Little Miss "Columnist"

Happy weekend kids! So it was kind of a quiet week. I had only one kid here all day everyday for the whole week. The rest were hit and miss, only here for a couple of hours, if at all. A very nice break. That's the thing about doing small family daycare. The odds are at some point during the year you'll end up with a quiet day...

Other news this week, I officially have my General Hospital blog up and running. I was a little surprised at how much traffic generated from day one. Not huge or anything, but I got twenty hits the first day! People love their General Hospital I guess! I was inspired to start it after applying for a guide position at About.com running their GH website. I didn't get it, and was a bit disappointed (obviously the GH site is a decent money maker with the amount of traffic it generates). So I figured why not just make my own GH site, and see what I can do with it. The next time an opportunity comes up for a soap related site, I'll be all set. Besides, I think some small part of me hopes that the writers over at GH will see my complaints and suddenly start writing better material.... It could happen...

Speaking of writing, it looks like I may be getting to interview The Coreys!!! (shriek! giggle! swoon!) That's right, little ol me just might be interviewing both the Feldmaster and The Haimster for reality shack for the second season premier of A&E's The Two Coreys. I should be getting a screener of the show and then if all works out get to interview both Coreys, of course the will not do interviews together, so it'll be two separate interviews.... What do I ask? These are guys who I thought the sun rose & set with as a kid. I even saw Feldman live & in concert at Stoneridge Mall!!! Heck, my son is watching Goonies right now! I hope it works out! Keep your fingers crossed! In the mean time, hit up Reality Shack to catch up on the first season of The two Coreys and to get your hilarious fill of all things reality show related!
I wrote about my experience seeing Corey Feldman in concert over on JamsBio...

Well I'm officially a columnist for JamsBio's Biolog! I got an email yesterday. It's a paid thing (W-9 and everything!). I'm not about to quit the day job or anything, but it's something!! I can actually say "I'm a columnist". So I'm no Carrie Bradshaw or anything, but it's a nifty start... I'm also getting paid a little extra to help load up their new game they added to the site too. It's terribly addictive I recommend trying it immediately...

I am an Entertainment Weekly junkie, and through it have found a new BFF (Ok, so we'll never actually meet or anything, but in my mind she's my new BFF) Diablo Cody! She is hilarious, and when it comes to taste in pop culture I think we share the same brain... In her column, "Binge Thinking" in this weeks issue she talked about the return of 90210! Specifically the coup that is the CW getting both Tori Spelling & Jennie Garth to reprise their legendary Beverly Hills roles for the spin off coming to the CW this fall. Every 30-ish gal our age knows that this is huge news. My pop culture world would only be complete if they somehow made it known to the 90210 masses that Dylan has left Kelly & returned to be with Brenda in Paris. In your face Kelly Taylor!

Knocked Up & Snuffed...

First off, I have a startling admission to make. In an earlier post in regards to my favorite show of all time, 21 Jump Street, being made into a movie I made a few "comments" about not being a Judd Apatow fan (see post here). It was wrong of me to be so quick to judge, having not actually seen any of his bigger movies. I say this because last night I saw Knocked Up. I had absolutely no inclination to see it when it came out in theaters or DVD. I prefer my "unplanned pregnancy freak out" movies with a little Hugh Grant in them for good measure (Nine Months). Be that as it may, while channel surfin last night I came across Knocked Up only about 15 minutes into it. I decided to forego my pre-conceived notion of it being guy humor, and give it a shot. I'm glad I did.

So maybe I'm still not convinced that Judd Apatow is the comic genius of our generation (That's right Entertainment Weekly, I will not bow to your every whim!), I have to say I was impressed. The dialogue and characters were eerily realistic, which I guess is good for Apatow, maybe bad for me... Infact the characters were too realistically written, if that makes any sense. It almost seemed strange to have characters in a movie talking, so normally. There was a lot of cussing, and some of the jokes were potty humor, and some of the mean things said during the fights, well none of them came across forced, it all came across very normal.

Also being that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Paul Rudd, I couldn't help but enjoy Knocked Up.

I still say NO to 21 Jump Street being a comedy (I'm putting together a petition that should be floating around the internet shortly), and Jonah Hill, well I'm still not happy about his involvement. I'm convinced that Seth Rogan would do a much better Penhall than Jonah Hill. Again, as long as it's not a comedy... Anyhow, apologies to Apatow and the guys...

Friday night we made a trip to Borders. It's been tooooo long since I've been to a book store. I could've walked around there for hours and hours. I picked up Chuck Palahniuck's new one, Snuff. I've only got about 30 pages left. Good book, creepy subject matter as always. Like I always say, with Chuck, it's about how he writes that captivates me, not so much what he writes. He could write stereo instructions and I'd be enthralled!

I also took Patrick on his first trip to the comic book store, Fantasy Books & Games. I don't think he realized that there was a store for all things Superhero related. It was kind of cool. When I was a kid, it was called Fact, Fiction, And Fantasy, and was the most awesome place in the world. I used to love going there, and browsing the fantasy books forever!!!

JamsBio is holding a contest of sorts. They're trying to get people to generate traffic, and whoever gets the most traffic to their memories gets some cool prizes (I don't know what, but I'm hoping for concert tickets)! So if you haven't checked it out yet, or are looking for something to kill some time, check out my latest memories over on JamsBio.

And So It Goes

Hip Hip Hooray! Our debt has been discharged! That's right The Harvey Family Bankruptcy is finally OVER!!! We went to court on Wednesday, for what turned out to be the most anticlimactic 7 minutes of my life. We were so nervous, and our lawyer (God love the guy) had us expecting this very lengthy and detailed procedure. Nope, he asked us a few generic questions, and gave us his sympathies for both being self employed right now (during these trying economic times). After that he simply said "You're excused". It was so fast that we just kind of sat there for a second. We couldn't believe that was it. I called our lawyer the next day and he sais "What are you callin me for, You're done!". Then he confirmed that our case had been approved and our debt had been discharged. YAY! I'm just happy to say, it's over. Chapter over.

