My last blog got really long so i spread it out
updates 2
#2 on September 12, I wrote about using tee tree oil to help alleviate pimples. I wasn’t sure if it would work but I said that, as a person who has struggled with blemishes for years, I’d try almost anything. Well the good news is that, if you use the concoction on a cotton ball [...]
Read moreupdates
So I realized while looking back over my blogs that there are things that should be updated from old stories. Maybe nobody cares but I figured I owe follow ups just in case even one person is wondering about how things have progressed. So for a few days I’ll do just that.

Cookie idea for your Holiday pleasure
It is a Christmas Tradition in our house to make a ton of cookies and give them out to our loved ones. I have to admit- and I don’t care if I sound conceded- my mother makes the most amazing cookies, some of her recipes have been past down for generations while others are newer [...]

So today it was time for holiday decorating. It seems like an easy enough job but first we had to do some winter time cleaning and preparation. I woke up by mother was taking apart the storage room. After we did that it, my friend and I went to winterize the air conditioners and I [...]

A cop was on his horse when a little girl on her new shiny

the girl a $5

PArt 2: All Hell breaks loose
After giving the boys their popcorn, I went back into the kitchen to rinse the remaining pots and pans that had been soaking. The kitchen smelt like burnt popcorn, though none of the kernels had looked black, so I thought nothing of it. I turned around and there was the little three year old asking [...]

I remember reading Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day when I was a child. Truth be told I can’t tell you what it was that made him have that day, but Alexander should’ve been with me and my friend last night.
It was just a typical night of babysitting except that [...]
(Brook) White Christmas
I figured that since I did an update on Michael Johns yesterday that I would relay how another former idol contestant is doing as well. Brook White, the girl I once called the human incarnation of a Care Bear, is currently taking some well deserved time off after an exhausting year both during and post-Idol. [...]

Some days getting up at 530 am is harder than others. Sometimes I can fall asleep early the night before and then, with the assistance of several cups of coffee, I make it through the day like it is any other. Today is, so far at least, one of the hard ones.
So I woke [...]
Thanksgiving
Recent events and losses aside, I really am a thankful person. In fact, if loss is good for anything it is that it becomes a reminder to appreciate what you do have.
Yes I have lost people close to me throughout my life, and yes I wish that they could be with me celebrating the [...]

Cold blues
It happens every year, but it never gets any better. I know that everyone has season they like and seasons they’d rather do without but I cannot stand the cold. It’s why I stare, almost in disbelief at my friends (who also hate the cold by the way) when they say they love the Fall. [...]

You’ll be the center of attention everyday this season

Thanking David Cook
Tonight I managed to get into the Hard Rock Café to see David Cook’s exclusive performance for the first something-hundred people to buy his album, and when autograph time came I figured I found a chance to thank him for helping me through my aunt’s illness with his music. As I neared the table I [...]

update on my aunt
I wish I could tell you that a miracle happened. I want, more than anything else, to be able to say that all the prayer chains and well wishes have caused something science can’t explain to have happened. This is what I want, but it is not what is true.

Taylor Swift is bitter
I actually don’t know much about the teenaged country star. I know her mostly because she was in a video or two with the Jonas Brothers and also, she dated Joe Jonas. Recently the two broke up and last week Swift talked with E! News’ Ryan Seacrest (and anyone else who would listen really) and [...]

I know this is going to sound really childish but I’m sitting here watching It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Perhaps worse than the fact that I am watching the program is that for almost the entire month I’ve been wondering when it is going to air.

Saturday parties part 2
So three hours after the birthday party ended, I had showered, shaved, washed and styled my hair, squeezed into spanx to make me look awesome in a red velvet mini-dress, splattered on my makeup, and was out the door and on my way to my cousin’s engagement party.
When I arrived to the venue, the [...]
Saturday parties part one
Yesterday morning I did a Birthday party. As a babysitter with close relationships with my clients there are times when I am hired to be there for a birthday party. I suppose you could say I’m the Entertainment, but I guess the actual description would be assistant child wrangler. Anyway so yesterday from 12:30 – [...]

On July 7, 1952 the term “anchor” was coined to describe Cronkite’s role at both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions, which marked the first nationally televised convention coverage. Cronkite anchored the network’s coverage of the 1952 presidential election. By the 1956 convention Cronkite was as well-known as the candidates.
CBS News decided to replace him [...]

He entered broadcasting as a radio announcer for WKY in Oklahoma.

Under the broadcast name “Walter Wilcox.” Radio stations at the time did not want people to use their [...]

Eighty-eight years before Larry King introduced him on his pre-presidential election show (October 29, 2004) as the legendary journalist and old friend; a great man in the history of broadcast journalists, and maybe the most revered ever to go on camera, Cronkite was born in St. Joseph Missouri on November 4, 1916 to his dentist [...]

Not ready to say Goodbye to The Stadium
The thing is I wasn’t going to get caught up in all the hoopla that surrounded moving across a street. I know that Yankee Stadium is a legendary, wondrous place but if the city could knock it down and bulldoze it, like it was nothing more than an old decrepit house, why should I care. [...]

VP palin
I remember when the show, The View, first premiered, oh gosh what is it now 12 years ago, people always mocked Star Jones because it seemed whenever applicable (and sometimes when it wasn’t) she would mention that she was a lawyer. Funny though it was, I think she has a rival for the WAY TOO [...]

i wrote this poem right after the attack 7 years ago, meaning i was 15 years old, so give me some slack if it sounds babyish.
The Heart of America
Proudly America stood as a symbol of Freedom and PrideBut after 9-11 our innocence had died.
This was done with hate by an evil mastermindMeant to [...]
John Edwards
I know that politicians will philander. It’s rampant right now, has existed through history, and is almost a staple of the world. It normally doesn’t bother me. I feel bad for the wives obviously, but other than that, it’s almost politics as usual. However the John Edwards thing bothers me.
Maybe it’s the fact that [...]

Comfortably Numb
So what would happen if nature caused havoc visible in our back yard instead of on the TV?

I’m not going to lie, I’m not happy that Hillary Clinton lost. I liked her as a candidate and more than that, as a woman, she made me proud. I was proud that she never gave up; I think that’s a good quality for a president. It was nice that she could roll with the [...]
Double Standard much?
Last week Hillary Clinton said that she would not drop out of the Presidential race because you never know what may happen, sighting the fact that Robert Kennedy was murdered in June. This led to a media uproar because apparently this was a death threat made to Barack Obama. It made headlines; I admit it [...]
Read moreAnd now the next step
As a card carrying fag hag, and a graduate of a one of the most liberal universities in the USA, it is my belief that we are all created equal and therefore being born a straight woman shouldn’t entitle me to any rights that are not universal. It is in this spirit that I [...]
