Date night: Friday night laughs
For our date night this weekend, as mentioned earlier, we went to the Improv to see the oh so funny Jo Koy.
The opening act was Orlando Baxter who was hilarious himself. I laughed so hard I almost spit out my drink on the guy in front of me. It was a full house but after we still got to meet and share a drink with the comedians. It was a great night! For those of you who don't know who either of the comics are, I'd highly recommend checking them out and seeing if they will be coming to a city near you.

I'm a junkie...
That’s right, I’ll admit it. I am a reality TV junkie. It’s a very obnoxious addiction, I’m aware. But like a car accident, it’s almost impossible to look away. Everything from Jersey Shore to Real Housewives to Swamp People, I watch them all. Why, I don’t even know. There are far better shows on TV I could be watching and actually benefiting from. But the majority of the reality TV shows, do benefit me by making me realize how lucky I am to NOT be on any of them… 16 and Pregnant for example.
Did you watch the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last night? I find Lisa Vanderpump to be hilarious. I’d love to have high tea with her. There’s never a dull moment with her and her quick wit. Maybe she and Cedric should have a spin off, oh and Jiggy too. Kim is far too needy and codependent makes me feel sorry for her sometimes. As for Camille, oh Camille, poor little rich housewife Camille… where to even start with her. I do feel bad for what Madame Kelsie Grammar did to her but maybe she shouldn’t be kissing another woman’s husband on the lips. I’d up and leave the Looney tune too.
And now that Jersey Shore is actually back to Jersey Shore, it’s a whole ‘nother season of hair gel, fake tans, and venereal diseases. Not sure why Sammie “Stank-Face” is there since she repeatedly states that she does not want to hangout or have fun with anyone other than Ronnie. (Good pick, he seems like a real winner too.) She always has this stank look on her face like she’s smelling a big pile of s**t. Maybe it’s because she’s always up Ronnie’s ass.
Jennie (J-Wow) scares the crap out of me. She walks in like Andre the Giant getting ready to lay someone out. She probably really can and has ripped a guy’s head off after sex. Yikes.
Pauly, despite his shellacked blow-out, is my fave. He is actually funny and seems sane, somewhat considering he lives in a mad house and by choice. Sanity doesn’t seem to apply to the rest of them, especially Mike “The Situation”. Now that he’s pulling in $10 million a year, I could bet that much money that the only way he is “hooking up” with any broads is because of the dollar bills. But, I’m sure he believes it to be because of his dapperness and charm. Sure buddy, sure it is.
Regardless of my reality TV rant, it’s great entertainment. Can’t wait to see what drama and debauchery happen next week. Stay tuned…

Off the Map- On or off the air?
Did you tune in to watch ABC’s new show, “Off the Map” last night? It was a little better than I expected. The string ray in the foot was pretty disgusting though. I’m not sure why ABC seems to favor doctor shows and why they keep creating more as if there are not enough of them. The show is basically Grey’s Anatomy meets MASH with a dash of a language barrier topped with far better scenic backgrounds.
There’s your typical blue-eyed McDreamy head doctor who you catch giving promising glimpses to the doe-eyed newbie; the fiery Latina with the “authentic” Spanish accent; the haughty second head doctor whom makes it clear the newbies have to prove themselves to be worthy in his eyes; the funny, more immature yet cute new guy, and the guarded, standoffish yet vulnerable blond (Played by Myrel Streeps daught, Mamie Gummer. Really, Mamie? Is that short for something? As if Gummer isn't bad enough.) Oh, still not sure which role the red head has yet.
Hmm… I’m a little skeptical, but so far so good. What do you think- should “Off the Map” be off the air?

