Cleaning the house and taking the blame.

September 02, 2006

Heya, gang!

I'm feeling much better today. I risked going out last night to dinner and drinks with my best friend Kim and I think it payed off - it just felt SO good to be part of society again! Since I got back last weekend from visiting my mom in Washington State I haven't really been out of the house except for going to work. Laughing and talking and being around people was exactly the medicine I needed.

It didn't hurt, too, that I could sleep in today. So far, I've spent my Saturday doing some much needed domestic maintenance on my house: laundry, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, and just plain organizing crap that has gotten out of hand. Seriously, you guys, I counted 13 tabloids on my coffee table (Us Weekly, Star, In Touch Weekly, etc.), not to mention the monthly magazines like Vanity Fair and Vogue. I think I'm obsessed. I'm not kidding. If I stopped buying magazines, I could live like royalty. But, then again, I'd never know about Ashlee Simpson's new face or who Lindsay Lohan is dating. I couldn't live that way.

The promos for the new season of The View are running on TV like cuhrazy and I'm getting SO excited to see Rosie on TV again everyday (starting Tuesday, September 5th)! I think she's going to bring such a great energy to that show and I for one can't wait.

Speaking of Rosie O'Donnell, many of you have written me asking about her and Michelle Kwan's answers to our CELEBRITY POP QUIZ. What's a CPQ?!? Click HERE for more info.

Anyway... it's all my fault. I've gotten so wrapped up in other things that I still haven't sent either of them your CPQ questions. I totally take the blame. BUT, I promise you that I will send Rosie's questions to her today and Michelle will get her questions by the end of the weekend. I PROMISE! Okay? Okay. We're good? :)

Okay, I'm off to finish cleaning the house as I listen to The Eurythmics Greatest Hits and then maybe I'll go shopping. I need/want new jeans and I just might treat myself today.

How are you spending YOUR Saturday?!?

Until tomorrow!
Ross

I'm first!!!!
GO Herd BEAT WVU!

 

Good to hear that the cold has run its course, Ross! The ONLY good thing about colds is that you know they are temporary!
Saturday on a long weekend... nice and lazy. Huzbear and I played tennis this morning with our usual foresome, and he's napping right now. Later we plan to head up the San Francisco and maybe hit the South of Market haunts... its Hairrson Street Fair, after all! Then a seafood pasta dinner, with a cream sauce, scallops and prawns and smoked salmon. Yum!

 

I'm glad you are feeling better. :D

 

Glad you're feeling better Ross and had a chance to go out with your friends - they must have missed you while you were at Mom's!
Bear, I am SOOO coming to San Fran to party with you and huzbear. You have a new party every weekend. Hope to see you all in chat later tonight

 

I've spent my Saturday sleeping and catching up on myspace comments and messages and e-mail. I've been taking care of job related things and didn't have the time the chat BUT I did read the blog at school. LOL!

I signed into chat and THE Real Ross was in there. I had him all to myself. HA HA! I'm also doing laundry and multi-tasking by watching the Friends of Coal Bowl with WVU and Marshall while I'm online. PLUS, I'm babysitting my granddogters. They are a handful. I KNOW I can wait to be a grandmother of real children.

See you guys in chat tonight cuz I FINALLY have time to be there.

Keep a good thought for Singing Marcie. She sings for the American Idol producers tomorrow in Memphis. Hope she makes the cut.

So glad you are feeling better Ross. We are enjoying beautiful weather - cool - low 70's - very unusual for Kansas this time of year!

We've spent the day running our weekend errands, and tomorrow morning we will be cleaning house in preparation for a cookout we're having tomorrow afternoon. Am loving the fact that it's a 3-day weekend!

Can't wait for Rosie on Tuesday either! I've got to tape it tho (no Tivo in this house yet-bummer!)...

Have a great weekend ya'all!

 

Glad you are feeling better. Our Saturday is lazy and cold and rainy. Miss Cassidy and I fell asleep on the sofa and woke up to I am hungry cries from the hubby. Think I want to go back to sleep!

 

Glad Your Felling Better Ross!:) I'm Just Walking Around, And On The WWW And That.

