Why are we so nuts for celebrities?

posted by:

It seems like anyone that is ‘famous’ like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie or Britney Spears, can’t do anything without it ending up on a tabloid front page or entertainment show. Why is this? Why are we so darn obsessed with celebrities? I don’t understand it personally.

I mean, they put their pants on one leg at a time just like you and I do. They even use the bathroom just like you and I do and I bet sometimes it doesn’t smell very pleasant either, just like you and I. Didn’t we learn anything from Elvis Presley? This poor guy couldn’t even go out into his own yard without someone going nuts because he was there.

We push so much on to these celebrities that it’s no wonder they end up turning to alcohol, drugs or temporary insanity, if you will. Put yourself in their shoes and think about it for a minute or two. Could you live like that? Could you remain ‘Normal’, what ever that may be. Maybe the celebrities are the normal ones and the fans are the ones with problems. What do you think???

I think I need some new lighting

Lighting can really make a difference in the look of a room.  I have been looking for a floor lamp for my living room.  It’s gotten sort of hard to find floor lamps but I got lucky and found a great web site with a great selection.  In fact, I had a hard time trying to pick out just one.

They have some of the most unique floor lamps I have ever seen.  Do you remember when everyone had those halogen lights but they were causing a lot of fires in homes?  Well these are a far cry from those.  I should have never looked at the discount floor lamps because now I’m thinking about getting one for my bedroom, the guest room and even my home office.  The prices are a lot lower than I expected for them to be too.  I told you I like the finer things in life and now I’m working on getting them.

Women

I thought this was so cute that I just had to share it with you.  Sounds like something a woman would do, don’t you think??

The doctor, after an examination, sighed and said, ‘I’ve got some bad news. You have cancer, and you’d best put your affairs in order.’ The woman was shocked, but managed to compose herself and walk into the waiting room where her daughter had been waiting.

‘Well, daughter, we women celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don’t go so well. In this case, things aren’t well. I have cancer. So, let’s head to the club and have a martini.’  After 3 or 4 martinis, the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more martinis.

They were eventually approached by some of the woman’s old friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating. The woman told her friends they were drinking to her impending end, ‘I’ve been diagnosed with AIDS. ‘ The friends were aghast, gave the woman their condolences and beat a hasty retreat.

After the friends left, the woman’s daughter leaned over and whispered, ‘Momma, I thought you said you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends you were dying of AIDS! Why did you do that?’

‘Because I don’t want any of those bitches sleeping with your father after I’m gone.’

And THAT, my friends, is what is called, ‘Putting Your Affairs In Order.’

Hot weather will be here before we know it

I try to find ways to not only keep my home comfortable in the heat of summer but save a little money too.  That’s why I love ceiling fans.   Not only do they help you to save on your energy bill by keeping it feeling cooler with the thermostat set higher but they really add a lot to your home decor.  I like ceiling fans that fit who I am.  Sometimes that hard to find.

But you know, I always seem to be able to find just what I want in Hunter fans.   They have been known as one of the best for a long time and last too.  My parents had them in our house and some off brands and the Hunter ceiling fans lasted a lot longer than the others did.  But if you’re looking for any brand, you’ll be able to find them online easily.  In fact, the site I got mine from has a great selection and they even have a customization system that assists in configuring and ordering ceiling fans to your exact specifications with all the accessories you would want.  Check them out and see.

I hope you had a Happy Mothers Day!!!

Mothers Day was great for all of us.  My grandmother even came up from the beach so we could all celebrate the mothers in our family.  Mothers Day is sort of like a major holiday around our house mostly because my grandmother is the rock that we all lean on and try so hard to follow in her footsteps.  No I don’t have children but one things for sure, I have the perfect example of what a mother truly is in my grandmother.  Oh sure my mother is a good Mom but Grandma has always been special to not only me but everyone in the family.  I hope you have an example like her to follow.  I’m just not sure I’ll ever come close to filling her shoes but I’m sure going to try.
