My Entertainment Wish List for 2010

I have made my New Year's resolutions (and probably have already broken most of them). Now I want to write down a few things that I wish for in 2010 in the world of entertainment. Just because I have not been writing about this stuff lately does not mean that I am not paying attention. I wish for:

1. A nice man for Jennifer Aniston - she seems nice and she is beautiful. Why can't she find someone?

2. An Emmy for Friday Night Lights - every week I watch this show and lament about how great it actually is, maybe someone else will notice.

3. The early demise of Spencer and Heidi (not death just go away) - I have a real problem with people who are famous for just being famous.

4. More covers of magazines with famous people that actually are good and moral. I know, I know boring but after awhile the Tigers and Charlie Sheens have got to be shown up by someone decent.

5. Please, please no NFL strike! Please! ( I know that this is not Hollywood but it falls under my entertainment realm).

6. Movies to win Oscars that are fun to watch for the masses yet still send a message. Go Up!

7. More happy stories on the Network News; thank you Brian Williams.

8. The return of a Project Runway that is not boring and hard to watch because you have no one to pull for.

9. Glee to catch on and everyone starts singing just for the hell of it. OK I am kidding but when the show returns I hope that the wonderful stories maintain their momentum and the show does not become ho-hum.

10. Finally, I wish for less divorce, less ridiculously young deaths and more happiness (and rainbows everywhere).

Happy New Year Hollywood!

What will the year bring.....

Happy 2010 everyone! After spending a quite evening at home with my husband and children I woke up this morning with a rested head and a new zest for the year to come. As always, I have made a list of things that I would like to accomplish this year. Drumroll please......and here they are (in no particular order):

1. Lose 10 pounds (I do this one every year but this is the year of my 20 year high school reunion so it must happen)

2. Run a race and finish it (this one is scheduled, I am running a 5k on February 20th and you will hear plenty about it I am sure).

3. Try to remember how good I actually have it and not sweat the small stuff (I need to be better about letting things roll off my back).

4. Visit my family more...

5. Organize my house, my computer, my pictures and my life.

6. Be more consistent with my writing (see above)

7. Work on my patience with the children (and my husband and my friends and my family,,,)

OK that is a start. Does anyone else have a list yet? Am I reaching here? I am watching football today and eating football food and then the diet and healthy lifestyle will begin. Happy, happy day everyone! May this be the start of a fabulous year.

Happy New Year....

I hope that 2010 is so much better than 2009. Have a safe and happy night.

Have Yourself a Merry Little....

I miss my blogger friends and hope that in the New Year I will get back on track with my blog. I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday and Santa brings you all everything you wish for. Merry, Merry Christmas to everyone!

Can't Bitch if You Don't Vote

Last night I watched the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance. I have watched all season just have not recapped due to time constraints. So here is my opinion (whether you want it or not). I am pissed that Ashleigh and Ryan are in the final 6 (and don't get me started about the fact that it is not the final 4). Legacy should have been in the finale as should have Mollee (surprisingly). As I was complaining about this fact my husband (the sage that he is) interrupted and asked how many times I voted this season. "Well none" I said, "but still" and he announced "you can't bitch if you don't vote". As much as I hate to admit it, he is correct. So after watching the performances last night; I voted (more than once). And I voted for....yep you guessed it..Russell. The smile, the style and the dance won me over. Honestly I would not be devastated if Kathryn won but I really want Russell to come out of this victorious. As for favorite dances this season, very few jump out and grab me. Noelle and Russell's painting number was good, Jakob and Mollee's waltz was beautiful. Any others that were great? Anyway, go Russell. Looking forward to tonight.

Trying to get Caught Up..

Christmas is upon us and I have been remiss in keeping up with my blogger friends (and trying to write a little something on my blog) but I wanted to reach out and say hello to one and all.

I was just reading David Dust and also wanted to give a shout-out to my favorite show of this new season...Glee. I love it, love it, love it and last night's "fall finale" did not disappoint.

A few others that I am loving thus far this season...Cougar Town, Modern Family, So You Think You Can Dance (as always), Gossip Girl (getting back into its groove the past few weeks), NCIS:Los Angeles and Bones.

My goodness I watch a lot of television. Anyway, I miss you all and will check in soon.

The Amazing Race - Farewell

I needed to write a quick letter after watching Sunday's episode of The Amazing Race (bear with me)...

Dear Flight Time and Big Easy,

Thank you both for being the team with the best attitude on The Amazing Race ever (except maybe Jon and Kris from Season 6). You were both classy, classy guys with wonderful smiles. Maybe not the smartest when it came to puzzles but definitely the team that looked like they were having the most fun. You will be missed in a finale of which I have no team to pull for.

Thanks for remembering the joy of the game.

Tivo Mom

PS Please tell me that a little part of you wants to kick the brothers ass for screwing you in the Roadblock. Just a little part.
