It’s Mothers Day, but I didn’t see any happy mothers @ the emergency room. I saw a lot of adult children talking on their cell phones, ignoring their sick mothers, while waiting un-patiently for their mothers to get out of triage. I also saw a ridiculous foreign couple refuse to give their sick child a chest x-ray. (WTF?)
Yes, I was @ the hospital today, not from the Bronchitis, or the Asthma, or my Ankylosing Spondylitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteo Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, but from bending over to do laundry. Yep, laundry. I am in so much pain I couldn’t even sit down to pee yesterday. I gave in to go to the ER because I was afraid I blew out a disk, as I have 7 and counting that are torn, herniated, bulging and/or protrouding. Nope, all I have is a bad bad case of Sciatica. OMG, I have never felt any pain like this. Sucks. I’m on a ton of drugs, and have to go to work tomorrow, even though I feel this bad. Almost out of sick days.
But, I did however get a lovely basket of purple flowers from my step-children. I’d take a picture if I could walk down the stairs again. But here is a close picture. Petunias remind me of my grandma. And they make me very happy. And Miss Beatrice gave me this lovely card.
Are you ready to go shopping people? Spend, don’t save, and you’ll help the economy! (Or at least that is what “The Man” is telling us to do. I was so excited to get my stimulus check last week … it really does pay to do the direct deposit thing. I wondered what everyone plans on doing with their checks, and would like to hear your thoughts and plans here.
My family is using ours to vacation in Washington D. C. this summer, so we can check out out government at work. And visit our friend who lives nearby as well. Of course, we will be driving, so I’m sure the largest part of our share will go to gas stations during our 10 hr drive.
In case you are not sure when your are getting yours, here is the schedule :
Since I’m home sick with Bronchitis today, I’m not capable of coming up with anything brilliant or original. but I’ll share with you some of the creepy, weird, strange and fascinating things that I’ve looked at online today.
Baby born with 2 faces - She is actually very cute and has a sweet little dimple between her two faces. Her parents believe that she is the incarnation of a Hindu goddess. The month-old girl suffers from what appears to be craniofacial duplication, an extremely rare congenital disorder in which part of the face is duplicated on the head. Media reports said she ate with both mouths and blinked all four eyes.
Tomcat - Baby #2 - Yep, it’s official. Kate wants another baby. Which means Scientology better find another sperm donor. My money is on his cousin who plays Ethan on Lost. They look alike …
Some nutter in Arkansas is preggers with her 18th child. Happy Mothers Day, not! WTF? Who really wants to take care of 18 kids? It lucks hard enough taking care of 8 on Jon and Kate +8. No thank you …
Poor John Locke. Always the loser. Always the underdog. Tonight’s episode shows us how John finally gets his moment to shine. To earn the respect of his peers, to finally be that high school quarterback who wins the game. Here is some great moments from tonight’s episode “Cabin Fever.:
In a flashback we see a young pretty girl named Emily get hit by a car while 6 months pregnant. Her mother was yelling at her, as she was running to meet her older boyfriend. Both she and the baby survive. She names the baby John and abandons him at the hospital. We hear a nurse comment how this baby was a miracle baby, who he as the youngest preemie ever to survive. Then we see Dr. Richard Alpert, and the nurse assumes he is the bastard child’s much older father. Even though it is around 1950, Richard looks the exact same age.
John is home with his adoptive family when Dr. Richard Alpert comes to visit him again. Richard runs a special school for gifted children. We see a creeping picture mini John Locke has drawn of what looks like Smokey from “The Island” killing a man. Richard pulls out a bunch of crap for John to pick an item that belongs to him, and John picks the big knife, which was obviously not his. Richard leaves in disgust.
We see a teenage John Locke stuffed into a locker, and saved from his nerdy teacher. The teacher tells him about a science summer camp in Portland run by a company named Mittelos Bioscience headed by no other than Dr. Richard Alpert. Hmmmm ….. John tells the teacher he’s into sports and not science and gets downright nasty saying something like “Don’t tell me who I am/or what to do.” (I’ve got Bronchitis tonight people, so I can’t remember every detail.) He refuses to go. So twice he refuses to go Richard.
