Something to share w/ the men in your life...

Men's Health Magazine released  '40 Unwritten Rules To Live By'. Everything from tips on fashion, women, wine and more. Check out the list here.  Share with the men in your lives and see what they think about these rules. 

30. When choosing a bottle of wine to bring to a dinner party, spend between 10 and 15 dollars.
That's for a bottle, not a gallon.

 




Ted's take on the list: 12,21,25,,,The rest are complete crap.

12. There will be times when good neighbors are more important than a good neighborhood.

21. You will never become a rock star.

25. When running in the park on a hot day, do not take off your shirt if you are a really hairy sonofa-b!

Unusual gift in the 'Loser Oscar Goodie Bag'...
The 2013 Oscars had the cheapest goodie bag.  It's value was around $48K, which is way different from $90K just a couple of years ago.  Although the stars have to pay taxes on it now, so a lower value might be better.  The Oscars gave this goodie bag to Oscar Losers. It included things like $15K open bar event good for 100 guests,  weight loss retreat valued at $4K, circus classes for the kiddos.. the most unusual goodies was  the 'Vampire Facelift'! The VFL is having your blood drawn and then having it/plasma re-injected into your face to plump up the skin.  HHMMM... 

Here are 2 of my favorite dresses. I know Halle's wasn't a favorite by many, but she owned it when she walked on the Oscar stage. I think she looked FABULOUS!   Sandra Bullock too, even if the Oscar envelope was giving her a  hard time.  It was a great way to show off her guns'.  They both look amazing! Wonder what they think of the 'Vampire Facelift'?

Don't tell Ted...

Don't tell  my honey Ted I had a Valentine's day moment w/ Ronald. Our secret... I got this moment w/ Ronald when I dropped by the Ronald McDonald House w/ some Valentine Cards for the kids! Big Thanks to everyone who made them. Ronald Thanks you too!







 

You created some Big Love & Smiles that are very much needed for many families.  When I was there I meet Brian & Amy with their 2 year old Hayden.  They had just gotten back from Dell Children's hospital from an appointment for Hayden.  When we gave them a Valentine made with LOVE from folks in ATX, they immediately smiled . Hayden was happy too, plus filled with some energy to go, go, go!   They were very Thankful for the extra love sent to their family!   Y'all ROCK! 




Thanks to everyone who got cards in to make Valentine's Day Cards For Kids 2013 sponsored by

" The ONLY disability in life is....

a bad attitude.   Our GM Alan sent an email this morning that contained a link to this video.  Matthew Jeffers a huge Baltimore Ravens fan wrote a letter to the Ravens, his favorite team when they were losing games.   Looks like Matthew's letter worked for the 'S-Bowl Winning Ravens'! When you get a chance check this video out.  It puts things in perspective no matter what's going on.

A reason you could be tired...

We lose around 33 minutes a week more of sleep because of heavy traffic.  We get up earlier to avoid being late for work, because traffic sucks.  I have to agree on that today.  I woke up earlier so I could wash my hair and still be able to get to work on time.  Click here  for more 411! 

I'll probably loose more sleep after enjoying the 2nd season premiere of SMASH!!! Are you excited for it?

Here's some Goo for the weekend..

Johnny R./ GGDs did a surprise drop by to play a couple of tunes in our Lounge!  I LOVE MY JOB! The Goo Goo Dolls have a new album coming out May 7th called 'Magnetic'. The first single 'Rebel Beat'. He played it for us, and then he got in some classic Goo w/ Broadway. Check them out! Johnny is such a cool HOTTIE!! 

(Unofficially sponsored by 'DROID'.. you'll catch it around 1 minute mark during the new tune 'Rebel Beat'.  Love finding out new things about my new phone in use.  Now to find that annoying setting and get it hushed up! Interrupting Johnny... GGGRRR!)

 Are you up for a scoop for breakfast?  HHHHMMMM..tough decision.. what flavor? or better yet flavors?  Figure if you eat it early, then you have the whole day to burn it off right?
