MJ Or Coconut Shrimp.

C'mon we all knew that coconut shrimp would win out over Michael Jackson. And Besides I am done with all of that. I am glad I've held true to my no TMZ/celeb gossip shows. I am sick of hearing about MJ just from the real news. But I did have one of those moments I desired (from my previous blog), I was the last person to know about MJ. I literally called everyone in my immediate calling circle and every last one of them was like 'yeah, I heard, you didn't know?' I was driving to the grocery store and I heard it on the radio and since I don't own a cell phone (I know, I know time to join the 90's) I wanted to tell people in the grocery store, but I held back.

SO on to coconut shrimp. It is awesome and I am excited to have some tonight... I guess there is not much to blog about on the topic of coconut shrimp.

The other day I ordered pizza for supper, and the pizza guy comes to the door and Ella answewers it (my Ella who is afraid of strangers) and is says 'hi' , because apparently the pizza man is not a stranger and part of our most inner circle. After the pizza guy responds to Ella, he starts looking around my house (from the door frame - he's not sitting down with us for pizza) and he asks 'where's the little guy I was going to say to him, no pizza for you, it's our joke.' You know like their inside joke. My son has an inside joke with the pizza man.

Now should I be embarrassed or am I just memorable.

How Much Do You Pay a Wii to Babysitt? $7/ hour?

Ethan has been sick for the last 3 days and in my house when you are sick there are no limitations to how much TV/ movies you can watch or how many video games you can play - you should see me when I am sick, Mario Kart is my life.

So Ethan has been in heavan and to be honest so have I. With no limitations on his time in front of the TV I have got so much done this week, I rearranged my living room, organized my basement and got a great workout in everyday. I don't know who it is going to be harder for when he feels better and we go back to our 'TV rules', him or me.

I totally get how parents let the TV babysit their kids.

Why Do I Care About Their Lives? ... NO MORE!

I have a new goal. If you were in my mind you would hear me utter that sentence every 2-3 days. But this goal is serious enough for me to expose it to the world, so here goes...

No more celebrity news for me. No more Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood and my personal fav TMZ. Now let me clarify, I am not an avid celebrity watcher, but I know and watch enough to keep me in the know. But I have decided the stuff I do know is to much. Really I am not a better person for knowing who got TTYNed by Paris Hilton or Jon and Jen are back again or that Hugh Grant has a Temper. I could go on. None of this stuff enriches my life in ANY way. I have come to the conclusion that I would be better suited to sit in a dark room by myself and stare at a white wall, than watch the 'news'.

I don't want to be one of those people that calls TMZ my 'news program'. (you know like on 'So I Married An Axe Murder?) I do however want to be one of those people who says 'Oh, I don't know who Speidi is ... is that some sort of insect?.

If some of the references above have confused you, good for you, you are my muse.
