Hey! It's Tracy!

Pooooooor Lilo

2010-07-20T12:12:00.000-07:00

Yes, I did that....I made a little Lilo Tribute picture. I truly feel sorry for this girl. I KNOW....I KNOW she did all that stuff and she deserves to be in the klink. AGREED, no need to try to convince me of that.

However, you can't deny that she is talented. I don't care if you like the type of movies she is in, she was/is a talented actress and I think a decent singer too. She sang in a few of her movies and has some stuff on iTunes. I actually have Drama Queen (That Girl) from her movie Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen on my ipod. I'm not afraid to say so, and I think I'll play it loudly at the pool this weekend! hahahh!

Obviously, it is HER fault for HER actions. BUT....I must believe her crazy orange mother, Dina, is at the root of all this madness. That woman was the biggest enabler I have ever seen. She was in the news saying - "They are making an example of my daughter and it's not right." No, lady....it's not right that she drove drunk TWICE and was caught, the reckless driving with the people in the car.....but it's your fault for letting her think that she could get away with it with a slap on the wrist. Did you think it was a smart idea to go to Caan for the film festival? REALLY? And how dumb do you think people are....her passport wasn't stolen. YOU are putting all these things in her head that says "it's ok Lindsay" and IT'S NOT! I BLAME YOU FULLY FOR THE MESS THAT SHE IS IN.

She was seen going into Lindsay's house the day before she got carted off to jail and said "It's Mommy" when she was standing at the door. I'm sorry, but if you refer to YOURSELF as Mommy and your kid is over 8 - you are nuts. This just shows how wacko their relationship is. But then again, I think it's cute when English people call their Mother's "Mummy". I love that. Mum is good, Mummy is nice.....but Mom or Mother I believe is the best way to go.

OK, getting back on track - Michael Lohan is just plain gross. The way he is going about saving his daughter is just annoying. I think if my parents had a problem with me, they'd talk to ME and not Larry King. They'd come to my house with a dessert....not the cops to break in. The ONE thing that is good about her ex-father, is at least HE realized - along with the rest of the world - that Lindz had a problem. Orange Mama kept denying it and feeding her with yes Lindsay, do that Lindsay, it's ok Lindsay, you don't have to go Lindsay, let's go here Lindsay, you're so great Lindsay. tsk tsk tsk.

I was also telling my friend Micah that Lindz probably wasn't even drunk when she kept falling over in bushes when the papps were taking a zillion pics with zillions of flash bulbs. Poor thing was BLINDED...not drunk. Girl wears some FIERCE shoes and I would fall too if there were cameras and flashes in my face ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME.

What I am hoping will happen is Lindz does her time, or at least part of it.....enough of it to make a difference in her head, and that she comes out of there smarter, wiser and a better person. I really like her. She is just messed up by soooo many things and this HAS to be a good thing for her.

I hope also while she is in there she applies to be adopted by Brad and Angelina.

Lady Gaga Got Everything She Knows From Madonna | The Frisky

Robber!

Thief!

RUUUUUDE!

The most PERFECT song ever....

2010-06-14T12:33:00.000-07:00

Glitter in the Air
Pink

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Closed your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight

Lady Gaga Alejandro

Please....let me review this most ridiculous video for you.....don't waste your time. I already did.

Dude in fishnets

Dancing men in black and white film

Blah Blah with cans on her face

Uh oh....someone is dead

Feeling very Evita....walking infront of a coffin

Is that someone's heart? Or is that Cherry Cobbler on that pillow?

Why does that guy have a golden gun aimed at his package?

OK Blah Blah...you're not Evita/Madonna...so cut it out

Seriously....are those soup cans?

Oh look! Madonna Truth Or Dare dancers!

Hmmmmm, guys running around in a circle with matching underpants?

ooooooooooh, now they're wearing high heels and they're strapped to beds!

Blah Blah is now prancing around them in her underwear

**One word Blah Blah....OxyClean should brighten up your dingy underwear**

Predictable.....she's feeling all of them...rubbing all over them

Boooooooring

Really? Now you're wearing a nun's habit with the cross upsidedown?

Oh fun! The Underwear Gang is now tossing the Nun in the air

Apparently no food at the video shoot....she just ate her Rosary

WOW! ABBA hair and this looks ALOT like Express Yourself

......I am only at 5:52 of this 8:43 minute lameness

WHHHHHHHHHHHHY

I do believe she is now channeling LIZA and doing some of her Broadway moves

REALLY? Machine Gun Bra???? What a rip off of the Madonna CONE BRA! HELLLO!

Oh good....a full minute recapping the crap we just saw for the past 6 minutes and 30 seconds

HUH? Some random city is now on fire?

Guess that must be Alejandro...he looks sad

Maybe HE set the town on fire because he didn't get the matching underwear

Those silly underwear boys! Tossing the nun around again!

Sister Blah Blah seems to like one as she is now on top of him

SUUURE! Lots of Nuns flash crowds of boys

There he is again! The guy with the golden gun pointed at his package

BEST PART OF THE VIDEO - BLAH BLAH'S FACE MELTS OFF!

And there ya go....the whole video. Thank me later for saving you the time of watching it

hey....what's up

2010-05-03T14:49:00.000-07:00

Not much here actually. Same stuff, different day, but not many complaints! Florida is finally back to it's normal self so Hunter and I enjoyed some sun on Peanut Island yesterday with our friends Moira and Glen. I think we are all today paying the price of minimal sunscreen. My shoulders are still feeling hot today! The sun took so much out of poor Hunter, he fell asleep at 8 and slept til 630 this morning! LOVE LOVE LOVE that kid!!!

Rich AND Cool!

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault , so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Whatever will I talk about today? Let's just talk about what I've done so far today....

Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head. Actually, I can't comb my hair as it is much too thick.

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup. Well, I live in a condo, so it was more like I found my way into the kitchen and had a nice cup of coffee WELL flavored with Hazelnut Coffeemate.

Looking up, I noticed I was late. What got me behind was I realized I forgot to write a check for Hunter's upcoming field trip then I emptied the dishwasher and I put a load of towels in the washing machine...time just got away from me.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat. To be honest, I wasn't having a bad hair day, so I didn't need my hat and due to the fact that I live in Florida, I said forget the coat, too.

Made the bus in seconds flat. I don't even think there are busses where I live, so I just took my car.

And somebody spoke and I went into a dream. Wait, that was a phone scam....that wasn't a dream. People were screaming at each other. In my dreams Madonna is having coffee with me and we are on a boat in the Mediterranean.

A Clothing Crisis......

2010-03-31T12:42:00.000-07:00

My darling sister is coming to visit me in a few weeks...She is having a clothing crisis and doesn't know which dress to choose for a wedding in The Keys that is on a boat. My vote is for choice #3. LOOOOOVE that dress! The other are cute too, but I am a fan of #3!

Voting on this clothing choice is more important than voting for American Idol.....Please exercise your RIGHT to vote and do your part in this monumental event!

Huh?

“I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don’t know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East — you’re as good as dead.”

- Elton John tells Parade

RESORT.....doesn't always mean NICE.....

2010-02-15T15:46:00.000-08:00

Hunter and I decided to take advantage of the nice long weekend and visit St. Augustine - The Nation's Oldest City! I was hoping to go somewhere else, but that is another story.....

So when I was booking our hotel online - I THOUGHT I had found a great place! I mean with words like BEACH and RESORT in the name, you would think it would be a nice spot to spend a long weekend. Welllllllll, it wasn't.

The first thing we noticed was possible blood on the door.....

As you can see, the security system on the door was AMAZING

Yes, we felt very safe.

108....not so great

Everything that was "silver", was rusted

Hmmmmmm, what is that?

Broken.....AND held together with masking tape.

Not only is the toilet GROSS, you had to GET INTO the shower, to close the bathroom door

Interesting patch job

You could see outside....through the side of the door

And the pool was 1/2 empty.....loooong drop for a kid on the slide.

The good news is - after a full day of sight-seeing, we got there late, so all we did was sleep, wake up and check out. Oh, did I mention there was no hot water either? DELIGHTFUL!

The city of St. Augustine was soooooooo cool! Hunter and I had a great time and will definitely be back again! However, we will stay in the historic district the WHOLE time and not get fooled by the sweet words of BEACH and RESORT ever again! Those GREAT photos will be up in a day or two!

Bored? BEWARE!

2010-02-11T05:43:00.000-08:00

According to a study from University College London, you really can be BORED TO DEATH.

In the 1980s, a pair of researchers from University College London wanted to find out if boredom could affect a person's health. So they surveyed 7,500 civil servants in the UK, and asked them if they'd been bored at work in the past month.

Then last year, they followed up on the study to see where the civil servants are now.

What they found is that those who reported they were bored at work were TWO AND A HALF TIMES more likely to have died of a heart problem.

In other words, boredom actually CAN kill you!!

Roses....what do they mean?

Valentine's Day may be a SHAM HOLIDAY, but who doesn't like to get flowers!
--With that in mind, here's a basic guide to flowers and the meaning of each color:
--RED flowers symbolize romantic love, passion, desire, and eroticism. And the darker the red, the deeper the love it symbolizes.
--BLACK flowers symbolize a loss, but they can also mean elegance, power and mystery. Plus, sending black flowers is a great way to freak someone out . . . you know, if you're kind of a psycho.
--WHITE flowers symbolize purity and family. They're ideal to send to a family member or close friend.
--YELLOW flowers symbolize friendship and happiness, and can be used to express congratulations as well.
--GREEN flowers symbolize fertility.
--PINK flowers signify femininity, sweetness, and charm.
--PEACH flowers signify appreciation, and sometimes gratitude.
--ORANGE flowers symbolize fascination and maybe a hint of mischief. If you're into someone but you haven't told them yet, send orange flowers.
--LAVENDER flowers symbolize trust and nobility.
--And BLUE flowers typically symbolize peace and tranquility. But they can also be used to express trust and contentment.
And now you know!

oh the good old days.....

Sony.......isn't very smart....

2010-01-27T12:34:00.000-08:00

So remember back in October when I saw This Is It? I believe my review of the movie is proof how much I loved it and I think I stated in it that I had already pre-ordered my DVD.

So yesterday, the 26th....was when the movie was available in stores EVERYWHERE, I assumed that when I got home it would be in my mailbox.

BUT NO!

It wasn't there. What is the point of pre-ordering something if YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT CONVENIENTLY? I did the pre-order to show my support to Sony, MJ's people etc etc. I pre-ordered it so I wouldn't have to go to the store and buy it....that it would just appear in my mailbox on the day of release.

BUT NO!

So I tracked down my confirmation email and called Sony. I only had to wait about 15 seconds on hold until a real person answered the phone, who proceeded to tell me - "Yeah, we don't have any, just go buy it in one of our Sony Style stores."

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??

"Yeah, we don't have any, so I will just cancel your order and you can go buy it at one of our Sony Style stores."

"But I ordered it in October....it came out yesterday.....why don't you have any for people who pre-ordered it?"

"Yeah, just go to any of our Sony Style stores and you can buy one there"

"But I already ordered it here....from you.....I don't want to go to the mall and buy it. I wanted it delivered to my mailbox."

"Yeah, go to Sony Style and you can buy it there."

"Do you realize how dumb this is that I PRE-ORDERED it and I didn't get it on the day of release because you didn't send me one?"

"Yeah, we don't have any, you'll have to go to Sony Style and buy it there."

