Yes, these very words were uttered to me this morning by my adoring husband.  In previous pithy posts I have divulged bits of the nightmare that is my husband's life since he married me.  While he is a good and kind man, were it not for his marriage to me, he… Read full post »

 Last night while watching the train wreck that is The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo there was an advert for an upcoming show called Launch My Line.  This gentleman, and according to Google a longtime fashionista called "Dandy" in New York, Patrick McDonald was the parti/… Read full post »

There are a lot of reasons I hate Twitter.  Anything that can manage to pit Ashton Kutcher against CNN is inherently wrong in my world.  I want to see Ashton in an oil wrestling match with Gerard Butler not competing for twittering twats with Wolf Blitzer.

Last night as I… Read full post »

Now normally I am not a mustache loving girl.  Tom Selleck never did a damn thing for me, which is probably because he is the poor man's Sam Elliott.

Whether playing a cowboy

or a biker with a heart of gold

I've been on the bench since my return from Jamaica.  The pain medication that the doctor has prescribed for me tends to make me lethargic, if not narcoleptic. My husband has on more than one occasion found me face down in my dinner or snoring away on the couch using one… Read full post »

When I was a teenager I went through that phase.  You know, the one where you figure only the supernatural can have the answers to teenage angst and believe that love spells will work on the boy you love who has no idea you're alive. Back then  I was learning to… Read full post »

I'm having trouble concentrating today. It could be this, the view from my desk, or it could be the constant interruptions from the hotel representative who keeps coming in to take an inventory of the amenities in our office.  I suspect she thinks we might be stealing towels, which… Read full post »

After a number of delays, I arrived here at my hotel in Jamaica around 11:00pm.  I was tired, wearing too many layers for the local weather, and looking forward to a hot shower and a nightcap.  I got into my room just in time to answer the phone to a call… Read full post »

 I’m not a natural traveler. I have traveled a significant amount in my lifetime, but I’ve never learned to do it particularly well. I over pack. When you’re going somewhere for three to four weeks, you never know what you’re going to need, and when you’re working… Read full post »

Last night the husband and I were watching NCIS.  Yes, we're that lame.  Aside from Mark Harmon aging well and still being totally hot, one of the reasons I enjoy the show is the character of Abby Sciuto played by Pauley Perrette.

 I don't know Pauley Perrette personally, and h… Read full post »

It seems that I am continually waging war between my personal quest for self-improvement (screw self-acceptance) and my limited budget.  For example my breasts, which seem to have appeared fully formed as a D-cup when I was 10, have met with the effects of gravity.  While I have no desire t… Read full post »

Okay... so I was disturbed that Miley's quitting Twitter was news.  But now I'm speechless and feel that you too should share my pain.

Yeah, it's true. Teenage popstars can not and should not rap. Read full post »

Dear Miley;

I'm heartbroken, just heartbroken, to hear that you will no longer be tweeting on Twitter.  The news of your decision has sent me into a spiral of depression that I am not sure I will ever recover from.  Your cryptic final tweet has left me confused and longing… Read full post »

We've all had those days when our hair won't behave, and we've all had those dreadful haircuts that make us want to take a pair of scissors to our hairdresser.  My first bad haircut was in the fifth grade when the Dorothy Hamill wedge haircut was all the rage.  Unfortunately the… Read full post »

This morning, while watching Kathy Lee and Hoda Kotb on the Today Show (we'll discuss the poor judgment this shows at another time), Hoda Kotb tried and succeeded at pissing me off.  In the opening dialogue of the show Hoda and Kathy Lee start talking about the David Letterman scandal… Read full post »