 

So glad to hear you're feeling better Ross! Hey CG can I tag along with you and Bear, he always sounds like he has the most fun!! I love salmon!
Hope to see you guys in chat tonight! Take care and remember Ross, don't over do, you're just recovering!
Until Later!!

 

Ross-ola,
So happy to read that you are feeling better! Laughter IS the best medicine! :)

Rosie-osie-osie-oh ( as I like to call her) makes her debut on tv again this Tuesday!!! I can't friggin wait!!! LOL!!! :)

Enjoy your Saturday, and take care!

Hugs to you and Louise! :),
Sarah

 

Ross-So glad you were feeling up to going out with friends! I'm sure you had a blast...I LOVE the Rosie promos that are running also!! I cannot wait for Tuesday to see her return to t.v.

Bear-I agree with chilei, you are a fun guy and that food sounds yummy! Ross-I also LOVE The Eurythmics! I am a big fan of Annie Lenox' solo stuff also! Walking on Broken Glass comes to mind! Love the song and the video! My Saturday is pretty boring-just relaxing, cleaning and about to prepare dinner!

 

You know Ross, you could live like royalty if you checked out your gossip on the internet! LOL but enjoy your Saturday!

 

Hi Ross!
So glad you are feeling better! It stinks to feel bad when there is stuff to do. I was feeling a little under the weather this morning, but I took an Allegra and my sinuses are clear again. I was afraid I caught something on the airplane!

Whabbear, your dinner sounds wonderfully delicious! Thanks for making me hungry in the middle of the afternoon.

Ross, everything you want to read about the stars is available online. Save yourself some recycling and go online for all the good gossip. Heck, YOU are the one who taught me about "Pink is the new blog"!! There is great gossip there!

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

I do love magazines too. It gets out of control over the months. But that's what I like.
I saw View's new launching TV commercial with Rosie's broadway touch. I am looking forward her in View. I do respect her view in our life.

 

Hello Everyone!!
Happy Saturday..I just finished work, and I'm relaxing with a nice glass of wine! The sun is hot, and I only have 2 day's off then it's kids back to school, and I back to work!!
Ross I'm glad you're feeling better! It's been said that you alway's need a holiday after a holiday!!
Hope to see you all in chat tonight!
Katdom

 

Hi Ross and all the friendly bloggers out there. I hope you found a nice pair of jeans Ross. I hate jeans shopping. It is always a nightmare trying to find the right size and fit. But there is nothing better than a great pair of jeans! Have a relaxing weekend.

 

Happy Saturday, Ross and blog friends. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better Ross and that you were able to get out for a bit last night.

My Saturday so far has been most enjoyable... :
spent working in the morning and then going out to lunch with my good friend Lee Ann to "My Big Fat Greek Restaurant" OMG it was good.. (Gyros pitas and Greek Salad).

Then we went shopping... Sam's Club then the Arizona Mills Mall (walking around it once is at least a mile so we got a little exercise in after that nice lunch). We found Lee Ann a suit for her daughter's wedding in November so it was a great trip. While I'm tired I really enjoyed my Saturday so far.

I am looking very forward to Rosie on the 5th. YAY!!!!

Hugs to everyone & wishes for a great weekend... to those celebrating or having or going to get-togethers... have a safe and lovely holiday.

 

hmmm. weird.. hours ago I left a comment.. yet it is not here? strange.. anyway.. cleaning going on here too..
have a great saturday!

 

i know what you mean about magazines. i actually had to scale back. my mailbox was about to fall off the house!

HEY btw those of you on the Western side of the map.... the NBC FALL PREVIEW SHOW is on tonight.

Jack Black hosts SNL tonight to kick off season 31 ('hoping I can stay awake that long).

 

Ross, I am glad you are feeling better. Now I am sick too though!! I have the dreaded summer cold. I think I caught it from my kids/the kids that I have here for daycare everyday. I am going to take some NyQuil and go to bed soon. My daughter is at grandmas tonight and I told hubby he's on baby duty tonight. I hope I feel better. Tomorrow I want to paint my downstairs!!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend and safe holiday.

