January is Idol Time

Here we go again. The fourth season of “American Idol” begins in January. Auditions already have been held in Cleveland and St. Louis. The show also is planning auditions in Anchorage, Alaska; Las Vegas; New Orleans; Orlando, Fla.; and San Francisco. My daughter is DYING to audition for American Idol. She’s only 13 and has some pretty awesome pipes. However, you have to be 16 in order to audition, so she has to wait. What I wanna know is who is going to drive her across the country to the audition and sit with her, among thousands and thousands of […]

Seems like only yesterday…

That he was a young babe in my arms. My 14 year old son and I just returned from registering for his first year of high school. I’m counting the gray hairs as we speak!

Attending a Wedding

Chris and I are having a really, really lazy day. We’ve pretty much stayed curled up in bed all day today with our coffee, munchies, movies and occassional blogging from our respective laptops. At the moment, we’re attending a wedding as we laze around. My friend, Chelle is getting married in Georgia this evening! A bunch of us had chipped in to buy her and Joe a top of the line video web cam so that she could simulcast it across the net for those of us who couldn’t travel down there to attend! It starts in 5 minutes! I’m […]

Way Cool People

Wanted to pay some appreciation to some way cool blog people – – I don’t know these people beyond the blog, but I appreciate their presence around here! : I enjoy Sean’s frequent postings of Kerry’s House of Ketchup — he keeps me entertained, keeps me smiling and keeps me informed with these postings. I find the timing of his posts to be highly suspicious! 😉 I need to make a point of stopping down at Mayfair’s Barnes and Nobles one of these days soon! Mogs posts are always enjoyable from politics to cats – – a fellow masochist in […]

Hook-A-Thon

I made an offer for the Hook-A-Thon, which is sponsored at www.hook-a-thon.com. It’s a good thing. I emailed my offer over to Dana at the Hook-A-Thon website and I’m waiting to see if she accepts it. Here’s the offer: Heya Dana! Not sure if you’re accepting donations of intangible goods, or not. However, I want to donate a blogging account. I run a blog and web site hosting service located at www.blogs-about.com and would like to donate the following to the Hook-A-Thon: 6 month blog hosting account. Free Installation and complete set up of WordPress – including a blog template […]

Kid #1

The boy and I got into a roof-raising fight earlier this evening. For, seemingly, no reason at all – – not that I could tell anyways. I asked him to get away from his computer and mow the lawn before it got dark. He blew. He’s 15 years old – does he need a reason? Well…yea, he better have one helluva good reason to blow at me like that. He tells me he just has ‘stuff on his mind’ and is ‘going through things’ that cause him to blow easily these days. I try to get him to talk about […]

Dad

There is no describing that man who raised me. He truly defies description and it is beyond my reach to be able to accurately explain the man that he is. He’s extraordinary. He is as simple as he is complex. He is the most down to earth and really real human being I’ve ever known. When I was a little girl – – I was his ” lil’ bit “. When I was a teenager – He was my biggest cheerleader. When I landed the job as the lead singer for “Kidd Sister” – a regional rock band – – […]

Vinny!!

Warn me next time, would ya? Vinny says: I hear Kerry will be giving his acceptance speech tonight. I also hear that there will be an extensive marathon of slug coitus on the Snails Fucking Channel. Decisions, decisions… Slug coitus. *snort*

Bloggin' The RNC

Just popped in at home – taking a break in the work day. I have to head back to the office for a meeting at 3pm. I really dislike end of the day meetings – – it really puts a kink in my plans to skip out early and be home by 2pm! Oh, by the way – – I have SIX working days left! So, I’m having a bit of coffee and randomly surfing around at some of the blogs in my roll: Live! From The Blogger’s Corner – – fellow bloggers have recieved their credentials and have been […]
