Dear Blogger,

**Try updating your WEB browser if you are having trouble viewing my blog.
K? I use Mozilla Firefox. Thanks!**

What is UP?
Why is some of my post publishing in the sidebar?
I am sad.
Guess it is a sign.
I need to STOP blogging altogether.
NUTS!
I hope Blogger resolves this soon.
Or I’m packing my bags and moving to WordPress.
Ok?

Testing, Testing, This is a test, Can you read me?

**AHEM** PEOPLE who cannot read my blog. Try updating your browser. I use Mozilla Firefox. that could be your problem. Thanks!

It has come to my attention that my blog is not viewable.
Some of my readers were saying that they could not read my one of my blog posts, it was doing something freaky and it was in the sidebar or something.
Weird.
That’s when I went ahead and and checked her out.
I could read it.
It was the Guilty pleasures post.

Which actually could have been written a TON better, because I wrote it late one night and I was tired and when I re-read it in the morning it did NOT make sense.

Here is a Re-cap of my GUILTY pleasures–

1. Manicures. Love the manicurist lotioning my hands and massaging them. It is a wonderful feeling.

2. chocolate. Yum. Stressed? Eat a little bit of chocolate. It is divine.

3. Reading. Love it. I love the escape where my mind takes me.

4. Baking. Love Baking. But cooking? *rolls eyes* I would like a chef please.

5. Tropical Island. I go there in my mind somedays. I am wearing a smoking HAWT bathing suit and Big STRONG muscular men are lathering me with lotion. Ahhh! I think I might just attend this tropical island today.

6. Writing. almost as good as reading, because it allows me to escape reality and indulge in my character’s heads for a while.

7. Spoiling my cats. I love to pick up tuna at the store for my cats. They LOVE it and I love to feed them. 😉

8. Blogging/Comments. I love to blog. Something bothering you? Write a post and escape to your blog. Instant feedback and support. (Well almost instant.) I love to comment on people’s blogs. I love the connections that are there to make when you comment.

9. Bubble baths. Hot water running across your body when stressed. Is there a better feeling? Perhaps. But sometimes at the time, a hot bubble bath will help you relax.

10. Twitter. Love it. It’s like a shorter blog. A mini post if you will. And with Twitter you do get instant feedback. (If you have enough followers that is.)

That is MY REAL guilty pleasures list. Sorry I confused you all by writing LATE at night. I think I make a lot more sense in the morning don’t ya think?

You may have already won 1 million dollars!

You are a WINNER! You have won 1.56 million pounds.
Please email me your name, telephone number, address, credit card numbers, AND all important identifying information to me.
Then I will mail you your British pounds.

HA! Yeah right!

I am so sick of seeing this in my email. I may have already won a million pounds!
Jeez. *SIGH*

I have several things to discuss today.

–First, It is kinda bugging me that EVERY time I turn on the TV in the evening to watch my shows I can’t. Cause almost EVERY network is either talking about Haiti (I am praying for these people and doing what I can, but EVERY network?) AND this evening when I turned on the TV all I saw was Obama. Come on, please? I need some comedy in my life.

–I am making my first cake this weekend and will be decorating it. It is my husband’s grandmother’s 92nd birthday party. I’m excited!

–Today on Twitter, almost every other tweet was talking about the ipad. Did Apple just come up with something new again? Jeez. I mean, if you are on twitter, lay off Apple and the ipad. It’s old already.

— This weekend I am going to try and catch up on my reading. I have borrowed some good books from the library. Roald Dahl, “Charlie and the Chocolate factory” AND “BFG.”

–I am glad to be a part of the blogging community. It had opened up my eyes to marketing in a WHOLE different way. If any of you have heard of Seth Godin and NOT read his books yet Please do. Every blogger should read him. Start with the book, “Meatball Sundae.”

–Anyone hear of Blogtalk Radio? If you were going to host a radio show what would you talk about? I am seriously considering this possibility. Would any of you readers tune into my station? I’d give you the link of course. (It’s on the computer.)

–Heard enough of my blabber? Ok. I’ll shut up now. I’ll try and come up with a clever title and throw in some lovely pictures and be done for the evening. Thanks for stopping by! I sure appreciate ya!

Wordless Wednesday


(I’m giving myself the cool sign, I worked out for 30 minutes for 2 days thus far in a row…I’m on a roll. I will NOT give up.)