Tricia

 

Ross, I'm glad you're feeling better - I'm getting over my cold too. It appears to have run the worst of it's course. I was SO lazy today - I didn't even get out of my pajamas until about 6:30 pm! Gotta love days like that! :) Maybe tomorrow I'll be productive ... then again, maybe not!

Can't wait for Rosie to be back in our every day lives - woo hoo!

 

Ya know, there are two things I look forward to every day....The Ross Blog and hearing what Whabbear has had to eat. LOL!!!! (But I'm really not kidding.)
Ross, I'm happy to hear you're on the road to recovery. Good for you (and even better for your friends) that you had a night out last night. Me? Boring, lazy weekend here in Ohio. There is a lot to do around town today but I've had a headache all day and went nowhere. A long nap and my migraine meds didn't even take care of it. So I'm missing chat and going to bed. Hope tomorrow is a better day. Love to all!

 

Oh, I forgot to mention that I can hardly wait for Rosie on The View either! I'm so excited about her return to TV!!!!! Those promos are funny. Elizabeth needs singing lessons. Well, she needs more than that, in my opinion, but I won't go there.

 

Glad you're feeling better and being productive. I had the greatest day. We went to see 'Wicked' and it was amazing. If you haven't seen it run, don't walk.

 

I'm glad to hear you're getting better. I really thought Kim was going to have to take you to the doctor.
I spent my Saturday trying to recover from a furuncle (boil) that I developed over a week ago. It's compressed against a nerve in my neck and is causing headaches. I've been on antibiotics for almost a week and I'm finally starting to recover. The progress has been a lot slower than what I'm used to. However, I do thank you for your daily blogs; it's been my LOL medicine. Thanks, Dr. Ross and blogmates!!!
Also, my parents and I went to Wal-Mart to get ready for yet another BBQ. At least it's not hot as Hades around here anymore!!! We'll be having grilled chicken breasts, pork steak, potato salad w/dill spice, leafy green salad (love that Caesar dressing!), grilled onions, and pecan pie. YUM!!! I guess the BBQ will make up for missing the Choctaw Nation Labor Day Festival in Tuskahomma, OK. And I still can't believe I'm missing Clint Black tonight!!!!! Oh well....darn this boil from hell!!!
Later, y'all

 

Mr. Mathews, I am so glad you are on the road to recovery (you too Ross Rules). Also, I finally got the chance to take a look at your friends photo pages. Ms. Landreth does AMAZING work with shadows. My fav. pic is the one with the person smoking. Ms Riffle, while also good with shadows I think she has a real talent for finding the soul in the eyes. My fav of hers is the one with the person in front of the door, LOVELY! One question though, what are the glowing "light" on the far left of the pic.?

Marr-- Good luck to Singing Marcie

Whabbear-- I think you are great fun too, but I don't think prude me could ever hang out with you (even for the good food). I would be so afraid we would accidentally run into "PUBLIC DISPLAY"...LOL!!

Tricia--Hope you are feeling better today

One piece of news about me. An anniversary of mine has passed me by. As of the 20th of August I have been smoke free for ten years. I read that after ten years lungs are the same as those of someone who has never smoked. YEAH!!! Look at my lungs, aren't they beautiful?!?!??!

 

Whoops forgot...

Darlene-- turns out he does not know him.

Happy sunday all

 

Congrats to you, Meghan, on being smoke-free!!! And for 10 years!!! How awesome is that!!! I've smoked off & on since nursing school....I know, I know, shame on me. Currently, I've been smoke-free for 1.5 mos. I'm sharing this info because I know how addictive nicotine is, and I think you deserve a special shout out for the tremendous willpower you've shown!!!!

WOO-HOO!!!!! Way to go!!!
Keep up the great work!!!

JNO

 

Jackie Natiuve Okie-- Thanks so much!!! I am a little proud of myself. Great job to you for the past 1.5 months! I started and stopped a lot before I finally got it down. Now if I could just refrain from Ice cream...hmmmmmmm.

