CA Girl

I consider myself a good friend.  The kind of friend who will listen when you are having a bad day.  The kind of friend who will send you chocolate when the chips are down.  The kind of friend who will help you hide the body.  And if needs be, I will shoot you.  So yesterday, when Emmy asked me to shoot her...I obliged.  See, I am a good friend.  I got your back.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Better late than never!!!  They have gone classical tonight, complete with a full orchestra.  This presents at least two challenges:  performing with a full orchestra and using classical music for dances...this doesn't always work. Katherine and Mark 1-800-868-3410 Katherine and Mark  are dancing the Rumba.  What amazes about Katherine is how she manages to fall in rehearsal every week and then in performance she pulls off the dance of a pro! Len called it a classy Rumba. Bruno said she was an entertain-able object of desire(but he does like his Rumba's raunchier) Carrie Ann on the other hand felt it could have generated more heat, but the lines were perfect.  Scores: Carrie Ann:  9 Len: 9 Bruno: 9 Total: 27 Melissa and Maks 1-800-868-3407 Maks has a cyst and some fractures in his foot, but the show must go on. They carry out rehearsals with his brother Val. As a result, their Argentine Tango is rough, but overall pretty g...

Before I tell you what made me smile...allow me to give you a little what I like to call, "high school dish."  Kristin went back to school yesterday with a drama free day.  The boy with the disturbing crush, was no where to be seen.  And the one she likes, who for now I will refer to as "Z", reported this boy's stepbrother--also another huge problem--to the principal.  And as a bonus, Kristin and her friend Val, made it into the Variety Show.  And those are bonus smiles!  Now for the ten other things that made me smile!!! 1.  On April Fool's Day I did a sneak attack on my kids with silly string.  No pics.  It was just fun. 2.  I played softball with the kids....and found out, I can actually (after a few misses) still hit it out there! 3.  Going to a new place and seeing new things.... 4.  Getting a good dental check up....now that is always good!  5.  Even though it was wrong, I still couldn't help but smi...

Don't make a blogger angry because I guarantee she will be writing about you in her blog the next day.  She will rip you shreds.  Make you out to be the worst villain ever and have her be the unsung hero.  Come on it's her blog, of course she comes out on top.   Why do we do this?  Because it's our blog that's why!  It's a heck of a lot cheaper than therapy.  And because we have formed many friends across the cyber-verse and as women we wish to share these moments so that we can build our army and kick butt and take names if we must.  Kristin met a boy at church.  Great place.  There's a couple of problems.  He is 18.  Ooops.  The other one is this other boy who has a disturbing crush on her and is harassing her now.  He is making accusations about the other boy and caused her to become very upset on Friday to point of tears.  (He sent her a slew of texts.)  Rich called him and left a voice as he did n...

It is Motown Night, and Smoky Robinson, Martha Reid, and The Temptations are guesting for them.  Is it just because they have never done it before or is because Gladys Knight is on this season.  Whatever.  Not only will they be dancing to Motown, they will be dancing a dance marathon tonight. Gladys and Tristan 1-800-868-3411 First up, none other than:  Gladys and Tristan dancing a Rumba to "My Girl."  She loves this song, and Tristan gets a musical history lesson from Gladys.  Now this would be fun.  Oh the stories she could tell!  Their Rumba is very nice and clean.  Not exactly Rumba material.  But it is a good clean dance.  And she shines. Len said that if it came purely from his heart she would be at the top of leader board. He went onto say that she was not the best dancer, but that she was the most charismatic dancer.  Appealing. Bruno said when it comes to her she has undeniable star quality. He told her Motow...

Someone snuck into my room in the night, and turned on my cranky switch.  Not only that, they hid it.  Who does that?  I tell ya, heads are gonna roll. I love to watch The Chew on ABC.  I am not sure what I enjoy more.  Watching the food prep, or the hosts get very excited about what they are eating.   Either way, I enjoy the show. Every woman cuts herself shaving.  It's a fact.  Maybe not every time.  But we do.  The last time I shaved, I cut my fingernail....yep.  My fingernail.  I know.  I think I was using my other hand as a guide line.  And then I took a chunk of nail in the process.  It sure bled a lot.  But seriously...who in the world has ever cut off part of their fingernail while shaving?? I found a cheat--one of many-- for Draw Something to help when you can't figure out a drawing, have no bombs or have used up the bomb.  Have you ever heard of barking spiders?  They ar...

As you know, I am having trouble loving my neighbors.  I want you all to know, that I am trying.  I went and spoke with the guardians of the boys who were also involved with the smashing of the Christmas lights.  It turns out they are being raised by their grandparents.  That would be a rough gig.  They are not old grandparents but they are older than I am.  These boys are 7 and 9.  It was a completely different feel when I went to that house.  It was one of shock and horror at first.  And then a total assurance that an apology would be made.  I almost felt bad.  Almost.  I mean they did do something wrong after all. The grandfather brought them to me and had them apologize for what they did.  I asked them what happened.  They told me they had smashed the lights.  They lowered their heads in shame.   I thanked them for telling me.  It was just a totally different feel.  Grandpa apologized ...
