Glee... not so much.

Can someone pppllleeeaaassseee explain to me the whole Glee thing.....seriously.

Much like me and sushi.....  I really really wanted to like the show.  Tried it...couldn't get through it.  Tried it again....nope....no go.

And yet... there they were...thousands of Gleeks (yep...enough of a phenomenon they've got their own "title") piling into the ACC in Toronto over the weekend for 4...I said 4 ...sold out shows!!!!! 

Am I the only one who sees it as a high school talent show?  And really...isn't it only parents who sit through those things??!!  Because they have to.
ok ok...some of the cast can sing....so  I'll give you Karaoke bar instead of talent show....but no more.  :P

People I don't even know who I have a crush on... :)

The first really really really hot day here....around 30 celsius....add another 10 degrees thanks to humidity and you have my first crush...   Willis Carrier is credited with inventing commercial central air conditioning....so yep....love...him.

The obvious for me.....  Henry Ford.....I do love cars...not a cheap hobby btw.  The Hershey family....if I need to explain this to you...well I feel very very sorry for you.  :(  seriously   

random.....

I don't know who's behind the hair straightener...but I love them anyway. 

The person...who's probably in some tiny little cubicle somewhere...who came up with the concept of Cocoa Mini Wheats....truly life changing...truly.  Don't believe me?  Try 'em..I dare you.

Tommy Lee....  it's not even about the music...sure the rockstar thing....  but admittedly probably the bad boy thing.  I do know he's dirty...I just don't care.  :)

Lenny Kravitz...  rockstar thing and music thing this time...  yes I have heard deodorant isn't in his daily hygiene routine...again...I just don't care.  :D

there's enough tmi for now....

It'll be ok...I just know it.... :)

Oh Oprah....how will we go on...

Oh...we'll find a way...

Look...I get it...she's huge (no...not a weight reference)....

I went through my years of dedication....but found the busier my life became the harder it was to relate to her.  How can she truly push weight loss when she has chefs who cook her great food that's good for her.  I'd love that convenience.  How can she talk budget when honestly...she doesn't have one!!!

It's not that I'm bitter about her success.....I just can't listen to her when she talks about relating...how we're all the same.  We're not.  She became a millionaire at 32.....uuummmm...I'm still holding out hope on that one!!  Bucket list maybe ;)

Great that's she's motivated people...truly!

But I am quite sure...life will go on..... 
at least until October ;) ha!

oh Arnold....

ok...time to talk grey...

Forgiveness....we are all supposed to be able to give this.... well I am here to tell ya...that's a grey area....a colour I don't really look good in. :)

Black and white....more my style.

For those of you who think Maria Shriver should stand by her man....forgive him....whatever......  ppppllleeeaaassseee  

I'm not saying Arnold shouldn't have done what he did....feelings change....  But he vowed to be faithful to her.  He should have walked away from her....before doing the tango with another woman.  I get it...that's hard..to break someone's heart.....  So maybe he isn't the tough guy we all think he is.

Am I judging him?....yes....but then again that is my name. ;)

It's too bad we've lost the dress.

Whatever happened to the dress?  Seriously....
In no way am I a girlie girl...  Do you know how hard it is to plan a wedding which has no pink...and no hearts....HARD!!!  I assure you.  :)

aaahhh  yes....back to the dress...

yes yes..."sundresses" are in again this summer....  but I mean the dress...
The tailored, Audrey Hepburn, dress....sometimes slim...sometimes flirty full skirt.

Somewhere along the way we lost the dress.... a strong independent woman wears pants....  :P I say....  (A strong independent woman wears whatever the hell she wants.....  just sayin')

it's too bad...

Us ladies...well....we're lovely...  our figures flattered by a dress....

We should wear them more....  really....we should.

me...venting... not venti...though I'd love one ;)

So there I was doing show prep....and I saw it...the title of an article  "what to do when your husband loses his job"

Now, I get it...headline...it's supposed to grab your attention....it did....

I am not a crazy women's libber by any means....but really.....  "what to do when your husband loses his job"....now that seems to me it's a headline a little more appropriate for say 50 years ago. 

Yes...my husband makes more than me....  But that's because of career choice, not because he's the man.

How 'bout...."what to do when the money stops"......

Phew.....  I feel better.... :)    my vent for the day. 

mmmmmmm cake :)

Today is a day I am actually wishing I lived in Toronto....  crazy...right?!  :)

Dairy Queen gunned to set the record for the world's largest ice cream cake.....yep...ice cream cake!!!   All 22,333.6 pounds of it unveiled!!!!  And here I sit in Cambridge.  boo 

Yes...I teach aerobics and run...but I'm honest....I do those things because they make me feel good.....look good.....and enable me to eat, drink, and be merry!  :D

Seriously....  fruit & nut bar....  hits all four food groups....  think about it.....
see!!!!   Now you're with me!

We only go around once....  You can choose to be miserable and deny yourself indulgences....  or....  you can workout hard, buy spanx, or walk out of a room backwards....whatever you need to do to camouflage that behind! ;)
