Howudoin’?  Just thought I’d check in…and to also let you know that I will haved 2 tickets to see Three Dog Night at The Theater at Silver Spurs Arena, September 4th at 8 pm.  I will also have an interview with the drummer, Pat Bautz, who, by the way, is a Melbourne native!  How cool!

 So tune in this Sunday at 8am…Joy to the World!!!

Howudoin’?  I’m FAB-U-LOUS!!! Thanks so much for askin’!  And I’M DRY!!  Woo Hoo!

Due to a technical difficulty (which is a nice way of saying I made a mistake!), there is only 30 minutes of this weeks show recorded….I hit the wrong button on the board!!  Oh well….everyone makes mistakes, and it’s nice to be in the majority!

Tough week around here in Florida thanks to Tropical Storm Fay…she suprised EVERYONE!!!  Some places in the state of Florida got over 30 inces of rain  30 INCHES!!!  that’s 2 and a half feet!  We were lucky to not have any water enter our house, but there are many in Brevard County who were not so lucky.  It was, in my opinion, a good test to see if you and your surrounding s are ready for a hurricane.  We found one leak, and I had the hubby caulk it up right away. I’m sure that there are a lot of people doing the same thing!

Most of the show I spoke about the storm, what a surprise it was and how our neighbors reacted.  It’s always nice to see people come together in the wake of a disaster.  Some times the worst of times brings out the best in people!

 I also commented on the fact that CaseyAnthony, the other of little Caylee Anthony, was bailed out of jail by well-known bounty-hunter Leonard Padilla.  He seems to think that if she is out of jail, around her family and knows that her conversations are not being recorded, she can help “find” her daughter.  Well boys and girls, I belive that she knows EXACTLY where her daughter is, and I fear that she is dead, and that not only the mother knows, so do the grandparents.  They are now protecting their daughter since they have lost their granddaughter.  Do I feel for them?  You bet I do.  Is it right? Absolutley not.  Time to come clean, help find closure to this sad situation and punish those who had a part in it.   That’s MY opinion….we’ll see what happens when the truth finally does come out.

Congratulations to Dave from Rockledge…he won 2 tickets to see Three Dog Night at the Silver Spurs Arena on Thursday September 4th!  Way to go Dave!  Rock on!

 Have a FANTASTIC week…..do something nice for someone, it makes you feel good!!

I’ll be peekin’ in during the week…;)

Thanks Barry Manilow!!!  :)  Well….we are all fine after our brush with HISTORICAL rainmaker Fay….We got 25 inches of rain!  25 INCHES!!  Some of the water in our development was thigh deep…but thankfully none got into the house!  WHEW!!

So, time to dry out and wait for the next one to come!  BRING IT ON!! WE’RE READY!!!

My grass is going to be the greenest!!  (along with my pool!)

HOWUDOIN’?  I’ fab-u-lous…thanks for askin’!  It’s nice to get away for a couple of days to the ole neighborhood….but it’s great to be home!  I spent 5 days in New York…actually stayed in a beautiful brownstone in Harlem…just beautiful.  The weather was gorgeous, the food stupendous and the relaxation well deserved.  But as Dorothy said to the wizard…”There’s no place like home!”

I touched on a couple of items today….how turning 50 isn’t what it used to be.  Madonna is 50!  I’ll be 47 on Monday (8/18) and I look good too…it’s a mindset of our generation of staying healthy and the benefits that come with it.  NO plastic surgery for me…..something about injecting botchelism into my body that just doesn’t sound like a good idea to me (that’s what Botox is)…I’ll have facials and peels, use creams and sunscreen….I like my lines…it’s my character and my life….no Stepford wife here!!

They arrested 4 people in Titusville on drug charges….which they ran out of a DAY CARE CENTER!  Which, by the way, was funded by the FDLE!  AMAZING!  They found guns, ammunition and drugs IN THE DAY CARE, where children could have gotten to it.  It took six months to do the investigation.  I think they need to step up and change the amount of time needed to gather evidence…..God forbid one of those kids grabbed the drugs thinking it was candy or found the guns!  Why not 1 to 2 months instead of 6….surely they can gather enough evidence in that amount of time. 

Along the same subject….co owner of Main Street Pub in downtown Melbourne pled guilty to federal drug charges, so good for him stepping up and taking responsibility for his wrong doings…BUT…..alot of the property, including Main Street Pub, was bought with proceeds from drug sales.  According to his 20 page plea agreement, it’s possible if he pays restitution to the government, he can keep his properties.  I think that anything that was purchased with drug money, it should be auctioned off and the monies given to charity.

