Over the past week or so, I’ve noticed a lot of awesome people having birthdays, and realized that I share my astrological sign with some kick-ass folks. Holla! Here’s a sample:
Diana Ross. Ah, the original diva turns 65 today! I’m truly happy to share both my sign and my hometown with this lady. Happy Birthday [...]

Open letter to Curt Schilling

Dear Curt,
I cannot tell a lie – you are not my favorite person in the world.
But you know what? On October 19, 2004, you were. To wit:
So thank you for giving me one of the greatest sports memories of my life. Happy retirement!
Best,
Elleen
P.S. Please, please, please, PLEASE don’t turn around and pull that coming-out-of-retirement crap [...]
Friday Jukebox: Springtime with Paula
Posted in 80s, Jukebox, Things That Make Elleen Happy, Video, music on March 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Twenty-one.
That is the number of Paula Abdul songs on my iPod. I know every word to every one. I am not ashamed.
I know, these days Paula spends her time acting completely high on American Idol, acting completely high on home shopping channels and, for a little while, acting completely high on her own reality show. [...]
Where my girls at?!

Ok, I waited and waited. Then I waited and waited some more. But now I have to say something.
I started this blog because several of my funny, witty girlfriends were already putting their thoughts out on the interwebs, and I thought their posts were absolutely fab. In my little musings, I aspired only to be [...]
Open letter to Kiefer Sutherland

My dear Kiefer,
Before I get to the bad part, let me start by saying I really enjoyed last night’s episode of 24. We can all agree that last season the show really crapped the bed. This season started off amazing (OMG the return of Tony as a bad guy, but then the revelation that he [...]
Housewives, cookies and fairytales: What got me through the week of 3/8/09
Posted in TV, Video, What Got Me Through, music on March 13, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So in a nutshell, this week sucked. The bad stuff my friends know about continues to be bad. Work is crappier than usual. I’m really, really fretting my upcoming birthday, which is a double-bummer because I’m usually very excited about birthdays. But not this year. Ugh.
But, that is not to say that certain things didn’t [...]
Jukebox: Friday the 13th edition

So it’s Friday the 13th. For the second time in as many months. Because I don’t need any more bad luck than I already have, I’ve decided to fight back. So here is my lucky playlist, full of superstitious references. I figure if I just put them all out there, the bad luck will stay [...]

So do I. I’m gonna start looking for him in my food. And my dog’s fur.
Jukebox: Pick-me-up edition

So this has been one tough week. The financial crisis hit way too close to home, and I had a mini breakdown followed by a mini depression. At least the weather warmed up this weekend, which gave me the opportunity to spend lots of time outdoors trying to help my dog and myself walk off [...]
The curious case of the moaning masseur
Posted in Things that annoy Elleen on March 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ok, so I alluded to this on my Facebook page a while back. But I’ll give you the full story here, because I’d like to hear people’s thoughts on just what I should do about the situation.
I love spa treatments – next to a vacation in some beachy land, going to the spa is my [...]
