1. forgive my randomness, my abs hurt and my brain is still fried from LOST. ohmigod. LOST.
    this morning i sat in the Tim Horton’s drive-thru (hoping to win my 5th free coffee..i mean, i would be okay winning the Venza, but i’m just happy with the free coffees seeing as how it’s about 4 more coffees than i won last year..) behind a car with vanity plates that said…get this…SWEATY. i [...]

  2. some Gabon-ing some forgery and some abby cadabby
    anyone watch Survivor last night? anyone else wondering how it is that these people don’t know that they are going on Survivor and not, well, church? i mean..SUITS? really? anyone else think that Charlie’s little man-crush on Marcus is giving gay men everywhere a bad rap? anyone else wondering why the Olympic track and field [...]

  3. the lack of smack…
    …there is a reason, dear readers. I am officially retiring my Fabulous jersey. I’m saying auf wiedersehen (whatever, just try to admit you’ve never seen the Sound of Music, unless you are Jennifer, of course…) yes, i’m moving on to a brand spanking new home on urbanmoms.ca….

  4. Friday Smackdown #5
    Guess who pulled a Britney?? attacking paparazzi with umbrellas is sooo 2006. the conversation goes a little something like this… Katie: “Tommy, did you forget your lifts again??” Tom: “Slouch woman!! slouch, use that bad posture we talked about to make me look taller” Katie: “Oh, and have you seen my boobs anywhere??? because they seem to have gone [...]

  5. Friday Smackdown
    i so love this girl. and not only because she eats sandwiches. but because she *might* be dating my Heroes boyfriend, her co-star and uncle, Milo Ventimiglia. he’s 30. she’s 18. i guess at least they waited until she was, erm, legal? also…whose last name do you find harder to pronounce?? anyone? is it wrong that i [...]

  6. summer watches
    well, i did it. take that, Chantal! i took the plunge and watched Big Brother last night. for the first time. okay, so everything about this show is BAD. except for when the dude with the pepperoni nipples starts talking about he immaculately conceived gonorrhea. the host is annoying and had scary, scary hair. the people [...]

  7. naked ali
    first i saw it over at flip-flop’s, then over at fina’drea’s and then over at Beck’s. it seems that i’m a little late to the game. it’s spreading like Lindsay Lohan’s legs. Stephanie over at Adventures in Babywearing is giving all of us bloggers the challenge of all challenges. posting a photo of ourselves…without makeup. this is a great [...]

  8. Lost in Translation
    seems to be quite the week for language and speech trouble…especially on America’s Next Top Model. Renee seems to be the only one who can carry on a semi-intelligent conversation…but no one wants to, since she’s proving herself to be the world’s largest bitch. Jael speaks (well, spoke, since Tyra kicked her sorry ass to the curb [...]

  9. a hypothetical
    let’s just say for the sake of saying that you know someone who kinda sorta maybe has some eating issues. and this person who you know is afraid of certain foods…that they might…you know poison her or give her salmonella or botulism (although i think this is for babies, right? from honey? come on…we all saw [...]

  10. mish-mash part deux
    first things first…Dorothy had a burial at sea last night. it was a traumatizing experience all around. there were tears, mine included. Emily wasn’t even able to stay in the bathroom during the entire service. and Josh didn’t break down until later when he burst into tears and a certainly overdramatic “i want Dorothy to [...]

  11. This is a story about a girl named lucky…
    so, just this week i devoted an entire post to telling you just how unlucky i am. i never win anything. i can’t even roll up the rim and win at Tim Hortons. i can’t even win a stinkin’ coffee. (note: not my fingers. i do not wear thumb rings. as if.) BUT…i won! i won! i [...]

  13. snow day
    Toronto is under a snow attack. It didn’t make the news, however, because of awful bus crashes and tornadoes. and it didn’t make the news because Anna Nicole Smith’s body is being flown to the Bahamas and….wait for it…Angelina is adopting again. oh…and Antonella Barba and Sanjaya are STILL on American Idol. what is this world [...]

  16. this one ends with a period.
    can we talk for a moment about American Idol? I love this show. i always have. i love everything about it. i love the audition round. the Hollywood round. the finals. i love the judges. hell, i even love Ryan Seacrest. i enjoy seeing who gets through during the auditions and picking early favorites…like FidelbinJesus. and [...]

  17. “Are you going to kiss Daddy under the nippletoe?”
    No, this isn’t a joke. My 5-year-old DID, in fact, ask me this question yesterday. The laughter was uncontrollable. So, I was tagged by Beth over at Thoughts Arrive Like Butterflies. And since I love me some midwestern girls, I cannot say no. And since I also love to take things up a notch (BAM!), I thought I’d change this [...]

  18. I am NOT pregnant. i swear.
    the husband hates most of the tv shows that i watch. and when i say most, i mean all, except for Survivor, Heroes, Friday Night Lights, and some HBO shows. oh, and South Park. usually, he gets all whiny and turns into a giant baby when i sit down at night to watch tv. Thursday nights [...]

  19. Isabella wants a cookie!!
    temper tantrum much? this is what happens in our house when Isabella gets tired. she gets cranky and angry. and everything is “no” but if you listen very carefully to the beginning, she very clearly says a very well-constructed sentence “I wah a cook-cook!” i’m so proud… Survivor ~voting off Jonathan was a big, big mistake. keeping [...]

  20. i haven’t watched Grey’s yet!
    i came home last night – from meeting the urbanmoms ladies at Host – and the husband said he would rather watch Survivor (which he had already watched that night) than watch Grey’s Anatomy. not understanding? yeah…well, me neither. but now i don’t have the time to watch it. there’s just NEVER enough time. it’s funny because i [...]

    This morning i get on the scale and do my little happy dance because i lost half a pound. yes, i realize it’s half a pound, and it’s not much to write home about, but i’ve been stuck on the same number for the past 3 weeks. 3 weeks? it seems no matter what i do, i stay [...]

    okay, fine, it’s not entirely true. i’m only a bitch sometimes. and these times seem to correspond with me having to wake up in the middle of the night. or having to wake up too early. against my will. then i become uber-bitch. that’s your cue to run. run like forest gump.   don’t get me wrong. i [...]
