HA HA HA...

WHILE LOOKING UP THE YOUTUBE FOR MY POST BELOW WHERE I MENTIONED ALEXIS, I FOUND THIS CLIP AND ALMOST PEED MY PANTS!

PLEASE ENJOY...

TYPICAL...

I thought I would enlighten y'all with two random, yet quite typical events of yesterday...

1. I walked around ALL DAY yesterday wearing a new blue sweater from the Mothership and feeling fine about my wardrobe choices for the day. It was around 6pm and I was putting gas in my car when I caught a glance of myself in the car window. What did I see?? I saw the HUGE tag on the OUTSIDE of my sweater. Obviously it had been there all day long just hanging out wanting all who came in contact with it to know where it was purchased. I guess I must have subconsciously wanted to wear my sweater inside out for the day just to mix things up a little. Yeah. So I was pleased.

2. I came home right after the above experience and began doing the normal, which included looking for the remote control to my TV which, by the way, is completely necessary in the event I want to adjust the volume or heaven forbid, change the channel!! I actually can do neither of these things without the remote as my TV does not have anything but a power button and DVD player on the exterior of its pretty flat frame. I began to get angry about my inability to find said remote towards the end of the hour, and even accused the dogs of somehow hiding it as punishment for being gone all day. As American Idol approached, and with 5 minutes or less to spare, my absolutely irate self reached the boiling point. I was really mad. Obviously significantly worse things were going in the world, but I JUST wanted the damn remote I had spent two hours looking for. Two hours. Two. About this time my cell phone rang and I reached in my purse to get it. What did I find instead?? Yep. You guessed it. The FREAKING remote.

My theory? The remote saw the tag on the outside of my sweater and not to be outdone, jumped into my purse to spend the day with me as well. Why not?

If you were a tag inside of a sweater would you not rise up and revolt on behalf of all your tag-friends tired of always being hidden when all you want to do is show your face?

And if you were a remote control wouldn't you want out of the house every now and then?

Yeah. I think so too.

Please enjoy the Jerry O'Connell spoof of TC (He shouldn't be the only one who gets to use all the acronyms) below.



PS- If TMZ just screwed up my favorite Idol contestant of the week's chances with this story I'm pulling an Alexis. Seriously.

Happy Friday!!!

Good morning darlings!! Hope your Friday is treating you well!! Something about Friday just makes me happy. It's the sheer knowledge that I won't be here tomorrow that puts a smile on my face and some pep in my step. So, Alexis doesn't need to provide me with my necessary mojo today...

So, last night I was sitting on my couch eating my 1 point soup when Nelson just lifted his little leg and peed... while staring right at me. I think I even caught a smirk on his face. Little Bastard! He is SOOOO lucky he's cute! So I did my best to punish him because I was furious about this. The problem is that when I punish 1 dog the other 2 go into a panic thinking they're in trouble too. Thatcher starts smiling, Reagan starts barking, and its all out pandemonium. I eventually made Nelson go on the back porch as punishment. I know this doesn't sound bad, but it was really cold and dark and the little man gets scared. I felt bad after about it after about 5 minutes but held out until the 10 minute mark. Then we had a discussion where I attempted to explain that "mommy isn't doing this because I don't love you... mommy is doing this because I do." I think he missed the point entirely and was just happy to be inside. But the nerve of this 11 pound little menace to just throw his leg up and pee while I was looking at him still makes me irate. If I had the money I would invest in some of these gadgets they have where they claim you can talk to your dog and then understand what your dog is saying. I already have a pretty good idea of what mine are saying, and I'm pretty sure it involves a detailed plan to drive mommy mad.

Anyway, so there is apparently some sort of conspiracy out there that Katie Holmes did not actually run the New York City Marathon in it's entirety. I am not sure how one gets to the bottom of this, so I am asking my friend Erin to click on this link and specifically look at some of the comments, since she is the only person I know who has actually run this marathon. This is quite the conspiracy I learned last night, and while I clicked on several links from this link, I just couldn't decipher the "technological chip" and "split time" lingo they were throwing around. Sounds like a fun little conspiracy theory, though. This of course is coming from an SP (Suppressive Person). Ha Ha!!

Also read where Brody Jenner denied making out with Paris Hilton and then said that he did have a girlfriend, and "NO her name is not Lauren Conrad" -does he have to be so rude about it?? I don't want to have to remove him from my "list" but if he starts being mean to Lauren I won't have a choice!

A new entry into the Dad's Hall of Shame occurred when a man physically forced his son to wear a Packers Jersey last weekend by tying him down and taping him to a chair. To the kids mom who turned the dad in, and to this little boy I say... GO GIANTS!!

It appears that a Nevada Judge dismissed the lawsuit that would have prevented participation in the Nevada Caucuses. THANK GOODNESS!! This means that even if Obama loses, he will have lost fairly. This news apparently upset ole Billy a little as he went off on a reporter about it. Also before you click on that link, please note that because the Caucuses that are held in this particular county which contains Las Vegas have significantly more people in it, they are given additional points for their Caucus winner. They are given 5 extra points for their candidate of choice. This is, of course, because they outnumber those participating in the more rural Nevada counties 5 to 1. Makes sense, and was no problem at all before. I'd like to again note that all parties were gung-ho for these Casino Caucuses before one candidate was endorsed by the Union containing the majority of the workers who would be participating, and then the lawsuit came about to prevent their participation. You gotta love them politics!!