So I wrote my first blog post for JamsBio's blog, check it and leave me some comments!

I heard something HORRIBLE in MSNBC. A story about this woman in Atlanta who passed away after a car accident. She had been rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta and after she passed away, SOMEONE stole her rings!!! They weren't any rings of course, they were diamond and platinum and of course she had custom designed them herself to be a symbol of the love her and her husband shared while he was away as  a Navy Pilot. No he's alone with their 4 and 1 year old sons, and someone has taken the one thing she had to leave her boys. I put myself in her shoes, and I would want my kids to have them, I mean it would be VERY important to me. There is a reward being offered of $25,000. I certainly hope that they get returned. How awful is that?

Here's The News Story

Was anyone watching Rock the Cradle? Yea, I know me neither, but I really wanted to be! I did catch episodes here and there, and was very pleased to see Chloe (Olivia Newton-John's daughter) and Blaze (Dee Schneider's son) were the finalists. Oh yea, and that Crosby kid (Kenny Loggin's son) who I thought was nice, but no stage presence. I mean AT ALL. Zero, zilch, nada. Yet somehow, he won? Really ? First C. Thomas Howell has resorted to doing card tricks and now a non presence on the stage wins over two very unique and electric performers? Really? 

By the by, for those of who interested in the cosmic happenings over at JamsBio, might be interested to know that my brother's old girlfriend is moving back to CA and they're going to be together! You can read all about the very magical, yet true story here,

JamsBio: Working Fate's Magic

I registered for school this week, and am taking my assessment tests tomorrow. My immediate plan is just to get my associate teacher certificate, so i can teach pre-school. But I'm going to take advantage of the First-5 program (pays people who work with kids ages 0-5 to go to school) which tries to steer you towards getting your AA. I'm nervous about the assessment, it's been soooo long since I've taken any kind of test. EEEK. Wish me luck...

Bargain Books & Cosmic Tales From JamsBio

So today we went to a book sale over at the library, and bought a bagload of stuff for a whopping $5!! Man I love that. We got some cool stuff but my score was a sweet hard copy first edition of The DaVinci Code! 50 cents! Everytime I've read it, I've had to borrow it. Yay! I also got Angels & Demons for 10 cents! Haven't read it yet, but have wanted to ever since the first time I read DaVinci Code. Score. I love book sales.

So over at my new internet hang-out, JamsBio there have been some strange happenings. On Thursday I got a comment on a memory I wrote about my big brother. I went to read it and can you believe, it was an old girlfriend of his from YEARS ago. A friend told her about JamsBio months ago and she was finally checking it out, she clicked on a tag marked brothers and read my story. It wasn't until she got to the end that she saw the picture of me and my brother. Strange enough? It gets better, the picture I just happened to choose, of all the 30 years of pictures I have of me and my brother, was a picture taken while she was right there! Still not spooked? Well it gets better, we were just talking about this old girlfriend not two weeks ago, because I now live in the same house that she grew up in... Wait, there's more. So after a couple of days of talking with her via myspace, I finally decide to call big brother and tell him. What does he tell me before I can even get the story out? That he had just sat down to read the story I wrote about him. Another 5 minutes and he would have seen the message she left for himself... So what's to come of this strange cosmic happening? I don't know yet, but I highly suggest you all get your butts over to JamsBio and see what cosmic things transpire for you...

By the by, my sister has ventured onto JamsBio as well so check it out, Candice's JamsBio.

Once you are on leave me a comment and let me know so I can add you to my favorites.

Also, who has seen Rock The Cradle? It's on MTV and is American Idol meets one of those E! THS about children of rockstars. I found it strangely addictive. I think I'm in lust with Dee Schneider's son. Olivia Newton John's daughter is a little green, but really haunting. I mean in a good way. She did Never Tear Us Apart by INXS, and wow.  It was haunting. Not the best singer of the group, but something stuck with me about the performance. I'm intrigued to see what she and the rest of them do next...

A Pretty Good Day..

Well today was just that, a pretty good day. We finally got a call form our lawyer that (insert drum roll please) WE HAVE A COURT DATE!! Yay! May 7th at 10:30 AM the next (and hopefully final) chapter of the Harvey Family Bankruptcy 2008 will begin! Boy, you know you're burned out when you're so desperate for a break that you look forward to a day in bankruptcy court....

I just got back from dinner with an old dear dear dear friend at Chevy's. There is nothing that rejuvenates you better than dinner with an old gal pal! It was great to just chill and gossip and catch up, with no kids running around and just being me. Very nice. Next time she's here in Cali we're going to do it again. 

This kind of brings me to my new thing I'm doing on Sundays. I'm making it a point to call an old friend every Sunday. This may seem strange, but I never get a chance to chat with my girls, so I'm making a point to get a good girl chat in once a week (no my mom & sister do not count, I talk to them everyday). It's good for the soul, ya know?

Have you been to JamsBio yet? GO NOW! NOW NOW NOW! Please register and leave me some feedback, and then write a few of your own... Not to mention reading the myriad of great stories on there! If you're looking for more cool JamsBio's to read check my favorites list on my home page. 

I have decided that I'm going back to school in the fall to get my ECE units to teach pre-school. I think I'll be more than ready to stop doing daycare once Cheyanne starts kindergarten, so I'm trying to make a plan now. I love being home with my own kids, but I think 2 more years of these 11 hour days with other people's kids is about all I have left in me... I love em all, but man I'm exhausted these days.
