Curious George Dance Contest

March 21, 2012

Curious George is still celebrating the arts. He is now dancing up a storm and hosting a fun dance contest for kids! Who doesn’t love to dance? Not only is it fun but it’s a great form of exercise and self-expression. I tried to get the twins to dance to the Curious George theme song [...]

Calm the F(#% Down

January 16, 2012

Who gives words power? We do. Words have no power on their own, unlike cats they are not created with an all knowing all powerful attitude. They are inanimate and as easily manipulated as play doh. Have you ever heard a southern belle say “Bless her heart”? She doesn’t mean that, but she has manipulated [...]

Switched at Birth

December 30, 2011

TV Guide used to have a column talking about “The Best Show You’re Not Watching”.  This year that show is Switched at Birth.  ABCFamily recently sent me a DVD of Season 1 to watch before Season 2 begins next week.  I am completely hooked.  Completely. I usually use the TV as background noise.  My taste [...]

Flat

December 15, 2011

I have made no secret of how flat I have been feeling this week, but to have TWO flat tires in one week is really asking to much of someone.

Ready Set Grover!

September 3, 2011

The good people at Sesame Street (I think his name was Mr. Hooper) sent me over a game for the grand twins to try out on the Wii.  And then Kathy called the contractors and the house got put under quarantine for a few weeks. Last Sunday evening I made a big family dinner (Crock [...]

Once Upon a Time

August 31, 2011

Based upon the trailer below (which I have seen countless times on tv and at press events) I have not had any interest in seeing the new ABC Fall show Once Upon a Time. It looked too dark and creepy for my liking. While at D23 I agreed to go to a viewing of the [...]

Yoplait Light Swap

August 24, 2011

I was invited to a luncheon last week sponsored by Yoplait Light Yogurt.  When RSVP’ing I informed them that I had never tasted yogurt in my life and in fact had an aversion to it.  I guess that intrigued them enough to allow me to come anyways and I am oh so glad it did. [...]

Bullets From the Brain

May 9, 2011

I have a million thoughts on blog posts running through my head, but none are anything I want to elaborate on at the moment.  So instead you get bullet points. I agree with President Obama on his decision to not show pictures and/or video of the killing of Osama Bin Laden (there will be a [...]

Minnie’s Masquerade

February 1, 2011

Updated with a coupon below! When I was growing up there were two major character brands, Warner with the Bugs Bunny Crew and Disney with the Mickey Mouse bunch.  Hanna Barbara came about with some extraneous others but nothing as big as Bugs and Mickey (face it, Yogi was never the icon they wanted him [...]

False Idols

January 27, 2011

Image via Wikipedia I started watching American Idol in it’s second season. I would tape it on my VCR and watch it later that evening or the next day. When I saw Clay Aiken that year during the “audition” episodes, I paused rewound and called Marisa in to the room. I believe I referred to [...]
