Hot Men Friday
Torrance CoombsDo any of you watch The Tudors?Addicted!Every Sunday night Pup and I are "it's 20 minutes to Tudors babe"!"10 minutes to Tudors"!Even with TiVo, we usually watch The Tudors in real time.Holy hot thighs, this show is sexy on the run. Ruthless people, crazy fashion, overindulged spoiled royals, dark castle halls with acres of walls to get pushed up against. Hand me a cold drink pleas
Bodies
I find this incredibly interesting.Why, indeed, is it palatable to observe all kinds of manufactured cleavage, but not cleavage like this?Breasts move people. At least they used to.Small ones, medium ones, big ones. They jiggle, they bounce, they are delicious!We have been spoon-fed the hard and large surgeon-enhanced canyon-cleavaged breasts to the point where everyone believes that is how wome
Observation
Have you noticed all the acronyms in advertising lately?LBLEDUTIIBSMillions more yes?LBL - light bladder leakage. Hmm . . . can the word "light" ever be in the same sentence as "bladder leakage"? I don't think so.ED - erectile dysfunction. Let's be clear; who's feelings are we trying to not hurt? Shouldn't we really be figuring out why the wiener isn't working?UTI - urinary tract infection. Oh, l
Aaaaaah!
There has been a death.Yes, the coffeepot I have loved for these six years has shit a brick, bought the farm, broke a big nose (wth??), died.Oh the sadness! It burgled and gurgled it's last breath RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BREW! I was ready to hop in Ruby with my Minnesota Twins sleep pants, Crocs, and raccoon eyes to get me some Caribou when I discovered that if I slugged the pot on the right whi
The Things I See
Do you see this the same way I'm seeing it?Or am I just a straw short of a McDonalds' franchise?And why does my thumb look like it just got out of prison?
Overheard
Well, maybe not so much overheard as actually said to me while trying to browse in a furniture store.Vee got new pisses every Friday. You no see something? Vee got new pisses Friday. Vat you looking?

Hot Men Friday
Luke BryanI don't even know what to say about this one. I just may be tripping over the line to the dark side.I blame it on lack of sleep.I do like shiny things. :)
Sweet, Sweet Sleep
I have insomnia.Bad.Real bad.I'm up right now at 1:30 a.m. That wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't been up most of the night last night, and the night before.Why, oh why?I'm constantly on the hunt for a way to sleep.Melatonin - made me have crazy-ass, semi-scary dreams. I still have a bottle in the bathroom.5HTP - crazy dreams, but more just disturbing rather than doom-filled.Potatoes, Not Prozac - t
Family Dinners
With tax season over, and with that the 20 hour days that accompany the season, and the promise of four hour days looming for the summer, Pup was feeling free and easy and sent out a text message to the young uns sayingLet's celebrate, who wants to go to Fogo?Pup, giddy with man-crack excitement(still learning the camera - craptastik photos)That would be Fogo de Chão, awesome Brazilian steakhous
The Weekend's the Thing
Perfect and lovely I have to say.Pup's first weekend of freedom so he was itching to go to a few stores since he hadn't been shopping for nearly four months. Off to the geek store to check out what geeks are wearing this spring. From where I was sitting it was gray flannel pants and baby blue shirts. Oh? That was the store-dudes uniform? My mistake!Hubs wandered off to see what he could see and I

Story from the Files
From the Dating Files - oh so long agoThis was written down shortly after I had my date with this guy. For some reason he reminded of Rocky Balboa. He was short, muscular, and just had that vibe.RockyRocky e-mailed me last Saturday and sounded funny, smart, and interesting so when he asked for it I e-mailed him my phone number. We had a VERY nice chat; waaaaay too long, but witty, fast-paced, and
Dating
I was over at Robyn's blog (great btw - check it out!) the other day reading about her dating life and it totally got me remembering my experiences with online dating a few years back.That's how I met Pup! But I dated dozens of others before finding him. It was a very crazy experience that when I think back to it, I can't believe I had the small-rounds to do it.I had been married for 23 years and
Vogue
I do not watch Glee and probably never will, but I heard about this video from the fabulous Sue Sylvester Jane Lynch.Love this!Vogue from Glee featuring Jane Lynch(Hulu is loading incredibly slow for me so I'm only providing a link, but watch it!)
Minnesota Twins!
If you don't live here, this will bore the crap out of you.I care, I really do. But indulge me today! It's opening day! The official first day of spring in my world.When I was a kid my first sunburn was always at the old Met Stadium with my dad out in the bleachers. On bat day.I remember listening to games on the radio all summer long.Love them!
Story
When I married Pup I got five new sisters.Yes, I said that.FIVE freakin' sisters! I have one. I can't imagine having five!I do think he's the sweetie he is because he has so many sisters and four of them are older than him. He totally knows how women work. For the most part. ;)They're all lovely women, but a couple of them are my favs. Penny Lane (stripper name - again to protect the not-so-innoc
Thrifting a Go-Go
Gorgeous day on Thursday so I went out after class and checked out what was what at a few thrift stores.Didn't get this stack of awesomeness, but I sure wanted to. Anything in this color sends me into orbit. Why why why?And gravy boats. I have a thing for gravy boats. Resisted on this one, but did buy a white Fire King boat. Gravy!More dish love. How cute are these? Why don't I live in a house t

I don't know who this man is. From Italy. Don't I need to go to Italy?Stolen from The Satorialist.
Sad Day for Women in Minnesota
Startribune.comI don't really like to get in political tussles. It usually ends ugly with no one really getting their point across.But every time Michele Bachmann opens her mouth I bite my nails because I know my friends from other states are going to call me and ask, What the hell? What is she saying now for the cryin' out loud?sighNow this.If it weren't for the Minnesota Twins gearing up for an
Overheard
A woman gesturing and babbling to me indicating that she was going to cut into my line to the cashier at the Aldi's.Oh no you didn't! (said with jersey accent)I gave her my bestest mean-momma face. She did not fall under my spell.Grr and arg!
