The View Blab Fest
I haven’t been able to Tweet The View for the past few days because I am down to one eye and following twitter is a little bit difficult right now. I miss you, The View Moms! Therefore, I’ll be blogging the Hot Topics, so let the blabbing begin…. Hot Topics Rielle Hunter’s *ahem* GQ Spread Rielle Hunter is John Edward’s baby momma, for those who don’t know. Recently she did an interview for GQ Magazine and in the article she is posing seductively with some of her daughter’s toys. I won’t comment on the article or the affair (because, quite honestly, I could care less) but I will offer this tiny bit…

Welcome to My New Home
After much househunting, I’ve finally settled on a new home and I think I’ll be very happy in my new neighborhood. I’d like to thank Kat J. Robertson for packing and unpacking the boxes for me. She also took care of the interior decorating (also known as setting up my domain, importing my blog and all of its belongings and tweaking the CSS) for me. She did a fabulous job, no? Please take a look around and let me know what you think. There’s a fresh pot of coffee brewing and, if you check the fridge, you’ll find fresh fruit (this is a healthy house, afterall).

Whoopi’s back! Now all is right with The View. I absolutely love her ~ even when she’s being rude and obnoxious, she’s funny as heck. Hot Topics Whoopi Tips Her Dreads Whoopi’s been away from The View filming a movie with Kate Hudson in New Orleans. While there she had a little tour of the city and stated that she was “tipping her dreads” to Brad Pitt for all the hard work he has put into rebuilding the 9th Ward. Apparently he is doing some marvelous things there. I’m happy that she gave an update on my adopted city. Betcha didn’t know I used to party live there back in…

It’s Over…For a Couple of Weeks Anyway
Last night was my last class of the semester. Oh, wait, you may not know this but in my other life I teach American History at one of the local Universities. The classes are 7 weeks long and meet once a week for 4 hours. Yes, I said 4 hours! I also teach traditional classes but I think by far my favorite has to be the 7 week session. Generally, my students are Nursing or Physical Therapy majors who are taking the class during the short session because they use the longer sessions for labs and such. At the beginning of the semester, I usually have the students go around…

Product Review and Giveaway: Olay Total Effects Body Wash (Closed)
I’ll be celebrating my birthday in a week and I’m not thrilled because it puts me three years closer to the big 4~0. Yes, I’m already agonizing over that birthday. In fact, I’m fighting the aging process every step of the way and with everything that I can possibly muster. Well, you know, everything except going under the knife. As I’ve gotten older (and had to start scrolling through the decades to find my birth year on those danged survey forms), I’ve noticed little things starting to change ~ fine lines around the eyes and mouth, dry skin on the arms and legs, limited elasticity, ok, I can’t go on….…

Today I woke up with such a massive headache that I didn’t think I’d get to watch The View. But I did it. Sometimes I can be such a trooper. Anyway, it was worth watching through one squinty eye so that I could keep up a running commentary with The View Brand Ambassadors on Twitter. Anyway, you know how it goes, grab a cup of coffee (100% Columbian Coffee, if you please) and let’s talk… Hot Topics Naomi Campbell She’s been hitting folks again. Are any of us surprised? This time it was her driver, who suffered a busted eye from being hit in the back of the head, yet…

Sweepstakes: What’s Behind the World’s Best Coffees?
My day begins at 5:30 AM and usually ends sometime around midnight. So how do I function? With copious amounts of coffee, of course. If I could have coffee fed to me through an IV, my life would be complete. Ok, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration but not by much. Over the years, I’ve had fun experimenting with coffees from different parts of the world but I can honestly say, some of my favorite coffees carry the 100% Columbian Coffee logo. Although you may not know the words, you know the logo ~ Juan Valdez and Conchita, his donkey. These two have come to symbolize the values that the organization…

The View Blab Fest
So the ladies walked onto the set to some incredibly regal sounding music, which I, of course commented on…. Um, I guess if I had watched more of the Olympics I would have known that it was the Canadian National Anthem. Doh! My genius was showing. My wrap~up today is incredibly brief. Why? Because Dish Network and the weather have conspired against me in a tag team match. Last week the show was cut short because of the “snurricane” and today the show was cut short because the satellite went out. *sigh* Hot Topics The Olympics I’m proud of our country and all of the athletes who competed in the…

Book Review: The Gospel According to Lost by Chris Seay
To say that Lost is a phenomenon would be an understatement. Over the last 6 seasons, I’ve watched and listened as viewers have followed the trials of their favorite island castaways and with the final season just beginning, it seemed appropriate for me to review The Gospel According to Lost by Chris Seay. As many viewers are aware, Lost is more than a story about a group of people who get stranded on an island, it’s a multi~layered story that explores fate, reason, faith, guilt, salvation and a host of other philosophical and religious tenents. And it’s within this framework that Seay seeks to explore the relationship between the television…

The View Blab Fest
At 11 AM EST it’s coffee and chat time at my house ’cause that’s when I flip the channel to The View and get ready to start laughing and yelling. Thanks to the “snurricane”, the first 5 minutes of the show were preempted by a weather update (um, thank you, Mother Nature, I’d appreciate it if you didn’t cause problems during The View again). Fortunately, the show came in just in time for me to catch the tail end of the following conversation… Hot Topics Sherri Broke the Dress Code Ok, so Sherri admitted to reaching into a dressing room and foisting someone’s dress for an awards banquet because the…
