• What the….what?

    Allow me to translate what Seattle Seahawks player Richard Sherman said in his interview after the NFC Championship game. I had to rewind it twenty times before I knew exactly what the bloody hell he was blabbering about. Reporter: “Richard, let me ask you, the final play, take me through it.” Sherman (shouting as if he is rapping on an Usher song, “Yeah!”): “Well, I am the best corner in the game. (which is his opinion, he has a right to his own opinion) When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree that’s the result you gonna get. Don’t you ever talk about me!” Terrified reporter trying to…

  • Her

    I did something this weekend I rarely do. I watched a movie that was not rated “G.” There wasn’t an animated princess, minion, fish, etc. I saw the movie “Her” at night in an actual theater. I didn’t even smuggle popcorn or candy inside, opting instead to waste my son’s college fund at the concession stand. When the popcorn was gone I suggested my husband refill the container so we could bring some home to the kids. “What the hell is wrong with you?” he asked. We laughed. Then, I picked a few kernels out of my dentures and hiked up my nude knee high pantyhose. I will be honest,…

  • Wedgie

    It’s a new day which means another celebrity is going to post a picture of themselves on Twitter.   I’ve never had the urge to go in the bathroom to snap a selfie.   You’re welcome.  My favorite pics are when people are obviously posing, but pretend to be caught off guard.  Oh, I didn’t see you standing there with a camera. I was just risking my life, hanging on to this plant near a cliff in Mexico while standing in my underwear. (I call that Tuesday) Actress Lea Michele posted this pic on New Year’s Day. There is no denying she is talented and gorgeous.   The girl also has…

    I cannot wait for Jimmy Fallon to take over The Tonight Show so I can actually stay up to watch it.  Thanks Dawn for sharing this bit:

  • Missing

    I remember when the story came into our newsroom.   A local girl had supposedly gone missing while on spring break in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  I say supposedly because in the news industry a person isn’t missing until police say so.   Over the years we have received countless phone calls from frantic loved ones pleading with us to run a photo on the evening news.  They begged for help, but our hands were tied until it authorities confirmed it to be suspicious.  More often than not the missing person turned out to be a runaway.   Initially,  many people in our newsroom were skeptical about Brittanee Drexel’s supposed disappearance. …

  • Crying over Apple

    I cry every time this commercial comes on television and (every time) my 6-year-old says, “Mom, you do know it’s a commercial about Apple.  They make phones and Ipods.  Why does that make you sad?”  It’s hard to explain.  It’s the same reason I cry at the end of Toy Story 3 and while reading “Love You Forever.”  He doesn’t understand yet, but someday he will.  

  • Just Because

    Everyone has that Facebook “friend” who is always bragging about how perfect her life is.  #Liar     There is Facebook and then there is the truth.  You’re not going to post the argument that ensued after he left his socks on the floor again.  You’re status won’t include complaints about her spending and his daily lunch tab.  The bouquet of flowers he got “just because” are probably because he came home really late without bothering to call.  I can’t remember the last time I got flowers “just because.”   So, I was tickled pink when the fine folks at TheBouqs.com offered to send me a bouquet straight from the farm. …
