What will be next? This morning I was watching the news and heard that if you use your cell phone for more then 30 minutes a day that you might get brain cancer....this new study says that you should never have the phone closer then a few inches away from your head or use earphones. Don't let children play with phones either.

Will this study make you change your cell phone use?

I did something this morning I rarely do, I opened spam mail about my horoscope for the day. I used to live by my horoscope - my entire day would be either good or bad depending on the little words someone typed that didn't know me and everyone else born from November 22 through December 21. I would get so twisted by these words. Today I felt myself slipping back into the same funk by the words below.....

Friday, May 27th, 2011 -- All would be fine today, but someone may not be playing according to your rules. It feels as if a raincloud is moving in on your big game, even though it's still sunny. Don't let fear dampen your enthusiasm. Instead of trying to outrun bad weather, head off developing problems by facing negativity directly. Avoiding blame now will have a positive impact on the final outcome.

So I could be a glass half full kind of girl and go with the positive final outcome in the last line of this obvious gospel of my life, but those words "would be fine" and "raincloud" and "fear dampen your enthusiasm" were glaring off the screen in front of me. It is enough to really screw me up...why did I even open that spam mail???

Do you read your horoscope daily?

Do you find yourself reeling all day because of words someone make for a mass group of people?

Am I the only one crazy???

Help me out here....tell me I am not crazy!

WANNA LAUGH?!?!

The other day I took Boyle to Atlantic City for some gambling.

We found one table where no one was gambling & the dealers look bored. 

Boyle walks over & says to the dealers, "Hope you fellas don't mind.... I feel much luckier when I am nude."

With that she strips completely naked, rolls the dice, & yells, "Mama needs new clothes!!"

Then she hollers, "YES! YES! I WON! I WON!"

She jumps up & down & hugs both dealers. With that she quickly picks up her clothes & her winnings & splits.

The dealers stare at each other, dumbfounded. Finally one asks the other, "What did she roll?"

The other answers, "I thought YOU were watching!"

Moral of the story: Not all blondes are dumb.

I am not sure what it is about these ladies, but I am hooked! Last night's episode was totally insane!

Okay - so Lee & D'rita are no longer fighting, so what do you do? Of course you have sexy pictures  professionally taken of yourself to send to your husband in jail! I do have to agree with her, that body is slammin!

Renee is finally whoring out her online service for having cards automatically sent to your favorite guy or gal incarcerated! Jail Mail will probably be on NASDAQ within the year, especially since Renee alone admitted to sending over 5,000 letters and cards to her friends and family that have been incarcerated over the past 20 or so years. That's a lot of writing!

We move on to the "SUNDAY DINNER SIT DOWN"...there was no other way for it to go down then the way it did! Carla basically calls Renee out by calling her a liar about the b/s between Renee and Carla's boyfriend, and if there is anything in this world Renee is not, is a liar! Carla concedes to fibber - Renee agrees to embelishing somethings. Then some how "Bitch" is brought into the lingo and the shoes are off!! No, really the shoes came off - the only way D'rita thought she could pull Carla and Renee off of each other was to take off her shoes, D'rita likes to be comfortable before she starts beating the crap out of people! Oh, I almost forgot about Karen! Karen rolls up on the dinner party to actually hear the yelling outside! She walks into Renee's house and immediately is in the mix! That's right Carla - your boyfriend had his finger so far up my a$$ at your birthday party! Turns out Carla's boyfriend has groped everyone.

So we leave this episode with Carla and Renee being pulled apart by Karen and D'rita - my bet is that those two will be brawling next Sunday!! The only thing I am looking forward to more is when we find out who Carla's ass grabbing, drunk texting, overly friendly boyfriend is!!!! Life is good!!!! Don't forget to tune into Real Housewives of New Jersey.....this might be my favorite season for TV, the only thing missing is the crazy Jersey kids!

Today starts off CLICK IT OR TICKET which runs from May 23 til June 5, 2011 .

Click It or Ticket (CIOT) is the most successful seat belt enforcement campaign ever, helping create the highest national seat belt usage rate of 85 percent. Coast to coast, day or night, the message is simple - Click It or Ticket.

2011 CIOT National Mobilization - The cornerstone of NHTSA's seat belt communications program is the national Click It or Ticket May Mobilization. The primary audience continues to be men ages 18 to 34, which research shows are less likely to wear seat belts.

In this day and age are there still people who do not wear a seat belt?

What makes them take the chance?

Have you ever received a ticket for no seat belt?

WANNA LAUGH?!?!

Last week Murph went out drinking. When he left the bar a cop spotted him stumbling around in the parking lot. The officer went to him & asked him what he's doing.
"I think someone stole my car!" Shouts Murph.
The officer asks, "Where was it when you last saw it?"
Murph replies, "At the end of dis keeeeeeeee......."
With that the officer notices that Murph's pants are down & his junk is out.
The cop asks, "Are you aware that you are exposing yourself for the world to see?"
Murph yells, "Oh shit!! They got my girlfriend too!!"

THE END OF THE WORLD?? BLOW THE TRUMPET...WARN THE PEOPLE!

Okay so this Saturday is the beginning of the end of the world also known as Judgement Day. Harold Camping is some dude that has a radio show and a church who has calculated that May 21, 2011 is the first day of what will be five months til the end of the world. On October 21, 2011, it is all over as per Camping.

I suggest that you leave work immediately! You must go out and get an awesome outfit - doesn't matter how much it is, if this guy is right we don't have to worry about credit card bills! Call everyone you know and make early plans to meet for Happy Hour! Make this night memorable it could be our last!

On Saturday we either won't be here or it will be raining in the Northeast and everyone will be hungover as hell and a little more in debit!