So, has anybody else out there seen that show on A & E called "Paranormal State"? Well it is simply the most frightening show on television. I watched the first episode with Brad and then haven't been able to get the nerve up to watch anymore of them. I am literally petrified to watch anymore of them. The one I saw was about a little boy and it was like the 6th Sense for real. I've got goose bumps even thinking about it!!!

What a great idea to have Lindsay Lohan serve 2 days of community service at a morgue!! Wonder if she could bring Britney along for the life lesson??

OK... SO I SAVED THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOR LAST!! Now, nobody go and get your hopes up, but it appears that the writers may have reached a "tentative" agreement and may begin writing again soon!! This of course, means that I will live after all!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!

As a total BONUS, my movie comes out today!! Now even though this is truly my story on film, I was sadly unable to attend the premiere, but am definitely going to see this over the weekend and am SO excited!!!

I couldn't step on the scale this morning, so I will post my week 2 results either after my lunch break or after work!! Talk to you then sweet-peas!!

VICTORIOUS

MY FRIEND AMY JUST PROVIDED ME WITH SOME INSPIRATION FROM ALEXIS THAT WILL SURELY GIVE ME MY SO-NEEDED PICK ME UP TODAY AND HELP ME BE VICTORIOUS...



ALWAYS VICTORIOUS...

xoxo,
baxter

I'M STARTING A NEW CAREER...

OMG... I am SO excited!! I think I might FINALLY know what I am going to do for a living!! I hope everyone can be happy for me and supportive throughout this process. I am very determined to be victorious.


I AM GOING INTO ACTRESSING!! Yep... that's right! I am so hoping to knock people onto their feet. Alexis from American Idol has inspired me to be victorious in this pursuit, and I fully believe that I will be.


Victorious. Always Victorious.


Anyway, as far as American Idol was concerned, it felt a little like a bad vacation for the first 30 minutes but then when Alexis arrived all was right with the "Idol" world again. I was surprised at how nice the Judges were this time. Especially Simon! When they walked that girl named Tempestt outside after she didn't make it I thought he was a really nice guy. There were others who didn't make it through for obvious reasons, but I'm not going to dignify Chest-Hair Man, or Princess Leia at this point.


There were a few people I loved who got through to the next round too, but of course I cant remember their names right now. All I remember is Alexis, and that she is going into actressing to be victorious. I can't get past that. I've told 2 people already of my plans to follow Alexis' career path...


On the political front, KUDOS to John Edwards, who I thought won the debate last night. Wouldn't it turn this thing into a FASCINATING CIRCUS if John Edwards won South Carolina?? I thought that Obama & Billary were far too busy focusing on each other and working to be "politically correct" last night to notice that Edwards was beating them...


I would like to add that this is not a very good way to suppress votes in Nevada... especially when everyone knows about it. I find it ironic that the Clinton's were all for the exception to let the caucuses in Nevada occur inside the Casino's in Clark County, where Las Vegas is, since that was the only way to ensure minority voters could participate back in March when it was approved and passed. But then, lo and behold the Culinary Worker's Union, who make up almost the majority of those who would be participating in these Casino Caucuses endorsed Obama instead of Clinton, and now their ability to participate simply must be stopped!!


Early voting starts today in Tennessee, for anybody who might be interested in fighting off the crowds and the people standing outside with their supporters shirts on asking for your vote. It lasts through January 26th.


In really SAD news, actor Brad Renfro from Knoxville died yesterday at age 25. He starred in the "Client" ages ago, and if I am not mistaken was the "Grand Marshall" of one UT's Homecoming Parade's while I was a student... am I remembering this correctly?? Regardless, it's very sad.


I was distraught this morning when I found out this news, as I had so been planning a future with Matthew...


In creepy father news, Jessica Simpson's Dad is rumored to have sold out his daughter and her QB boyfriends plans to vacation in Mexico the week before Dallas lost to the Giants, thus cementing that the "Jessica Jinx" will follow her around until next season. I read that he tipped photogs off to when the private plane was leaving, and to where the couple was staying in Mexico, so he could get a share of the profit from the pictures. I would probably put this story on the not-credible side of things except for the fact that this creepshow has been selling out his daughters for years, and probably should have been cited by name in Nick & Jessica's divorce papers.


Nashville girls, you missed a glorious sight the other night when Ashley Judd's handsome hubby chased an intruder on foot and then by car in his boxer shorts in Nashville. We always hear about these awesome spectator events after they have happened...


On the diet front, why is it that I can eat well beyond any number of "points" when NOT dieting, but that since I've been on weight watchers I have only reached my daily points minimum twice... and never gone over!?!? I feel like I would literally have to be eating all day long to meet my points for the day. And I'm not a snacker, not big on eating more than one meal a day kinda-girl. Am I supposed to change all that to meet my points? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose if I am eating when I am NOT hungry? Right now, I am drinking Orange Juice, which I HATE because it has empty calories in it that I can use for points... is that ridiculous or can anybody else relate here??


ANYWHO, HAPPY WEDNESDAY FOLKS!! AND BE CAREFUL... WE'RE EXPECTING SNOW!!!

PS- has anyone noticed how attractive Mitt Romney's sons are? That might be the only good thing about him staying in the race ;-)