 Congratulations to all the athletes particpating in the Olympics and Thank you!  You have given me new hope that with commitment and dedication, you can do whatever you put your mind to!  All I want to do is lose 15 to 20 lbs!  Not going for a gold medal like they did, but if they can do it, so can I!!  So, starting tomorrow….to the gym I go!!   I also will be purchasing a Weight Watchers  cookbook…I had a meal in New York that was cooked for me by one of the hosts of where I was staying.  She is a total believer in Weight Watchers, follows it consistently, and what a meal it was!  Grilled Salmon with tomato salsa, grilled red potatoes, grilled yellow and red peppers with capers and olives and a salad to die for!  All Weight Watchers receipes…so delicious!!  And I was totally full and satisfied the portions.  Trust me boys and girls…you can eat great and still lose weight, and i am going to do my best to prove it!!

 Congratulations to Thomas from Palm Bay….he won two tickets to see Three Dog Night at the Silver Spurs Arena at Osceloa Heritage Park on September 4th….YEA!  Jerimiah was a bullfrog!  ENJOY!!

Off I go to get the kids ready for school!!  HURRAY!!!!  Have a fabulous week and I will do my best to check in!

Howudoin’?  I’m fabulous and ready for my trip to NY..thanks for askin!  Flying should be an experience!

What a week to go away!!  So many great stories to talk about…here’s my two cents!

Obama says check your tire pressure!  It helps us become less dependent on foriegn oil, not off shore drilling, you silly!! (God help us..)

 The Olympics have begun!  Who’s gonna watch?

Casey Anthony is the biggest piece of crap and I fear that Caylee Anthony is dead, and her grandparents know something about it…..

John Edwards admits to an affair…and are we surprised?  Do we care?  Is this important to us?

A death row inmate in Ohio says “he’s too fat to execute.”  He claims that officials will have difficulty finding his veins and that the execution will be excruciating.  I can only hope that it is more excruciating than his violent rampage, rape and murder of 2 young girls back in 1986.  They should have executed him THEN….this way he would not have had some much time to become a FAT disgusting piece of waste.

 I’ll keep my eyes on these stories and we’ll catch up next Sunday morning at 8am!

In the meantime…have a FABULOUS week and I’ll eat some NY style pizza for ya!

Howudoin’?  I’m Fabulous, thanks for askin……and thanks for checking into this weeks blog…

Finally….looks like there may be some relief for those of us who are stuck with a cell phone carrier that we hate….A Californa judge ruled that Sprint Nextel had to REPAY customers who paid early termination fees…which are totally out of control….whether you were a customer for 6 months or for 22 months (of a 24 month contract)…if you wanted to terminate, it cost the same amount of money!  How ridiculous….between $150 to $250 dollars!  Now, it looks like before they are TOLD to prorate the fees, the cell phone companies are doing it on their own!  YES!!  Now, you should be able to make a change without paying through the nose for it!

Congress has decided that it is just toooo hard for them to make any decision to help out us pions with any kind of legislation for energy savings…so instead, they voted themselves a 5 week vacation, which, of course, definately helps me out….with my decision to find out who each and everyone of them are and make sure that I vote NO for their tucis to sit in that seat for the next session….and so should you.  Be an informed voter and go out and make your voice and vote heard….GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!

A judge in Ft Lauderdale Florida revoked the bond that he originally gave to a child molestor that was convicted on 13 counts…he says that the information that was originally given to him as wrong and he decided to revoke the bond and have him brought in.  I think it was because there was such an outcry from the community when they found out that this convicted sexual predator was released back into the community, without so much as an ankle bracelet, to prey on their children.  This man was a teacher…very knowledgeable of how to manipulate children to do what he asked….and these people, IMHO (in my humble opinion, for those of you who are not up in texting lingo) CANNOT be rehabilitated.  It’s not like quitting smoking or changing your eating habits.  The part of the brain that controls sexual urges is just wired wrong and it is in their nature to lust for kids.  They need to be removed from temptation…and even then i still don’t think that will help them.  But now that this sexual offender is behind bars, the boy and his family can start to work on getting past this horrible event and move on with their lives.  Let’s keep him and all the others who have suffered, in our prayers.

 I’m off to New York on Saturday August 9th…so you’ll hear a repeat for next week….

 Have a FANTABULOUS week and i’ll be checking in!!!