I swear if she said Sony Style one more time I was going to scream.

After it became clear that she didn't realize my total and utter devotion to one MICHAEL JACKSON, KING OF POP, I just told her to cancel my order, in which she responded.....

"Yeah, now just go buy it at one of our Sony Style stores."

AGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Needless to say, I will be purchasing mine ELSEWHERE!

Dreams.....

2010-01-25T14:23:00.000-08:00

Had the weirdest dream in a long time last night.....dreamed I had penguins for pets and they lived in my mailbox. I consulted my What's In A Dream book and surprisingly, there was nothing in there about it. Nothing about penguins....nothing about mail boxes......odd.

New Prince Song!

2010-01-22T11:40:00.000-08:00

Click here to hear it!!

http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/sports/prince-reveals-song-for-vikings-saints-game

Prince has released a new song about the Minnesota Vikings, inspired by a big win over the Dallas Cowboys and days ahead of the NFC Championship game in New Orleans.

“I saw the future,” said Prince.

Prince was in attendance for the Vikings 34-3 win. He said he went home night after the Cowboys game and wrote the song, "Purple and Gold," which he says came easy and fast.

"Purple Pride" was given exclusively to FOX 9's Robyne Robinson on Thursday. The Vikings love it and put the song on their website Friday afternoon.

Purple and Gold Lyrics

the veil of the sky draws open the roar of the chariots touch down we r the ones who have now come again and walk upon water like solid ground as we approach the throne we won't bow down this time we won't b denied

raise every voice and let it b known in the name of the purple and gold

we come in the name of the purple and gold all of the odds r in r favor no prediction 2 bold we r the truth if the truth can b told long reign the purple and gold

the eyes say ready 4 battle no need 4 sword in hand we r all amped up like a rock n roll band ready 2 celebrate every score ready 2 fight the elegant war ready 2 hear the crowd roar

that's what we came 4 and so much more in the name of the purple and gold r spirits may b tired r bodies may b worn but since this day is r destiny r history – that's y we must b 4ever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings' horn in the name of the purple and gold

CHORUS

COLD COLD GO AWAY

2010-01-06T11:28:00.000-08:00

While I do LOVE to wear cool jackets and coats and stuff......I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND I GAVE MOST OF THEM AWAY WHEN I MOVED HERE! What am I supposed to do now? Buy new ones???? .....ok. I'm going shopping.

Doritos......

2009-12-07T06:27:00.001-08:00

Yeah....I couldn't do it. I'm back on my Dorito addiction. It worked for about 3 hours. I was too embarrassed to blog about my relapse until now.

DARN YOU FOR BEING SO GOOD!

The end.....of an era....

2009-11-19T13:08:00.001-08:00

It's the ONLY thing I have known for so long.....

but I must bid adeu to.....

DORITOS!

People.....I turned 40...yes, 40.....a few months ago. I estimated that over the years, I have eaten approximately 3,800 bags of those delicious orangey triangles.

THREE THOUSAND, EIGHT HUNDRED BAGS

I can only imagine what my insides look like. My veins are probably coated with that cheesy goodness.

I'm not talking about the lunch size bags either....I am talking about the regular size bags. I used to be a "bag a day" person, but I am down to about a 1/2 bag now....but added a 1/2 bag of M&M's to the mix....yes, the big bags....not the little bag from the vending machine.

I realized I don't want to die when I'm 52, so I have taken the first step - I met with a personal trainer! I'm not saying that Doritos are killing me, but seeing that THEY are the staple of my diet, I am going to assume that they can't be as good for me as something called "broccoli" or "salad" might be.

I will keep you posted as to where I'm going and what I'm doing as soon as I make my first appointment!

I'm excited ya'll!

I'm nervous already. HOW CAN I GIVE UP 1 OF MY TRUE LOVES? Doritos have been with me my whole life! Cookouts, parties, job changes, boyfriend breakups, vacations, roadtrips, even when I had my son - right there in the delivery room I had a bag of Doritos.

Alllllllllright......I can't do it. I will cut down. I will ask my trainer dude what my daily allotment is for Doritos and will cherish every chip that passes my lips. If only they made Doritos light. How can I deprive myself of something so sinfully delicious?

I will cut down...I promise. But due to the recession and not wasting anything, I will be finishing the bags I have. It's the right thing to do. Why let those little guys go to waste. An ear of corn waited it's whole life to become a famous Doritos....I can't let it down and not appreciate the sacrifice it made to make me happy.

.I just re-read this.....I am insane.

2009-11-03T06:20:00.000-08:00

My Auntie Suse sent me this email this morning and I thought I would repost it to you!

People with clutter sometimes see their life challenges as unique and especially difficult. It's not true, but I understand why they reach that conclusion. Clutter is isolating, physically as well as socially. Much effort is expended hiding the clutter from others to the extent that the cluttered lifestyle prevents a person from developing close relationships.

If you can't have people over to your house, if you can't really talk about your life with your co-workers, if you don't have close friendships, you won't see that everyone has challenges to overcome. Not only will you have a lopsided view of your life as compared to everyone else's, but you'll miss out on the benefits of sharing your life with others, allowing them to provide support when you need it and giving your support in return. It's a two-way street that makes life richer, more enjoyable and much more manageable. Let's use the analogy of seeing the glass half empty or half full. Do you see everyone else's glass as overflowing while your glass has a hole in the bottom?

Louise Hay, motivational speaker, author, and founder of Hay House Publishing, promotes a uniquely positive approach to life. She, like many others, talks about the value of gratitude. But she is the only person I have ever heard recommend being thankful for your bills! Her reason is valid and worth considering. She says to be grateful for your bills because they represent others' trust in you. Other people have extended credit to you, provided services or products in exchange for your promise to pay them in the future. The bills are your opportunity to make good on your promise to pay for things you have already received such as electricity, phone service, a roof over your head, that wonderful restaurant meal, or your new shoes. Since we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving soon, this month's newsletter is about transforming complaints and challenges into opportunities for growth and gratitude.

Be grateful for your challenges. They make you stronger, more resilient and adaptive.
Be grateful for cloudy days. They help you appreciate the sunshine.
Be grateful for crabby people. They provide an opportunity to be kind.
Be grateful for the flu. It encourages people to wash their hands.
Be grateful for chilly fall days. They help our bodies prepare for winter.
Be grateful for your spouse or partner. They remind you that your way is not the only way.
Be grateful for your clutter. It gives you a reason to change your ways.
Be grateful for difficult relatives. They help you appreciate your friends.
Be grateful for the snow. It cleans the pollutants from the air.
Be grateful for the people who drive slowly in front of you. They provide an opportunity to look around and appreciate the beauty of the season.
Be grateful for demanding children. They remind us to give them the attention they deserve.
Be grateful for junk mail. (If you think of one for this, let me know!)
Be grateful for those who promote conflict. They strengthen our resolve to find a peaceful resolution.
Be grateful for your mistakes. They are opportunities to learn and grow.
Be grateful for people who are different. They remind us to celebrate our diversity as we strive to appreciate our similarities.
Be grateful for people who are negative. They make it easier to see positive alternatives.
Be grateful for your full calendar. It means that others value your time and ability.
Be grateful for economic constraints. They remind us that what is truly important in life can't be purchased.
Be grateful for your life today. It represents your choices thus far.
Be grateful for this list. It has come to an end!

THIS IS IT

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!

I would have to totally agree with Liz Taylor on her quote:

"You owe it to yourselves and your loved ones to see this again and again. Memorize and say to yourselves 'I saw GENIUS in my lifetime"

Obviously you all know I'm a HUGE Michael Jackson fan, so you probably figure that my review will be reflecting that fact. Well, let me tell you - even 1/2 fans of MJ will completely enjoy this movie. Honestly, I was a little afraid that I was going to have to sit there and listen to stupid commentary from the Jackson family with concert footage thrown inbetween. HALLELUJAH - Not ONE Jackson family member weaseled their way into this fantastic film. This Is It is 112 minutes of pure Michael Jackson concert rehearsal footage. And let me tell you - there were NO body doubles at all. There was no place that a body double would have been needed. You get to see MJ interact with the dancers (who are fantastic), the musicians and director Kenny Ortega.

MJ looked GREAT! The man is tall and skinny. Has been for years and years and years. He was having a great time and didn't look ill at all (which clearly says to me - he was carelessly murdered by that stupid doctor).

The production elements for certain songs (I don't want to give anything away) was definitely some of the most impressive work I would have seen intertwined with any artist in any concert.

I was also appreciative that there was no sappy ending. At the end of the movie, the movie ended....that was it. No need for any sensational video footage of ambulances, hospitals, vigils or a funeral service.

So take it from me and Liz - DON'T MISS THIS ON THE BIG SCREEN!! Sure you can buy the DVD at sonystyle.com/thisisit, but seeing MJ do all his dance moves HUGE is unreal.

The cool lanyard I got!

OK, now on to THEATRE ETIQUETTE......

1 - Don't bring a 3 year old to a movie unless it's a cartoon. There was a kid that kept saying "is it over....is it over....is it over" whenever there was a silence.

2 - Don't TALK....big fat DUH. There were 2 foreign ladies behind me that talked the whole freakin' time. I even did the turn around/evil scowl face TWICE and they didn't stop.

3 - Should you feel the need to share your Tootsie Pop stash - don't yell down to the person 5 seats away to ask if they want one.

4 - If there are numerous seats open, don't sit right infront of someone. I moved seats twice so I didn't have to have someone's fat head inbetween me and the moonwalk.

So with all that said - please silence your cellphone and enjoy the mindblowing rehearsal of what would have been THE concert of a life time!

THIS IS IT

My Dentist Adventure

2009-10-13T12:23:00.001-07:00

Whoa......that is all I can say about my experience today! It was so weird that I honestly can't believe it! The weirdness has nothing to do with my fabu dentist - Dr. Ricci. I had a filling today and let me tell you - no pain, and I didn't look like Mary Jo Buttafucco for hours afterward. The man is amazing! A true artist of the mouth.

The weird part is how my mind want WACKO on the happy gas! I've been getting happy gas forever and I love it! Not in some crazy happy gas addict type person, but I mean, if my teeth are getting drilled, I might as well be high as a kite for a few minutes. My teeth have seen their share of the dentist chair, so I'm well aware of the magical-ness of the gas, but never in my life have I had such strange things going on in my brain!

Here are the highlights - at one point I thought the lady in my mouth was Mimi from Days Of Our Lives (Farah Fath - who now plays Gigi on One Live To Live) and had no problem with her there, once I thought I was in Dr. Hecher's office (childhood dentist), at one point I questioned my age, I also was expecting to see my old neighbor Jeff Engle, my grade school principal Mr. Engen and my 6th grade teacher Mr. Hall. I also thought the light thing was reallllllly long and scanning my face. And when I say questioned my age - I honestly thought I was in 6th grade again. I was questioning if my life really was where I thought it was, or if it was all a dream. HONESTLY! It was the strangest gas experience of my life!

Usually I'm just like goo in the chair, today was bizzzzzare! And the good news is, I have to go again in a few weeks! I wonder what will happen next time!

If anyone is interested - there is a SARAH SILVERMAN / JIMMY KIMMEL sex tape. It was supposedly filmed a few years ago, when the two of them were still together, obviously. The video they say it's about 15 minutes long.....they did not comment on Jimmy...

