OHMYGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sheri Shepherd just got a bikini wax on The View. I did not need to be exposed to that!! I only saw the last ten seconds or so because by the grace of God I was in the other room when it started but that was more than enough.
I mean really, what's next??? First Treat Williams' old and chubby belly and now this!! I don't know if I can take any more this week!
And the other hosts were in hysterics! What is so funny about having you know what pulled out by the roots on national television? My mind was whirling all over the place. Does this girl not have any pride?? And who wants to bare it all anyway?? No, don't tell me....I'm sure there are plenty of them. I read about them in those Chick Lit stories but to actually watch someone have it was a whole other experience.
Back to the mind whirling....Of course, they didn't show anything but I am a woman so I could kind of guess what was going on..hence the mind whirling. I didn't want to think about it but I kinda couldn't help it! Have you ever had something like that happen to you?? Plus a whole bunch of inappropriate words were whirling in there too and my Puritan side going stop thinking that and then the thought of the pain and when it was done and she said it was a Brazilian I was pretty sure what that was and the Puritan gasped and the woman went Ew! and not one part of the whirl thought it was the least bit funny.
Maybe I'm getting too old to appreciate the humor in it. Maybe if I ever had one, I'd have found it hilarious. But the only time I had a "Brazilian" was when the babies were born and I only have one thing to say to ole Sheri--just wait til it starts to grow out!!!!! Nobody will be laughing then.

Good Ad/Bad Ad
Have you seen Mary J Blige in a new commercial? I don't even know what it was for I was so fascinated by her. As she walked toward the camera, she would do a movement and her entire outfit and hair changed--presto!! I want to do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so cool. I was so fascinated by the phenomenon, I paid no attention to what was being said or sold. Now that is my kind of commercial. Sometimes, I am glad we can't fast forward all the time.
On the other hand, it was followed by a commercial for McDonalds McCafe( you have to imagine the little mark over the Cafe--I can't find it to insert.) Anyway this guy in a minivan gets ragged on by a biker about his vehicle and then it starts to rain and the van guy gets all smug and says, "that's a Van-Ay to you." At least that's what I thought he said. I couldn't figure out for the life of me what in the heck that was supposed to mean. I have probably seen the commercial ten times and it finally dawned on me that he is saying van-ay to rhyme with cafe!!
omg That was completely stupid. Talk about going from the sublime to the ridiculous in less than a minute!!
Then to add insult to injury, we were watching THE STORM on NBC (not the whole thing just the last 25 minutes whilst waiting for the news. And they showed Treat Williams getting a massage (he's the bad guy I think) and it showed his bare body. Not all of it mind you, just a ...shall we say slice of his torso. OMG Mr Williams you should not have agreed to let that be shown. Older men and women should stay covered up!!!! Trust me. All I could think was "MY EYES"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's amazing what can get packed into less than five minutes of television, isn't it? I think I'll read a book tonight!

Oh Harry
Oh, Harry... you went and grew up on me!! No more the cute little boy who liked candy and saying "Illumiatis"(or whatever... I'm a fan not a fanatic) and then couldn't believe his eyes when the wand actually lit up. Your eyes don't glow at the banquet hall feasts anymore. You are a jaded wizard now. You are used to all the glitz and glamour and terror that comes with the territory.
You even like a girl who likes you back! What is up with that??? No more the cute little boy who got crushes on girls who didn't have a clue he was alive.
I miss that sense of wonder and guilelessness in Harry. I guess I'll have to break out the old books again. Oh well, everybody has to grow up--even Harry!

Good Trip/Bad Trip
When I was a young woman there were good trips or bad trips but they had nothing to do with going to the grocery store(not that I ever had a good or bad trip honest) which is where I went today.
It was a good trip because it looked like it was going to rain and some organized woman(wait, it's me) had the forethought to take an umbrella and not leave it in the car. I took it because I thought if I did it wouldn't rain...silly me.
It did rain--actually it was a deluge and the umbrella was a pretty good defense against it but I am still soaked down one pant leg and I have been home about 20 minutes now. I did manage to save our newspaper before it was soaked beyond belief so that was good too.
It was a bad trip because it poured down rain. The entire time from leaving the grocery store until getting home. It was also bad because I really hate those checkouts. I always try to use the self-check out but I forgot I bought beer and wine so I had to wait for someone to make sure I was 21(tee hee..the joke was on them!). The kid who came over and verified my age looked to be around 13 herself so...........what is up with that anyway? Plus she was a little snot. I had two items so I asked if she had to swipe it after the next one and she just walked away and tossed a nasty "NO" over her shoulder like I was the stupidest woman ever born. Well, at least I was 21!

