Super-cute Couple

Now that is how I like to see couples in love - SMILING and HOLDING HANDS!  Isn't it adorable to see super-manly Man of Steel, Henry Cavill, smiling while holding hands with his lady love, Kaley Cuoco?  What a super-cute couple!!!

Two Thoughts for Tuesday

Time again to share my two thoughts for Tuesday.  First off, I am so glad that the mums I got last year have come back and are even taller and thicker than before.  I remember being a little worried when I first got them because I was not successful at growing them before.  At the same time, I was uber-excited because I had never seen red mums in person before and I thought it was just awesome luck that I saw them at the Garden Center.

Heidi Klum and Seal Break Up

Just a little over a year ago, I took a look at celebrity break-ups and pointed out some of the things I noticed about the couples before they announced their break-ups. But now I hear about Heidi Klum and Seal breaking up and I am just soooooo shocked!

Two Thoughts Tuesday - Mums and Me

I try to keep my blog posts here about entertainment but with the arrival of the Fall season - shorter days, cloudy skies, cold nights, etc. - I just start to feel BLAH!!! So this year, I decided to ward off those seasonal "blues" with "reds!!!" Aren't these flowers so bright and cheery? I found a wonderful deal for these mums at a local plant nursery and decided to get a few pots. It just made my day because I had never seen mums this color before. I've only seen yellow and white mums, which I've had before but could never seem to keep going the following year. We'll see with these ones this year...

I transplanted them in some nice white pots I found on clearance at Kmart.  My miniature roses in the square-shaped pots are not in bloom right now but I think they'll hold up and greet me with some lovely flowers come springtime. 

In the meantime, I think the Fall season is starting off great with these lovely red mums to greet me when I come home from work each day...whaddaya think?

My two cents about Kat Von D and Jesse James

So Jesse James and Kat Von D broke off their engagement for the second time! I'm sure many out there have already shouted out, "Who cares?!" when that popped up in the celebrity news and gossip feeds.

Yeah, me, too! I don't really care. In fact, my opinion is that Kat Von D is either just plain ole naive or she had a serious case of mistaken emotions, thinking that her sympathy for Jesse "Jerk" James was true love.

Two Thoughts - Two Weddings

I have two thoughts to share this Tuesday on Blogdumps' Top Sites Tuesday. Those two thoughts are about the two most anticipated weddings of 2011.

You know how it seems everyone in the world was obsessed with the on and off relationship between Prince William and Kate Middleton for years.  Ever since they met, the world was following them through the eyes of the photographers that followed them around.  Then this year, they finally tied the knot and England has a new princess!

A Look at Showbiz Break-Ups

Yes, everyone loves to talk about it.  Celebrities and their failing marriages.  It's nothing new.  Very few celebrities seem to be able to stay married to the same partner for a lifetime.  Those that do stay together longest are either staying out of the spotlight (hence able to keep their private lives PRIVATE) or not legally married (like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell).  What's up with that?!

I thought I'd take a look back at some of the popular celebrity break-ups (sorry if I didn't pick out any of your faves to include in here).  I noticed familiar patterns about their public appearances just before their break-up announcements.  You can just tell they're not happy together.  It's so visible in their body language. 

Look at Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman in the picture above.  They're both pre-occupied with their texting phones instead of paying attention to each other or with their surroundings.  I didn't include them here but a lot of the pictures I've seen of them together do not look like a very happy couple - even when they first got married.  Why is it that I hardly ever see Jordan Bratman smile?  You'd think that he'd show how happy he was being married to a woman that millions of young men would gladly trade places with him for.

Even my favorite young actress, Reese Witherspoon has had her share of unhappy public relationships.  Her marriage to Ryan Phillipe didn't last despite having such beautiful children together.  In the picture above, you can see how they're both looking away from each other.  It's like there was something more interesting to look at in their opposite directions.  

I think that my favorite female musical performer of all time, Madonna, may have had a lot of soul-searching in her life (which included a failed first marriage to Sean Penn) before she settled down with Guy Ritchie.  It seemed finally that she had the perfect showbiz marriage for awhile.  Guy was protective of her (kind of like Sean Penn was) but not so anti-papparazzi (unlike Sean Penn was) enough to punch someone for holding a camera in front of the couple.  Yet you could tell in their pictures (like the one above) that something just wasn't going right.  When you see even a camera-loving star like Madonna looking like she doesn't want to be out in public and her partner not even loosening up to smile a bit, it kinda makes you wonder just how happy they are together.

A little dark humor

It's funny what goes through my head sometimes as I'm sitting in traffic on my way to work. A couple of years ago, I thought of verses to this poem as I sat at a stoplight waiting for the light to change. When I finally made it to the office, I grabbed a notepad and started jotting down the lines. The finished poem turned out like this:


It just makes me laugh. I thought I'd share it hope my readers enjoy a little dark humor and get their week-end off to a fun start.
