Lingerie parties and Lingerie sales

by

Oh oh! I got an email earlier from my niece and she’s having a lingerie party! She’s holding it at the end of May. That could be interesting!

Thinking about lingerie parties just reminded me that for a very short time I once sold lingerie! It was sometime just before I started working as a nurse. I might even have still been in school at the time. I attended a lingerie party that was being held at a friends and some how I ended up getting talked into selling the stuff myself!

It’s kind of like holding Avon or Tupperware parties. You have your samples and you get a friend to hold a party. You go ahead of time and set everything up. What a pain when you have at least two racks of clothing! Then once everyone arrives you do a little presentation and anyone interested checks out the clothing, tries it on and hopefully orders from you.

I did ok at this, but it was time consuming and I felt like I was using my friends. Plus, you may not realize this about me, but I’m actually kind of shy in public. Especially when I’m around a lot of people that I don’t really know. I don’t think I’m as shy now as I used to be … I mean I’m a nurse – I’ve got to speak to strangers and ask them all kinds of personal details about themselves, and I do my darnedest to get a laugh or smile out of people and you can’t be too shy to do that! However, put me in a restaurant by myself to eat a meal or up on stage to give a speech and it’s not pretty!

Anyway, I don’t know if my niece is selling the lingerie or if she’s just holding the party. I wonder if I’ll end up ordering anything interesting?





Grey’s Anatomy – I’m disappointed

by

Did anyone watch Grey’s Anatomy on Thursday night?

I was actually disappointed with the show. You’d think they’d tie it up with only one drama to leave us wondering but it just left me feeling kind of sad. There’s just to too much drama in this show. I’m afraid to say that I think I’m starting to not like the show.

I’m sure that’s not how the creators wanted us to feel at the end of Season one.

So George won’t be going off to another hospital since he didn’t pass his intern exam. Ok that’s good, but if he didn’t pass his intern exam and doesn’t seem to want to do the program all over again where does that leave him – and us?

Izzy’s being her wishy washy self. Trying to hold back on George so that he can continue to be with Calle, but then right at a crucial moment she tells him that she’s in love with him. This is after George and Calle decided that they’d try to have a baby … so where does that leave both George and Calle, and George and Izzy. Frankly I don’t really care. As long as George stays in the program.

Then we find out that Derek was offered the job as Chief but he turned it down? Wasn’t that why he came to the Seattle Grace in the first place? So Calle will now be the head of the hospital. Hmmmm Baily isn’t happy about that, not one bit.

Speaking of Baily, both she and Addison were pretty much their normal selves. They didn’t have as much drama going on as the rest of the group so I don’t have a whole lot to say about the two.

The only real semi-happy ending is that it looks like the Chief and his wife might get back together. Yes they lost their baby, the one that the chief didn’t even know he was about to have, but his caring attitude towards his estranged wife might have pulled them back together. I guess we’ll see how that goes next season.

And what’s with Derek pulling back from Meredeth? She’s been trying, but I guess not hard enough. When Derek finally told her that he’s in for the long haul as long as she is, she made an excuse to end the conversation. Something tells me that she is going to end the relationship. You know what? I don’t really care about that relationship either. They’ve been back and forth so much that they’ve lost me. I don’t mean I’m confused, I just mean I don’t really care anymore. They’ve lost their magic because the creators can’t decide what to do with them. Focus people!

Who else … Alex and Ava or Rebbecca? Nah … if something was going to happen between them it should have happened at least two shows ago. They lost me on that one too. I j u s t d o n ‘ t c a r e.

Burke and Christina! What a heart breaker! I really thought they were going to make it. I loved the vows that Burke quoted during the surgery he was performing. I knew that any of the women in the room would have married him with those vows! Wow. Let me fan myself off – it’s hot in here. What I don’t understand is why he gave up at the end. Christina was trying. Yes she could have been more positive, but she was trying. She knew she’d be happy when that darn marriage was over.

Meredith kept saying throughout the show “Christina you’re going to do it right?”, “we need you to make it”, “We need this” … I think she wasn’t just talking about Christina and herself … I think she was talking about the show too. Now that that relationship has failed too … well the show just seems like a failure to me.

