My favorite Sesame Street resident, and the winner is announced

As much as I love the more popular Sesame Street characters like Elmo, Big Bird, Ernie and Cookie Monster, there's a hairy pachyderm that captured my heart when I was a little girl. Mr. Aloysius Snuffleupagus, aka Snuffy, is my...

Celebrity Gossip Confessional

I’m a sucker for reality television, particularly shows featuring my favorite celebrities. I spent most of Saturday afternoon fighting with hubby over the remote because I wanted to see all the Kendra and Keeping Up with the Kardashians re-runs, and...

The Shark Guy

My sister and I went to a wake yesterday evening, and afterwards went to Sergio's for something to eat. We walked in and sat at one of the first tables, behind a guy eating by himself. I thought he looked...

XLIV

I'l admit it, the only reason I watch the Super Bowl every year is for the commercials (unless the Dolphins are playing, but that hasn't happened since before I was born). I liked the Doritos commercial with the little kid...

A little bit of everything

My nephew Maxx turned 3 yesterday. Happy birthday, Maxxy!! Saw the VMA's on Sunday. So excited about New Moon...T - 65 days! Kanye West is an A--, and Beyonce is one classy gal! Lady Gaga is such a weirdo, what...

Rigiro

I saw this clip last night and couldn't stop laughing. Remember when cell phones were the size of bricks? It seems that Shaq is trying to bring it back in style. Might fit in his pocket, but it doesn't fit...

UGH!

Our satellite service is down. It's no fun to watch TV if all you can watch is an infomercial channel airing weight loss pill reviews for the latest one on the market, commercials for yet another unnecessary kitchen gadget, and...

Things

Lots to talk about, and little time to do it. Here are a few things on my mind lately: - New Moon Trailer: OME!! I CAN. NOT. WAIT for November!! - Jon & Kate plus 8: So sad to see...

Is it just me

or does the actor playing Ryan on Brothers and Sisters bear a striking resemblance to Edward Cullen? Which reminds me, Twilight comes out on Saturday! Does anyone want to go with me to the release party at Borders on Friday...

A few Grammy observations

(not in any particular order, just however I remember them) - Whitney looks great, but she was definitely a little....off. - I feel terrible for Jennifer Hudson's loss. She looked and sounded great! - M.I.A. should not have been jumping...

An early night? Maybe? Hopefully?

Brandon's homework is done. Both boys had dinner (I cheated...microwave mac n' cheese for them tonight) and hubby is currently bathing them. I'm baking a couple of pork chops for us, with pasta on the side. Both kitchen sinks (yes,...

Blogging will resume momentarily

I started reading Breaking Dawn Monday night, and I should be done this evening. I'll have to finish reading before 10pm so I can catch the premier of Damages. In the meantime, who caught Nip/Tuck last night? What did you...

unintentional hiatus

Been crazy the last few days, lots of stuff going on at work, and the evenings have been quite chaotic, but I do have a lot to say. I'll try to sneak in a post during the day today, and...

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin

When I heard Tina Fey would be on SNL this weekend to do a Palin impression, I knew it would be good. Did you see it? It was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing! Amy Poehler was great as Hilary, but...

It wasn't just America that lost its innocence

A few moments ago, hubby and I were watching "Inside 9/11" on the National Geographic channel while the kids were playing in the playroom. During a commercial, Brandon had come over to ask me a question, and climbed up on...

And so it begins

In a little less than 15 minutes, the Dolphins will play their first (pre-season) game this year. Football season is here! Hubby's got the DVR ready, an ice cold drink nearby, and we'll be eating dinner by halftime. We've got...

Miscellaneous

We stayed home all weekend long, except for a Saturday evening outing to a friend's house. That's very odd for us, but it was nice to vegitate on the couch all weekend, watching movies and enjoying each other's company. If...

This year's Ah-merican Idol is....

David Cook!! YAY!! If you didn't see last night's finale, you can get an almost-play-by-play of the show over at Snark Raving Mad. Congratulations, David! You rock!! Yeah, pun intended. ;-)...

They're back!

Finally, after months of waiting, my Thursday night lineup is back! New episodes of Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy air tonight. I can't wait. Seriously....

New Acquisition

Did I mention we got a new-to-us TV on Sunday? I don't think I did. My great-uncle got a new TV for his family room, and we inherited the old one. It's a 32-inch Sony, and it looks fabulous in...

Brandonism-American Idol edition

Last night, after watching American Idol, which he loves. Me: Brandon, who was your favorite tonight? B: The guy who sang the song from Wizard of Oz. Smart kid! I like Jason too, though not for the same reason. ;-)...

April 24

That's the day new episodes of Ugly Betty AND Grey's Anatomy air. Now you know. Plan accordingly....

Anxious to see McDreamy, McSteamy, and the rest of 'em!

They're back!! Well, sort of. Shonda Rhimes herself has posted on the Grey's Anatomy blog that new episodes begin in late April. I'm counting the days, people, Counting. The. Days....

Scrunchy-Dress

There was an entire episode on Sex and the City about the faux pas of scrunchies. Scrunchies are considered so unhip that Carrie even lost her boyfriend Berger over it (well, not exactly, but that argument was the beginning of...

Random Thoughts

I really miss watching new episodes of my favorite shows. I was eagerly awaiting 9pm last night to watch Desperate Housewives, and five minutes till I realized that it wasn't airing. I hope the strike ends soon! Brandon will start...

Writers' Strike

So far, I haven't been affected by writers' strike in Hollywood and NYC, but I will feel its effects very soon. ABC has stopped production on most shows because they've run out of scripts. This includes Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy,...

In Case You Didn't Know

The actress that plays Kate on Nip/Tuck is not the same actress that was in the movie Summer School. Kate is played by Paula Marshall. Rhonda was played by Shawnee Smith. I know, I know, you couldn't go on without...
