Some Thanksgiving table shots from Thursday. It was so pretty, I wouldn't eat. Seriously, kind of. I was hoping that my step-mother would offer me all of the napkin holders wrapped up inside the black and green place mats as a party favor. I am emailing her this now...

Quote Of The Day


Aly: "I know that deep down in your soul..."

Alex: "Aly, I don't have a soul. That spiritual crap will not work on me. Never has."

This is the tree house I grew up in. Literally. I am a tree person. The people that owned my childhood house before us made the saddest little wood concoction in this tree that I treasured as the greatest hang out ever at one point. In the spaciously designed 4x3 area, I would get four of five us sitting on the floorboards not smoking found cigarette butts. I always thought I skipped past my childhood, sped through it, galloping towards adulthood. But when I was sitting in that "tree house" for hours with four other girls, I was experiencing my own kind of childhood. The leaves here got me thinking about Thanksgiving tomorrow...

Quote Of The Day


Me: “I had edamame.”

Alex: “Don’t talk about my momma like that.”

Me: "I said edamame. Not excessive amounts of cheese!"

Carrie: "Hey, is ER over yet?”

Me: “It’s never over in my soul.”

Carrie: “Do not share that with humans."

Because when laying in this bed, checking your face out in the mirror should be your number one concern.

Anderson Hearts Jewel


And so I love Anderson Cooper! I've always been a Jewel freak, but people think I am so enamored with her personal story because I have been so enamored with her music. And I can definitely announce that I can and do separate the two. Anderson Cooper has Jewel share some of her life HERE.

For more on her noble cause of providing everyone with clean drinking water, all information can be found HERE.


And for the most interesting read, check out how Jewel makes a lifetime's worth of struggle and success fit into a succinct synopsis. Full story HERE.

At spring break all kids had to leave the campus. But I couldn’t afford to get to Alaska, so I decided to learn 4 chords on the guitar (my dad had always played guitar, not me) and get on a train in Detroit to busk my way across the country. I made up lyrics about what I saw traveling. It took several days to sing my way across the country- earning my ticket money one street corner at a time when the train stopped.

Alex: “In 60 years, you will be really, really old."

Julia: “No, I don’t want to live that old. I refuse to live past 77, or else I’m gonna kill myself.”

OXO Spokesperson Contest


So, there's this OXO contest going on right now, through December 3rd, 2009, and anyone interested in winning a number of prizes, as well as the chance to be a chosen spokesperson for OXO videos online. My mom actually made the above video with no direction, this was her first shot and when I told her she had to speak for 30 to 90 seconds, she was disappointed to have to keep the "Glove Chatter" so short.

There's nothing like some "heartwarming" to get me in the mood for Thanksgiving festivities.

This is why I don't go out. 3 hours out equals four hours of cleaning. And ten years off my life.

Quote Of The Day


Me: “Cougartown is good, too.”

Jordan: “What’s that? Motorboat? Moofin Town?”

As you get older, you supposedly start noticing more growths, aches and pains. Marley's no exception. In the top photo, you can see a yorkie's face jutting out from the side of her neck. In the bottom photo, almost a full yorkie is growing from her rear. The vet bills are really adding up.

Quote Of The Day


Maury: “Since I had that fire in my kitchen, I haven’t been able to properly install my new range hood. I am thinking it might be because the directions have only one picture and it’s of a guy smiling next to an already installed hood.”

Me: “Interesting theory.”

"Strike A Pose"
The thing that is really disturbing me right about now is that I haven't the slightest clue where this picture is from, when or where it was taken... nothing. I don't know those sheets, or that doorway. Getting old is great!

Quote Of The Day


Alex: “Yeah, I’m not a good person and I don’t pride myself on being a good person, so it's okay.”

People of Walmart

It's everywhere- this reasonable recent phenomenon- The People Of Walmart. Having visited West Virginia, where the entire town was based around the mecca of all shopping needs, the local Walmart. That is not to say I liken where I was in West Virginia to what is shown on this website. It's just that I can see the possibilities, if you will... Here are some great shots to get you hooked:




When Fashion Meets Finance


My stepbrother Danny made it into the New York Times. I can't wait for him to make it in again. I can see the headlines now: "Generous lottery winner splits his earnings with everyone in his family, giving the largest proceeds to his stepsister and other worth charity's." More realistically, for anyone that knows him, he got in for being at a "Fashion Meets Finance" party. No shocker there!


(He's the one with the green glasses.)

Yet another feral cat! But I fell in love with her while waiting in my car, because she kept tapping the water on the ground making what looked like a tiny fence ripple. I only caught a still shot.

Jordan: "They backed out of a Yankee/Red Sox game? What kind of a fascist world do I live in?"

*Obviously this is a previous quote, since last night the Yankees won the 2009 World Series Championship. May I just say that Phillies fans were disappointing? So negative and nasty. And also, New York is your Daddy.

Tupac's Alive- Again, or Still?


A long time ago, a comedian wrote this sentiment for a show or their own performance, but the thought was basically something like, "I have proof Tupac's not dead, because he comes out with a new album every year." Same thing with Biggie. I remember when my world was rocked with their deaths. I felt cheated and immensely saddened. But the whole grieving process never took place. Even now, over thirteen years later, there are new Tupac specials on TV. How could I miss someone who has never gone away?

Here's the info. if anyone's interested:

Every Wednesday on Fuse is a Hip Hop Invasion!

There's something about this picture, the desire to kill in the eyes of this miniature murderer that I really enjoy.

After finding out someone really intelligent, like myself, used oil by the pool:

Alex: “You don’t ever use oil in the sun! You know what you use oil for? Cooking. But you know that now, since that's exactly what you did."
