A Post With Uncomfortable Words

I sent the following via text message to a friend this afternoon…
“Romantic comedies = Emotional porn for single women”
Now, I would like to mention here that I hate the word “PORN”.  There are certain words that just bother me.  I also hate the word “CRABBY”.  I have a friend that hates the word “PANTIES”.  And [...]

Things I Don’t Like

Sometimes when I’m having blog related writer’s block…I make a simple list of things I’m loving at the moment and post it.  Sometimes I make a list of people…sometimes it’s a list of beauty products…sometimes even a list of restaurants.
I’m not in that kind of mood today.  I’m someone annoyed.  And pensive.  And sneezy.  But [...]

Oh. My. Word.

If there were ever a good reason to blog three times in one day, this is it.
Prepare yourself.
I was out at lunch running errands and listening to the radio…
The radio DJ starts talking about Brian Dunkleman.  Do you know Brian Dunkleman?  He was the co-host (with R. Seacrest) for the first season of American Idol. [...]

Twilight Zone

I’m watching Good Morning America.  They are talking about the cold weather and telling people how to prevent frost bite.
It’s almost 50 degrees here.  In Alaska.
WEIRD.
The roads are so bad that they cancelled school AGAIN.  Double weird.
AND, the winds are blowing at insane speeds.  Hurricane force.  Literally.
Driving on solid sheets of ice in high wind.  [...]

My friends
My aunt Cissy
And, the rest of [...]

So…this week has had it’s ups and downs.  I’m going to focus on the ups.  A few random things I’m lovin’ this week…
*TOP CHEF!  Did anyone else thing the elimination before the show even really started was a little harsh?  Harsh…but I loved it!  It was so funny when Padma told Lauren to “pack her [...]

Life Lessons from Grey’s Anatomy

Grey’s Anatomy is one over my very favorite shows. 
Last night’s episode made me think.  Did you see the storyline about the elderly couple?  (The wife had a brain tumor.)  If you haven’t watched it yet…I won’t spoil the ending for you.  So…you can keep reading.
The wife was going into surgery…apparently one of many surgeries she [...]

Election Memories

Those that have known me for a long time know that I luv luv luv to watch election coverage.  LOVE IT.  (Hi…my name is Davita and I’m a nerd.)
I’ve only been able to vote in three presidential elections so far.  I early voted in this one…(great way to miss the lines)…and I’ll be watching coverage [...]
