No, I'm not referring to the new show on MTV starring Wilmer "Fez" Valderrama in which people insult each other for a half hour...and if you haven't seen it, don't bother.
What I am wondering is what are you both doing for your moms for Mother's day in a couple weeks? I ordered my mom an apron from Anthropologie, the store in Vegas where I bought myself an apron (like mother, like daughter, whatever). It's super cute and I'm pretty excited about it. I have slacked off for a while for Mother's/Father's day and this year I'm going to do better. I already bought my dad a book by an author he likes. I'm basically the best daughter my parents ever had.

Random Thoughts
Based on the most recent pictures I have seen, I think Prince Harry has far surpassed Prince William in looks. Prince William took an unfortunate turn towards his father's genes over the last year or so, and I'm almost certain that he is already balding.
My favorite person on 8th and Ocean is definitely Suzy, one of the booking agents. She's always quite sassy and last night she said "To boob or not to boob?" in response to the news about Kelly cancelling her boob job. That's just plain funny.
I was told by the seamstress I went to that I had great shoulders. It made me incredibly uncomfortable.
I was craving a Subway sandwich today so I went to the brand spankin' new Wally World here in Pueblo West to get one. The bread was hard and cold. I was not satisfied.

Watch out for Sloane!
Our dogs can be famous! Ellen is accepting pictures of people's pets as part of her "Best in Show" show coming up. Paris Hilton will be a guest and Tinkerbell will be joining her. I sent in a picture of Sloane that we took while she was getting a bath. I hope they use it on the show! I encourage each of you to send in pics of your pooches to Ellen on her website: http://ellen.warnerbros.com/.

Dancing Nancies
And by nancies, I mean old people. On Friday night the husband and I attended a gala for the American Cancer Society. Since we live in a strange town where we don't know anyone, we pretty much just sat at our table and commented on the various crazies that were in attendance... which brings me to this post. A pretty good band started playing after dinner, but I didn't think anyone would dance. The average age at this event was probably 50. Oh was I wrong! Tons of people started dancing and I just wanted to share with you some of our favorites:
The How Low Can You Go Woman decided to get as low to the floor as humanly possible no matter what the song. She obviously does yoga and wanted to show off her skills. She was pretty short though, which makes her feats less impressive.
The Loose Tie Guy not only loosened his tie the minute the band started, but also untucked his shirt and yes, took off his socks. At least we hope he took off his socks as opposed to coming to the event sockless. Anyway, he was probably in his late thirties and he had a hell of a time.
The Gumby Man was a short man in his late fifties, early sixties probably. He enjoyed the bend over move, where he literally bent his entire body over as if he wanted to touch his toes. He did this move really fast and really often and really, I can't figure out why.
And finally, The Amazon Lady was probably in her sixties. She was taller than everyone on the dance floor, but it wasn't her height that drew us to her. It was her crazy dance moves that I can't even describe and even more so, her outfit for the evening. She wore a beige pant suit with a jacket that she probably stole from Dorothy (of Golden Girls fame), dyed beige and thought "hey, this looks fab!"
Overall, it was a fantastic evening for people watching and we enjoyed ourselves more than we thought we would. If I had known there were going to be so many dancing nancies, I definitely would have taken a camera.

The G: What's Left of Nick Lachey
An update on our favorite half of the "divorcees." Tune in at any one of the several viewing times to watch Nick badmouth Jessica or sing some tender ballads about heartache. He'll probably cry. Then, they'll air his new making the video. I know I'll be watching!!
MTV SPECIAL - Nick Lachey: What's Left Of Me
A lot has happened to Nick Lachey in the last year. For the first time on TV, Nick speaks and sings from the heart as he gets ready to release his new, very personal, solo record. This is probably the last shot Nick has at a successful solo career and he knows it. We follow Nick on his first radio promo tour for his first single, as he steps out with his music into the public eye. The radio tour is the back drop for the special, but the heart and focus of it is Nick speaking in a very honest and frank way about the music, the lyrics, and his life. We shoot Nick in very intimate and conversational "one on one" sit downs in New York, Cincinnati, and Los Angeles, as he travels from city to city on this 10 city radio tour. These settings allow us to capture Nick being very candid and raw as steps out into the public light for the first time.with his music and his life. In addition to these conversations with Nick, we will also focus on three songs from the album. The songs that will be highlighted are: "What's Left Of Me" (the first single), "I Can't Hate You Anymore" and "Resolution" (last track on his album). These three songs represent what Nick has been going through emotionally since the break-up of his marriage, ending with his own personal resolve. "What's Left Of Me will be presented using recording sessions, B-Roll, and new performance footage. Nick plays the track "I Can't Hate You Anymore" for the first time for his father in a very emotional moment at his home in Cincinnati. The show concludes with Nick's live TV debut performance of the song "Resolution". This song was shot with Nick "live" in the studio with just a piano accompaniment exclusively for this special.

Arm Hater?
A student walked into the classroom yesterday wearing the following: khaki ankle pants, ribbed tank top and down vest complete with fur collar. This didn't make sense to me. Is she hot or cold or what? Has she no regard for the warmth and well-being of her own arms? I believe that down vests should only be worn with a long sleeve shirt. If it's cold enough to require down (and a fur collar, mind you), it's cold enough to require long sleeves, right? I would have even excused her for wearing a t-shirt though, due to the fact that she is young and makes stupid fashion decisions. However, there is no excuse for a tank top with a down vest. I'm too concerned about her top half to even bother with the absurdity of her pants.
PS: I feel okay about posting comments about students' fashion choices. This is mainly because I would gladly look back at pictures from when I was in high school and make fun of myself.

My crazy neighbor
Eric and I live next door to this crazy old man named Jim. On the day that we moved in we met him and he proceeded to talk to us while we were moving heavy furniture inside. I was annoyed with Jim right away. During this past year, Jim has continued to astounded us with just how weird he can be. For one thing, every time we see him he tries to talk to us about how the apartment community is full of weirdos. Newsflash: we live next door to you, we KNOW! And one day he told us that one of our other neighbors was high and that he didn't want to be around people like that. To which Eric and I both thought to ourselves, "Perhaps you should leave??" But the weirdest thing that Jim does is post signs on his apartment door. I think there have been a total of 3 or 4 and every time it's something crazy. To illustrate my point, I took a picture of the sign that he posted yesterday. Behold...
In case you can't ready what it says:
BE A LEADER.
BE AN INNOVATOR!
BE A QUITTER!
DON'T SMOKE.
DON'T LITTER.
And be truly free.
It's possibly the most inspirational sign I've ever read.

Our blog is slowly dying
Poor little bloggie. No one likes it anymore. Here it is, just waiting for cool posts and fun pictures (thanks, goldies) and we're giving it the deuce! Personally, I try to think of something every day to write about and I have a hard time. What's the deal? I know I'm not TOTALLY boring.
This reminds me of our Vegas trip when everyone thought we were mad or sad about something. It's like people look at our blog and say, "cheer up, it's not so bad." Even though we are perfectly content about our lives, just not projecting it with huge smiles or roaring laughter. My thought is that in order to save the blog, we are going to have to put on our happy faces and try to think of little things to post about. Because I know I am curious to know about the minutia that happens in every day life that may give me something to chuckle about. And that's why I'm going to start now:
CELEBRITY LOOKALIKE SIGHTING: WHOOPI GOLDBERG
I have spotted a Whoopi lookalike twice this week. She rides the same bus as me in the mornings sometimes. She has dreads and wears funny silver shoes and kind of dresses like a bag lady. That's basically Whoppi in a nutshell. I'll try and get a picture.
