Yeeha, Tonight is the reunion! This is gonna be good. Yowzers. I missed the wig pulling show but there is a rerun on Bravo now and I am laughing so hard I think I may have...oops.

Oh My....

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

I have never been a fan of JPG.

His designs are a little too edgy for my taste

But this little beauty is amazing.

Michael Jackson: Is this it?

When I was a kid I loved MJ. My mom listened to the Jackson 5 and I collected all of MJ's CD's. WOW What an amazing talent. Do you remember the Thriller dance? The pictures of him together with Brooke Shields? Another of my all time favorites at the time was Tatum O'Neil. So preppy, together with MJ....

BUT THEN there were the allegations of child abuse. I was appalled. Granted, MJ was a little nutty but what great talent isn't. Look at Andy Warhol but child abuse.......I couldn't believe it but his weird behavior has always been well documented and although he was exonerated there was always that little part of me that wondered if it was true.

Still, the tour "This is It" could have been the most amazing comeback of this century and I would like to see the documentary of MJ's last days....maybe a glimpse into the life of Michael Jackson...the real Michael Jackson.

I realize there are a lot of people out there who are saying there are body doubles and he's not really singing but it is a movie after all and it is a tribute to his talent that AMG/Sony figured out a way to save their investment and bring the show to the world rather than 50 venues.

I never got to see Michael Jackson live but I have seen the tapes and that proves he had an amazing talent and for that, I will always listen...because it's human nature, right?

Target Visa: Broken Promise

Last month I made a little pact with myself that i would not buy any shoes until the Target Visa was paid off. Well, um.....  Eliza B was having this super fab sale and I could not resist. Oh, and at the outlet well Kate Spade was having a sale and i have wanted the firefly sandals for a really long time and they had my size. They never have my size. It seemed like Kizmet. So, promise broken.

On the upside I am thinking about going back to work. It's getting lonely at home by myself and I am tired of home improvements. Who knew that so many things needed to be done? I certainly never noticed that the door trim was looking drab until I retired or that the pot light surrounds in the ceiling looked grungy and I seem to be moving the furnature a lot.

So if anyone knows of an opening for a person in Florida with an MBA let me know.  :)

Have a great day!

Yeah Baby

It's Friday and although it has heated up again I am having good times in the garden today. Unfortunately the pump on the Koi pond gave out but hopefully it's just clogged..so I will prob be spending the weekend cleaning the pond and unclogging the pump. :)

Smiles all! Have a great day

McDonalds Monopoly Game

I'm not a gambler. When the hubs and I go to Vegas we go for the shows BUT I am addicted to this monopoly game. I'm not sure why. I don't play the Subway monopoly game but I love this game! So far I have won a breakfast meal, 2 small drinks & 25 coke points. I know, thats not so great..but when the online roll starts I'm like, 2 2 2 please 2.    :)

Have a great day!

Maytag Digital Washer

I have the Maytag digital washer and dryer and I love them BUT the new LG washer & dryer with the steam/wrinkle reducer looks so awsome and after spending 3 hours ironing today I wish I had them too.

Whoo Hoo it's 73 degrees!

I woke up yesterday morning and had this amazing burst of energy. When I went outside to visit with the Scoob it was 73 degrees! Yipee! No humidity and a beautiful morning so I rushed inside and woke the hubs to make a plan. I got dressed and ready in about 5 minutes flat and we went to Orlando outlet shopping! I couldn't believe he agreed to go. We stopped at McDons for fortification and 90 minutes later were in the land of OZ. Holy Moly, I thought we were in a recession. I had to park in spill over parking. I guess everyone else had the same idea. I ended up with some awsome deals. Ralph Lauren Chinos $110 for $10 so I hooked the hubs up with 3 and I got a Coach scarf and gloves for half off. SCORE. The only problem was I was in such a rush I forgot my sunscreen and now my face is pink. :)

Have a great day!

Yipee, It's FRIDAY!

Yeah, yeah, yeah...it's fri-day... but USF lost to Cincinatti last night super sad ...ok no more soda for me!

Have a great day!

NEW TAMPA WOMENS CLUB

Hi there, feels like 100 degrees and 90% humidity today & I had my first Womens Club Event (I'm a provisional member). It was called Trash to Treasure and the team got donations together from all the memebers and we participated in a giant yard sale at Hunters Green. My goodness it was hot. I'm pretty sure I wont be volunteering for anything outdoors anymore. hahaha

Have a great day!

Dave Attell: Comedy at it's best...

My husband and I are big comedy fans. In fact, we go to the Comedy Festival in Las Vegas every year. It's the best vacation we take. I usually like to see comedians like mikebrbiglea but my husband loves Dave Attell. He used to have this show that was pretty crazy so I wasn't too excited but it turned out to be super funny and we had a great time. BUT then....he walked outside! I couldn't believe it :) so I threw my camera to the hubs and asked if we could take a photo. He was so nice. I explained that my husband was his biggest fan so in the picture he's trying to wave the hubs over. We talked about the festival and he said he was doing NY instead but he would check it out. He ended up in Las Vegas last year after our little chat. Cool, eh?

My favorite Housewife

I was watching the Atlanta Housewives and I really like Kandi. The others are so show-offy. She has real accomplishments to be proud of. I look at all these women and I'm a little bit jealous. Who wouldn't want a Range Rover or a big shiny diamond or a giant donut...yeah I'd love a doughnut, which one is the right one. Who cares as long as there is dough. They prob don't eat doughnuts. OK, have a great day.

What I want for Christmas.....

Oh, my god! I got the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog today & I know what I want for Christmas now!

WOOOHOOO, look at this:

ICON A5


Who wouldn't want their own plane? The ICON A5 ($139,000; 2010) is a two-seat sport airplane aimed at the masses. Designed to be "predictable and easy-to-fly," the lightweight personal aircraft is amphibious with retractable landing gear for flying off land and water alike. The A5 features a carbon fiber airframe, a 100-hp/120-mph Rotax 912 ULS engine (that runs on both auto and aviation gas), and folding wings that allow it to be stored at home and towed on the highway with a trailer. If you don't think your weekend piloting skills are up to par, fear not — the A5 comes with a bevy of safety features. Included will be a propeller guard, wing angle of attack indicator (sounds important), and a huge, built-in parachute that helps the entire plane come down a little easier in an emergency.

Atlanta Housewives Ex Dead

Pay it Forward: Psychological Assessment Resources

This week marked the end of the United Way Campaign for the hubbys company and today they had a big celebration. PAR has about 50 employees and this year the PAR team donated 90K+ to the United Way! Yipee, go TEAM!

The theme of the celebration this year was under the big top so they have had clowns come in and a magician, those cute bags of peanuts that they have at the circus, carnival games like ring toss and they had a giant group of balloons that each employee got to pick from for a super prize. One person won 40 hours of vacation time! Awesome. They also had a speaker whose life had been changed/saved due to the services offered by United Way. The hubs said everyone was choked up and had to take a little break after....

I must say I have never known a company that took such good care of its employees and the community that supports it. Way to go PAR on another year exceeding your United Way Donations Goal!

BUT....the best part is there were tons of leftovers from the party and the hubs, in his infinite wisdom, keeps a little stack of to go boxes in his office for just such an occasion! He arrived home with 2 salads and 6 slices of pizza! :) SCORE! No cooking for me tonight!

Have a great day!