He so funny
Just got my tickets to go see the hilarious Jo Koy at the Tampa Improv tomorrow night. If you watch Chelsea Lately, you've seen him on there cracking jokes left and right. He sooo funny. I need a good laugh right now. Can't wait!
If you blog it, they will win
Go Seattle!! That's right, Seahawks took it! For all you Nola fans out there, bye bye! 'Hawks just pulled the rug out from under you. We'll be watching the Brees go by now... Go Hawks!
The Seahawks held a 34-20 early in the fourth quarter before Drew Brees looked ready to lead the Saints (11-6) on one of their patented comebacks. But Lynch broke about a half-dozen tackles for his TD with 3:22 left as Seattle finished
P.S. Happy birthday dad!!
SEATTLE (AP)
Matt Hasselbeck threw four touchdown passes and Marshawn Lynch scored on an electrifying 67-yard touchdown run in the final minutes to lead the Seattle Seahawks to an improbable 41-36 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in the opening round of the playoffs.The Seahawks (8-9) came into Saturday's game as the first division winner with a losing record, yet pulled off one of the biggest upsets in NFL playoff history - with authority.
P.S. Happy birthday dad!!
Seahawks vs. Saints
Go Hawks! I gotta root for the home team. Even though many (and by many I mean pretty much everyone) may argue that the ‘Hawks don’t stand a chance against the Superbowl champs in tomorrow’s game, there’s still hope. They made it to the playoffs regardless of how pitiful their division was this year.

Resolve to resolve
First week of the New Year… Have you kept up with your resolution thus far? I am progressively working on mine. I really need to go by #3… it’s all mental; Mind over matter.
I got back into the gym this week to try to run off all those cookies I ate over the holidays. So far the motivation is there and taking charge. It seems like LA Fitness gave away some free memberships or something because there was not that many people there last time. And I’m not bashing on anyone, but for the newbies, it’s a great step for you to make it into the gym but you have to actually get on the elliptical, not just stand next to it bopping your head to your iPod. It may appear intimidating at first, but one leg at a time and you’ll be off to a great start. The machine is not going to buck you off. It’s just like walking- left, right, left, right.
Resolution/ res·o·lu·tion:
1. process of resolving: the process of resolving something such as a problem or dispute
"the resolution of a difficulty"
2. decision: a firm decision to do something
3. determination: firmness of mind or purpose
4. solution: an answer to a problem
Last call for...
Neiman Marcus (aka Needless Mark-up). Although this isn't my primary store for shopping, (if you know me you're probably saying to yourself, "Duh!") I still enjoy a nice stroll thoughout the store pointing out things I wish to one day be able to afford without having to sell any of my organs to the black market. Luckily for the rest of us, they are having a super sale with major mark-DOWNS. Sweet!

Starbucks switch
Being an avid and devoted Starbucks customer for almost 10 years now, (I am from Seattle) I was a little uncertain how I felt about the new logo. I think I like the last one the best by far... Change can be good but looking at the logo's history, I'm cautious to see what will become of it next. Your thoughts?

New Year's fun
Here's us at the New Year's Eve party. We were damn good bartenders too.

How redneck's keep it classy...
Got this as a gift from one of my "classy redneck" friends from a quaint little store in Dunedin. I absolutely love this. Very convenient and portable. This can go from the bar to the barn.
New year, new you
I hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year. I know I sure did. Kept it a little more low key this year; I still managed to wake up with a pretty ugly hangover though. I guess it wouldn't be New Year's without one.
I'm not one for resolutions but I find it necessary to try to make positive changes and promises that are worth keeping. Now that Christmas has passed and my oven can finally get a rest from all the baking, it's time to make use of my gym membership again and dust off the ol' treadmill to work off those cookies.Good luck on your resolutions or healthy life changes. Happy New Year to all!
Plane panic
Ever get stuck on the tarmac? Yeah, it sucks. On our way back from Seattle yesterday, we ended up getting stuck on the plane, sitting there for almost 2 hours due to a "mechanical issue". Not something you ever want to hear your captain say.
At first I was okay with it. I was so tired that I just passed out. But 2 hours later when I woke up to find we were still sitting there without any air on I was one pregnant lady away from having a panic attack until we finally started moving.
It could have been worse, I suppose, I could be stuck in Jersey.

The Week After Christmas
'Twas the week after Christmas, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my boyfriend's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt---
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So--away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
"Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie--not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore---
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

Not so sleepless in Seattle
Flying out to Seattle tomorrow! Can't wait to see my new nephew and sisters. It's going to be cold but that always makes Christmas seem more official.
Stay safe on the roads. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
