Happy happy Saturday, blog buddies!

I have had THE BEST Saturday so far. I got up early, hung out with Louise, got ready, got coffee, and hit the town - IKEA, Target, Linens N' Things...

I didn't find that much stuff (a rug for the kitchen and a little bed for Louise), but it was SO nice to just be out and about shopping and killing time. I've been so busy lately and have missed the mind numbing bliss that comes with wasting money on little things I don't really need.

Last night I went out with my friend Kim to a super-duper fancy place in the Silverlake district of LA. I love going out to nice dinners every once in a while. Don't get me wrong, I get excited about going to Chili's or Denny's, too, but there's something so decadent about indulging in salads with almond crusted goat cheese and halibut with a blood orange sauce - things they don't really make at Chili's (although this fancy place didn't have Chili's famous queso bean dip, so they're sort of even).

I do have a bone to pick with restaurants in LA - it's always SO dark inside! Seriously, I'm always holding a candle up to the menu so I can read it. Yesterday, I got so mad that I vowed to Kim that from now on I'll put a mini flashlight on my key chain and hold it up to my menus without shame. Is this a problem for anyone else?!?

Anyway...

I'm making it my mission to finally see Helen Mirren's film The Queen sometime this weekend. I've been trying to see it for weeks to no avail, but I refuse to go another weekend without seeing what all the buzz is about. I also plan on seeing some other films during my week off next week (The Tonight Show is on hiatus).

Okay. I have nothing exceptional or exciting to report today. I'm just thrilled to not be on a plane or on the other side of the country or working working working. I'm in love with the fact that I'm sitting on my couch right now and watching Psychic Detectives andIdon'tevencare.

Oh - and keep your CELEBRITY POP QUIZ questions coming for Linda Blair! Email them to me at: rosstheintern@yahoo.com.

Until tomorrow, blog buddies!

Am I first again?!?

Yes! I have enormous trouble reading menus in dark restaurants. And... it's getting worse, especially over the last few years.

Time for bifocals! :(

Damn those hobbits! Quick little creatures...

Ross sounds like a great day! Today I watched my boys play soccer, cleaned and then relaxed. Tomorrow we are off to a castle and pumpkin patch.

Whabbear-- your posts get funnier and funnier!

And since I posted it at almost the bottom here is yesterday's post:

Ross-- A lot of people have commented on them already but WOWsers to Ms. Gilberts milk makers! It inspires me to want to show off mine while I have em (currently nursing) as they will soon be heading south for more than the winter!

Hillary---I AM A DOOGIE!!!! When I went to college I was 17 and in pre-med and was called Doogie the whole year (33 now and nope not a doctor...lol)

Maggie--The weatherman is sooooo my favorite Ross segment. I love the hand gesture then the comment something like "I shouldn't do that" and then really love the comment that goes something like "the republicans taking over florida"...LOL

Daria--I am very pleased that you guys like the pottery. I just thought you might like a taste from "home" and I thought it would be rude of me to not send something for Ross, since he is who "brought us all together." Thank you very much for that Ross, I really get daily honest out loud laughter from either you or many of the bloggers and usually from both sources!

THANK YOU!!!

Yes, some restaurants are just too dark. By all means take a mini flashlight next time. I also think they make them way too cold in the summer. I can understand that when it is 95 degrees outside with the humidity at 90 %, & people want to go into a place & cool off while eating, it doesn't mean they have to set the A/C at 50 degrees. I can't enjoy my food when I am sitting there shivering. (I usually forget to bring a sweater with me)

Props to you for going all fancy last night. I myself would have chosen the bean dip!

Oopsie I forgot to finish my link for my smurfy blue name on that last comment.

Lol whabbear maybe it's because I shave the hair off my feet.

Hmmmmmmmmm.......Hairy Feet, and B(0)(0)B'S heading South for the Winter....I can see where this blog is headed......Downhill, from here!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: NBC Geeks, I am not giving up on the smiley's!!!!!!! :P :P :P

I will be out and about, no search parties Puh-LLeeze!

Ross- I love the silver lake district. My ex and I stayed with friends who lived there when we were thinking about moving to Cali!! I have a light on my key ring that looks like a spaceship.

Whabbear- You are too funny.

Sung
Kill the hobbit, Kill the hobbit!!

Blogging Hobbit- Congrats on being first!!

