A good day.

You know you are having a good day when.......

  1. Sun is shining.. might even hit 55 degrees today.
  2. 7:45am meeting cancel.....which meant I got to go back to bed after the kids left for school. Watched Crossing Jordan rerun and Guiding Light from yesterday.
  3. Get a Hot bath.
  4. Get a PEDICURE. the little Vietnamese lady felt sorry for me because I said I couldn't comfortably paint my toes anymore, so I got an extra long massage and paraffin wax on the feet.
  5. Then, get a Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries to go and came home and watched an episode of Trust Me. Which is actually a good show, just took a few episodes to get into it.
  6. Get a call from cousin saying that we've got the cottage booked for Nags Head 09! Remember, we had to change plans when we found out when the bun in the over was due......so not only did the date change, we had to find a new cottage...... so this is the new cottage, which is very similar to the old cottage, just has 8 bedrooms instead of 10.

Life is good.

Celebrity Apprentice

We live by the DVR. Just do. Makes the time we spend watching TV much less....ya know, since we are flying thru the commercials. (Oh, and I can keep up with my soaps in like 2.4 seconds, cause right now, I only watch the parts with PHILLIP SPAULDING! But that's a story for another day....and did ya see the Mindy is coming back for a visit!!! Crazy!!!)



ok - back on track. Celebrity Apprentice. What makes one a "Celebrity" and who votes on the their Celebrity status.



http://www.dictionary.com/ says this .... celebrity Noun (duh) a famous or well known person.



Right there, I think that eliminates 1/2 the cast this season!! Forget the "You're Fired" part. Not a celebrity, can't be on Celebrity Apprentice.



Annie Duke - seriously? does anyone watch Poker on ESPN? Umm - not in our house. We want quality tv people. Who the heck is she besides some mouthy little wench who doesn't want to sell cupcakes for $7000?



Andrew Dice Clay - aside from his cussing infamy - what else has he done. (Which by the way, he got "you're fired" pretty dang quick didn't he?



Brande (with an "e") Roderick. She isn't even on The Girls Next Door?



Claudia Jordan - ok. Let's be honest. She holds a flippin briefcase that may or may not contain lots of money... aside from that.....nothing. nada. nunca.

Clint Black - MOST definitely a celebrity. Precious man, has the cutest little smile.

Joan Rivers - THAT FACE!!!!! What the heck - how much plastic surgery does one woman need? She looks horrible!!!!! Does she really look in the mirror and think to herself...damn, I look good!!!

And WHY is her daughter on there too? Shouldn't they only count as one person...everything else they do, they do in tandem....I'm just saying!

I love Khloe, but keeping up with the K's is one of my favorite train wrecks to watch..

I get the Dennis Rodman thing too. Poor man, very misunderstood at the looney bin. (Hello, talk about screwed up!)

And I guess in the golf world the golf chick is a "celebrity". Although I am not convinced. And the T in TLC chick? Umm - yeah - not a celebrity, at all.

I think this should be called "Some of us are Celebrities Apprentice, the rest of ya are just Wanna Be's"


And then there is March 12th! Doug Ross, MD is back!!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEE... NBC is doing something right!

It's' March 1st, so Winter is OVER, right?

NOT!!!!

Every weather forecaster and his (or her) brother is calling for SNOW here in Charlotte this evening. One idiot on the news (Channel 36 to be exact) this morning said that the kids are anxiously awaiting a big snow. BIG LIE. There can't possibly be a kid in this area that is begging for a big snow...because they know that if it does, they will lose their BIG Spring Break in April...weather man just trying to keep those rose color glasses nice and shiny I suppose.

It is still raining...hasn't stopped in what feels like 24 hours. Hubby looked out Lola's bedroom windown and told her the pool was finished, he had it put in over the weekend. Sarcasm people, there is that much rain.

Crash is still sick. He attempted going out to dinner with us last night (he had to, we had no power - transformer blew up down the street)....I will most likely keep him home tomorrow and Tuesday. He just cannot handle too much moving around.

Pootie's birthday plans had to be scrapped. We were supposed to be in Atlanta at a soccer tourney with him. He would have been with all of his buddies, happy. Not so much. Hubby and I drove him to Atlanta on Friday night, only to get up on Saturday morning and have the tourney canceled at 7:00am. So we had breakfast and came home. Good times. He did get to go shopping yesterday afternoon for his present. A skateboard. He is happy. Of course, remember, it's raining...so the extent of his skateboarding is in the garage right now.

Good weekend.
