Happy Wednesday!

Feeling not at all sexy this week so I thought I needed this!  Happy Hump Day everyone!

Smash - The new Glee?

I am just going to say this...I loved it!  I just watched the new musical show on NBC, Smash, and I really and truly loved it.  You've seen the promos, Katherine McPhee (of Idol fame) singing Beautiful on a stage alone (you know that song stays in your head all day...earworms D&O?) and then cut to her looking like Marilyn.  Well the show started last night and I could not stop watching.  OK, the show does start at 10:00 so I did not watch until today (girl needs her beauty sleep) but it was impressive.

The premise, a new Broadway show about Marilyn and 2 girls vying for the lead, plus all of the people involved in putting on the show.  Its so nice to have Grace Adler (Debra Messing) back on television and I actually like Katherine McPhee a lot.  The rest are still a blur (except Anjelica Huston and she scares me a little) but I will get to know them quickly. 

Remember when Glee first came out and everyone was so excited?  This is how I feel right now.  I am a true Musical Theater person and I am fascinated by this new concept.  Let me know what you thought or if you watched. 

The Super Bowl - Of course I watched...

Yep, I watched the whole thing.  It was a great game!  But more importantly, the Super Bowl has become this iconic Holiday to throw your diet out the window and put down the remote and actually watch the commercials.  Many of you don't love football (yeah I don't get it) so I won't spend a lot of time on this but a few things deserve a mention from last night. 

• The halftime show was phenomenal!  Madonna is a legend and I love watching her perform.  I did hear a few grumblings about her lack of dance moves.  She is 53 years old people!  I say she did pretty good.  
• One more about Madonna, hated the new song but loved when she played the old stuff.  Loved the addition of Cee Lo but I could have done without the appearances from some of the others.  
• I liked the Clint Eastwood commercial for Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler about it being halftime and stepping up to get through tough times.   But (and this is just because it was the Super Bowl) its hard to appreciate a "make you think" ad when you are drinking beer with your friends.  I liked this on the 2nd or 3rd viewing better.
• Doritos outdid themselves.  The dog burying the cat was one of the funniest of the night.  Loved it and the note!
• Loved the Voice promo with the hosts fighting and Betty White at the end.  The woman can do no wrong.
• And of course we all loved the David Beckham underwear ad.  Don't know anything about the underwear but yeah...David Beckham...no clothes...score!!!

 Obviously there were some stupid commercials too and of course some lame calls etc.  But above is what I remember most about the 2012 Super Bowl.  Did I miss anything important?

Not sure who to pull for...

I am not a fan of the Patriots or the Giants so of course I am conflicted about who to pull for today.  I am a fan of football and will be watching the game but it is never as much fun if you don't care which team wins.  Plus, my football pool is so far out of reach that my pick does not matter.  So today I will be a fan of the game and watch just for fun....

not a bad evening...

Project Runway - Boo hoo....

I finally watched Project Runway from Thursday night and I am a little bummed.  As much as Anthony got on my nerves, I enjoyed his humor and he was definitely comic relief.  I get that you have to follow the parameters of the challenge, but there is no doubt in my mind that Jerrell's outfit was completely scary and he should have gone home.  Just sayin...

I may be losing my mind...

I am all over the place lately.  I think I have over extended my kids, therefore overextending myself.  I always vowed to not be one of those moms that had activities for my kids everyday.  A kid's got to have free time.  But, as they get older it becomes hard to say know when they want to play a sport or try something new.  So I have limited it to 2 activities per child.  Yeah, that doesn't work.  For example, softball is considered 1 activity but she has 2 practices and 1 game a week. 

Anyway, with all of this stuff going on, I cannot remember anything.  And then when I do, I promptly forget again.  One of my closest friends turned 40 on Tuesday and even after looking at it in my calender and writing myself a reminder, I forgot to make the phone call.  I feel awful and now have to go get a guilt gift.

So if I seem a little off, I apologize.  I am trying to keep up, I just need to get into the groove. 

By the way, Happy February and Happy Groundhog Day!

Yes I have the maturity of a 12 year old boy....

Happy Wednesday!
