44’s wife is on the cover of People.  And who cares if Michelle Obama shows her upper arms?!!! Why is the media focusing on her upper arms?  Who can answer that?  Why does Kathie Gifford boast of showing her upper arms “to support the Fist Lady?”  What has happened to this country?  Has everyone lost their senses?  Rome is burning, and we are thinking of Mrs. 44’s upper arms?  Her husband is announcing that he is about to take a huge cutting whack at both Medicare and Medicaid, meanwhile, he is shoveling money to the US corporations – who can make sense of this???  OMG  And a $1.50 tax on every gallon of gas sold? OMG  44 lived in Chicago – never went to a gas station for himself it seems.  He is hitting us down here in the trenches!!! Does 44 remember who voted for him?  OMG Everyone, pace yourself and I’ll do the same.  Adios

It’s March 2009!  Amazing how time flies!  So who had jumped in on the taxes for this year?  OMG I have an M.B.A and numbers are my friends, but I would NEVER do my own taxes. NEVER!  When can Washington DC make it easy –or even EASIER for us to file taxes?  So I gathered all my papers and called HR Block –amazing – “totally booked all day Saturday & Sunday!” OMG  Next stop:  WalMart.  My husband asked the young man if he had any openings for the day - -good news: come at 10am!  So we brought all our papers with all our gift-that-keeps-on-giving carryovers to him at the desk table at the front of WalMart.  If any of you ‘enjoy’ carryovers, like mine from the ‘dot-con’ days of ‘loss,’ you understand why I call them the gift that keeps on giving – OMG! So we completed our taxes.  Now all we have to do is wait for the reviewers to complete the cross-check end-to-end.  “Maybe Monday” and of course the young gentleman “only works weekends.”  So we successfully had a “professional” work the many forms for us BUT we still wait while the subject matter experts plow through the weekend work it seems.  Everyone, pace yourself and I’ll do the same.  Adios

Who else watches American Idol?  It seems the judges this year all criticize the songs selected! OMG  Last night /Wed it seemed over and over Randy, Paula, Simon and the new gal judge continued to complain ‘not your best choice of song’ and ‘didn’t do it for ya Dawg’ and ‘could it have been worse? I think not!, ‘did not show your range man!’and ‘that was too safe a song’ – OMG  Paula has a ‘do’ with her face almost totally engulfed in her hair and odd hair extensions!  Overwhelming hair it is!  I think that the talent this season #8? is great! It does show America’s Talent!  And I like Ryan Secrest too! LOL  Everyone, pace yourself and I’ll do the same.  Adios

So Jennifer Anniston held her own in front of the Oscar audience with Brad and Angelina in the front row – go girl!  You rock! Jennifer is so happy with her young fella John Mayer.  She just turned 40 but she says ‘he makes me laugh’ – if that isn’t the truth!  Even if he is 7 years her junior! We all love a guy who can make us laugh – in fact many of us married that guy who relieved the day to day corporate monotony with hysterical laughter at the end of the day! I did!  LOL  But can’t we give Jennifer a break – it’s been over 5 years since Brad fell for the exotic odd Angelina while still married to Jen – way not cool.  But Brad admitted he did Jen wrong by being unfaithful-it is what it is. So Jen, enjoy being 40! And no need to rush into marriage –look at Goldie Hawn-she is happy for sure! And no marriage certificate for sure holds that relationship together – go Goldie!  Everyone, pace yourself & I will do same!  Adios

Fat Tuesday is here!
Enjoy wearing those beads around the office! LOL Few know the meaning but the concept of FUN is there – no worries – be happy! LOL
So Prom time is coming our way.
Who else is being asked by the High Scholl PTA to donate gently used or new prom dresses?????????? OMG
Of course there are girls that are in need, but the PTA hitting the corporations in the school district to make the GUILT apparent is beyond belief. So of course we all will pull out a gown to ‘donate’ as the feel good factor for community awareness. Amazing just amazing – it never ends. We just got over the food drive for Thanksgiving and then again on Christmas for the poor in the area and now it’s Prom Dress Donation time. Oh, and don’t forget the school candle sales, gift wrap sales, magazine sales, and the Girl Scout Cookies! Everyone, pace yourself & I will do same! Adios

Happy Monday!  It is YOUR day – make sure to use it!  Unfortunately the stimulus news is hugely depressing.  And the Governors are in DC to talk 44’s ears off regarding what each state really needs. I suspect the Republican Governors will continue to pushback due to attached strings for the stimulus funding and the Michigan Governor asking for their share – LOL  The ebb and flow of politics!  Keep your sense of humor!  And what would George Washington think today?  Few kids today are aware that February 22 was George Washington’s Birthday.  We have melded the need for ‘Monday holidays’ into masking history it seems.  More kids think about Mardi Gras at this time of year!  But they don’t have a clue about the translated words of ‘Fat Tuesday’ leading into Ash Wednesday on Febuary 25 – few know that date’s significance as well I’ll bet.  Call it progress.  Everyone, pace yourself & I will do same!  Adios

The New York Collection is here! My favorite Michael Kors is featuring a speckled tweed gray suit worn with a black cashmere sleeveless turtleneck!  Fabulous!

Chris Benz has a stunning sheared mink double breasted pea-coat look in yummie butter yellow!  Worn over a yellow mini and same yellow hued tights and black pumps – WOW!  The hot orange / purple shaded knit fox bomber jacket of Thakoon rocks with the purple pencil skirt!  Seeing the designers debut is always a thrill!  Even if I cannot afford a Narciso Rodriguez designer cashmere coat, I am influenced by the couture!  Way to go!  Even in a horrible economy, we can still smile with the joy of something new to wear!  And something new to think about for the next purchase - -I am focusing on that tweed suit of my fav Michael Kors!  It’s the perfect match to my long adored perfume of his! 
Thank you for the mental lift in viewing the couture! 
For a short period, I can ignore the stimulus package and the peripheral nonsense of Capitol Hill behind the scenes trades underway.  Everyone, pace yourself & I will do same!  Adios

Buzzing about what each state will do with its share of the stimulus money!  Very creative ideas!      EX. : Green dog parks in California!  Texas golf course for Frisbees in Austin Texas!  But the most creative so far is yet again Texas:  it seems the Governor’s Mansion was hit by a vandal and burned to the ground June 8 last year.  So the estimates to repair are in the range of $27 Million – yes!  Governor Rick Perry’s wife is all about private fund raising but that moves very slowly.  So yesterday we heard from the Texas Finance Committee Chair Steve Ogden, a great example of the need for term limits LOL