*

Are JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and JESSICA BIEL still together??? Or has Justin ditched Jessica for RIHANNA??? We still don't know the answer . . . but the rumors are flying. "People" magazine says Justin and Jessica ARE still together. Their so-called "source" says, quote, "They're together. They're not breaking up. Any time they spend time apart it's because they're working." "Us Weekly" claims that Justin ended his relationship with Jessica - over the phone - about a month ago.

*

Did you know MARIAH CAREY would only be photographed ONLY FROM HER RIGHT SIDE. Well, now that she's older...dont' tell her I said that....she has become friends with her left side. She said "Someone told me when I was 19 starting in the business, my right side was my best side and I listened to them. I don't care anymore. Sometimes I like [the left] side . . . and Nick likes that side better anyway." ...keep in mind Nick sees the worst talent in America every week.

*

Surely there are better ways to keep your self grounded if you're a star....But one star says --"At one point I was digging goat manure and putting it into a wheelbarrow, and while shoveling it, I just went, 'Oh, my God, this is exactly what I want to be doing right now.'" This gem came from Ellen Page of Juno fame. Wouldn't just shopping at Target be good enough to keep a star grounded? Brit Brit shops there.....

*

British people are known for their bad teeth, fish and chips and their fun cockney slang....they're not known to be great lovers of film apparently. Here is a list of their top 5 movie heroines......

#1.) Erin Brockovich . . . played by JULIA ROBERTS in "Erin Brockovich".
#2.) Clarice Starling . . . played by JODIE FOSTER in "The Silence of the Lambs".
#3.) Lara Croft . . . played by ANGELINA JOLIE in the "Tomb Raider" movies.
#4.) Ellen Ripley . . . played by SIGOURNEY WEAVER in the "Alien" flicks.
#5.) Sarah Conner . . . played by LINDA HAMILTON in the first two "Terminator" movies.

Ummmm, Cristabelle Abbott...Paris Hilton from the Hottie and the Nottie? HELLLLO.

*

She's baaaaaaaaaaaack! Well almost. Eliz Hasselbeck will be back on The View too soon in my opinion. She'll be annoying you on a daily basis beginning on October 19th.

*

Another day, another tantrum by Kanye West....this time over food. Vibe magazine says Kanye went crazy when he wasn't offered chicken...yes....chicken. Here is how it went down: Supposedly, Kanye saw some guy eating chicken, ran up to a waitress and yelled, quote, "Why wasn't I offered chicken? You want me to perform for free, [and] everyone is eating . . . why am I not eating?" The waitress apologized, and said they didn't know he wanted anything because he never asked. At that point, Kanye shouted back, quote, "Well, I'm asking now!" Then, when Kanye finally got his chicken, he took one bite . . . and dropped the rest in the trash.

I think it's a case of SOUR GRAPES! Singer Mya (who is single) thinks the Khloe and Lamar getting married is just a publicity stunt and is FAKE! Can't 2 people just fall in love and rush into it for fun? I THINK SO! But Mya thinks that Khloe is just sick of her sisters getting all the attention and is trying to grab the spotlight for herself for a bit. LIGHTEN UP MYA! They're in love!

And speaking of the 2 love birds, Lamar issued a statement saying thanks but no thanks to the offer of the crazy bachelor party planned by Girls Gone Wild dude Joe Francis and his future brother-in-law Rob Kardashian. He decided to go low key and just go to dinner with some teammates and friends (who included Joe and Rob). Khloe had a low key bachelorette party too - just friends for a night of facials, massages and other treatments.

Supposedly The Queen of Singleness (Jennifer Anniston) had a meltdown on her lastest movie set. She holed herself up in her trailer crying because a scene she was about to shoot with Gerard Butler reminded her of her ex-Brad Pitt. Jenn's rep of course said this was ridiculous and never happened.

Martha Simpson says she's sorry?!?! She told Jessica Simpson a few days ago to "get another dog" and basically stop crying about her dog Daisy being EATEN by a coyote. Martha now says, "I said that she should have been watching her dog more closely, but I feel very, very sorry for anybody that loses a pet. Jessica, I hope you find your pet, but if you don't, I'm really sorry that you lost one."

Mooooooore Mackenzie on Oprah. The other day she was on talking about having consensual sex with her father while she was growing up. Obviously people have come out saying there is no way that that story was true. Well, today Chynna Phillips (Mac's 1/2 sister) is in studio saying that she believes was she is saying. Mac will be on via-satellite.

1 foot on a banana peel the other in the mausoleum? Seems that way for Liz Taylor. After attending MJ's funeral she said "I felt a sense of pease there that I've never experienced before." She liked the stained-glass windows and replicas of Michelangelo's artwork. Word is she'd like to be next to MJ for all eternity when she kicks the bucket.

FAME is in theatres todaay!!! Debbie Allen who played the dance teacher in the TV series now plays the principal. Megan Mullally, Charles S. Dutton, Kelsey Greammer and Bebe Neuwirth are also in it.

Hmmmm, too soon? MTV is debating whether to air the anit-drug reality series "Gone Too Far" with DJ AM.

CNN's medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta had SWINE FLU and he says, quote, "It was a lot like . . . the flu . . . with a different name." He contracted it recently, while reporting from Afghanistan. He says his doctors couldn't do much for him, so he basically just let it run its course.

*

In other swine flu news....Marilyn Manson has been diagnosed with H1N1. He says, quote, "I know everyone will suggest that (effing) a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have in no way contributed to me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive."

On her blog yesterday, Khloe Kardashian said, quote, "I'm thrilled to finally be able to tell you that the news is true . . . Lamar and I are getting married on Sunday!!! I couldn't be happier and I'm so excited that I can finally share the news with all of you." They'll get married at the family home in Bel Air and of course Ryan Seacrap will be among the 250 guests. Mama Kris was on Ryan's show yesterday and said "You know, that's how Bruce and I met. We met, and we were married four months later. Isn't that romantic?" What I find odd is Lamar just signed a 4 year deal with the Lakers for $33 million....then why were they registering for wedding gifts? shouldn't they have done one of those - in lieu of gifts, please donate to our favorite charity - The TSG Fund?

Daphne & Fred gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday! Ok, it was really Sarah Michelle Geller and husband Freddie Prinze Jr. They named her Charlotte Grace Prinze. How totally normal and cute!

She likes her BUTT and she can't deny! Kelly Clarkson has told the new issue of "Now" magazine that she loves her butt! She says "I totally have no chest, I'm all butt. Ever since I was a kid I've had a bubble butt. I get it from my mama. Guys are usually like, 'Oh my gosh, look at that butt!' In a good way! If a girl wanted bigger boobs, she could get them, but you can't get a bigger butt!"

E! Online now claims that KHLOE KARDASHIAN and Lakers stud LAMAR ODOM are getting married this coming Sunday. There's no word where or when. Even the guests don't know the details yet.

New/Old hair do, new girl? Word is JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has been secretly seeing RIHANNA for the past few weeks. Poooor Jessica Biel...I never liked them together anyway...I want him back with Cameron!

GEORGE CLOONEY has an interesting way of speaking about his girlfriend - He says, quote, "If life's a journey, then right now I've got a very nice co-pilot. I'm not going to project into the future and say I've found a co-pilot for life because I don't want to jinx things. But I will say that at the moment, I'm having a very nice time being a frequent flyer on Alitalia."

We all know that losing a pet is hard and apparently our sweet dumb little Jessica Simpson is beside herself with grief. A source says "Daisy was her baby. It's going to put her into a tailspin. She won't leave her parents' house." Another source says, quote, "Whenever things went wrong for Jessica, she reached for Daisy. Daisy was her security blanket. When people let her down, she always had Daisy."

How spoiled and loved was Daisy? "People" magazine says that Jessica fed Daisy STEAK, not dog food, left the air conditioning on for her, even when nobody else was in the house, threw Daisy birthday parties and if Daisy didn't like someone, Jessica wouldn't invite them back to her house again.

LOOK OUT SNL! The Queen is coming! Word is MADONNA will do "Saturday Night Live" this season, for the first time in 16 years. Supposedly, "SNL" is trying to get her to perform AND host the show.

Has this weighed heavily on mind? How DID the gang get together? Well today on DVD we find out...."Scooby Doo! The Mystery Begins" - it's the live-action movie about how Shaggy and Scooby first met and then started solving mysteries with Fred, Velma and Daphne after they all got detention together, a la "The Breakfast Club"....good to know.

The Beatles can still bring world peace....or so says Yoko Ono...."The Beatles: Rock Band" is the game that will change the entire universe. Yoko says: "I think the game is the second revolution. In the beginning the BEATLES made a splash with their music . . . with the video game we're going to create a planet of music and art. Music and art are both very interesting healing vibrations . . . and with that vibration we can create the world we've always wanted, a world of peace."

At least she isn't making weapons out of soap. Da Brat (who is about 1/3 done with her 3 year sentence for bashing a former Atlanta Falcons cheerleader in the head with a nearly full bottle of booze) is organizing a prison talent show. She's calling it Showtime at Alto - after the town where she's doing her time. She's at the Arrendale Federal Prison in Alto, Georgia. If it's a success, Da Brat hopes to make it an annual event. Can't wait to find out what the talents will be....maybe who can dig through a wall the fastest with a comb?

She reportedly called her mom, PAMELA BACH, who alerted a friend, who then called 911. David was taken to the hospital via ambulance, but was expected to be released later in the evening. I suppose there was nothing else to do but drink now that America's Got Talent is over for the season.

More love spats for Lilo and Sam. While in NYC over the weekend, she found out where Sam was staying and threw a room service tray at her door! Well, it wasn't Sam's room.

PAULA ABDUL hosted "VH1 Divas" last night . She opened the show by saying, quote, "Good evening everyone! I'm Paula Abdul . . . and this is NOT 'American Idol'."

She also impersonated ELLEN DEGENERES , complete with a blonde wig, a blazer, and tennis shoes and danced around like Ellen does at the beginning of her talk show.

Along with Goldie and Kurt, Oprah and Stedman sing the praises and benefits of not getting married. Opie says "Had we made the official marriage commitment, we wouldn't still be together. The reason the relationship works is that we get to define it on our terms. It would be very different if we were in a 'traditional' relationship where I was expected to be a wife and every now and then cook a meal!" I bet Oprah likes to say - YOU DON'T OWN ME!

If an engagement breaks up at the workplace, can the 2 still be civil in such close quarters? Well
"Dancing With the Stars", KARINA SMIRNOFF thinks so. She and fellow dancer MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY broke up not too long ago and she says "It's kind of easy to stay friends. We were friends for 14 years, before anything else. It will always remain this way. It's not difficult. We both think the world of each other."

I've had to say to Brian, 'You have to go and stop talking to me, because I'm going to kill you. I'm going to stab you with something, please leave.' I'd never own a gun for that reason. I wouldn't shoot to kill. But I would shoot him in the leg, for sure." YIKES!

Dirtbag CHRIS BROWN started his community service yesterday picking up garbage and cleaning police horse stables in his hometown of Richmond, Virginia. He even Tweeted on the way - like we'd care, quote, "On my way to community service." He's got 179 more days of hard labor to complete . . . but corrections officials plan to work around his showbiz schedule. SOOO not fair, I don't think they should do that. Do your time just like everyone else! No special treatment!