John is at his Physical Therapy place when the orderly strikes up a conversation with John, and tells him how he survived that fall, etc. Tells him to go to Australia and go on a walkabout. Discover himself. Tells him how he did it himself, and he changed. And this man promised John they’d meet again. This man was … not Richard, but that black man that visited Hurley at the mental home .. and the man who was Naomi’s boss, the man working for Mr. Widmore, Matthew Abaddon. Freaky Deaky people!
It’s my conclusion that “The Island” brought John Locke to it, since he wouldn’t come willingly. And, after viewing the end of the episode, I feel that all of our major characters have good reason to be on that plane as well. We all know this. But I’m getting too far ahead of myself….
John has a dream while searching for the cabin . He meets a man named Horace, who is cutting down trees. He tells him he’s been dead for twelve years. And he starts bleeding from the nose. Soemhow, John wakes up and realizes what he has to do. He takes Hurley and Ben to the mass grave of the DHARMA Initiative, and starts digging around in the grave. He finds the dead body of Horace, and pulls out a map to the cabin. What is weird is that Horace had a mathmatition patch on his shirt. Even weird, I thought, was why was a mathmatition chopping down trees. And that is when the thunder bolt hit me hard. Horace is Horace Goodspeed, of Horace and Olivia Goodspeed, the couple who help Ben’s parents in the woods, and ultimately give a job to Ben’s father Roger, which brings Ben to the island. Interesting, right? I’d say so. So “The Island” found Ben as well.
Martin Keamy, the nut job back on our boat the Kahana, gets a sos signal from our gang at the beach saying that the doctor washed up on shore with his throat cut. Later that night, as Keamy goes nuts and kills the captain, he also becomes suspicious of the doctor, and slits his throat, and throws him overboard. No need to be suspicious, that was just the weird time travel thing “The Island” has going on. Keamy forces Frank to fly them back, and Keamy plans on torching “The Island.” Frank drops a bag to the gang on the beach, and it has that tracker mechanism going off inside of it. Jack decides it means for them to find the pilot.
John, Hurley and Ben finally find the cabin. Ben wont go it, and he laments that Jacob/The Island was done with him, after giving him a spinal tumor and killing his daughter Alex. He waits outside, and Hurley splits a candy bar with him. A great comic moment.
John doesn’t find Jacob in the cabin; instead it’s Christian Shephard and his daughter Claire. Who looks weird and has a double chin. Huh? Christian tells John not to mention that Clarie was there with him, and that the baby didn’t belong in the cabin and that he was where he needed to be. He tells John to ask the one important question … and … John asks “How do we save “The Island.” You see where its all going on from here.
Next week’s episode looks fantastic, we see someone in a ship say “They are calling you the Oceanic 6.” OMG, how does it happen? How do Kate, Jack, Aaron, Sun, Sayid and Hurley all get off “The Island?” Wait, is it by the boat that Sayid has taken from the Kahana? Or does the pilot come through and save some of them? Will Desmond’s prediction of seeing Claire get on a helicopter come true? Or was Charlie’s death senseless? Damn, I’m so sad to think that this is the beginning of the end for LOST!
Oh, and this will freak you out …
Abaddon (Hebrew:אבדון,Avaddon - destruction, abyss) , in demonology, was chief of the demons of the seventh hierarchy. He was called The Destroyer and, in the Book of Revelation, St John called him the King of the locusts (Rev 9: 7-11).
All I have to say is that David Cook murdered one of my all time favorite concert songs experiences. For proof, see my previous Top 10 Concerts in my Lifetime post.
How are Idol fans still voting for him? He’s so stupid and arrogant. And he rips off other singers styles of retro songs. Bastard. I hope he goes home tomorrow.
Poor Mary Kate Olsen. First she suffers from an eating disorder. Then she gets dumped by Stavros, who goes on later to date the anti-christ, Paris Hilton. Then she has to leave NYU and move back to LA. She even has Heath Ledger die on her in her apartment. And now this. Her twin sister, Ashley Olsen not only scores 47th on the list, poor MK doesn’t even land on the list. How is this even possible?
I think the Olsen twins are adorable, (After they left Full House they really grew into their looks) and was even honored with the nick-name “Olsen Twins” back in my flight attendant days. (Ok, we were all blonds with big eyes and semi-big lips. I used to be much cuter. You get the point. I looked like their way older sister.)
But how is it possible for one to be that much hotter than the other. It’s not like they are like the Bush twins. They really look a lot alike.