JACNY- I was about to put out an Amber Alert for you and most of the other regular chatters!!

whabbear, if you're my age you'll need more than bifocals! I've had the "progressive lenses" for more years than I care to say and I still need a flashlight!

Meghan, I read your post yesterday and it's still funny today! Your posts always make me giggle. :-)

Mikey, you mean there are times that you aren't goofy?! hugs to u!

Hi Everyone!! I don't know anything about dark restaurants except when the power goes off at McDonald's. Never been to a fancy restaurant except once when I was pregnant with my daughter 19 years ago - - - I think it was dark in there also!! I had a problem with all of the silverware!

But I did get to a movie last week!!!! I saw OPEN SEASON. That was my first "new" cartoon in a theater. I loved it!!! Went with my friend and her two girls. It was only $4.00!!!

My husband is cooking w/oil and I'm waiting to eat dinner. I'll know when the smoke alarm goes off! :) It should be soon cuz my eyes are starting water!!

Wendi

Enjoy your quiet time chillin' this week, Ross. Louise is going to love having you home to spoil her. Psychic Detectives is a good show.
Mikey, you are one jammin' fool! Thanks for sharing your little dance!

Good thing you didn't catch the menu on fire! I hate dark restaurants, I like to see what I'm eating. I have a clip on my keychain that is a flashlight. It works wonders when I'm walking in the dark or when I'm trying to unlock my car in the dark!

I'm still sick, but I finally went to a UI home game, we played our little hearts out against our biggest rivals, Boise State. We totally out played them until the very end, and they ended up winning 42-26 :( But it was sooo much fun, anyone who hasn't been to a college game needs to go!

Happy Saturday to Ross and the blogmates!!!

I've spent all Saturday just bein' a bum except I did manage to grab a shower. Since I'm on the Amish net, I've only now been able to fire up the hamsters. I can't wait to upgrade to Mennonite!!

Oh, how I love IKEA!!! I keep saying I'm gonna go there everytime I go to Dallas, but it hasn't happened yet and this next week doesn't look good either. :(
BTW, my dad is having more eye surg this next week to relieve the pressure in his eye from glaucoma. He's doing pretty well since the initial surg nearly two weeks ago. I'm glad. Thanks to the blog and chat mates who've expressed concern about him.

Mikey---Your Agador Turner routine was a hoot!!! I'm still ROFLMAO!!! Flea or David Gahan have nothihg on you....YOU ROCK!!!!

Keep chillin', y'all!!!

Hey all!

Busy day here. This morning we took the kids to a Halloween breakfast. It was FUN (for the kids anyway). Then we napped, watched Monsters, Inc., bought our Halloween candy and had Sushi for dinner. It was muy excellent!

Oh, and to see a picture of the kids in their Halloween costumes, go to my MySpace and look in my pics. The Lederhosen turned out GREAT!

Later Gators!

official Kuiper Belt Object (KBO)! --- LOL. Thanks for the nomination and all the hellos.

I decided to take another shot at the comment thing. I made a vow not to lurk. so.. here you go.

I would love a day of shopping with no dead line and some tv relaxing. It seems like I always have somewhere to go.

Hey Ross - I'm glad to hear you're taking some "you time" and being carefree! I don't think Kansas has dark restaurants (unless a tornado is passing through and takes the power out) so I can't relate to that problem. If I do happen to be looking for food in the dark, I have the fridge light illuminating the "menu." LOL!!

Our day was spent being lazy bums. I did go buy our dog, Zoe, a shirt and a jacket to keep her warm since it's getting colder and she gets the shivers (she's a little silky terrier - crossbreed of a yorkie and aussie)...LOL I almost bought her a cozy bed too, but decided to pass this time.

Hope you all are having a good weekend!!!!!

And Mikey -

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE DANCE IN THE TINA TURNER-ISH WIG!!!!!! I was literally laughing out loud!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok...catching breath now....in the nose, out the mouth...in the nose, out the mouth....

hey there! we've had a pretty laid back day here, too. my biggest adventure was taking both kids (2 years old & 3 months old) to the grocery store by myself. it's always a good time when my two year old starts throwing frozen food items out of our cart and at the other shoppers...

Ross, someone probably already told you this, but last night I was watching CNN and it went by on the ticker about you and Melissa Gilbert eating dog food.