*

Burt Reynolds is in rehab! I think his hair piece was telling him to take drugs, but that isn't the official story. Burt took a spill at his place while boozing and popping pills and was found semiconscious and covered in blood. He was taken to the emergency room, but he was acting so strangely that they took him to a mental health facility. And doctors there refused to release him unless he agreed to check into rehab. Poor Bandit!

*

Poor Jessica Simpson! Still searching for her baby Daisy who was snatched up by a coyote the other day. Jessica STILL hasn't given up hope of finding it. In fact, she's hooked up with a dog-finding service called FindToto.com . . . which calls itself, quote, "kind of an amber alert for missing pets." Daisy is a 10-pound Malti-Poo. Jess says - "Daisy is my baby . . . why would I stop searching? I'm a mom."

GEORGE CLOONEY is our CELEBRITY HERO OF THE DAY, for saying this . . . quote, "I would rather have a prostate exam on live television by a guy with very cold hands than have a Facebook page." Dang it....I wanted to be his FB Friend!!!

MARY TRAVERS of the folk trio PETER, PAUL & MARY, died yesterday in Danbury, Connecticut. She was 72. I thought she already passed. Isn't she the one that choked on the ham sandwich? ...wait....that was the lady from The Mamas and The Papas.

FCC - GET OVER IT!! It's been 5 years!!! The FCC announced that they intend to further investigate whether CBS's indecency violation (during Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" was willfull." I think there are some pervs over there that just like to watch that footage over and over and over again.

This should be entertaining - The "Newlywed Game" is now open to same-sex celebrity couples. The first famous gay couple will be "Star Trek" legend GEORGE TAKEI and his husband, Brad Altman.

Tuesday Gossip!

2009-09-15T14:45:00.001-07:00

Kanye keeps apologizing....but not to the right person! Never once has he reached out to Taylor Swift to apologize! She told the ladies on The View today that she had a zillion thoughts in her head when MTV announced her name as the winner....don't fall, thank the fans, I can't believe I won, hey kanye, nice hair cut, what are you doing, okkkkkkk. Poor Taylor! Kanye needs to apologize TO Taylor, then fly away to Never Hear From You Again Island.

So I guess Britney CAN'T have everything she sees! Recently she was paging through a modeling catalog and saw a dude she liked. His name - Bekin Trenova. Stats - 24 years old, 6 ft tall, brown hair, hazel eyes. Sounds yummy! Well Brit thought the same thing and had her people invite him to a music video audition. WELLLL, it wasn't actually an audition. When Bekin showed up, it was just Brit lookin all sexy like. She made it pretty clear she was interested in dating him more so than hiring him. Bekim didn't think that was so cool and was mad that it wasn't an actual job interview and left!! Of course Brits people are denying this story.

Mr. Big is engaged?!!?!? Noooooo! But it is to his baby-mama Tara Lynn Wilson. She and Chris Noth been together about 5 years and their son, Orion, is almost 2.

SOMEONE CALL MADONNA! Turns out Elton John can't adopt the Ukrainian toddler I was telling you about yesterday. Yuriy Pavlenko, the Ukraine's Family, Youth and Sports Minister, says that Elton and his partner, DAVID FURNISH, can't adopt because foreign citizens who want to adopt have to be MARRIED, and same-sex marriage isn't recognized in the Ukraine. Also, they can't be older than 45. Elton is 62.

*

In Whitney Houston's interview with Oprah yesterday - she pretty much called Bobby Brown every thing, except his name. Can you believe Whit started doing drugs BEFORE The Bodyguard in '92?? However, she apparently never did Crack....so I guess she meant it when she said it was whack. They did use ROCK cocaine, though. She and Bobby would lace joints with it. Whitney made sure to note that she never did drugs by herself - it was always with Bobby. THIS IS THE BEST PART: Toward the end, Whitney said things got so bad that Bobby was cutting her head off in pictures and painting, quote, "evil eyes" on their bedroom walls. WWWEEEEIIIRRRD!!!

*

Wonder if Ally McBeal can make a cameo! Harrison Ford is now saying he'd be up for doing a 5th Indiana Jones movie!
Harrison said "The story for the new 'Indiana Jones' is in the process of taking form. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I'll be very happy to put the costume on again."

I didn't love him, but I guess everyone else did - "Everybody Loves Raymond"s RAY ROMANO will star on the second season of the new Golf Channel reality series, "The Haney Project". The show observes TIGER WOODS' swing coach, HANK HANEY, as he helps a celebrity try to improve their golf game.

Apparently Kanye REALLY wanted to hit it home as to what a TOOL he is! If you happened to miss it, Kanye did a typical Kanye spoiled brat move and for some reason decided that he should TOTALLY ruin Taylor Swift's first MTV VMA moment with his stupidity. .....just watch the clip.....

http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/435995/taylor-swift-wins-best-female-video.jhtml#id=1620605

The part that I really love, is Kanye was asked to leave the building afterwards!! HAHAHAHAAH What we didn't see was backstage Taylor and her mother were reportedly seen CRYING.

This is for sure the BEST part of the story - Beyonce, being the CLASS ACT that she is, said (during her speech for winning Video Of The Year for Single Ladies) "I remember how excited I was. I'd like Taylor to come out and have her moment."

Then, as if we wanted to hear anymore from him - Kanye issued an apology. He said, quote, "I'm sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom. I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would've said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she's in the bleachers! I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment. I gave my awards to Outkast when they deserved it over me . . . That's what it is!!!!!!! I'm not crazy y'all, I'm just real. Sorry for that!!! I really feel bad for Taylor and I'm sincerely sorry!!! Much respect!!!!!" I. HATE. HIM.

I would love to adopt him. I don't know how we would do that but he has stolen my heart. And he has stolen David's heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I've changed my mind today."

There are many back shots and side shots that don't show Alec's face, because it's his stand-in on Alec's days off."

Anyone else tired of Lady Gaga? LOVE her songs, tired of her over the top attempts at shocking us. But she's doing it again - topless and tied up in the new Japanese edition of "Vogue" magazine.

*

PHEW! Matt Damon is NOT dead! Someone started the rumor by saying he was found dead after going missing during a camping trip in California's Palo Verde Mountains.

*

Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift claimed the top 2 spots in "Access Hollywood"'s 10 Brightest Teen Stars! Taylor just made the list as she'll be 20 in December.

*

Here's a cat fight everybody has been waiting for....Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie are both possibly up for the lead role in the remake of "Barbarella" - the movie that made Jane Fonda into a sex symbol. Word is Angie is feeling the pressure because she's 34 and Megan is only 23.

*

LOVE me some Will Smith! "Hancock" director Peter Berg says that Will, Charlize and Jason Bateman all are returning for the sequel!

*

Hmmmmmm, Dwight from The Office a superhero? Rainne Wilson gonna be playing on in the new comedy "Super". His character is a dude who becomes a superhero called The Crimson Bolt after his wife, played by LIV TYLER, falls under the spell of a charming drug dealer. He won't have super powers, but he swings a big wrench.

*

Paula Abdul must be taking lots of happy pills to be dealing with the news that Ellen Degeneres is taking her place on American Idol! On Twitter, Paula said "I think Ellen will be a great judge on 'Idol'. I wish her and the show only the best of luck." I am most interested in how they'll be sitting!

CODE YELLOW!

2009-09-09T12:04:00.000-07:00

What an exciting day as Lunch Lady at my son's school! First of all - it was Grilled Cheese Day - as requested by me! Yes kids, thank ME for the Grilled Cheese today at school! mmmmm!

But that wasn't even the best part! There was a CODE YELLOW! There are 3 lunch periods and inbetween the 1st and 2nd lunches, there was an armed robbery at a near by shopping center. So while the cops were cruising around trying to find the bad guys, the school was on lock down! All doors and windows locked up tight! ( The students were all back to their classrooms before the Code Yellow went into effect.)

We (the other lunch lady's) were in the cafeteria and our fearless leader - Queen Lunch Lady Mary - and Cool Gym Teacher Lady were on the walkie-talkies with the Principal. A few squad cars cruised in and out of the parking lot looking for the perp (something I picked up after years of watching Law & Order...and of course from my 2 days on Jury Duty last week). Our Principal was the hero of the day with the comment "I am ready to run over anyone that comes into this parking lot."

After about 45 minutes, it went CODE GREEN - which meant all clear - so we could continue the lunch service and were free to move about the cabin. HOWEVER, it was at that precise time that the clouds opened up and it POURED rain! I had to leave to come to work, so I couldn't help the other ladies who serve the kids lunch and haul alllllllll the stuff over to the school!

So I would like to recognize the fabulousness of the Wednesday Lady's right now:

Queen Mary

Liz

Kathy

Erin

Martha

Cool Gym Teacher Lady

Becky - who is usually there, but missed the excitement today

Other Kathy

and other lady I'm not sure of her name

So unless Madonna comes to the studio today, I think that was the big excitement of my day!

Tuesday Gossip!

2009-09-08T05:57:00.000-07:00

Say it ain't so! The Obama's almost got divorced? Yes, according to the National Enquirer, there is a new book coming out (by author Christopher Andersen) that says back when Barack was an Illinois State Senator times were rocky! He and Michelle weren't communicating, romance was out the window and the sex was gone! Mich wanted him to play a bigger role at home or it was over! Needless to say, he must have stepped as they seem to be happy again!

* Amy! What are you doing? Word on the street is Amy Winehouse is getting back together with her bad news ex-husband Blake! The divorce was final only a week ago, but supposedly they met up on Friday and WENT TO A BAR! After drinks Amy snuck him into her place THROUGH A WINDOW! Security as strict orders to keep that low life out of her newly cleaned up life.

* Looks like Rihanna might have a new love in her life! Some dude named Travis London turned her head and they have been out on numerous dates over the past week in LA. Travis used to date Michelle Tanner aka Mary Kate Olsen.

* Kim Kardashian is telling the world her sister Khloe is happily dating Lamar Odom of the LA Lakers! Lamar just signed a nice 4 year deal with the Lakers for $33 million! He's got 2 kids - 10 and 7. Lamar said "Khloe is smart and beautiful and that is very hard to find." TRACY NOTE: I went to DASH in Miami over the weekend....blah blah blah. Wasn't impressed.

* Just another reason to love love love Sandra Bullock! She told Parade magazine that "There's more to life than just looking for the right guy. If I can do anything in this time of my career, it's to make it easier for girls who are growing up not to feel they have to wind up with someone to complete them. You know, I complete me. I'm just lucky that after I completed myself, I met someone who could tolerate me." She of course is married to super cool dude Jessie James.

* Poor Jessica Simpson. The girl just can't get a break. Jess was a surprise guest model at French fashion show last Thursday and her dress was HORRIBLE! It looked like a suped up Hefty Bag. The designer was Ozlem Suers.

* 2 places I don't think a person should Twitter - in the loo and at a funeral. Violating one of these two was Al Sharpton who was tweeting while at Michael Jackson's funeral.

1: "I am sitting at the burial services of michael jackson. I am talking to actress lisaraye mc coy . . . and tom mesereau . . . Tom represented MJ in the molestation case.

2: "We are all discussing his battles. What MJ went through was so unfair, yet he succeeded. In the end, he was the biggest artist ever. He faced the headwinds but he made it."

3: "I just spoke at the conclusion of tributes. Gladys Knight sang her heart out. Now we prepare to lay him to rest."

4: "MICHAEL JACKSON HAS BEEN LAID TO REST."