It’s almost 1 am, and I am just exhausted. My day job is becoming so frustrating. People are quitting left and right, and I can’t even take my breaks, get my work done, and then there is all that other crazy crap that I’m dropping for now. But I’m also busy selling Partylite. Which is fun, as I love earning free product and getting some extra cash, (And just look at what I bought yesterday with my first paycheck-Kathy Van Zeeland, don’t hate) but hectic, as starting your own business takes it’s toll. And when my mom’s BFF work friend bounced a check to me, I was not pleased. But I got her to pay me back + fees, so no worries. A simple threat of going to the police did the trick.
I’ve either been @ a Partylite meeting, on the phone, setting up my new Partylite website, or sending out emails since 5 pm today. So that’s 8 hours of horrible work during the day, followed by another 8 hours of work. Whew! I’m tired!
I’ve also got a secret, but I’m not saying anything until 3 weeks from now. I don’t want to jinx myself. Just silently pray for me. Seriously. I need all the good ju-ju I can get.
And yes, my Boston pictures are coming. It’s tragic that I don’t have them yet. Especially since I’m anal as hell.
For instance, after my honeymoon to England, Scotland and Paris, I went straight from the airport to the doctor, as I had Pnemonia, and then went straight to costco.com to download my pictures. I had them printed and in new photo albums by the next day, even with Pnemonia. So, yes, this delay is more horrifying to me than you.
That’s all I got, as I’m hit! Oh, wait. I loved Iron Man. Saw it yesterday. I love comic book movies. Can’t wait for The Hulk with my boyfriend Ed Norton and Batman.
Rock of Love producers, are you f-ing kidding me? Even though Ritchie Sambora was stupid enough to cheat on the lovely Heather Locklear, then date her BFF Denise Richards, and then get arrested for drunk driving, is he sleezy enough to have his own dating show? That is a HELL-to-the-NO!
Bret Michaels leaving the show is a bummer, esp. since he is stuck with the actress Ambre Lake. We know it’s not true love. Can’t you replace him with Tommy Lee?
He’d be the obvious choice. That man is rock and roll. And he’s already had reality tv experience (Remember when Toomy Lee went to college? Awesome!)
My, god, even better, how about Kid Rock. Either one of them could bring on Pam Anderson to interview the final girls. That is one show I’d watch and blog faithfully about.
Bret sucking face with every nasty skank in Hollywood gave us some of reality tv’s finest moments, and I wont have Ritchie dull it down. We ROL fans love our cat fights and blatant on-screen sex, and I don’t think Sambora can fulfill our needs.
Anyone who protests Ritchie taking over the reins, please comment below.
It’s still a rumor, but I believe it … and you know you do too.
Jay-Z has planted his ugly seed into Beyonce, and she’s having his baby. Hello, can you say shotgun wedding! The rich and fabulous throw massive weddings, so why else would Beyonce cheat herself, unless this rumor is true? Haven’t you noticed how much bigger her belly and boobs have been lately?
Wait a minute, who knew they were even dating? Man, who knew? And who is he, a sports guy? Never heard of him. I’m thinking that this was yet another celebrity gone wild impulsive move. See results (DIVORCE) for Pam Anderson, Britney Spears, etc. Do any of us out there even think for a second this will last longer than 2 years? That is a hell to the no. Mariah Carey seems too diva-esque to have a man in her life full time to me. She’s a great singer, but in my opinion, probably a beeotch in real life. Have you ever heard about her red carpet clause for hotels? Ha ha ha …
So many things to celebrate tonight! We learned so much again on this episode of LOST. Here are my top 10 moments from tonight’s episode “Something Nice Back Home.”:
Jack and Kate are together, off the island, and for a few days, were happy. Jack even proposes to Kate and she says yes. But of course, he gets his evil drunk rage on and “fricks” it up by pushing Kate to tell him what she was doing behind his back.
Kate fulfills her promise to Sawyer by finding Cassidy, the last woman Sawyer conned and who landed him in prison; also the woman that he had a daughter with named Clementine. Kate was on this errand, to give Clementine money, when Jack found out about it and started a horrible fight in which he tells her “she’s not even related to Aaron,” which, of course, Aaron overhears. BYW I love that Aaron had a Millennium Falcon toy on the counter. (Star Wars, people, star wars …)
Claire goes missing! And Aaron is let alone. And, mother of god, it is confirmed that her dad and Jack’s dad are one and the same, and that he is on the island … Remember a few episodes back when he was spotted in Jacob’s rocking chair in the cabin? Where did he take off to with Claire, and why would she leave her baby alone in the jungle.