Well, I guess you now know what I really thought about the season finale … what did you think? Did they lose you too?

So many channels yet nothings on

by

I can’t believe that there was almost nothing on TV Tuesday evening. Yeah there was Dancing with the Stars, and I wouldn’t be surprised if American idol was on too but I don’t watch those shows. I just don’t get anything out of them. Even if I did like them there’d be no way that I could get Chris to watch them!

Heck, he gave up on the Amazing Race on me when the contestants started to get too whiny and he actually likes that show. LOL I don’t even like the show that much when the couples, friends or relatives start bitching at each other a lot.

At least House was on. I taped it, but didn’t get a chance to watch it yet. We watched Monday nights CSI Miami instead.

I didn’t even sort through the new clothes that we bought yet! Man I hope most of them fit. Well … for our budget it’d be better if I only like half of them because we sure spent a lot of money at Winners yesterday afternoon!

Do you have what it takes to seduce a celebrity?

by

Are you a fan of Mirelly Taylor? If so, you could win a date with her in GoFish.com’s Seduce a Celeb contest!

If you’re interested in win a trip, a hotel stay and most of all a date with a beautiful celebrity go on over to Go Fish and watch some Free videos at GoFish.com. Watch Mirelly’s video where she’ll explain what you have to do to enter the contest and then do the three tasks which involves making three different videos and submit them as directed. The contest will run for the next 14 weeks.

That’s all you have to do to enter this interesting contest. By the way, did you know that since the viewing audience is able to fully participate in this online show that this is the first program of it’s kind? Yes there’s some television shows like American Idol where the viewing audience has a say in what’s happening in the show, but for this show audience members who chose to participate become part of the show through their video entries.

Now in case you don’t recognize the name Mirelly Taylor – she’s been seen on shows such as Las Vegas, Punk’d and Numb3rs, as well as in the movies Kiss Me Again and Serving Sara. She’s a rising star.

Whether you enter the contest or not you’ve got to check out the video entries! Some of them are really funny. Of course, if you want to stand out from the crowd you should submit a video that’s creative to say the least.

I think this sounds like a fun contest to enter and to watch. I’m sure there’ll be some great video submissions and I can’t wait to see some of them. Since this is a unique kind of contest it will be interesting to watch how it plays out. I wonder if they’ll have sequels? I hope they do a male celeb next. Yeah, I’m married, but I think Chris would let me go on a date with a celebrity just once.

All My Movies – DVD catalog program

by

I’ve been asked to do discuss the DVD catalog program All My Movies, and I think this would be a great program for anyone that has a large collection of DVD’s, CDs, VHS tapes and other forms of media that they’d like to keep track of an organize.

The program is a very easy to use DVD and Movie Catalog. Use the program to catalog details of your personal media collection. What I like about the program is that you don’t need to sit and spend hours filling out all the movies details for your catalog. Just give the program a little bit of information such as the movie title and it will automatically download all the details from the internet movie database. All My Movies is even Windows Vista compatible.

All My Movies isn’t just for English language films, it’s actually a multilingual organizer. It supports English, Greek, Russian, Dutch, Belorussian, French, Latvian, Serbian, Polish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, Danish, Korean, Slovak, Chinese and German languages.

All my Movies supports additional internet movie databases with plugins for the All My Movies program, so you can use it to import details from many different internet movie databases. Want to know more about the various actors in your movie collection? You can look up actors birthdays, biographies and filmographies quickly and automatically.

If you have an extremely large collection you might be interested to know that you can add new DVDS and other media data into the program by using a UPC/EAN barcode. Just enter or scan the barcode numbers and all the information is added automatically.

You can save your collection to PDA’s and other mobile devices if you’d like. Heck, you an even play movies directly from the program so it can be used as a video playlister.

There are so many features I could go on – but if you think this program sounds like something that you could use, or that it might make a great gift for a friend or relative who has a great movie collection go to the site and read more about All My Movies features. You can take a look at screenshots of the software at work on the site too.