 

yummm!!!!
Butter Pecan, Rocky Road, or just a delectable Banana Split?
Wait....I gotta take my insulin before I indulge!!!
:) :) :) :)
JNO

 

(probably over the comment limit, but today looks to be a slow day so OH WELL...lol)

JNO--Fav is a "naner spit" (banana split), but I do it with crazy flavors of ice cream, no whip cream and no nuts. Fav ice cream from the store, Rocky road. Fav ice cream joint "Stone Cold" YUMMMMMMM!!!!

 

Just one word BUMBERSHOOT RULES!!!!!!!!!!

 

Rosie on the View will be awesome, I'm reallly looking forward to the Celebrity Pop Quiz! I want to hear "what she loves about Ross" :)

 

Should I comment today since people had problems after I commented yesterday?

 

Of COURSE you should comment, oh Great_White_Mikey :-)

What are everyone else's plans for Labor Day? For us, I think it's a quiet day but possibly a cul-de-sac BBQ later in the afternoon...

Talk to everyone later!
B>

 

Happy Labor Day Sunday, bloggers! I went back into the archives, and just to clear up the issue from chat last night, it was ANNIE who swallowed the earwig! Annie, how about that story? We're all waiting with, er, bated breath!

And to bisc, apologies again for my clumsy attempt at humor. Picture me cowed and chastened!

Dinner WAS delicious last night, Hart, CG, Glynnis, et al. LOL at your interest, and I would love to hook up with any of you, if you visit San Francisco, for general eating and partying... and don't worry, Meghan, I'm sure we could keep things comfortably G-rated! C'mon down!

Meanwhile, sounded like Jacke_Native_Okie's barbeque was awesome, too!

 

Annie swallowed the earwig?

Now we know where babies come from.

 

Hey Ross! Glad to hear you're feeling better! Sometimes it does help to get out into the real world for a while....get reminded that you're still alive. LOL

My husband and I had a dinner & movie date last night, went to see "Crank". Good action, a lot of T&A....almost made me break out into a sweat! Sheweeee!! LOL!!!

 

whabb.. no worries dear.. I've had my own problem with the critters.. LOL..
hope everyone is having a lovely sunday.. we got the guest room finished and have moved on to other rooms.. butter is on a tear!!!! just call her Mr. Clean!
later taters..
bisc..
ross.. glad you are feeling better.

 

Woo-Hoo! r0sIe! Less than 42 Hours to Go!

 

Jacny-We are twins!! I was waiting for the new blog to change my name to Rosie in 2 Days! LMAO

 

I'm taking it easy today bloggers. Happy holiday weekend. For those who don't read my blog, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has a male baby great white shark on display. You can view it n their live cam here!!>

 

Hey, Rossman!!!
Are we gonna get a blog entry today? Just wondering since it's almost 6:00 pm here in SE Okla.

Hey, Whabbear!!!
Had many gastronomic d-lites w/BBQ. Now I'm jonesing for a "naner spit" from Braum's. Sounds like your dinner was "to die" for as well. Especially the salmon!!! yummmmmmm!!! Ok, ok, I know.....back away from the table, Jackie ;) ;)

Hey, Glynis!!!
I thought babies came from the cabbage patch out in the garden behind my house.....at least that's where my mama told me she found me.

Have a great Labor Day Sunday, y'all!!!!!!!!!

 

LMAO@Jackie...I think Ross went out for those jeans yesterday, and has never returned..Should we send out a search party? LOL

He should take Sundays off!(as much as I'd miss a blog entry) Sunday should be a day of rest! Mikey-that cam is awesome...I like the penguin one on there also! Thanks!(I did read your bulletin about it)

Oh and I have to pick at you Jackie..A banana spit
LMAO

 

Glad you feeling better Ross.. sometimes going out with friends laughing having a good time kicks that sickness out of your body... my saturday went great.. spent it in Vegas walking the strip all day.. Went to Tim and Faith concert!!

 

Joey,
I know it's a "split" & not "spit". BTW, do bananas spit? I know nanas can spit...especially if they chew tobacco or dip snuff. EEEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! I know that's gross. Even for me! ;)