Jack has surgery. Juliet and Bernard operate on Jack and all is well. Just before Bernard knocs Jack out, he tells him to dream of something nice back home. So, was Jack really dreaming about proposing to Kate, or what?
Rose brings up a great point to Bernard - “People get better on this island, not worse.” So, why is Jack sick? Rose’s cancer is gone, and John Locke is no longer paralyzed. So why does Jack have a bad appendix?
Jin and Sun rock, they are such the power couple these days. They don’t trust Daniel and the sassy redheaded scientist, and even Jin catches on that our sassy red head understands Korean. He threatens to break Daniels fingers one by one if she doesn’t get Sun off the island, and folks, this is how we know that she is saved.
Jack visits Hurley in a flash-forward and Hurley freaks him out when he says that Charlie wants to tell him Jack shouldn’t raise Aaron. And that someone from the island will be visiting him … and Jack’s dad appears before him at the hospital. What is the deal with Jack’s dad? It’s killing me. Perhaps he was a part of The Hanso Foundation ….
Juliet is still a bitch, and tells Kate about her kiss with Jack. Even though she plays it off by telling Kate that Jack was trying to prove he wasn’t in love with Kate, still, Juliet has become very bitchy after all these years being on this evil island.
Asian ghost whisperer works overtime and discovers the bodies of Carl and Rousseau. He freaks out Claire, and all of a sudden those men who shot up The Others camp come running out of the jungle. Thankfully they weren’t spotted, or were they? It seems like Claire’s disappearance might be related to that dude from the ship with the crazy eyes who killed Alex, Ben’s daughter last week.
Preview from next week show us that John Locke finally reaches The Temple and meets a dude who has been dead for twelve years. WTF? It’s not Jacob, is it?
OMG, now that it’s May, I’m officially ready to pee my pants in anticipation of this movie. Even though it’s been four long years without SATC, I’m still a huge fan of the show. I miss my Sex and the City parties on Sunday nights with my friends Ana and Jen. Who doesn’t love high fashion, NYC, high heels, Cosmopolitans, ladies with sex drives and hot bods, and Mr.Big?
Also, I’m excited to share Mr. Big’s full name here: John James Preston.
And, one of the best lines from the movie ..
Mr. Big to Carrie “Should I get you a diamond?”
Carrie to Big “No, just get me a really big closet.”
That is so our girl Carrie….
Check out a trailer for the Sex and the City movie:
Apparently Bobbi Christina, 15, got into an argument with her mother and then tried to stab her mother. Bobbi Christina then slit her wrists, and is currently in an Atlanta Psych ward.
So, Trailer Park Barbie, my witty southern white trash blog twin, has tagged me to do this meme. Although, after posting just about everything about myself, I’m hopping I can come up with something decent and charming here. Check out my 101 things about me if you like what you read here.
1. I love being outdoors. Not that I’m like Ms. Sporty, but I used to walk 4-8 miles per day faithfully for years and years, well, hell, my whole life. Rain or shine my ass was out there, enjoying the fresh air. I wish I lived in the mountains so that I could sit outside 24/7 and just relax. Maybe someday I’ll get to move to Wyoming or Utah.
2. I’d love to work for a non-public organization, and/or a recreation department, or even a summer camp. It’s been my dream since age 8 to be a camp director (and strangely enough, a writer.) I hope to one day see these last dreams of mine come true. I have a degree in Community Development/Public Administration, with a minor in Recreation. Anybody friggin’ hiring in MI? I would be eternally grateful.
3. I used to love technology, but now I’m starting to hate it. Don’t get me wrong, the internet is great for educational purposes and of course entertainment. But I hate to always have to text people, check email, etc. I miss writing old fashioned letters and waiting the day for an important telephone call. It makes me sick to see people on cell phones @ restaurants, etc. It’s like more technology = less free time.
4. I can’t stand being fake to people, or being around fake people. I have an honest policy - if I hate you, I ignore you, and you know it. I’ve worked hard in my life, and I like to get by on my merits and not my popularity, so too bad if I’m not an ass kisser. I hate people who are one, and I promise that I never will stoop down to that level. I also hate lazy people.