Dude has no class.....

* If you missed the 44th Annual Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon over the weekend, you missed one SUPER fabulous thing! Charo (yes...miss Koochie Koochie) singing Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop The Music"......followed up by her giving Jerry a lap dance.

* GOOOOD TV TONIGHT YA'LL! "90210" [2nd Season Premiere] at 8:00 on The CW, followed by "Melrose Place" [SERIES Premiere] at 9:00 on The CW. (--The new version stars Ashlee Simpson, Katie Cassidy and "Cloverfield's" Jessica Lucas. Plus Laura Leighton returns as her character from the original show, Sydney Andrews.)

* Welcome To Atlanta where the playas give away cars! Ludacris gave away 20 cars in a contest he set up called the "Ludacris Stimulus Package." He'd teamed up with a local Nissan dealership to give free used cars to people who were struggling to make ends meet. Ludacris said "People are getting laid off, and now are looking for jobs. To be efficient, you need some transportation of your own to get there. That's why I wanted to give back to those who need it." The winners also received 30 days of FREE GAS . . . but they were responsible for taking care of the costs for tags, registration, tax and insurance.) *

2009-08-28T06:10:00.000-07:00

Time to go to the Pottery Barn and pick up a gravy boat! The New York Post said Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly (of Friday Night Lights) are engaged and tying the knot in the fall after baseball season! BUT - save the receipt....Minka's rep says no wedding planned to Derek Jeter.

* UNtying the knot - possibly Avril Lavigne and Deryck Wehibley of SUM 41! He's just a band boy and said see ya later boy!

* I don't think I want friends like Jessica Simpson's! They were trying to console her about her break up with Tony Romo by saying that he hit on them while still dating her! WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL HER THAT SOONER?!?

* "I only comment on other people's lives, not my own" That is something I'd say! But it came from Chelsea Handler when asked about her break up with her boss - Comcast CEO Ted Harbert.

* From the TMI File - Kourtney Kardashian wants us to know that she went to her doctor to inquire about breastfeeding her future baby. Dr said - "You just need to try it because you won't know til you try".

* If I would have known I would have send flowers and chocolate and candy and a stuffed animal! George Clooney broke his hand a few months ago when is slammed it in a car door on his property in Lake Como, Italy! He is fine and will be able to hold my hand very soon.

* Uh Oh....Lilo is in trouble! Turns out some of the stuff that was stolen (when the perps walked into her house through the UNLOCKED DOOR) was $2 MILLION worth of borrowed jewelry from 14 Karats. A source says "If something is not resolved soon, there will be legal action".

* Way back in 2001, John Mayer was arrested in the ATL for driving with a suspended license. The charge was eventually dropped. Well, for some reason, he challenged TMZ to produce the mugshot. If they did, he'd donate $25K to the charity of their choice. Well, both TMZ and The Smoking Gun found the pic and John's wallet is a little lighter.

* Cancel that family trip to the Forest Lawn Cemetery....Security is gonna be TIGHT for MJ's funeral and they are saying you won't even see the green of the Forest Lawn.

* If you've always wanted to be a dead rock star, but don't rock and aren't dead....Guitar Hero 5 now has your chance. The game comes out on Tuesday and dead Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain will be a featured playable character.

* Taylor Swift is coming out with a cookbook! I guess she's not big enough to have a personal chef.... She told SUGAR magazine that she will put together a book of family reciepes including her Mother's brisket. Faaabulous!

Hunter and I just had the BEST WEEKEND EVER!!! We had a Last Weekend Before School and Tracy's Birthday trip to Key West! We stayed the the Westin - Key West!

2009-07-13T15:10:00.000-07:00

Just found these on ebay........what the?

However......I did just buy the Michael Jackson $1,000,000 bill! SWEEEET!

I will miss you Michael

2009-06-26T13:14:00.001-07:00

I took these pic on my most recent trip to NYC. They had a bunch of Michael Memorabilia at the Hard Rock Cafe. Hunter was most intrigued by the crown and asked if Michael really wore it. "Of course he did" I said! "He is the King of Pop!"

I am so sad to now realize that that was the closest I would ever be to Michael. I really wanted to some how, some way get a ticket to see him in London. SOMEHOW I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ONE.

I will miss you Michael.

2009-06-10T14:07:00.000-07:00

Since we last spoke I have done lots of fun stuff! Miami for Mother's Day, Atlanta for Memorial Day and Orlando just cuz! Actually my Cuz was working at Disney World so we went to see her for her LAST weekend! If you went to Disney over the last 6 months, my Cousin Erica was the girl in the lovely outfit working at Alladin's Carpet Ride and The Enchanted Tiki Room! How fun to work at Disney!

Hunter and I went on Pirate's Of The Caribbean 6 times. We would have gone more, but there was so much more to see!

Lots of stuff going on in my world too - tomorrow I will be with the Mayor of West Palm Beach throwing cows off of a roof! Yep, cows with parachutes! HAHH! There is a new Chik-fil-a in town AND a new City Center so Chik-fil-a is GIVING AWAY 5000 chicken sandwiches! Gotta love FREE food!

Then next week I'll be attending and hosting at Vive Magazine's Women's Conference at PGA National! Should be a good time! Get your tix at Vivemagazine.com! Make sure you come see "How To Look 10 Years Younger"!

THEN next Saturday night I'll be at Falcon House in Delray! It's Sizzlin Summer Saturday starting at 10pm - you've gotta come! It will be so much fun!

So as you can see I will be all over town and I'll be looking for you!

OOOPS!

2009-04-29T14:34:00.000-07:00

I just realized I haven't blogggged in a while! How rude! What's been going on with me? Let's see....ummm, I got stuck in my bathroom due to a crappy doorknob. Took about 2 minutes wrestling with it to get out.
.
Good thing I had my Regis Philbin - "I'm Only One Man" book in there with me incase I was in there for hours. Yes, I LOVE Regis. LOVE LOVE LOVE that man. I'm hoping that some day when Kelly is sick (God Forbid) they suddenly call me to fill in. I think Reg and I would have a good time and a nice rapport. He'd do the headlines from the NYC papers, I would comment, laugh, drink my coffee from my HUGE Reg & Tracy mug (because I would make one special for my day) and would shoot Gelman cheeky glances now and then...see, I'm a natural! I would tell him funny Hunter stories, talk about celebs and movies.
.
Call me Reg.
.
.

So anyway, after my bathroom ordeal, all was well in my world.

Hunter was one of the Students Of The Month at his school!

I colored my hair the other day......

2009-04-14T14:31:00.001-07:00

I look like Priscilla Presley circa 1969

whoops....

actually I love it

It's Spring Break!

2009-04-07T14:17:00.000-07:00

H and I have some fun stuff planned to do this week! We went to the Zoo yesterday and today were going to hit the pool and do a bike ride.

HOWEVER, we woke up today to chilllly temperatures and some super wind! There were white caps on the intercoastal! So we decided to go through my Rosie O'Donnell craft book

and find fun crafty junk to do! We found soap bombs to make, friendship braceletts and some funky crystal thing. We were really excited about the crystal thing, until we couldn't find a key ingredient - Laundry Bluing. What the heck is that? Whatever it is, they don't have it at Publix. Anyone know a close alternative to that? Maybe the blue shampoo old ladies use so their hair stays shiny and not yellow?

We're going to hopefully go parasailing this week, but that again depends on the weather! He so wants to do that and I think that will be so much fun! I'll keep you posted!

APRIL FOOOL'S!

VIVE Magazine!

2009-03-31T14:14:00.000-07:00

How cool is this?! Vive Magazine has asked me to write a blog for their online magazine! They have a regular magazine too, but I will be writing online. So what will I write about? I can't do my regular blog stuff. I mean I don't think the Sophisticated Florida Woman wants to know about how many fish I've killed or my grocery list. I guess I will talk about clothes/shoes and celebs and travel and food.
.

Clothes/Shoes - big fan, I have a lot
.
Celebs - Madonna...that is the only celeb I care about
.
Travel - NYC
.
Food - McDonald's
.

Hmmmm, 1/2 of those things sound interesting. I will expand on what I think they would enjoy.

If you want to check out how cool the mag is - go to Vivemagazine.com!

NYC!!!!

2009-03-30T13:03:00.000-07:00

Hunter and I went to NYC over the weekend and had the BEST time!!! Here are a few of the hightlights!

And the very best......

Weekend Fun!

2009-03-23T11:36:00.000-07:00

The GENERAL LEE was getting a new sound system! We saw it at the Swap Shop in Ft. Lauderdale. Don't ask me why, but I LOVE THAT PLACE!!! The guys who tinted my windows last time recognized me....That was 2 months ago....odd, yet flattering.

Hunter and I with Jake & Elwood

This is - I'm assuming - where they keep the Goodyear Blimp. We saw it from 95 and drove over...it was closed...booo.

Nothing says cute like H Pizzle and a Pelican.

And to top off our afternoon, we drove by Bernie Madoff's Palm Beach home and yelled JERK out of the window. OK, it was just me who yelled it.

Hunter was embarrassed.

WAX MUSEUM

2009-03-20T11:47:00.001-07:00

Today at Hunter's school, they had a Wax Museum! All the kids picked someone famous, then pretended to be wax figures. When someone would tap them, they would come to life and tell a few facts! No, Hunter did not choose to be a crazy Amish person....he was Abe Lincoln. Here he was modeling his costume at home with his Willy Wonka glasses on!

He gave away pennies to all the kids that tapped him and I think I few tapped him numerous times as he had about 225 pennies and was out of them very quickly!

Mimi and Pop were visiting, so we were lucky enough to get our pics with Honest Hunter...I mean Abe.

I am SO excited about this show!!! It's April 9th premiere on NBC can't get here fast enough!

IMDB has the plot as: The abstract antics of an Indiana town's public officials as they pursue random projects to make their city a better place.

My sister Tami is actually WORKING on the show! What a totally cool job to have! Everyday I pester her to tell me what they're doing on the set. She won't tell me anything top secret, but will tell me what Amy is wearing. ok, not really. It's so fun to hear about her days. One day she got to drive Amy and co-star Rashida Jones around town to do something. I forget what it was...I was so in awe that Tami was in A CAR WITH AMY POEHLER!

*****UPDATE******Tami just told me they INVITED her to ride in the limo with them...it wasn't just a casual ride around town! Man...to live in Tami's shoes for just one day. Tami says...and I quote.... "it was like the cool kids inviting you over during lunch...it was like the MOMENT....i became a COMEDIC ROCKSTAR entourage member."

As you can tell....I'm a HUGE fan of Amy's! How can you not love her as Hillary Clinton???

Weekend Update??

The voice of The Mighty B??

I have my DVR set to record all Mighty B shows on Nick....yep, I really do!

So for the next few weeks I just have to sit patiently and wait for the show to PREMIERE!!!

OH....how could I forget my FAV Amy character....Kaitlyn

How GREAT is Daylight Saving Time???

2009-03-09T12:04:00.001-07:00

I love it, I love it, I LOVE IT! It's like you're getting out of work an hour earlier! I work til 7 and of course during the winter months, I leave the radio station when it's dark. Very depressing. It always seems so late and there is nothing to do but get ready to go to bed. But with the extra hour and with the sun beginning to set later, it will be added value to the day! Maybe take a bike ride with Hunter when I get home, maybe go fishing, maybe take a walk...who knows!