KICK OFF THE END OF THE WORLD WITH A BANG!!! ENJOY!

The CDC has even put information on how to deal with Zombies for the people who are around on May 22!

Did you hear this today???

Devastated Li-Wan sat sobbing on a window ledge 80ft up in Changchun, eastern China, just hours after partner Wang Lu left her at the alter. As she jumped to certain death,  Guo Zhongfan managed to catch her and hold her dangling by the neck above the drop.

The jilted bride is okay. Guo Zhongfan is a hero. Wang Lu is an ass.

I say this woman was saved twice that day....once by the hero and another by some higher power that let her escape marrying someone who is obviously not  in love with her.

Have you ever called off a wedding?

Have you been left at the altar?

Do you think some people want to call off the wedding but are too afraid?

Vent here today!!!

WANNA LAUGH?!?!

The other day I came home early than expected from one of my shows. I was really beat from the performance so I went straight to bed where my wife already was. As I was about to close my eyes I noticed that there were 6 feet sticking out of the blankets. I said to my wife, "Hey what's going on here? I see 6 feet!"
"Nonsense!" She said. "You're so tired your eyes are playing tricks on you. You'll focus better if you get out of bed & count again."
Wouldn't you know it.... she was right. I got out of bed & sure enough there were only 4 feet sticking out of the blanket.

We live in a shockingly transparent world. How did it go 14 years without it leaking about Arnold's Secret Son?

Mildred (Patty) Baena was working with the family for over 20 years. She was pregnant at the same time working in the house when Maria Shriver was also pregnant with her son.

How do you think this went undiscovered or unmentioned for as long as it did?

Do you think Maria knew?

Who will come out on top after this scandal?

Why do men risk it all for a fling?

MAY IS MELANOMA/SKIN CANCER DETECTION AND PREVENTION MONTH - THESE ARE ALL THE REASONS WHY I KNOW!

I had originally set this post in drafts last week. My friend Tara had a video on her facebook wall, it was a number of people talking to their 16 year old self after the risks of skin cancer. It moved me.

My oldest daughter was born with a small chocolate chip sized birthmark on the inside of her upper arm. I never thought about it. She shows everyone, she even seems proud of it. On Monday, that little chocolate chip sent my world in a tailspin. I took her to her pediatrician to have something looked at. I mentioned that I had made an appointment for Sarah to see a dermatologist in early June. Let me flashback for a second, about a month ago I was in the ER with the same kid and a foot injury. We were at the hospital all night, even made friends with two little old ladies and their niece. One of the little old ladies was a retired nurse. She noticed Sarah's Chocolate chip and told me to have that checked out immediately. I blew it off. It all flooded back when the pediatrician wanted me to immediately go to Lake Success, New York to have a specialist take a look at that chocolate chip and have it biopsied. My heart sank. Why didn't I listen to that little old lady over a month ago? The video from Tara played over and over in my head. What a horrible mother I am. Why am I such a slacker? What the hell is wrong with me that I never had a dermatologist look at this before, she is going on 10 years old!!

With a knot in my throat I took my little girl in to the next doctor. He went over her with a fine tooth comb. He did measurements and took pictures of every mole on this kids body. He documented as Sarah and I told him of different times she was over exposed to the sun, once when she was on the beach in early spring, once down by the boat she got heat stroke, and then recently on our family trip. I patiently waited for the opportunity to ask him about the necessity for a biopsy. He asked her about sunblock, Sarah admitted that she wasn't a fan of her mother covering her with 50+ every hour on the hour during the summer. It all came down to this one moment. No, he didn't say it needed a biopsy. THANK GOD! The blood rushed back through the rest of my body. The guilt was over - I wasn't that bad of a mother.

GIVE ME A BREAK, - I'LL GIVE YOU ONE TOO

So the He Said She Said sparked quite the debate didn't it?
Boyle made a comment that was actually going to be a future He Said She Said topic I had planned but since she brought it up I am going to talk about it now.

She said she is thinking about going away for a week & not bringing her phone. This is a sensitive topic for me. My wife has gone away twice & is now planning another trip.

I won't lie to you... it's a bitch when she's gone. I do a lot with the kids but it's a nice to know mommy is home too just in case I just sat down & one of the brats now want something. Maybe mommy will get it this time. To be "on call" 24 hours a day is exhausting. (Hats off to you single moms! My mom was one so hats off to her too!)

The first 2 trips my wife took were both in 2009. I wasn't thrilled about the first one but I understand we all need a break. We survived the week but it was tough at times. Our autistic daughter couldn't understand why mommy had to go. She was mad about it & made sure everyone knew. The second time I was pissed. Like I said, it was the same year. You just had a break & now you're going again?? Our daughter was even more cranky the second time around plus I had to work which meant getting babysitters. I guess I bitched enough because in 2010 she didn't go anywhere but now she is planning a trip for the end of June. 

My cancer was diagnosed in 2002. Since all the chemo, surgeries, amputation, heartache, aggravation, etc. I have only taken a 3 day weekend with a couple of friends. What I would LOVE to do is go away for a few days (if not longer) with my wife! We have not had a vacation alone since our honeymoon in 1998. But that is not happening anytime soon.

So I am not happy she is going away again. We all need our "me" time. I get that. We all need a break to regroup. I get that. But when does it become too much? Where is the balance?

What pisses me off even more is that I can't get my wife to take a morning off so we can be naked after the kids go to school but she'll take a few days to go somewhere without me? Again!!

So when Boyle goes away I hope she does have her phone because I'll be calling her to find out where she is staying because I am going to meet up with her. Then we'll leave our phones in the suitcases!!!

What do you guys think? How do you give yourself & your partner a break?
