Heidi Klum and I Are So Much Alike, We Should Be BFFs!

Heidi Klum Halloween Christmas

  1. Heidi hosts an annual Halloween bash.  I organized “Trick or Treat, Give Me Something Good To Eat.
  2. Frankenstorm postponed both of our functions.
  3. Heidi rescheduled for December 3rd and arrived in full Halloween costume with Santa escorting her.  I revamped the idea into “Jolly Old Saint Nick Or Treat, Give Me Something Good To Eat” and rescheduled for December 18.
  4. Heidi’s party was held in New York and was sponsored by a vodka company.  I won a trip to New York sponsored by Voli Light vodka company, partly because they read about my idea.
  5. Heidi’s party was full of Hollywood superstars.  Mine will be full of real superstars (kids in need).
  6. Heidi’s Hollywood superstar community donated to the Red Cross.  My neighborhood community donated to the real superstars.
  7. Heidi is a famous supermodel.  I am a…ummmm…well…hmmmm….

OK, maybe lunch with another celebrity isn’t in my future.  But we both DO agree that Christmas in July is sooooo yesterday’s news.  Halloween in December is the next big thing!

Now let’s just hope Mother Nature cooperates this time…

Read Band Books Week

I keep hearing so much about some “Read Band Books Week.”  Since everyone seems to be talking about it, I thought I should join in and read one.  I decided Rock would be a fun band type to choose.  The title of this sounds perfect for the occasion…

ROCK RULES: THE ULTIMATE ROCK BAND BOOK by Michele Rosenthal (amazon.com)

What?  I misunderstood what they meant?

Oh, I get it.  It is “Reed Band Books Week.”  Hmmm…well I found this book.  Doesn’t sound as interesting.  But I guess I will read this…

REED INSTRUMENTS by Jeremy Montagu (tower.com)

Oh, that still isn’t right?

“Read Band Books Weak?”   Really?  It isn’t very nice to call sisters “WEAK” but I guess I will have to read this instead…

BAND OF SISTERS by Cathy Gohlke (edgyinspirationalromance.com)

Huh?  That still isn’t correct??

Dang homophones.

OK, I finally get it now.  But geesh, they didn’t even use spell check…

READ BANNED BOOKS WEEK (1×57.com)

Now I guess the next thing you are going to tell me is that there is no such thing as “Tell Band Stories Week???”

Because this one time, at band camp…

READ WHATEVER YOU LIKE and LIKE WHATEVER YOU READ! 

Read a banned book.  Read a band book.  It should be your choice.

I think I will still choose to read the “Ultimate Rock Band” book.  Dude.

ROCK                                                             AND                                                ROLL!!!!

The Trillion Dollar Question

I usually don’t post about politics, but…

Eric (age 9): “I don’t understand political commercials.  One will say ‘Obama will raise taxes for middle class America’ and then right after that there will be a commercial saying ‘Romney will raise taxes for the middle class.’  How are you supposed to know what they will actually do if they are President??”

That, my dear, is the million trillion two trillion dollar question.  If you can figure out the answer, the voters will elect YOU in November!

How can you tell if a politician is lying?

His lips are moving.