All I do know is that I don't think we should have to do the opposite ever again. I mean, wasn't Daylight Saving Time for farmers or something? Well, all farmers have tractors with lights on them now, so they can work longer anyway. I'm sure I am totally wrong...let me look it up on Wikipedia.....hold please.....

WIKIPEDIA EXPLANTION:
Adding daylight to afternoons benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours, however, causes problems for farming, entertainment and other occupations tied to the sun.

Traffic fatalities are reduced when there is extra afternoon daylight; its effect on health and crime is less clear.

Although an early goal of DST was to reduce evening usage of incandencent lighting, formerly a primary use of electricity, modern heating and cooling usage patterns differ greatly, and research about how DST currently affects energy use is limited and often contradictory.

Give me a guitar and you might think I'm Slash. Perhaps some sunglasses and you'd mistake me for Howard Stern.

All I can say is whoa...I have big hair.

RIP Face....

2009-02-16T14:08:00.000-08:00

Me...the girl who can be in the sun for 10 minutes and get a great tan, the girl who never burns, got burnt over the weekend. BOO! I woke up this morning with 1/2 of my face on my pillow! I am peeling, peeling, peeling. I asked Hunter if my face looked bad and he grimaced and looked away.

Ya see, I wear a secret magical thing to get my deep, dark tan. I'm almost embarrassed to tell you what it is. People think I'm nuts. But it totally works! ....it's Let's Jam.

Nope, you will not find it in the Tanning Product section of any store. You will find it in the black hair products aisle. It is a protein styling gel. I learned this secret from an old boyfriend who told me some ladies he saw on vacation using it. I should have known after using it for about 15 years now NOT TO PUT IT ON MY FACE. But I did. I thought I was too pale and wanted a fast tan for my face. I am now paying for it and wearing my big Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses and a hat. I kind of look like Michael Jackson when he goes out in public.

I have learned my lesson...no more Soul Glow for the face.

I killed again...this time twice in less than 12 hours

2009-01-13T14:15:00.001-08:00

Silver 3 (October 23, 2008-January 12th, 2009) passed away yesterday. He is survived by his loving owner Hunter and his apparent serial fish killer Mother.

I feel awful! Out of all of the Silver's, #3 was honestly my favorite. Whenever you came by the tank it would swim over to you. It was so cute. He wasn't dumb like a goldfish. This little shark had personality and spunk.

I did my usual thing yesterday - scooped him out, flushed him and ran to PetSmart to get Silver 4. Got him, drove home, dropped him in the tank. Fabulous! My son was none the wiser when he came home to the switched fish.

We had such a fun time cleaning out the tank last night, rinsed off the cool stones on the bottom, fresh water, rearranging the plastic foliage and fish tank decor - I bought Silver a skull he could swim in and out of. Totally cool! Hunter went to bed happy at 930....fish was dead by 10.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Now what do I do?????? I can't believe I have had Silver 4 for 9 hours and the thing is dead already! What do I do with it? Do I finally let Silver pass and end this charade and parade of fish?? Hunter will be beside himself with grief!

No. I can't do that. I must protect my son's sweet heart and spare him the pain of a dead pet...so I try (with chopsticks) to prop Silver up and in one of the plastic plants hoping he would look casual and like he was just hanging out in there. Nope...fish still look dead even when posed.

At this point, I decided that the skull is my new best friend. I scoop out Silver 4 and put him in a sandwich bag and hide him behind the eggs in the refridgerator - I'm taking this lemon fish BACK! I figure that if Hunter notices tomorrow morning that Silver is missing, I will say "oh he must be hiding in his new skull!".

I let him eat breakfast in front of the TV today to distract him from his dear departed pet. It works and he doesn't even go near the tank! Woo hooo!! I will be off to continue my grief-sparing spree in no time!

Off to PetSmart this morning to get a new little Shark and christen him Silver 5...I took Silver 4 (God Rest His Fishy Soul) with me and scooped out a cup full of water to see if it's my water at fault for killing all these fish. Yep, turns out my water is close to sludge -even with the Tap Conditioner I put in it! Needless to say, that is making me want to buy bottled water for the rest of my life. Fish die in it?? I'm not drinking that!!!!

After getting my $$ back and saying a little prayer, I put Silver 4 into the garbage at PetSmart. The Fish Lady told me I would have to totally redo my whole tank AGAIN with purified water before I put a fish back in it AND that my tank (10 gallon) is too small for the shark. Apparently, that is why the fish keep kicking the barnacles. I'm thinking HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO PULL THIS OFF? I have to buy 10 gallons of purified water, clean the tank again, then drive all the way back to PetSmart to get Silver 5. There is no way I can do all this before going on the air.

When I realized I was tapping the toe of my Manolo in the fish aisle listening to myself think of the tangled webs of deception I was weaving, I decided to pick Silver 4 back out of the trash and take him home to let Hunter pay his respects. He is currently in a travel coffee mug in my freezer - if you ever come over, try to remember not to drink out of that one...I mean he is in a plastic bag in the coffee mug, but still.

I just called my Fabu Sitter Courtney who said H was looking for Silver and putting food in the tank trying to coax him out of the skull...kind of reminded me of the blind kid petting the dead canary in Dumb and Dumber saying "Pretty bird...pretty bird" while petting a canary with duct tape around it's neck to keep it's head on.

I have totally pulled one over on him and I feel awful. I have to tell him the truth tonight - that Silver has died....the ORIGINAL Silver...he will never know that his dear Mother was trying to spare his feelings and replaced him 5 times.

Happy New Year and back to the routine!

2009-01-05T12:00:00.001-08:00

Since we last spoke, I took a trip to Wisconsin! It was 30 below one day and then 50 a few days later....odd that Wisconsin weather is. That is me above enjoying the snow.....

Christmas was lots of fun! Lots of presents and of course food including the wonderful Cheese Curds. If you're from WI, you know how great they are. If you're not from WI, they sound gross.

My nephew Sawyer got a mohawk! You have to see it! He colors it all different colors too! I saw it in purple, red (as pictured below) and blue.

Of course his brother Carter wanted one too.... how cuuuuuuuuuuute!! I mean cool!!

Hunter and his buddy Zac got into the act too...here is a pic from New Years Eve:

Yep, we're into hair products in my family. This was my hair don't on NYE.....loves it....

Until next time, please keep this image of me in your head.

Hello!

2008-12-09T14:39:00.001-08:00

It's been forever since I've written on here and so much has happened! Ok, not really, but that is better than saying nothing of great importance has gone on in my little world.

I keep forgetting it is Christmas time. I mean I see all the commercials and Christmas specials on TV (anyone know when A Very Brady Christmas is on this year?), but then I look out of my window and see palm trees and no snow. Growing up in Wisconsin and after living in places that get snow - or at least gets cold enough to know it's Christmas time, it's strange that it's sunny and 82 degrees on December 9th.

Hunter and I put up all of our Christmas decorations the other day, so our home looks nice and bright! I bought a Yankee Candle too that smells like Christmas too! Deeelish!

I'm going up to Wisconsin to spend the holiday with my family, so when I get there, that is when I will officially call it the Christmas Season!

My coolest cousin Erica found this for me!!!

2008-12-03T15:12:00.000-08:00

Yes, that is Madonna wearing a TSG shirt. Told you we were best friends!

MADONNA DAY!

2008-11-26T13:18:00.000-08:00

I am so excited to see the Sticky & Sweet Tour again! My super cool boss Bob gave me a pair of tickets yesterday!!!! WOOO HOOOO! It's at Dolphin Stadium - which I have never been to before. I've only been to one other outdoor stadium concert - it was in Atlanta and I saw No Doubt open up for the Rolling Stones at Turner Field. It's going to be soooo amazing! When I saw her in NYC, I was disappointed with her show. It was 3 days before she announced her divorce, so that may have been why I thought she totally phoned it in. My friends saw her shows in LA and ATL and said she was GREAT, so I'm hoping that this restores my confidence in her fabulousness. Not that I had a doubt, but I was a little disappointed.

So here I sit....waiting and watching the clock until I get to leave and see my IDOL!

HURRY UP 7 O'CLOCK!!!!

Reaching out.....

2008-11-25T15:19:00.000-08:00

Dear Madonna,

I just wanted to extend and invitation to you and whomever you'd like to bring (dancers, Oakenfold, Lola, Rocco, David, A-Rod, etc. etc) to come over for Thanksgiving.

I know you have numerous homes, 1 being in Miama (THE CITY THAT I AM GOING TO SEE YOU IN DOING STICKY & SWEET), but thought, hmmm, the place might be dusty....cold....uninviting after being out of the country and on tour all over the place. So, I just wanted to see if you wanted to come and have ham and chicken (my son Hunter won't eat Turkey) with us. If you would like to bring something, please do not bring the cranberries in a can....the ridges creep me out.

Call me and let me know. You've got my number.

Love,

Tracy

It's Monday...

2008-11-17T14:53:00.001-08:00

Nothing too exciting to report today.....but if you saw these 2 out cruising around Palm Beach in pink wigs and fur coats yesterday, you were lucky....

Big Weekend Planned!

2008-11-13T14:37:00.000-08:00

Hunter and I get to light the HUGE 40 ft Christmas Tree at City Place on Saturday! Think Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting, just on a slightly smaller scale! It's going to snow, there will be choirs, and orchestra, a big countdown and all kinds of fun! But yes, it's going to SNOW in West Palm Beach! I can't wait to see that! Hunter is going to be so excited and will immediately start talking about 4 wheeling in the snow in Wisconsin until we get there next month!

So before the big festivities begin, I'm getting my hair did at Anushka Salon, my makeup done at Sephora and am wearing an awesome dress from Rhythm! I'm thinking of a sweet Kim Kardashian style. I love her hair...possibly the best hair in LA.

Then on Sunday, we are going to the skate park so I can video H doing tricks! Courtney (Hunter's fabu sitter) thinks I have something on this laptop that can help me edit video and stuff!

Eh....

2008-11-10T14:11:00.001-08:00

I have nothing I can speak nicely about today, so I will keep my feelings to myself.

I can speak nicely of Hunter though - he is the greatest kid in the world!

Not so much a Rachel Ray moment.....

2008-11-09T08:01:00.000-08:00

I had to work yesterday and stopped by Dunkin Donuts for my coffee (extra cream, extra sugar) and plain bagel with sausage, egg and cheese. Well, while I was digging through my purse, one of the zillion homeless - and aggressive - people that live around the DD, asked me for money. I didn't have any cash and told her I'm sorry, I'm using my credit card. So she proceeded to lift her shirt and show me that she had a mastectomy....yes, she showed me her scar while repeating loudly over and over - "I have one breast". I had to look twice to ensure myself that a smoking, homeless person, begging for money was indeed flashing me infront of the sign displaying happy, peaceful donuts.....

It's Friday!

2008-11-07T13:24:00.000-08:00

And it's a gorgeous day here in South Florida! Sunny, breezy, warm. I was suprised last night while I was watching ER that one of their scenes (with Dr. Meany and her husband) they were walking in snow flurries! When you live in year round summer, you kinda forget what time of year it is in the real world!

Hunter and I will have lived here for 2 years in January and have totally adapted to the NO WINTER ALLOWED-ness of the state! We'll jet ski in December, swim in February, go boogey boarding in March! I know my Wisconsin Fan Base (yes, both of you) are green with envy! And you know there is an open invitation for anyone to come and visit!