Ross, I was soooo excited when I just logged onto AOL and found your picture of you and Melissa Gilbert eating dog food..LOL

Sounds like you had a great day!!! Have a super Sunday too!!!

Hey gang!

I cannot cannot cannot believe that CNN, yahoo and AOL (in addition to some news papers around the country) are reporting that story about Melissa Gilbert and I eating dog food! Who would have thought that THAT would be what finally got me some press?!?

I'm hanging in tonight doing laundry and cleaning house. Fun!

Ross

PS - Where's Glynis?!? Should we put out an Amber Alert for her?!?

That is triple awesome Ross!!! Who'da thunk?

Ross, didn't your mom ever feed you? Geez....

Hi Ross,

Sounds like fun..
I love shopping!
also on line..
Ross , its so true about the darkness at restaurants
i dont like that
its down right RUDE
and i cant see the menu!
I like to make sure my fork is clean too...laughing

BRING THE MINI FLASHLIGHT

smiles &peace

Debbie

Lemon Deb - Your posts remind me of how it feels to sail! Sun, sea, breezes, waves, fresh air. Thanks/Peace Keep them coming. I do enjoy them.

Lol @ Mom_Ross! Has your headache gone away yet? I hope so.

I hate those dark restaurants! I have a hard enough time seeing as it is! I have a credit card-size thing that has a magnifying glass in it. My mom got it for me from QVC. I carry it with me everywhere. It even has a light in it, so it's perfect for those dark places with small print menus. I may look a little silly but I'm tired of ordering the same thing, only because it's all I remember from the menu. That's what I used to do b4 I got this card.

Hope you're all having a good weekend! Mine has been peaceful and restful. We did go out for a brief time this morning for my daughter's soccer game, which we named "Mud Bowl '06"! The field was so GROSS, and the kids were a mess when the game was over. They all thought it was great though. Thank goodness for Zout!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend eveyone!

Thanks Hobbit - Just the cold leftovers - yechy draining, cough, etc. But tomorrow should be much better!! How are you doing?

Silly pj--Thanks for giggling. this place always makes me giggle and I am glad to pass it along.

Mom Ross--never heard them called "cold leftovers" before, I will be stealing that phrase and sooooo using it. Glad you are on the tail end though!

Ross-- Do they mention your blogg in any of the press??? I am waiting to say hello to the flood!

ROFLMAO@MOM_ross

mom_ross,
thanks for your comments on my blog!
Ross, I HATE dark restaurants.. it is so annoying to not only not be able to read the menu, but to not be able to see what you are reading! argh... My cell phone has a flashlight in it, so that helps with the menu part, fortnately. We have one favorite restaurant that is well a little pricey, so we go on special occasions and just every once in a while when we want a treat. there is something a lil naughty about it!
just got back from a 50's/60's party in our neighborhood. it was the perfect weather.. had a nice fire goin.. dancin, food.. LOTS of fun!
Have a nice haitus! Hope you got my message about the show! Wish I could go with ya! Happy sunday everyone

****Amber Alert****

Where are the Beegees and Joey?

LOL @ Mom_ross about Ross getting fed.

Agador/Mikey---The Beegees and Joey? Sounds like a new "lite rock" band. And if they were a band, they could be out on tour......or not.

LOL @ JFK's 2 y/o throwing frozen food @ other shoppers.
****DUCK!!!! incoming frozen peas & carrots!!!****
Oh, my!!! Gotta love them there chilluns!!

from your sleep-deprived, fun-loving bum,
jno

P.S.: Have a wonderful Sunday, peeps!!

LOL @ myself...
I thought that Mikey's wig was Ozzy Osbourne until the music started playing.

JNO - I live near Dallas but have never been to Ikea. My mom has to have eye surgery next week also. I posted a comment to you about my website yesterday. I don't have a "contact me" thing because I am not that bright but if you leave a comment then I will email you back. I am glad that you are going to get Mennonite internet (can't believe I said that and people remember).

What ever happened to Joey with the Amish internet?

dammy

OMG, Mikey! Laughed my ass off at the video.

But I feel the need to confirm something. You don't have Jody Foster trapped in a pumped-out well below the shop, right? Right?

Whabbear- It put's the lotion on it's skin or it get's the hose again!! LMAO

LOL @ Whab & Mikey's Hannibal reference!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!

I'm still laughing!!!!!!