If I can get on the treadmill and push myself ever so hard, you can too. I’m on your side people. Come on, let’s take this losing weight and getting FIT challenge together…K?

Hubba, hubba Is it getting HAWT in here or what?

Okay. I worked out yesterday for the first time since Decemberish. I was feeling quite good that I actually got on the treadmill. I turned on the TV to see who was on. I watched the end of Oprah. Then my all-time favorite show came on. I usually miss it for some reason. But not anymore. Look who Ellen had on her show just for me. (Well not exactly just for me but it felt like a celebration since I was working out.)

Just watch. (I still have more post after the video, if you are still around.) 😉

Who wouldn’t want to work out with these guys around?
Or get to dance blindfolded (or hop in their case) around these sexy men?
Ahh. I kicked it up a notch and instead of 3.5 MPH I walked 3.7 when they were on. It was like I was trying to walk to get to the Ellen show.

I just want to thank Ellen for the surprise. I mean, I have been procrastinating lately about exercising. I don’t know why.

I mean I feel GREAT after I work out. It’s just getting that butt in gear.

From now on, I will picture these guys when I run on the treadmill.

Total time on treadmill: Approx. 32 minutes.

It’s also Ellen’s birthday this week. I’m definitely going to stay tuned. Maybe there will be more HAWT men on the show…

So that was my surprise as I jumped on the treadmill yesterday. If I lived closer to Ellen, I’d hug her. Or at least buy her a drink. Cause man ALIVE, Ellen, you ROCK!

Fill in the _______ Friday!


Thanks Google for the above image!

I was hopping through Blogland this morning looking for a lighter post for Friday. ‘Cause I don’t know about you but when Friday comes I am done. Literally. My brain is fried. Well, I found something. Unexperienced Mom is doing Fill in the blank Friday. Something light and fun.
And who couldn’t use another movie to watch.

Today’s Fill in the Blank Friday question is:

The movie I could watch over and over again is ____________.

(I had to think about this one. I have several movies I like to watch over and over again.)

But here it is: BEST THREE movies I like to watch over and over again. Sorry I couldn’t pick just one.

1. Clueless (Yeah, I like the high school movies for some reason.)

2. Little Women (You know the movie with Susan Sarandon and Winona Ryder?)

3. Freaky Friday (The one with Lindsay Lohan and Jaimie Lee Curtis in it. See what i told you about HIGH school movies? I love them!) It is kinda odd cause I HATED high school. However I do like watching the movies…;)

Any-hoo, If you wanna join the fun, Go on over to UnexperiencedMom’s site AND linky up with your fave movie! OR two or three!

(Instructions on her site.)

HAPPY Friday! I’m so GLAD Friday came!

I have some EXCITING news!!!! :)

Well EXCITING for ME anyhow.
You might not even want anything to do with it.
Any-hoo on to the news.

Yesterday I was minding my own business as usual, tweeting at the usual tweeps, and one of my pals mentioned she got to join a round table discussion with Mom Talk radio. Well, I asked her how I could get in on all this discussion and I emailed the gal over at Mom Talk radio.

Well, she emailed ME back today.
She asked me to join a discussion on Mom talk radio!!!!

*Insert shrieks and screams here*

Okay, I’m done. So the low down is they are going to record it tomorrow morning, and then broadcast it on Sunday the 24th. If the radio station is in my area, I will be able to listen to it. (They broadcast nationally to 40 different stations.) If not, it goes on the web for all to hear my voice. YES! (I’m still waiting back on which radio station to tune into.)

THE best part?
She didn’t have a topic for the show yet.
She asked me if i had any topics to go ahead give her some ideas.
AND then….

She picked MY idea!
Which was: How do we as mothers manage to stay on top of it all? OR how do we appear to look like we stay on top of it all?

Good topic huh? Well, if you are a Mom it is. After all it is called Mom talk radio.
(Psst. What else do Moms want to know anyway? Besides, I was hoping to pick up a few pointers.)

The ultimate BEST part of this whole deal? I get to plug my little old blog some more. LIVE. On a radio station. Cool, huh?
Hope I don’t get stage fright. They are calling me tomorrow. YIKES!

What have I gotten myself into?

It will be fun. I’m sure. Right?
Well, yeah. I’m still excited. At least it’s just my voice.

That’s MY good news for yesterday.
Do you have any good news you’d like to share?
