Well this week seemed extraordinarily long. I was a little busy with errands and carting my mom around to various doctors and shopping adventures but oh well, one of the duties I must take on since I am currently jobless. But once I get a job that won't be an issue any more and I will probably kind of miss all the extra time I have been able to spend with my family, Godchildren and friends.  The job market is looking a little upward this month. IDK if it because of the upcoming holidays or just a good month but I found some potentials last night (with B-Rizzle's help) and hopefully I will hear back and at least get some much needed interviews under my belt if anything.

Ok...I must tell the world that Paula Deen is grating my nerves again! Not only am I sickened at the thought of her trying to sell her two 2lb. trays of her tasteless mac & cheese for almost forty freaking dollars on QVC.  She has also let her hubby, Michael, join the bandwagon by selling coffee aptly named Paula Deen & Captain Michael Flavored Coffee, it also features his grizzly mug on the logo. And to make matters worse.... I woke up this morning to the sounds of her sons, Jamie and Bobby, on a radio advertisement to come visit The Lady & Sons. Ugh... the accent...the act... the uuugghhh of it all! I just can't take seeing her or hearing her anymore for a long, long time. How much longer will this go on? Maybe I wouldn't be so aggravated if it wasn't in my area. But Paula does not act like any other Savannian I have ever known. We aren't all sickening and put on fake accents or God-awful laughs (ok well maybe we do have some strange laughs) and plaster our faces on any and every possible place and thing and try to make bank on food that isn't truly Southern in the first place.

Enough about the wretched Mrs. Deen... read more about my day here...

Current Mood: content

Current Thought: I can't quite put into words all the random thoughts running through my racing mind at the moment but I can tell you that I thought long and hard on how to jot all of that down in here without a dozen or more backnotes so I am not even going to try that right now.... but one thing is for sure and it is something that I don't say often enough and it feels pretty damn good to say it at this very moment and that is:

Current Favorite Food: Well ok, it's technically a candy but c'mon...give a girl a break.... favorite candy of the day week eh....whenever is:

Yesss yes ladies... Smarties! And with one roll being only 25 calories, no fat and 6 carbs.... I might just live off Smarties and herbal tea. lol ok... really. not really. But it sure did sound good ;)

Also, did you know... Smarties® brand has many other tasty products like Love Hearts, Candy Money, Tropical Smarties®, X-TREME Sour Smarties®, Bubble Gum Smarties®, Smarties® Double Lollies, Smarties® Pops, Smarties® Mega Lollies and Candy Lipsticks?

haha... I didn't either! ;) But I so gotta find these so-called Smartie Pops!

Currently Watching: It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, my second favorite Halloween cartoon. My first, of course, being Garfield's Halloween Adventure which never airs on TV but is such a goodie. Who doesn't love a little Garfield? I love the damn cartoon! I rented it from Blockbuster and am going to watch it with Lil Man sometime this week. And I have decided to share it here as well just to keep you occupied for all of 22 minutes, especially if your life is half as boring as mine lol (aww my boring life)

Anywho... Ladies and Gent's, I present to you Garfield's Halloween Adventure!Enjoy!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

And while on the subject of TV... did any of you catch the Dancing With The Stars Hip Hop Dance last night? Mildly entertaining to say the least. I have to give it to Chloris Leachman. Geez.. you can't help but love her. She got voted off tonight but I mean it was just a matter of time anyhow. But I am posting the Hip Hop Dance for those of you who missed it....

Ok..ok... enough excitement for one night... I'm off to check on other things and maybe play a little Spirit Slots for a while....hey! the tokens are being donated to charity...it's for charity! so there! :P

Idol's Maroulis Forgot the Lyrics!

Constatine Maroulis from American Idol (Season 4) appeared on FOX's Don’t Forget the Lyrics tonight for the charity Broadway Cares. First off, I don’t really care for many of the Idols but he totally tops the list… him and Chris Daughtry both appear make me ill.   But watching Maroulis on tonight’s episode was almost humorous. He didn’t know any of the songs, some of which are classic songs that 90% of the population should know or at least be able to keep in tune with. Wayne Brady, the host, had to help him out on each and every song.

The first song was in the category of Rock, his choices were between Meatloaf’s Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad or Run To You by Bryan Adams.  He goofed on the ending and Wayne practically told him what the correct lyrics should be.

The second song  he chose was The Temptations’ Get Ready from the Motown category and he was so off beat even I was confused.   Wayne had to give him a subliminal message of the correct answer.

Then on the third song,  he chose Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. He chose the band with such confirmation but soon let America down with that horrific voice and lack of ability to carry a decent note.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I can barely hold a note myself but you don’t see me on national television pretending I can.

As I was ranting this to blog, he was singing Elton John’s Your Song. He just barely got the words right but was off key for a majority of the song.  Of all the songs tonight, Elton’s was by far the best from Maroulis but that isn’t really saying all that much. Wayne Brady even comments about they have been "horsing around" up til now and practically telling Maroulis to get with the friggin' program.

And now for his final song, he chose (I just) Died In Your Arms Tonight by Cutting Crew. The lyrics were:

to which he chose “of kiss I couldn’t walk away.” Turns out the correct words are “...should’ve walked away.”  So out goes Maroulis with $25,000 guaranteed cash for his charity. YAY for the charity… BOO for Maroulis. For someone who walks and talks like a rockstar, he sure can’t back it up… which honestly comes as no surprise to me.

In other news...

MillerCoors says Goodbye to Zima! which really surprised me considering that I thought Zima had been a thing of the past for sometime now.

The Smurfs turn 50! Which reminds me that I need to buy the box set for Lil Man. He loves classic cartoons, especially Tom & Jerry and The Flinstones.

Hey Ya'll! On the next Paula's Party (Oct. 25, 8pm, Food Network), Paula Deen throws a Halloween party with Richard Simmons making baked pumpkin ziti. The show will also feature Ana Gasteyer of SNL fame bakes ooey gooey pumpkin cakes and Disney's Cory in the House star Kyle Massey makes spicy Vampire Dip.
