Season 14 is going to be amazing!  And that is all I have to say about that.  Let's get this party started!  Derek and Maria 1-800-868-3401 Derek describes Maria's first dance steps as "Bambi like"....on ice.  She has an....interesting laugh. It borders on creepy.  You just have to hear it to truly appreciate it.  Maria will definitely have the male vote, while Derek will have the female vote. I see lots of potential here.  She just needs to step out of her shell, and she won't have to step far either.  She did good. Len told her that nothing prepares you for the first dance, and that overall she coped very well. He said she needed a little more hip action but great stuff otherwise.  Bruno said she was  curvaciously delicious, and that her timing was good.  He wants her to be softer on the hip work.  "Open the sex spot." Carrie Ann told her she did a great job, but she wanted to see more confidence in her. ...

Dancing with the Stars started last night!  Wow!  I am excited about this season.  And that is all I am saying about that.  If you all didn't love my recaps so much, I would probably just not do it.  It's hard work yo!  And I do not get paid for it.  Too bad too.  That would be a sweet gig. What is this?  It's my new addiction!!!  Thanks a lot Emmy !  hahaha.  But I also have many others hooked too.  It's called "Draw Something" and it is like Pictionary.  It's really fun.  If you have a smart phone.  You have to play it. Oh and that is an iPad.  I had to text my sister and ask her what the heck it was.  How do you draw that anyway?  Yeah we all cheat and text each other.  We don't want to break our streaks!  I've noticed though that once you hit 99 it stops counting!  What!?  It should move back to zero.  Kind of like a speedometer. Did you ever run out of g...

You have no power here! Friday my Twitter account was hacked.  For those of you who follow me, you might have received this message from me: " Hey. somebody is saying bad stuff about you here"  and then a bogus link followed it.  Well I should have listened to my instinct and texted  my bestie Emmymom --cause she's got my back. She would have told me DON'T click that!!! I also know that Mimi's got my back too, but stupid Verizon didn't save her in my contact list--that's another story.  I digress.  I clicked the link!!!!  GAH!   Well that opened a can a worms and it sent those messages to many of you that follow me!  Well I am glad you checked with me first!!  See that is smart!  I had to change my password twice, and my email plus revoke privileges from Twitter.  It's finally under control. I just have one question for the hackers.  What is their point?  No private information is available in my ...

I confess..... I am going to Zumba--once again to escape my crazy life....I can not be the only the only person who does this.  If I am that is just sad.  But I am and that is that. I confess... I did not participate in PMM with Emmymom and Kmama yesterday because I felt ornery.  I was just thinking about the fact that kids do not listen.  They have fantastic hearing.  They just do not listen.  It's amazing how many times I have to tell them to do something.  And it's even more amazing that they are surprised and/or upset that they are getting yelled at when they haven't done what I've told them to do 5 or 6 times previously. I confess.... I mutter under my breath "You suck!" every time I pass the Verizon Kiosk. Mostly because I am chicken to simply shout it.  Because let's face it, they do.  I confess.... On days when I am cranky--kind of like today--I wish I took kick boxing.  It would relieve so much tension.  Can...

Call me a dork, but I have been going crazy looking for my Monkees photo album for the past week.  I have pictures in it that I can not replace.  Memories of happy times.  Oh the stories I have!  And in some cases, a picture to back it up.  But not without that photo album!  I was going crazy.  I felt stupid, but I actually prayed that I would find the darned thing.  It took a couple more days of searching, but I finally it, plus another with even more photos in it!  Wow.  I was so happy.  I found treasures I had even forgotten about!  Treasures like this one... That's right baby, he signed that one to me.  Me!  Yours truly.  I felt like Marcia Brady.  No he didn't take me to my prom.  I did run a fan club for all four of them for a few years from about 1988.  I ran it with a friend for about 2 years, and then on my own for another year or so.  It was then that I received this photo from Mr...

I am ready for Spring.  It keeps giving us previews but then winter comes back and laughs at us.  But winter, I am over you.  I am ready to part ways. Besides, Daylight Savings has come so that means it really is time for you go.  So POOF!  Be gone! Kristin is reading Odyssey.  Do you remember reading this?  She asked me to help her understand it.  It's funny, I really don't remember it very well from high school, but as I read it I was sure thinking well this is a good story.  And hearing it helped her understand. But I still have to ask, why do kids have to read this stuff?  Because we won't chose it as adults?  Why  not let them pick?  I guess to see and appreciate the different styles of writing.  There was an accident this morning.  I didn't see it.  Rich was taking Kristin to school, and they saw the result of a very bad accident.  She said the kid on the stretcher looked familiar.  I g...

I found this video on Facebook the other day.  You will have to turn the sound up...at least I did.  Here is my take.  First of all, the images are questionable at best.  Is this what they really look like?  I haven't traveled since they brought these out.  I am kind of geeky.  I think it would be cool.  Kind of like new age, and super spy.  But it's kind of hard to be a super spy in an airport full of people who have to do the exact same thing.  It's also even harder when we are being told our rights as American citizens are being taken away from us.  And this is where I get my panties in a wad. After 9/11, Rich was transferred to Washington DC.  He was part of Homeland Security.  And later was part of the Terrorist Screening Center.  We lived on a military base which was guarded by MP's who had arms the size of tree trunks and carried weapons.  They did random inspections of vehicles and if your car ...
