The Don vs Ro!!

Wow, I never knew how absolutely fabulous this feud would become! The mudslinging--the mudslinging!!

I always loved Rosie! I watched her movies--I watched her show--I read her magazine. But then her show ended and she came out with this hideous Boy George haircut, and was suddenly 100% SNARK!! Then to have her come out so viciously against the war--well, along with all of Hollywood-she wasn't too original with that. She would yell at me and call me "homophobic", but I've known she was gay for YEARS!! Always questioned it, but when a single, rich, woman adopts a baby alone---it cemented it for me. Maybe not a fair stereotype--but I knew it then, but had questioned it for many years before that! But she has changed! It isn't just that she's turned mean--I'm not sure she was ever nice--but she's just so "In Your Face" about her stances, and your ideas, if different, are just stupid!

Take the war--everytime she gets on her soap box about bringing our children home--I have to shake my head. None of us want our Brave Men and Women injured or killed, but they are doing a great thing in Iraq-even if their own countrymen won't give them credit for it. These are patriotic Americans who knew what they were signing up for, and were still Great enough to do it! Rosie's kids aren't over there--Rosie's kids will never be over there. You have to have a pride in your country, a love for your country, and a feet planted on the earth LOVE of your freedom. Rosie has instilled none of these qualities in her "Cruise sailing, dolphin swimming, mansion living, pampered" children. You don't get quality out of spoiled goods!!

Now--I'm not a huge fan of Donald Trumps either. I think he looks like a reverse raccoon in every news conference, yes, bad hair--but you know what--he isn't MEAN! Well, until you get him going about Rosie!! He said in a recent interview--and I quote--"Rosie's a loser. She's been a loser always," the real estate mogul and host of NBC's "The Apprentice," said Thursday in a phone interview with The Associated Press. "Her show failed, her magazine failed. Barbara Walters gave her new life, but she'll fail at that also because she's inherently a stone-cold loser." He ends his tirade with the following: "It will never end on my behalf because I've exposed Rosie for what she is: a very dumb human being," Trump told the AP. "She's got no intelligence, but I've known that for a long time. Unfortunately, Rosie's pulled the wool over the public."

Now I must stand on my chair and wave my arms in the air---I AM NOT FOOLED!! I, TOO, SEE EXACTLY WHAT ROSIE IS...AND ISN'T!! I feel bad though--Another Stakeout, is one of my most favorite movies...EVER--and I just can't watch it anymore--because I can't go into fantasy land with her anymore! She has destroyed her persona--and that's too bad!! I haven't watched The View for years--way, way, WAY to Liberal for me--but Star Jones was the one I loved. They gave her hell for all of her wedding stuff being aired--and that was the part I loved! But once she was gone, and Ro was stepping up--I stepped away! And I won't be stepping back!!

My Big Sis Got Published!!

I'll let you read about it on her blog! It was big news!! Genki Desu Yo!!: I Got Published Today!! Check it out!! She did a great job!!

Quick Email!!

I just sent off an email to the Hershey's company! My son brought home the new Chocolate Kisses with peanut butter in them. I'm not a big peanut butter fan, but realized what a killing they could make from me alone if they created a White Chocolate Kiss with crushed peppermint sticks in them! I buy Peppermint Chocolate bark every year, and they charge an arm and a leg for it--so how cool to get it in a chocolate kiss! Even if they only sold them during the holidays--I would buy enough to get me through the year, and store them. Yep, they could make a killing from just me!!

The Mail Has Come!!

Well, I have officially finished my Christmas collecting! My mother in law's vegetable peeler from Pampered Chef came in the mail today. My daughters gift off of Ebay came today. My neighbors Christmas cards from Costco came today--although they were totally late, and completely screwed up!! It was a good mail day! The boys Jerseys came yesterday and are under the tree already! I have a couple of things to wrap, and then --- I'm finished!! Not really--I guess I still have stockings to stuff! Holy Cow---it's never ending!!!

Holiday Gifts!!

Today I made my holiday gifts for my neighbors! They looked yummy--I hope they tasted the same!! I should warn you --that although this is not a picture of the cookies I made with my hands--this is the picture for the recipe that I followed. It was on BHG.com--and it is so festive, cute and yummy!! I thought they turned out darling, and everything was wrapped in a cute red and white gingham ribbon to match the colors of the cookies!! Marscapone Creamies!!

Veggie Lasagna!!

Tonight we are having my favorite dinner! Veggie Lasagna! Yep, it's the best, and even better than being the best--it's already made! It's Stouffers, and it's the best! We don't eat it very often because it costs $15.00 to purchase one. But last week, I finally gave in and got one! It takes about an hour to bake--but OOOOOOHHHH is it worth it! I'm not patient enough to make it by myself--although I guess I should learn--it's probably cheaper to make than to purchase!!

Bon Appetite!!

MEN IN TREES!!

I just got up to get the boys out the door for school--and after a week of being sick again--I feel even worse today than I did yesterday!! How is that possible! I should be feeling better, it's been a week! But the exhaustion is much worse--I'm heading back to bed in a minute! And I can't even talk today! I have to strain to get a loud whisper out. So I will take a little nap and then soothe my throat with some hot raspberry tea with cream and sugar---oooooooh, that sounds good--I think I'll do that before the nap!

I have to meet my hubby for lunch today! I'm excited--we never get to have lunch together, so that will be fun. Well, fun if I feel any better!! Then tonight--it's the Thursday night premier of "Men in Trees". It used to be on Friday's--and then it hasn't been on for two weeks! I'm dying--going through withdrawals! It's my favorite show on tv, and FINALLY!!!!!! I get to watch it again! Jack is going to follow Marin to NYC--I just know it!! Well, he better or I'm out! OK, total lie--I'm far too hooked to be out if he doesn't!! Just highly (slightly) annoyed!!! GO ABC!!! For any of you "newbies" to the show--it's on after Gray's Anatomy.

BYU----UTAH--RIVALRY WEEK

Well, today was the annual rivalry football game between the Brigham Young University Cougars and the University of Utah Runnin' Utes!

Now I have to say--I grew up with season tickets to University of Utah basketball. From the time of Tom Chambers and Pace Mannion down through Jimmy Soto and Bryron Wilson! We LOVE Ute Basketball--but for some reason--Love and tremendous respect for Lavell Edwards--We LOVE Cougar Football!

Well, today it was an AWESOME game! By that I mean--the Cougars won--but it was a very close game--those are the best kind!

It's Over!!

Elections have come and gone! Looks like the Dems have swept the congress and the senate. Who knew that was possible! I'm very excited because the ONE person I wanted to win--did!! Yippeee---go PETER!!!

The kids have a long weekend from school this week! Not fun--I'll have to figure something out for them--they go stir crazy being cooped up all weekend! But a four day weekend is ridiculous!!

They got their report cards! All A's! Fabulous! Their teachers both raved at conferences! I'm just happy that they are well behaved at school! Nightmare if they weren't!!

Elections are coming!!

Wow, I can't believe we are so close to another election! I can't wait just to get our tv programming back. I'm so sick of all of the political ads, all the spin, all the lies!! I just want my normal commercials back!

I am going to force my husband out to the polls! He is in the process of opening a new restaurant, and is very busy--so it will literally be forcing him to the polls! They open early enough, and it is just up the street! I'm hoping to stop by after driving Kate to school! That way I will only have one child with me instead of 4!! Yeah!

Hopefully, all of my favorites will win!! Doubtful-but one can hope!!