However, I can't WAIT to go up to Wisconsin for Christmas! Snowmobiling, 4 Wheeling, Snow boarding, Skiing, etc etc!!! I like the cold for 1 week per year, then get me back to my Florida!

Impatient Designers

2008-11-06T12:26:00.000-08:00

Cami's Cafe

This is what Cami and I spend our morning creating.

Due to this being a picture from my phone, you can't see that off to the left is the lovely Atlantic Ocean....that's the one on Florida's right, correct?
.

This is where we have our morning coffee and gossip about stuff that is not important. If you would like to discuss politics, receipe swapping, state of the economy, PTA meetings, or anything else that would make us slip into a coma - not booze induced - we would like it if you wouldn't come. This is a space dedicated all things frivilous. Wanna talk Britney, Brad/Ang, Shoes, or the hottness of George Clooney? Bring it.
.
Cami and I want to do our own design show. It would be called the Impatient Designers. For people who just can't wait to get it done. We were supposed to wait 24 hours to put that fabric up on the walls....we couldn't even wait 24 minutes. Let's hope it doesn't fall on our of our guests.

I VOTED TODAY!

2008-11-04T08:40:00.000-08:00

But I'm going to exercise my American right to privacy

and keep my vote private.

....now where is my free Starbucks and Krispy Kreme donut?

It just takes champagne!

2008-11-02T13:49:00.000-08:00

...quite a bit of champagne! My friend Cami and I had our own little HGTV moment yesterday! We live in a high rise with the most amazing view of the intercostal and ocean, yet our seating arrangement on our balconies just wasn't cutting it. So after numerous Mimosa's, we decided to move Cami's zillion dollar couch out onto the balcony! It looks AWESOME! Way more comfortable for cocktails!

Then we decided that I needed a couch on my balcony too! So we went to cracktown and visited Goodwill to get a couch, then go online to find a slip cover to hide the fact that I purchased a couch at Goodwill. Well, we found a decent one for $66! 2 pieces actually so it would have been sweet! Cami said BUY IT NOW! I said, this thing isn't going anywhere, let's check the nasty furniture store next door! We'll be back in 10 mintues we told the guy. Next door joint didn't have anything we liked, but we noticed a fun fake hair store next to it. So we went in and bought some funny wigs to entertain our children with.

So back over to the Goodwill - after we found out the other place would deliver it RIGHT NOW - to purchase the $66 couch. LOW AND BEHOLD - SOMEONE BOUGHT THE COUCH IN THE 30 MINUTES WE WERE GONE! Who knew Goodwill furniture ACTUALLY sold, much less someone wanting the same thing I wanted in the same 30 minutes. So I was jipped out of a sweet cheap couch for the balcony, but I did get a funny wig!

UNCRUSTABLE DELIVERED!!!

Finally!

After almost a week of anticipation, the 4 day trip from West Palm Beach Florida, the Smuckers Uncrustable made it to LA at 4pm Tami time on Thursday! The package looks intact!

It looks the same as when I sent it on Monday! Almost Edible!

Tami sadly stated that upon further inspection, it seemed to be extremely smashed and appeared to have no jelly. WHERE DID THE JELLY GO? Did it leak out over Texas? New Mexico?

Due to the Uncrustable needing refridgeration, Tami wisely close to send it to a junk yard dog for his lunch today.

WHO WANTS TO BE THE NEXT TO GET SOMETHING WEIRD IN THE MAIL?? This is all for science people.....

I missed the Gold Boat.....

2008-10-30T12:46:00.000-07:00

I took in a bunch of old gold jewelry to a store today to sell. I was dumb enough to think I would be walking out of there with like $800! Sadly, the grand total wasn't even enough for a trip to Publix. I ended up selling nothing and leaving with all the jewelry I don't wear back in it's little black velvet bag. The guy said I missed the gold boat by about a month and a half. So if you're thinking about selling, might want to hold on to your stuff til the prices go back up.

Speedy Delivery! Speedy Delivery!

2008-10-29T13:49:00.000-07:00

Remember Mr. McFeely from Mr. Rogers? I loved him...he never delivered bills. Always fun stuff for Mr. Rogers! But I bet he never delivered an Uncrustable! As you read on Monday, Tami and I are conducting an experiment (of 2nd grade caliber) by sending a sandwich from the East Coast allllll the way to the West Coast. So I sit here waiting for Tami to get her mail at 4pm LA time.....waiting waiting waiting.

I love getting the mail! I do all my bills online, so I never get bills in the mailbox. I get People Magazine, rubber checks, Ballards catalogs, Ranger Rick for Hunter AND I'm expecting a new vacuum cleaner any day now. I ordered that on Monday too. I have been borrowing my friend Cami's vacuum cleaner - she lives on the 11th floor, I'm on the 16th, so the thing has been taking numerous elevator trips! I usually ruin vacuums because of my long hair jacking the thing up. Cami's is a heavy duty one, so I decided to buy myself a heavy duty one of my own.

Nope....still no mail for Tami....check back to see if it comes tomorrow!!!

That's Hot

Experiment

2008-10-27T11:03:00.000-07:00

Tami came up with this most marvelous idea about 2 weeks ago.....let's send a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from coast to coast and see how it does! GREAT IDEA! We were going to do it last Monday, but I forgot to go to the grocery store, and Hunter needed something to eat for lunch that day....So finally today, I put 2 Smuckers Uncrustables (peanut butter and GRAPE jelly) in my purse - 1 to eat, and the other to send to Los Angeles.

We will keep you informed on the travel status of said Sandwich which according to Tami's calculations will be traveling 2,674 miles. Google Maps says if I drove it to her, it would take 1 day and 15 hours. Seeing that I have to work, I decided to let the post office do the delivery!

STAY TUNED! I KNOW YOU WANT TO!

Over the years....

2008-10-25T07:42:00.000-07:00

...I've had some pretty interesting jobs. As I sit here in the studio today drinking my Dunkin Donuts (which beat Starbucks - even though I don't know how...they don't have all the cool drink names like Starbucks does....) coffee, I was thinking of my long list of jobs. Let's reminisce:

These are from the high school days:

St. George Sales - family business...I answered the phones.

McDonald's - yep, did the kids parties too! Nothing like a bunch of kids making that annoying sound with their straws in the cups. The cakes were actually good though!

Shakey's Pizza - worked there with my cousins and we did bad things to the pizza.... HAHAHAHAAH!

Summerfest Security - yep, I was tough enough to do Security at concerts in Milwaukee and to tell drunk people to GET OFF THE PLAYGROUND SIR....SIRRRRR....GET OFF THE SLIDE!!!!

I always wanted to work at The Kiltie, but never did. The Kiltie was the drive in custard place in Oconomowoc. I had numerous crushes back there in the kitchen part. Dave, Michael, etc etc. All the cool kids worked there. I never even applied. I didn't want to get shut down! I would have been crushed! hahah!

I don't recall working in college...I actually don't recall going to classes either........hmmmm.

Oh wait, I worked at Pizza Hut! I would have my roommates call in with orders right before close for pick up...then when "the person" didn't come pick it up, I would get to take it home! HAHAHAAH! I still LOVE Pizza Hut!

So after college didn't quite work out, I went to Television/Radio Broadcasting School in Minneapolis and worked at McGlynn's Bakery. YUM YUM YUM!

Ok, so now comes the Radio jobs with Misc mixed in when I quit the biz for a while:

WBIZ - Eau Claire, WI
Casa Rebecca - THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT EVER!!!! And my favorite job to date. I was the Hostess with the Mostest and loved it!
WOFM - Wausau, WI
Z104 - Madison, WI
WKTI - Milwaukee, WI
Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics - Mayfair Mall, Tosa, WI
WKTI Again - Milwaukee, WI
WAZY - Lafayette, IN
STAR 94 - Atlanta, GA
The Morning Mouth - AWESOME radio magazine!
Q100 - Atlanta, GA
CNN - Atlanta, GA - I did entertainment stuff with Anderson Cooper and Carol Costello
WRMF - West Palm Beach, FL

Somewhere in there I also sold FAKE perfume out of a cardboard box to businesses....can you believe that?! I did it for ONE day....went to a blind ad from the newspaper and was MORITIFIED to find out what I had to do! How humiliating and LAME!

I believe that is all I have done in my working career.

The F Word

2008-10-24T15:32:00.000-07:00

It's ..........FRIDAY!

I slept horribly last night. Marriott pillows are not all that comfortable. Needed Hunter's help as I changed lanes on the drive to school. My neck and back were in terrible pain and I couldn't even turn my head!

I was cut in half at a magic show last night, so maybe that had something to do with it. Who knows....magic, I don't get it.
**Hunter was freaked out...I don't think he was too fond of me being cut in half**

However, a Simplicity Massage at The Breakers in Cabana 19 with the ocean breeze cured me! FABULOUS!

Thank you Nature!

BAD MOOD

2008-10-23T15:13:00.000-07:00

I'm broke.

How can I be broke if I'm on salary and have been getting the same amount in every check?

I can't go to our station Halloween party because I can't afford to get an extra sitter - I already have one 5 days a week...can't afford 6.
I don't know if I will be able to afford plane tix to go home for Christmas.
I don't know if I will be able to continue living where I live.
I don't know if I can even keep the car I'm driving.

One thing I do know, even broke I look fabulous.

Carry on with your day, I'm sure it's better than mine.

JANUARY: Fortune Cookie Says: Never let an opportunity pass you by

Mission: FISH.....Accomplished!

2008-10-22T12:13:00.001-07:00

Yes, I am happy to say I have Silver 3 in the tank and he is swimming around swimmingly! He and Mr. Eelers appear to be getting along very nicely. We'll see if they are both alive when I come home from work tonight.

Hunter didn't notice at all that Silver 2 was missing last night. This morning at breakfast I thought I was gonna get busted, but he didn't notice then either! PHEW!

I hightailed it over to PetSmart today and they didn't seem to find it odd that I was replacing a fish to cover up the death of another. Apparently parents all over town, the state and the country are doing this too. I felt better about my deception at the realization of that fact.

I forgot to tell you about 3 other fish I killed a long time ago. I was cleaning the tank over my Grandma's kitchen sink - 1 fell out...turned on the disposal.....water was too cold when I put the remaining 2 back in...shock immediatley killed #2 (he curled up like the letter "c") , then there was only #3 left in the tank. He swam sideways for a few days, then floated gracefully to the top. Whoops.

Maybe I'm not a pet person.

.Comments:

TAMI - Dude, I had no idea the trail of fish death you have left behind....Do you watch Finding Nemo and feel guilty? You need the Fish Whisperer. I think his number is on the back of the Gordon Fisherman's box. When H Pizzle starts reading the blogs you are so screwed. I am concerned....what happened to the cat Tracy?

***For the record, Sweetie Cat ran away, Tiki the Cat was NUTS and we gave him to the cleaning lady***

JANUARY: when are you ever going to tell him the truth??
JANUARY: Silver can't live forever!!!
TRACY: Silver will go to college with Hunter
JANUARY: and you'll have to sneak in his dorm room and replace him every few months

KT - get him something that doesn't die, like a puppy!!!! Those are harder to kill. Or a pet sibling like Angelina. You can pick one up in Thailand or Africa!

TAMI - Maybe you should start slow..buy him a picture of a puppy...then a stuffed puppy

ADI - how did he not notice a missing shark last night?