5. I love reading and learning about buddhism. But when you talk religion. people freak out. So this is probably the one and only time I will share this: Buddhism goes beyond religion and is more of a philosophy or a way of life. Buddhists generally believe in:
leading a moral life,
being mindful and aware of thoughts and actions, and
the importance of developing wisdom and understanding.
6. I am a fricking nerd. I could go to college for the rest of my life and be happy. I love nothing more than reading and discovering new things. This is probably why I can’t tolerate lazy people, as I can’t fathom why anyone would not want to get smarter, learn more, do more, be more.

Shame on you Kwame! I have been waiting for those damn text messages to become public and today is the day we all get to know the truth. WHAT THE HELL is going on in Detroit? Mayor Kilpatrick has been up to no good from day one. Hiring every relative and friend from high school, driving around a $25,000 mini van, having like 12 bodyguards get paid to guard him 24/7, and he even stands accused of hosting a secret party that ended in the death of a local stripper.
My damn friend (who will go unnamed here) worked on Kwame’s campaign, and sometimes I like to secretly blame my friend for the mess in Detroit. I have never seen so much crap in the news about a mayor in my life. I can’t even recall half of what he’s done here. All you need to know today is that Mayor Kilpatrick and his lover Chief of Staff Christine Beatty engage in naughty sex talk and discuss reorganization of the Detroit police department’s internal affairs department. These text messages are at the heart of the settlement of the whistle-blowers’ lawsuits of the fired officers.
Judge Robert J. Colombo Jr ordered the release of the texts today. Thank you Judge! The document you are about to read was recovered from the computer of Attorney Michael Stefani. He represented three police officers in whistle-blowers’ lawsuits that were settled last year for $8.4 million by the city of Detroit. Mayor Kilpatrick and Ms. Beatty face felony charges and jail time because of this.
Happy Reading … if you suffer from ADHD, ADD, or whatever … just start reading page 9 to the end. That’s where the good stuff begins.
Miley Ray Cyrus … she’s 15 and partially naked on a cover of a magazine. WTF?
Miley, or MRC as I like to call her, is everywhere these days … award shows, tabloid news, concert stadiums, even still on Hanna Montanna on Nickelodeon. Is she really on her way to becoming the next Britney Spears?
Take a look at Britney back in the day .. on the cusp of womanhood? It’s the beginning of the end for Miley, I’m afraid.
They are both southern girls, both dancers, actresses, and singers. Their families love the limelight. They both were on kid shows, then moved on to movies.
Flash forward 10 years from now and I’m worried what will happen to this girl. America, let’s save her!
I should have posted this earlier … as I’m a huge fan of the former Drew and Mike Show on 101.1 WRIF in Detroit. Tuesday morning I woke up to hear that 1/2 of my favorite morning duo quit after being on a leave of absence for 6 months. And the story broke in the papers, and not on the show. Which was sad and confusing to everyone.
Detroit LOVES Drew and Mike. They even had better ratings in Detroit than the Howard Stern Show. It had been a wonderful 16 years. But Drew is moving on … and we will all miss him. I was freaked out when WRIF suddenly changed their website and myspace pages to read Morning Show. It’s hard to imagine my mornings without him, but wish him well with whatever he does in the future …
Howard Stern wack packer Kenneth Keith Kallenbach, 39, died of Pneumonia while in police custody this week. He also had Cystic Fibroysis, and Pneumonia is particularly deadly (Obviously) for those who have such a disease.
Strangely enough, Kenny was in police custody since March when he was picked up for an attempted child abduction charge - he apparently was arrested for trying to entice a young girl into his car.
Now, I haven’t listened to Stern’s show since he went to Sirius a few years back, but I remember Kenny. Kenny has also appeared in the films Girl, Interrupted and Jerry Maguire. What is weird is that nothing is mentioned on Howard’s website at this time.
Ok, I was tagged to do one last week to do this, and even though I searched my blogroll and my comments, I can’t find out and/or remember who tagged me to do this. So I apologize right off the bat. But it’s 2 am and I should be sleeping …
5 THINGS IN MY BAG:
1. My Coach wallet, that I may have picked out myself for Christmas. Come on, like my husband was really going to drive up to the Coach outlet store 1 hour away to buy it? I don’t think so …
Petunias remind me of my grandma. And they make me very happy. And Miss Beatrice gave me this lovely card.
