Six Things You Need to Know

Or not.  I was tagged by my new bloggy friend who live like 5 minutes from me, but we have yet to meet.....  SWIRL GIRL

Six Quirky Things About Me.....

I believe in my heart of hearts that:

1.  My term "Crackliture" will end up in some kind of dictionary

2.  Heather and I will end up on Oprah.  

3.  Lula's Libby and my boy will end up married.

4.  I dislike cats.  Immensely.  

5.  Meditation just might be me for me.

6. I wish I was a better cook.  This is a huge help!

And there you have it.  Random crap about me.  Yippy.

I tag:  Tara, Mrs. S, Jenn, Carabee, Ann (the nice one), Z's Mom and Tinabean1988

Now go post 6 random things about you!

Okay, I will admit it is probably the wine cooler I just swigged ... but ... I just read # 3 as..

'Lula's cat and my boy will end up married.'

Time for bed, methinks..

I'm with Jennifer P! WHEN you guys make it on Oprah, make sure she lets us all come too and that it's the fave things episode! :-)

I'm all for y'all being on Oprah. But what I'd really rather see is the 3 of us on E! or TMZ...at the "Twilight" premiere. 'Cause that would trump Oprah anyday in my book. Oh, but yes it would.

Speaking of Twilight and Crackliture (yes, it better make Webster's one day!) I am rereading our beloved novel. Sigh...

p.s. I'll have "R" grandchildren one day. We'll share 'em and dress 'em up and cuddle 'em to bits. Then send 'em back to their parents when we need a break.

I despise cats too, and when you and Heather are on Oprah, this will be the only time I will watch her show because I can't stand her either (silence as America gasps!). Yep, not an O fan at all!

Really, all you kitty haters? Well, I guess we can all still be friends...that is, if you can stand it when I am an old cat lady with twenty-three cats living with me in my 600-square-foot apartment.

Please get me a ticket for that Oprah show!

I always dreamed of being on Oprah! How fun would that be? I agree with the favorite things show, that would rock!

#1- cats suck baby's breath out of their heads....don't trust 'em a bit.

#2- when you are on Oprah...I'll drive

#3- 5 minutes away - what are we waiting for?? My bar or yours?

and - check out my new look! I am so fancy now, I can 'be seen' in public!

The others are good, but......
You dislike cats? Immensely? Seriously? No really Seriously?

What is there to dislike? They are soft to touch, purring is their voice of love, they pee/poo in their place, they have funny personalities, they love to be with their people.

They don't bark incessantly, chew things up, have accidents, ruin the grass, bite through skin which then requires emergency rooms and stitches.

Cat person here, obviously, but I do have 3 of each. Perhaps a good meditation on cats would be helpful to open your mind and heart. :)

Also, check out Beyond Salmon at blogspot for great cooking ideas.

I want to go on Oprah too! Just as an audience member would be fine.

I'm not a cat person either. Putting it mildly.

I too dislike cats. I'm a Leo, so this poses a problem for my self-esteem, but I carry on regardless.

I do hope you guys end up on Oprah. As for crackliture, I'm still trying to figure that one out. Funny you should mention it, b/c I was just thinking about it tonight as I made dinner (I'm completely and totally serious). I was thinking, 'does she mean because it's so good it's like the crack of literature?' Clearly I need to read your archives. I'll get around to it, eventually!

Cat hater here... I believe that cats are possessed by the souls of people who are just to strange to go to heaven or hell...freakish cosmic misfits.

Heather said…
Oh we so totally need to get SITS on Oprah! I wonder if there's a place to submit ideas? I'd totally submit you and Heather (and the rest of us SITStas for the audience, of course)!

Cheers!

I have no doubt the two of you will end up on Oprah one day too. You two are destined for greatness.

When you guys end up on Oprah, which I think you will too, make sure the entire audience is filled with SITSistas!! That would be SO fun.

You know, I should have read the other comments before I commented, because I think I repeated something that had been said plenty of times. oops.

When I first read crackliture on SITS I actually googled it to see what it meant.....
Oprah? What about Chelsea Lately!
I love her and her little Chewie guy! I could so see you all on that show....Do you want me to email her? I totally will...

I agree; I think you will be on the Oprah Show. If you make it to the favorite things show, will you save something for me?! (I know; you meant as GUESTS, and so did I! :)

Dear Mrs. R.,
I am officially retracting my dowry for the match between your son and my eldest daughter. You must not need a vintage red convertible Porsche. I understand.
All the best,
Mrs. B.

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin...

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa...
