Christmas was a HUGE success. Thankfully, my mother does NOT get the concept of stopping when it comes to shopping, so Tre and I did way better than any 33 year old should! We now have a vacuum cleaner that works, a hard wood floor cleaner, silverware, games and a Tony Little stepper that Mom saw on QVC. We also got two new Wii games (Super Mario Bros and Wii Sports Resort) which entertained the family for HOURS on end! Now just looking forward to dinner at Mexican Radio tomorrow night with some of my oldest and dearest friends!

Merry Christmas one and all!

Gotta give them credit.. they know how to elongate their 15 minutes of fame and not take themselves too seriously! Hysterical! As far as the show goes, I watched last week's episode last night. If I were those girls, I'd be only SLIGHTLY pissed that the guys basically talked smack about them the whole episode.. I think if I saw guys being followed around by a camera I would A) NOT go home with them; and
B) NOT sign a disclaimer.

My local newscaster mispronounced Corey Haim's last name this morning during the birthdays. She's not old enough or young enough to not know how to say Haim.. It's not that hard.

Yikes... not a Merry Christmas in the OC..

Seriously.. NO ONE on True Blood deserves love more than Lafayette!

Even I'm sad to see Melky leave the Yanks... even if it's just cause I liked the "got melky?" shirts! Not sure that was the best deal the Yanks could have gone with, but we'll see.. The O's signed a one year deal with infielder Garret Atkins, which isn't a bad thing considering our corners are light, if not nonexistent!

I watched Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas last night. It's my only Christmas tradition and it made me want to go outside and cut down a Christmas branch. So, Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

Interesting.. I guess this helps answer my "natural causes" question from yesterday!

Am I the only one who has an issue with the fact that the runner up for AP Female Athlete of the Year is a horse? At first I thought I was reading it wrong, but I'm not.

Ok, I hate to be the speculative sort, but it's REALLY strange for a 32 year old to drop dead of a heart attack and have it be "natural causes." If I remember correctly, Michael Jackson died of natural causes too... until the autopsy results came back!

Regardless, it's a tragedy and I feel awful for all Brittany Murphy's friends and family. While I found her to be slightly loopy, I really enjoyed lots of her movie roles and it's terrible that her career and life have been cut short in such a.. dramatic fashion! Perhaps I shall have a Clueless-Girl Interrupted film fest in her honor... after I watch Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas. Priorities...

I'm having a hard time believing this one... It might be because I adore him as a choreographer, or it might be just because the whole situation sounds slightly shady. I mean, if someone molests you, you don't wait to tell on the off chance they might hit it big some day. I hope this turns out not to be true!!

Carrie Underwood got engaged to her hockey player boyfriend over the weekend.. Yay love.

Hopefully this is just the start of something good....

I wish this gave me no reason to continue watching Jersey Shore, but sadly, I'll still tune in. Damn you MTV and damn you Jersey!!!

Can anyone say (in six months or so, for legal reasons) fantasy threesome? ;)

This is totally something I would do... I told Tre, next year's Christmas card is all about chest bumps and ugly Christmas sweaters...

I don't know if anyone has checked out UPromise.com, but if you do a lot of online shopping, sign up and do it from here. You can get yourself a check at the end of each quarter, or put that money towards a student loan. There are some good percentages to be made off it and anything that will help me to pay off my loan before I collect Social Security can't be a bad thing!

1 - I don't get it. 2 - Love is blind. 3 - Talent is sexy. That's all I've got to explain this.

In other couples news, the ink on the paper announcing their separation is hardly dry, but Dawson's found himself a lady friend.... .

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett (Go Colts!) welcomed their first child, a boy, this morning in Indianapolis. All the girls next door and Hef are ecstatic...

Glee's fall finale was Wednesday night and what a great one it was! Lots of amazing music and the outcomes you were looking for.. unfortunately, we have to wait until APRIL for new episodes! However, if the guest stars go in this direction, it'll be worth the wait.

Wednesday night was a great night for reality TV, but I can't say I was happy with all the outcomes. SPOILER ALERT: The Voltaggio brothers and Kevin were put to the test in the finale of Top Chef and basically, Michael Voltaggio (the douche of the bro's) took the crown as he screwed up less than the other two. At least they did keep it in the family and since he doesn't already own a restaurant, I guess he can put the money to good use.

Ashleigh was unable to dance at all this week on SYTYCD, but instead of ousting her straight away, the audience was allowed to vote for her. The sympathy vote and Ryan's impassioned plea to keep her on the show didn't even put her in the bottom two, which I thought was kind of unfair. Mollee and Ellenore were in the bottom, and Mollee was let go, which was surely unfortunate and kind of a shock for her, as she had, BY FAR, her best week on the show. It's amazing what a partner like Jakob will do for you. I will seriously be shocked if he doesn't win the entire thing, but stranger things have happened. As for the guys, the bottom two were Ryan and Legacy, and while I was sure Legacy was safe, I was once again proven wrong as our favorite b-boy shuffled back home, leaving Ryan and Ashleigh to finally dance together in the finale. I have to say I was disappointed.. While I like them both, I would have been OK with them going home together. I'm saddened America... you let pity and sympathy cloud your vote! And again, I'm still on Team Jakob.. hee hee..

With all the zombie and supernatural fuss lately, I had wondered if Pride & Prejudice & Zombies would be made into a movie. Enter, Natalie Portman.

Toine is either a closet reality show fan, or he just knows what I like and wants to please me :) Regardless, he's the one that sent me this link today...

I have yet to watch last night's episode of Jersey Shore, but at least here's one mystery that's solved. Don't get me wrong, I find the girl to be annoying, but I still don't think she should get punched in the face by any guy... unless he's her plastic surgeon....

What's so wrong with originals?!

Anyway, that's all I've got.. Happy Friday.. Happy Weekend!!!
