Dudes, I'm a Godmother!

Believe it or not, I'm a Godmother! And no, not a fairy godmother like my friend D suggested. I'm a 100% legit Godmother. I'm ready to give the pope a high-five and do a little Snoopy dance in celebration of that fact. I'm so excited, I might write Francis Ford Coppolla and encourage him to direct "The Godmother." It can be some sort of weird spin-off of "The Godfather" movies and maybe it can be set in the Hispanic community. Just a thought....

Anyway, my sister, A, chose me to be the Godmother of her son, B. Man, I was flipped out when she asked me. But I jumped at the chance and I'm honored to do it. My brother, J, is the Godfather.

Gotta go... many Godmotherly things to do with my nephew today.

The Power of 18

Ok dudes, get a load of this. M, the hottie firefighter, met me on July 18. Then he came to visit me on August 18. Today is September 18 and as I type this he is on his way to see me. It wasn't planned, it just sorta ended up working out that way. Isn't that kick ass? But what does that mean? Is it bad luck like those cursed lottery numbers on Lost? Or is it good luck like those people who play favorite numbers and win millions? I don't know.

What I do know is that I like him. He is close, so close, to perfect. M popped up out of nowhere and blindsided me. I haven't like a guy in a long time - so I just don't know what do with all of this. Any ideas?

Here I am at Sam's Boathouse in Addison, TX.

I'm going to see OPRAH

Dudes, get a load of this... My friend, L, is engaged to this guy who works for the ABC Network in NYC. He used his "connections" and got me hooked up with some Oprah tickets. I'm going on October 26 with L and my two sisters. Isn't that kick ass!!!!!!????? This is a dream come true for me. I've been trying to see Oprah ever since I was in college.

Unfortunately, Harpo Studios does not release the topic of the show in advance. You just sorta find out when you get there. But I'm hoping it is something cool. Here is a list of acceptable topics for me:
  • Jack Black - a real man with a cute tummy
  • Super Psychotic Oprah Fans In the House!
  • Blogs - the people who read them, the weirdos who write them
  • The Men of Rescue Me - Some Without Shirts

But you know...those are just off the top of my head. I'll take anything really. Well, that's not entirely true. There are some topics I would not like. Such as the following:

  • Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow Wedding Extravaganza
  • Irregular Bowel Movements
  • Tom Cruise's Open Forum
  • When Your Spouse Wants A Sex Change

Anyway, expect a full report with photos towards the end of October. Go Oprah!!!

Just stuff...

Some really cool stuff has been going on lately...let's get rolling with it....

I got a kick ass TiVo for freeeeeee! I was all excited and I even forked over the Three Hundy lifetime subscription fee. Then that TiVo crapped out on me. I called customer service and they actually told me I had a "gremlin" in my TiVo box. Man, that Gremlins movie scared the shit out of me as a child. How the hell could that dude say that to me? Anyway, I almost gave up entirely and got my money back. Then I even thought about taking the TiVo apart just so I could see the proverbial gremlin. But I got it all working again. And I LOVE me some TiVo now. That thing is going to change my whole perspective of television. The shows I used to give up on -just because of bad timing- will now have a chance.

Man, I signed up for some belly dancing classes. I shit you not. We meet on Thursday nights from 6 - 7 p.m. for 8 weeks straight - my first class is at the end of the month. I have to buy a scarf set and one of those skirts with the bells on the hips. How cool is that? I was kinda bummed about the class time because I'm gonna miss the first part of The O.C. But that's what TiVo is for...right?? See what I mean about changing my television perspective?

I went to the MAC Cosmetics store in a mall near my house. Girls in the world, hear my words: get to a MAC Store and load up. That stuff is like magic in a bottle/powder/pencil etc. Truly amazing stuff. Anyway... my girl friend G told me that MAC was having some kind of promotional event at the store. So we went. As soon as we walked in, they offered us a drink. And it was not some watered down kool-aid in a dixie cup. It was Bacardi Limon with punch! So we hit the drinks right away. Then this dude came out wearing nothing but the tiniest shorts I've ever seen. This dude must have stolen the shorts from Lara Flynn Boyle. Anyway, he had his whole body painted with a variety of browns, yellows and oranges. His hair had twigs and moss in it...he kinda looked like a hunky tree that came to life. Except that he was carrying a tray of fruit. I felt weird taking food from him so I declined and stuck to the Bacardi.

I've got some cool things coming up soon... I was asked to be a Godmother to my nephew. That's at the end of the month. Oh! And I'm planning a visit to see M the hottie firefighter. M lives about 6 hours from me so this is going to take some serious planning and serious gas money. Talk to you guys soon.