The Nose Knows
OHMYGOSH!!! I just heard a report that Michael Jackson's nose went missing in the morgue. I bet that's possible. Have you seen the pictures? There have been more close ups of the nose than there ever were when he was alive. It'll probably be on Ebay at any moment. Or maybe Sotheby's will auction it off.
I never liked my nose. I think it is too big and has a goofy bump on it. I never even entertained the idea of doing anything too it ( oh, except one time when I was about 15 and had no idea what a "nose job" entailed).
I have come to respect my nose and understand that it doesn't rival that of Cyrano de Bergerac. It's just a nose. Well, not really. My nose has an uncanny ability to smell even the subtlest of scents. I'm always the milk smeller and the wine smeller. I can smell smoke on you from twenty paces. I can smell the sour sponge or the tiniest rose.
This is an ability that one should not sniff at(pardon the pun).. if there was a fire starting in your home, you would want me to be there to raise the alarm.
So anyway, MJ had an obsession with his nose. Apparently, he finally thought he got it right. I wonder if he could smell anything? He sure didn't notice his hair was on fire back in the day. If my hair was on fire, I would know in a hot minute(once again my apologies for the pun).
So what do you think the thief or thieves are doing with Michael's poor fake nose?? Putting it under glass? Selling it on the black market?? Having it transplanted onto their own face?? Who knows? It's probably just a hoax anyway.

Silencio!
For some reason my television has turned Spanish on me. When I hit the mute button, it says Silencio instead of Mute. It's really cracking me up. None of the other commands come up in Spanish nor do the people on the television speak Spanish.
I had to make a couple of calls so I hit the mute button. The first time it silencioed(SP?? I took French)it was the local show with Fred Griffith and a couple of young people who I don't know. It made me smile to shut them up.
The second time it was Bruce Jenner. Silencio, Bruce!!! Now that I just loved. Oh and it shut up Bonnie Hunt too. It actually felt pretty powerful. OLE!!
Obviously, my Spanish side is mean and vindictive or else the television has some strange power over me when it speaks Spanish...now that's a scary thought. I would hate to be ruled by a Spanish speaking television. Most of the time I wouldn't know what it was talking about. But "Silencio" is pretty clear.
Oh, wait, I think it is talking to me again. It's saying..............Silencio, Susita!!!
OLE!

The Song Keeps Going Around and Around
Boy, I hate it when a song gets stuck in your head. I really hate it when it gets stuck in your head when you are supposed to be going to sleep. Last night a song kept running through my head over and over until I just had to get out of bed and go and watch television for 2 HOURS(!)
until I was tired enough to actually sleep and it got out of my head.
BUT GUESS WHAT?? It is back this morning with a vengeance. It's not a bad song and it really makes me smile(at least most of the time) and I didn't even know my brain could multitask like it has been doing this morning. Even as I type this, the song keeps running quietly in the background. I ask you, is this madness or what???
I have tried replacing it with a different song but to no avail. I am beginning to wonder if it is ever going to stop. I suppose it will when I least expect it. At least it isn't a sad song or a long song like the one where someone left the cake out in the rain. Once I had When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again running through my brain but it got cancelled out by the one that is running through my head right this very minute.
Did you ever have that happen to you?? How in the world did you ever get it to go away? When I was learning from Oprah on how to be a more serene person etc, that guy she was working with would just say you should just empty your mind and relax. I have NEVER been able just to empty my mind unless I'm on the verge of sleep. I try and try but the song just keeps going around and around......... it's a good thing I'm retired and can sleep in if I need to.
I wonder if it ever happens to the President or Brad Pitt or Kim Hong-Il? Probably. I wonder what they do??
