~~oh my freakin’ god, Izzy. she’s gone batshit insane. say goodbye to both Denny AND your career as a surgeon. i was actually YELLING [...]

Mother’s Day

well…i got to sleep in until 8:30 – which to those of you who have children that wake up at normal hours, 8:30 is a serious treat. and the gifts from the kids? priceless. Emily made me a jewlery box, which she asked to keep. and she sang me a song. there were tears, folks. [...]

The Return of the Gossip Round-Up

now here’s my kind of nip slip (actually, i take it back…i’m really not all that into male nipples…..but Jude Law…mmmm…and what’s with the scarf? why is the man always wearing a scarf?): Katie Holmes lets her sexy nursing bra slip: Britney Spears makes a surprise visit to David Letterman and announces that heck ya, [...]

it’s now officially official

my daughter is a crawler. i’m usually good with words but when it comes to trying to explain how she crawls…i just don’t have the words. she does this slight slither looking motion and contorts her body side to side. and all the while she makes the same sound, “uduh. uduh. uduh,” as if she [...]

i hope mcdreamy dies a slow, horrible death…

okay, fine, not really, but he certainly doesn’t deserve his namesake anymore. i think McDouchbag or McBastard or McAsshat will do nicely, thank you very much. he’s got some nerve, that brain surgeon, some nerve. on a lighter note, mmmm…Mcvet…swoon. i adore this man and hope that he and Meredith are nothing but happy and [...]

ah..sundays….

so, it’s 11 am and i feel like i’ve been running for 2 days. the husband is running the sporting life 10k run…which is all well and good for him…and i am so jealous that he’s lost 15 pounds and is, like, days away from hsi goal weight…but…a sunday? seriously? my morning started at about [...]

I AM: a mother, a spouse, a sister, a daughter, a grand-daughter, a woman, a girl, a teacher, a student, a friend. mostly, i’m a mother. I WANT: too many things to list here. it’s bad. I WISH: i could go back to school. i loved school. i could totally be a professional student for [...]

we have crawlage…

okay…not really. she only did it once. and it was somewhat awkward-looking. she had one arm tucked under her stomach. and one arm straight out in front of her. then she used her legs to propel herself forward. i couldn’t stop laughing at her. she must surely know that this is a lousy excuse for [...]

With great blogs come great responsibility…

the thing about having a blog is there are always things that you can say and things that you can’t. for instance, you can say that you watched the apprentice last night. no big deal. but, you can’t, however talk about a friend you are having issues with. for fear. that someone. might know. so, [...]

I thought you were knitting a sweater AKA Grey’s Anatomy

~~Alex. Ass. That’s all I have to say about that. ~~McDreamy. Ass. Okay…I didn’t mind, and kind of actually liked, seeing Jealous McDreamy when he realized that Meredith was with McVet (giving a good McStare). but, I was totally creeped out by Jealous McDreamy when he decided to get back at Meredith by having hot [...]
