Chocolate to my ears

As I just tweeted to Adam Levine, his voice is like chocolate to my ears. Plus he is a stone cold fox.

I recently officially completed my Maroon 5 collection and have been listening to this song non stop.


And this one,

If you're a Brewers fan...

Then you know why this picture is worth a million, trillion, bizillion words.

For the record I always knew Ryan Braun was innocent. So he should marry me. Please Ryan!

Beast mode.

Women of the Week

Sorry dudes, but girls rule! And this week I highlight two females that are cool. (Say this aloud, it kind of rhymes)

They might be polar opposites, with one a fictional character and the other a badass journalist, but I bet they would like each other if they met.

Peppy Miller
I usually try to play games with award winning movies by not seeing them because seeing all of them or picking a few to see is just too overwhelming! Then I am lamely relegated to watching crappy superhero flicks or whatever is available instantly on Netflix.

But, this year I stopped futzing around and saw The Artist.

I wasn't sure about this movie because I like color and talking. What? Movies are in color with noise? I forgot about those two generally crucial aspects of modern film because The Artist was so good!

I'm sure everyone has heard their fair share about this movie so I won't go into details.

What I will comment on is the main female lead, Peppy Miller. I knew I liked Peppy right away because her name was Peppy. Is this not the best? After I spent a few minutes thinking how my life would have been different had I been named Peppy (I would have learned to tap dance and I would do cool things like wink and always have my fingernails painted red), I got back to admiring her.

Bottom line, Peppy Miller is likeable. You want to be her or be her friend. She was fueled by her loyalty, love and admiration for Jean Dujardin. Not in a "I have no life because my life revolves around my guy" way. She is endearing. She knew what she wanted and went for it. She became a star!

Also, she does crazy tricks like this
MIND BLOWN
The second lovely lady I am giving a shout-out too is Andrea Mitchell.
I am reading her book, Talking Back: to Presidents, Dictators and Assorted Scoundrels.

Scoundrels in a book title! I'm sold! But really, I'm a political news junkie so this is right up my alley.

Currently, she hosts the show Mitchell Reports on MSNBC and is a regular on political talk show programs, like my favorite The Morning Joe. Andrea has been around a long time. She has staying power and is smart and talented. Because I am now an expert on her from reading 1/3 of her book so far, I know that she worked hard to get where she is having to start from the bottom and work her way up more than once. Right on sister. I need to finish her book and then I want to meet her.

You can follow her on Twitter: @mitchellreports

If you haven't seen The Artist, do. And if you don't know who Andrea Mitchell is, get to know her.

Some things I like that maybe other people don't like, but if you do we could be friends:

1. Walter from Fringe
Cute little man













2. Peeing in the shower. TMI? Not for people who also like to do this!

3. Trying out different accents. Right now I'm working to perfect South African and Australian accents. This has been difficult because all I can say in a semi decent South African accent is "South Africa."

4. The SyFy Channel. Now I know there are some others out there who agree with me on this one. Being Human and Ghost Hunters are the best. Does this make me a nerd? Yes, and I embrace it wholeheartedly. If you want to talk about paranormal activity I am so in.











5. Using British slang words in everyday conversation, saying them in an accent so everyone thinks I'm joking, but then really not be joking. I like "You daft cow!" and "Brilliant!" and "Oi!" and "Sod off."

With that, I say cheerio!

Grammy Beauties

I didn't watch the Grammys, but heard all the buzz. Especially about how wonderful Katy Perry and Adele looked.

And after some googling I can agree. Wow they were stunners.

Katy's blue dress put me in awe. And her hair! I love Katy Perry and boast to EVERYONE that a friend and I saw her in concert at the House of Blues in Chicago before she hit it big. Since that moment, I have had a special relationship with Kitty Katy. I sort of want to be her.


Also said to anyone that will listen, if I was a famous vixen I would dye my hair lavender. Please let this day come to be.

Oh my god Adele. Gorgeousity at it's finest.


And because I am on the same page as everyone or is everyone on the same page as me? Not. Here is a picture of the both of them together shining their beauty stars on us all!

Yogi tea quote

On this Valentine's Day morn I share with you the quote that came on my Yogi Green Tea Blueberry Slim Life tea bag:

"Grace is contentment."

Grace is my middle name so this is obviously the most profound saying ever said in the world/earth/the universe.
