Matthew McConaughey is my husband. He just doesn’t know it yet. My friends and family know it, or at least they are kind enough to indulge my fantasy, and are always on the look out for him. It’s so nice when loved ones enable harmless delusions*. Take a look at my sexy man. Jealous much? Try not to drool, you don’t want to short circuit your keyboard. YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY *Delusion: commonly defined as a fixed false belief...  Read More »

February is a tag-on month. It didn’t even exist when the Romans first started what would become our calendar. The goal was to merge the moon’s 29 ½ day month with the sun’s 365 ¼ day year. The first attempt was made by Romulus, Rome’s founder, who included 10 months, adding up to 304 days. Apparently, Romulus was as good with numbers as I am. And by good, I mean horrible. Next, according to legend, came King Numa Pompilius who added January and...  Read More »

I love the Foster Farms Chickens! Their commercials make me laugh every single time I see them. Did you know they have their own website? You can watch the commercials or play a game or two. I can’t think of a better way to pass the time (other than reading my blog, of course). Have fun! The Foster Imposters …muppet style chicken characters, the Foster Imposters®. Created in 1993…Scruffy, paunchy and unhealthy, the Foster Imposters symbolize competing...  Read More »

It seems incredible in these days of ghoulish dissection of who wears what to the Oscars, to think that in 1929, the year of the first Academy Awards ceremony, the actress award winner, Janet Gaynor, wore a tiny off-the rack dress with a Peter Pan collar that she probably picked up from a children’s store. In 1937, the Austrian ingenue Luise Rainer accepted her best actress award in a nightgown; and in 1958, Joanne Woodward accepted hers in a green...  Read More »

In the Awards family, the Oscars are the stuffy aunt whose opinion the family respects and around whom the family is on their best behavior. Everyone wears their best (or so they think) and they are polite and smile and thank everyone under the sun and lose with grace. Last night was not really any different. Ellen DeGeneres hosted for her first time, and did a swell job. I especially liked her red velvet suit and her “Oscar Carrier” (pictured below). …and...  Read More »

The Academy Awards were last night. Pretty much par for the Oscars course — nothing too too thrilling. Except for Jennifer Hudson’s Best Supporting Actress win. That was awesome! I bet she’s on cloud nine today. More on the show and fashions later. In the meantime….. a·ro·ma·ther·a·py / əˌroʊməˈθɛrəpi / Origin: 1945–50 / noun 1. the use of fragrances to affect or alter a person’s mood or behavior. 2. treatment of...  Read More »

Okay, I don’t really want to kick someone when they’re down, but……OH MY GOODNESS BRITNEY SPEARS! What the heck kind of crazy colors is she seeing in her world? I actually had a conversation with my mom last night about the chaos that is Britney Spears. I made a comment that she’s just going through normal 25 year old newly single mother things. Apparently, my mother disagreed. She then went on her own rant about how Britney Spears...  Read More »

UPDATE: As quickly as she checked in, Britney Spears checked out of rehab. For more information and rumors, visit: The Superficial Let’s see, in the past week Britney Spears has checked in and out of rehab, shaved her head, and gotten two new tattoos. And now today she has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed in-patient rehabilitation center, for (of course) undisclosed reasons. Between Britney Spears and Anna Nicole Smith, my soap opera quota...  Read More »

Stumpy is special. Extra special. Stumpy has webbed feet, which he should seeing how he’s a duck, but Stumpy has FOUR. Because of rare mutation, Stumpy has two nearly full-sized legs behind the two he uses. Duck farmer Nicky Janaway, from New Forest, Hampshire (about 95 miles southwest of London) said, “It was absolutely bizarre. I was thinking ‘he’s got too many legs’ and I kept counting ‘one, two, three, four.’” Stumpy...  Read More »

I received the below “resume” back in 2004, around election time. I thought it would be a great thing to share today since it’s Presidents’ Day. Below it is a video clip that is at least a year old, but sadly still relevant. *** 2004 – Election Year George W. Bush The White House, USA Please consider my qualifications for reelection (well, actually, election for the first time) this year. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE – LAW ENFORCEMENT:...  Read More »

Below you will find a “rant” about the horrific world of health care in America. A friend of mine wrote it, and I really think her thoughts need to be shared. Not only so she can have a voice as an American citizen, but also because I think tons of you will agree with her and understand her plight. I have changed the names, but nothing else. These are her words and they must be heard… Okay, I will keep this one relatively unedited and raw… but...  Read More »

Below is a Motivation Note from Motivational Speaker and Author, Jewel Diamond Taylor. I have no idea who gave it to me. The message really hit home for me, and I think it needs to be shared and passed on. Especially to Britney Spears, whose recent behavior is obviously an attempt to repel and push away those close to her. And yes, it’s motivating. ***** You don’t need anyone’s help to be a failure in life. You can do that all by yourself....  Read More »

Like I said the other day, it’ s Hollywood and the tides change quickly, this time by Britney Spears as she shaved off all of her hair. I’m not kidding! It’s gone. She’s bald. She sort of looks like a cross between Demi Moore from G.I. Jane, and Sinead O’Connor — except for the cellulite on the side. Britney Spears has cellulite on her head. I said it. Kinda nasty. The two theories on Britney’s reasoning are that she...  Read More »

Finally, the proof I’ve been waiting for. Here is a picture of Jayden James Federline, the second child* born to Britney Spears and Kevin Federline. In other Britney Spears news….apparently she checked into rehab a few days ago, only to check out 24 hours later. So does Hollywood have drive-thru rehab now, or what? *The second born is the true perfectionist. This person attends to details, strives for perfection and reads the fine print. “Good...  Read More »

trivia n. Insignificant or unessential matters; trifles. I’ve always been a fan of trivia. I used to work in a coffee shop and we would write trivia questions on a white board. Customers would get a free cup of coffee if the got they answer right. It was so much fun deciding which random trivia question to put up each day. Perhaps the biggest trivia question is where did the word “trivia” actually came from? Not surprisingly, it is a Latin word. But...  Read More »

Doesn’t seem like much is going on in the world of Hollywood Gossip these past few days. The Anna Nicole Smith murder mystery is still going on. Oh, did I just say murder mystery? I meant mysterious death. Yeah, that’s it. Mysterious death. There are now a total of four men each saying that he is Dannielynn’s biological father. Larry Birkhead (who gets my vote) and Howard K. Stern (who gets my vote, but as “the death causer”) claimed paternity before...  Read More »

The sad fact is, 50% of marriages end in divorce. Divorce is often a very hard period in someone’s life. But sometimes, a divorce is a time to celebrate. Perhaps it is the end to an abusive relationship, or maybe the woman has finally mustered up the strength and knowledge to survive on her own. Whatever the reason, divorce parties are on the rise. I know a couple of people who should have thrown a divorce party. Actually, divorce parties are so popular now,...  Read More »

Ask almost any woman about her wedding dress and I bet she’ll have wonderful memories — of the dress, but not necessarily the wedding itself. Have you ever been to one of those weddings? I have! Wedding dresses are a very important part of a wedding. In fact, some wedding dresses cost almost as much as the reception! I have a magazine picture somewhere of a wedding dress I really like. I also have my grandmother’s wedding dress in its original box,...  Read More »