I killed AGAIN....

2008-10-21T13:54:00.000-07:00

Sadly, Hunter's fish Silver died.....again. See this is actually Silver 2. Silver 1 died when H was up in Wisconsin for his summer vacation. I fed the thing all the time and it still died. We fed this guy all the time and he died. Now don't say - maybe you fed him too much. It was a little shark and it said to feed it every 3 days. That is exactly what we did. The problem I THINK may have been when we went on the nightmare camping trip, I put one of those 3 day feeder pyramids in the tank and I don't think it dissolved correctly to disperse the food.

So before Hunter came back from WI, I bought a Silver look alike and he was none the wiser and didn't have to deal with the heart ache of a dead fish.

The last fish I killed - yes, I have a talent at this - was Neal. I changed the water one day and Hunter came home from school.....Neal was floating. I think the water change was a shock and he croaked. Neal, to this day, resides in my freezer. He was in the freezer at our old place and had to be moved to our new residence.

I consulted God on what to do with this one. Do I tell H that he died, or do I blame in on the eel in the tank. We thought it best to flush Silver 2 and blame it on the eel.

I am crossing my fingers that he doesn't notice tonight so I can make a trip to the store tomorrow morning to buy Silver 3....poor guy...he doesn't know he's going to death row.

Comments:

TAMI - maybe it is time to say if you love neal so much lets stuff him and you can sleep with him, but he is creeping the hell out of the fish stick...neal has to go.

Can you believe that?!?

2008-10-20T14:36:00.001-07:00

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TODAY!!! What is up with that?

I guess I'll tell you about what I'm wearing. It's my 3rd outfit of the day.

1st outfit - Puma track suit to drop Hunter off at school. I don't get out of the car, but have to at least change out of my pajamas.

2nd outfit - I was so excited it felt like fall this morning! So I put on some jeans, tucked them into some sweet high heeled black boots and put on a black long sleeved top with a deep V in the back. Then after wearing it for a few hours, realized I was hot and it wasn't that cool outside

3rd outfit - same jeans, gold high heeled sandal things and a sweet goldish type top that matches perfectly with my purse. Yep, this outfit change also required a purse change. So I switched from the purple Prada to the goldish Versace. FABULOUS!

It was then I truely knew I was ready to sit in a room where no one sees me.

Camping

2008-10-19T11:28:00.000-07:00

The WORST thing that could happen to a single parent happened to me the other day. I woke up feeling AWFUL the day before a HUGE event in a kids life - 1st Cub Scout Campout of the year! I was mortified I was going to let my son down by being sick and us not being able to go. We were planning on going on Friday night after I got off the air, but I didn't even feel well enough to go to work, much less able to drive a vehicle the way I felt. So between in and out of consiousness, I told Hunter that we would be able to meet up with the scouts around lunch time on Saturday **crossing my fingers and praying that I would feel better in the morning**.

Well, I woke up Saturday not feeling like Death's older brother and felt a little better. We loaded the car with our gear (and loads of Vitamin C and tissues and saltines) and headed up to meet the rest of his buddies and families. We got there just in time for Hunter to shoot bb guns, do archery and play flag football. I laid in the tent on the air mattress which I swear was leaking air by the minute. Few things I could have done without on the trip:

1 - An encounter with a scout wielding his pocket knife like a real weapon - in the state I was in I didn't feel like playing along, so I told on him. Yeah, he was like 8 or 9, but if you don't teach them playing with knives is BAD, someone was going to lose an eye over the weekend or sometime soon in a neighborhood near you.

2 - Fort Wars between the Tigers, Wolves, Bears and Webelo's. For some reason, I thought the scouts was a brotherhood of sorts. Well not when territories are being threatened by other dens. So there was stealing of walking sticks, sticks being used as swords and weapons etc etc etc. Yes, boys will be boys, but jeez louise, they were like wild banshees.

3 - The showers. I guess boys just don't need a nice place to get clean. I didn't want to shower, but due to the fever and 90 degree heat, I was sweating like a pig and really needed to cool off. I shared my shower with a tree frog. Yes, a frog was clinging to the wall right above the shower head. It was the fastest shower in THE WORLD. Seriously, I would have won the Gold if it were an Olympic event.

I am now home and happy to say took a loooong shower. I have never felt so clean. Hunter is out skateboarding with his pals that live here. I don't know how he has any energy left at all!

Overall, I'm going to have to say this weekend was fun though. Even though I was not feeling that great, any weekend spent with my son is the very best!

Food Shopping is Puzzling

2008-10-16T13:36:00.000-07:00

I hate grocery shopping. To me a grocery store is just a HUUUUGE room of ingredients that I have no clue what to do with. And I always end up coming home with snacks and soda even when I do have a list. But since I have cut out soda, coffee and snacks from my diet, this should be an easier event than usual. I just won't go up those aisles. Why did I cut out soda, coffee and snacks? I don't know. I miss you Dr. Pepper.....I long for your cheesy taste Nacho Cheesier Doritos.....ohhh Starbucks....if I could only come in just ONCE more.......

GROCERY LIST

Raspberries

Blueberries

Bananas

Bag of cut up apples

Hot dog

Hot dog buns

Lemon water

Raspberry water

Pizza...numerous kinds

Marie Calendar frozen dinner things

Attune Probiotic Wellness Bars - Chocolate Crisp

Doritos - just for camping trip...if I'm going to be in the wilderness I might as well enjoy it

Oreos - again, just for the cub scout camping trip.....won't eat after Sunday

Starbucks bottled Frappacino's - I'M IN THE FREAKIN WOODS....come on!

Publix cake cookies - they're HALLOWEEN THEMED! won't eat after the 31st

Sunchips - they are better for me than Doritos...practically a health food

OK, are you noticing how I really don't have FOOD on here? I honestly don't know how to grocery shop. I am stuck. What else do people buy at the store? I am more of a go-out-to-eat person. They always cook it correctly, they supply me with the right amount of vegetables. I try to buy vegetables. Always have the intention to eat them. But I put them in the drawer in the fridge and the next time I see them they are being thrown away. Can't shopping be as easy as riding your bike with a loaf of bread sticking out of the bag?

Ya know what I need? An Alice. I need someone to come and make me food. I actually tried to do one of those food programs where they make homemade food for you, they freeze it, and you just take them out one by one and warm them up in the microwave....nope, couldn't stick to that either. Even that was too bothersome for me.

The last time I ate healthy on a normal/daily basis - High School when I was still living with my parents and brother.

Big day on IM

2008-10-15T12:31:00.000-07:00

Lots accomplished today - thanks to my friend January, I believe we have a great idea for Hunter's Halloween costume:

January : i saw an awesome costume idea
January : he could dress up as Michael Phelps
Tracy : swimming suit with medals???
Tracy : that would be good
January : easy and simple
January : and swim goggles
Tracy : that is a great idea Jan!!
January : i don't know how he'd feel about a Speedo
Tracy : HAHAHA!

I'll run that past him tonight when I get home. He's having his 2nd drum lesson today. The boy has rhythm! He is a fast learner and I believe he will be able to take over for any drummer at anytime by his 4th lesson. Tommy Lee- if you're reading this, be nervous.

I was the Lunch Lady at Hunter's school today. Sooooo much fun! I work in Snack World so the kids come to me to buy chips and cookies and stuff. I can't believe how many of them buy Salt and Vinegar chips! GROSS! They taste so bitter to me! I thought only my Mom and Oprah ate those. H always gets a bag of M&M cookies - good choice!

I am very devistated by the news of Madonna's divorce from that Guy. I feel badly for her and the kids. He kind of sounded like a tool to me (I read her brother Christopher's book), but then again, I respect her right to choose any Guy to marry.

Did you guys see this picture?

They look like twins! Creeeepy! My friend KT and I were talking about how much Ash and Demi bug us:

kt Demi Moore freaks me out
Tracy demi thinks she is 25
kt and I want to punch Ashton in the face
Tracy ME TOO!!!!
kt I find him totally irritating
Tracy he is nice to look at, but SHUT UP
kt yes
kt we get it
kt you think you are hilarious and adorable
kt but shut up
kt and you know who else bug me
Tracy who
kt Justin and Jessica Biel
kt I don't know why
Tracy they are annoying to me too
kt but they seem like they have giant corn cobs shoved up their butts
kt like they are too good for everyone
Tracy exactly!!
kt and I mean Justin is talented but outside of 7th heaven which was LAME who cares about Jessica Biel and her man arms!

kt do you blog everyday?
Tracy yep
Tracy if you would like me to put in a quote from you...please send it to me!
kt let me think...
kt but first let me call Egypt
kt hahaha
kt never said that before!

KT is working on the new ShiaLaBouf movie that is shooting in New Mexico (and all the actors just went to Egypt). We once sent a message to each other through Fergie (who I interviewed) and her fiance Josh Duhamel(he's working on the movie with KT). I told Fergie to ask Josh to tell KT I wanted my Rick James CD back. HAHAHA! We thought it was funny! Ya know, I have never gotten my RJ CD....I wonder if the message was relayed....

Talked to my sister Tami in LA today too, she asked how I was doing with the news of the break up. Then accused Madonna of saying something SHE DIDN'T say at the show on Saturday:

tami McD...flipped out some fans who sat down at the concert for a break...she is losing it....
Tracy it wasn't that big of a deal
Tracy just said get up...why are you sitting down?
tami that is the one I am talking about...she tossed out Streisand's name....
Tracy I didn't hear that
Tracy I thought she said something about not being at a briss or something
tami nope...a Barbara Streisand concert,
Tracy she said this is embarrassing!!
tami She is divorce grumpy
Tracy maybe she said it at the show the next night
tami I got it confirmed from Front Row people
Tracy she didn't say it at the saturday show
Tracy i would have heard her say it
Tracy the speakers reached my seats too, not just the front row

Madonna wouldn't attack another crazy democrat like herself! I didn't hear her say it and I'm sticking by it!

See told ya....busy day!

Weekend in NYC!

2008-10-14T12:41:00.000-07:00

I went and saw Madonna at Madison Square Garden this weekend!!WOO HOOO! Like the Diva she is - she was an hour and a half late to start the show. Aaaaaaand, like the Diva I am, I was really perturbed. I would like to talk about the show - but I don't want to ruin anything for anyone going to the show in Atlanta or Miami or anywhere else before her tour ends. I did see Kelly Ripa and her hot husband What's-his-name. HOT HOT HOT! I heard Jerry Seinfeld was there. He heard I was there too. I couldn't help myself - I wore my I HEART SARAH PALIN shirt to the show. Madonna rips on her for a minute during one of her songs, so I thought I would show SP some support! I'm a real Maverick! You Betcha!!!

I've been to NYC a million times and this was the first time I actually went to Carrie Bradshaw's apartment! There was a sign that said No Trespassing in front of the steps, but that didn't stop people from taking pics! I kept waiting for Big's towncar to pull up and for Carrie to run out and jump in! Oh I miss that show! I'm going to wear out my DVD's pretty soon and then I'll be introuble! As much as I like seeing it on the CW or TBS, it's not the same without the colorful mouth of Samantha Jones.

My friends and I met 2 really cool girls from London and they were trying to teach us some cockney slang....but then some kid was throwing a strop in the park and we left. I'm going to have to google some slang so I can hold a conversation with them next time...and adopt an English accent. Hunter (my son) will think it's odd, but then again, he knows I'm not totally sane.
