I can die happy now. Yesterday, I spoke to Tim Gunn.
Now, it wasn’t exactly over lunch at the Da Silvano. It was at a shopping mall in Virginia surrounded by a couple hundred other people. Still, it was a magical moment for me.
Let me back up. I heard that Tim Gunn was coming as part [...]

It just occurred to me that I neglected to share who I chose to replace Jason Varitek on my “list!” So sorry!
I know I put it to a vote, and that y’all picked Gerard Butler. He’s a hot hottie, don’t get me wrong. But in the end, I decided on an nice yummy piece of [...]

Moving sucks. I hate it. More than almost anything.
Don’t get me wrong – I love getting a new fresh start in a new place. But the sorting through of things, packing things, throwing away things, losing things, repacking things, unpacking things, not being able to find things, breaking things…it all sucks rocks. All of it. [...]

I realized this week that my “Kick-Ass Chick” list was in dire need of an update. I mean, my favorite woman ON THE PLANET wasn’t on there! Sheesh! So I have added four names to the list. (Sorry, none if them is Beyoncé. Nope.)
Michelle Obama. HOW could she have spent a second NOT on this [...]

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:

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

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. [...]

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 [...]
