Celebrity Free Pass

This morning on my way into work (sigh) I was listening to a local radio station sound bite from Friday where they were discussing if couples had a "get out of jail free pass" with a celebrity. The question posed was "who was the celebrity free pass and would your spouse/partner really allow you or would the locks be changed at home when you came back the next day?". I found it interesting that the sound bite was of men calling in and I was equally surprised at some of the names they provided. So it got me to thinking about my free pass. My husband and I have had this conversation before about and yes we have our answers and are well aware of who our celebrity competition are.

Him: Halle Barry

Me: Hugh Jackman

The real question in my mind is, would you really be ok with it if that celebrity came up to your spouse/partner for a one night stand and would you really be ok with it or would you change the locks over night? My husband is a wonderful man who I am sure doesn't have a jealous bone in his body, as for me, that is a whole other story. I love my sweetie but I would probably want to beat the living crap out of Halle if it really did come true. She is after all a beautiful and sexy woman so I can tell you know that my eyes would turn from brown to green in no time at all. I don't care how  much money she has, I think I can probably take her, if not I can sit on her (what she is skinny) and my girlz can help me shave her head or something like that (knowing my luck she'd look great the whole time and TMZ would have a field day with my pictures).

Still it is nice to dream sometimes right (about Hugh - not shaving Halle)? Kinda like when the lottery gets up in the millions and you buy one ticket and start planning what your going to buy with that money and how creatively your gonna tell you job to stuff it. Right?

So back to the question at hand, who is your celebrity cheat?

Random thoughts about . . . pizza

Pizza, yummy melty cheese on bread, with sauce and pepperoni. Hungry yet? We had pizza the other night and I knew that it needed to cool down or else I would end up burning the roof of my mouth so I was very careful. Well the next day I discovered I wasn't that careful. I discovered it while brushing my teeth. Not a fun way to discover that you did in fact burn the roof of your mouth. So you know the next time I have pizza I will be thinking of that wonderful experience.

Here goes nuthin!

For a while now I have been considering starting a blog. I love following my friend's blogs so I thought "hey I can do that". As you will find out I am not a professional writer (ha I'm a researcher, that is my sister) and I write like I talk so no grammar police (please and thank you).  So now that the obligatory "opening statement" is out of they way, lets gets started on sharing my random thoughts, concerns, soap box issues, dreams (I have a very active imagination so you will be highly amused) and every day events.

This morning I was taking the commuter train to work and I saw an individual get off in a beautiful light blue silk skirt suit and then she trodded off in crappy flip flops. This got me on my soap box and I had to share on Facebook this morning with my friends. I'll cut and paste for those of you who didn't have the pleasure of my rant this morning.

FB: Let's talk about flip flops shall we? I love to be barefoot most of the time and will give in to wearing shoes as necessary so I do love sandals and flip flops. I own several pairs of sandals and only about 3 pairs of flip flops (what can I say I don't like the thong between my toes feeling). With that said I have to step up on my soap box now . . . "HEY LADY" what makes you think that you look put together when you have a nice dress, skirt or even a suit (gasp) and then you walk around in flip flops, crappy ole flip flops? Did you not look at yourself this morning? When did you ever think that outfit was complete with flip flops? Flip flops are for jeans, shorts and your bathing suit - not to finish your silk suit or floral dress with. 

Oh and when did it become logical to wear a pair of flip flops and an ace wrap around your ankle/foot? Hello it defeats the purpose of wearing the ace wrap. You have obviously done something that causes pain (and probably swelling) so you need a shoe with structure and support so you can heal! OMG - when did we approve flip flops as fashion that goes with anything? And why are people wearing flip flops on days when they are wandering all over hell and back (i.e. tourists). Did you not hear that doctors have finally said flip flops are not to be worn when doing any length of walking? They provide no protection or support for your feet and arches.

I am all for comfort and ease but there plenty of other shoes out there that will go with your outfit that are light and easy. Ballet flats are comfortable and light weight - they sure make you look more put together than those crappy flip flops.

OK I'll step down from my soap box (in my ballet flats - from Sketchers - very comfy and they look nice with my brown pants, jeans, shorts, skirts, etc). I may not be a size 6, be 5 foot 10 inches, and a beautiful model but I was taught a few things about fashion and comfort from my mom. Don't get me started on how ladies don't seem to feel the need to wear a slip anymore and black bras with white t-shirts!  

Happy Hot Thursday everyone.

So with that said I've enjoyed all the fun comments from everyone and I agree that flip flops have a place and time for everyone but seriously, were you not taught to look in the mirror before you left the house? Or did you stop look and say "damn I'm hot". UGH - just one of my many rants. 

Hey at least I wasn't talking about Zombies (I have a strange obsession with Zombies - which you will all come to know and love).
