The 2009 Gold Globes

Welcome! Welcome to my coverage of the 2009 red carpet Gloden Globes..

5:20.. no apparent decent coverage. So far, we have a woman sitting there with goat placenta on her face. The woman looks like she is trying very hard not to yak on Ashlign's yellow dress.

5:25 - Debbie Metawhatsherface is licking that woman's face.

5:30 - I need one of those baby play yards (ie cages)

5:33 - Fug or Fab - really, is this 2006? The Fug Girls need to sue.

5:35 - Is this Jay from Queer Eye or Jay from ANTM - or are they the same?

5:40 - Have spent the last 5 minutes moving Zoe away from either the computer or the TV. She's turned into a freaking monster. BABY CAGE. I'm getting one tomorrow.

5:41 - realized people on Twitter are already talking about who won actual awards, therefore, they know what is being worn. I feel bit like Paul Rudd when he hosted SNL..

5:48 - I'm bored already.

5:49 - cute pic of my kids from yesterday

5:57 - Huh, didn't know Jason Stackhouse was from AU.

6:00 - Far away shot of someone in fushia poof. Never a good idea.

6:01 - E! A better technology would be broadcasting in high-def over the 'star tracker' useless thing

6:05 - Lucas is apparently feeling better

6:08 - Rickey Gervais' wife invested in a Bumptis

6:11 - Wow, the people are all running a bit late tonight, huh?

6:14 - Are you drinking? If so, what's in your glass?

6:15 - Let's talk statement making jewelry. Do you personally have something? I don't but I want.

6:16 - Gawd, I'm boring. Arnt you glad you are wasting your precious time reading this instead of doing important things like bathing your kids or wiping off the counters?

6:20 - I like this Taraji girl's earrings.

6:20 - The house girl's dress is stunning. I love that blue.

6:30 - Angela from the Office is very obviously breastfeeding

6:31 - There has been nothing, a faraway shot of someone, then more nothing, commercial. WTF?! I want Joan back

6:35 _ "Rumor Willis, what have you done to prepare for Miss Golden Globe" "Well, Ryan. About $600,000 worth of plastic surgery.."

6:37 - Wow, the questions these people ask are amazingly ridiculous.

6:45 - 8 minutes and I have nothing to say. E! YOU FAIL. FAIL. You said it Baldwin - there are some STOOPID questions being asked. And great, now I have to watch the Velveeta commercial again. Maybe I need to finish off my cans of champagne.

6:51 - Guess Eva Longoria isn't pregnant!

6:54 - So, who was going to point out to me that we still have another hour till the show starts? Woah Nelly, its been a very long day.

6:56 - Christina Applegate's hair looks one of Gma's friends in Boca did it. In the "pre-cap", Jay was making fun of her hair in GG pasts.. she wasn't listening.

6:57 - OMGITSTHEJOBROS!

7:02 - No Jay, we don't want to talk about the men

7:03 - Debra Messing. Meh. Not sure why? The bottom is pretty, the top is awkward.The hair is a bit poufy.

7:06 - Here we go...the stars have arriving... Guess I cold have started this now..

7:07 - OH HELL. What the F happened to Nancy O'Dell? Someone needs to do a hair extension intervention. Heh. An extension intervention..

7:08 - Jason asks "Why is Nancy O'Dell dressed like Helen of Troy?"

7:10 - Miley.. looking cute and age appro. She doesn't look like a 18 YO hooker. GOOD stylist, good..

7:11 - Every woman who has ever had a baby wants to throw rocks at Brooke Burke. I'm sure of it.

7:12 - Peter Gabriel is looking a bit .. old.. is "will you be in my heart" nominated again?

7:13 - Anna Paquin looks pretty. I love that plum color..

7:15 - Christina Applegate apparently was dressed by the costume designer from Mad Men

7:15 - "Her name Bubbles.."

7:15 - Elizabeth Banks is pretty.. I'm liking the blush color on her.

7:17 - maybe E! has the right idea to not move into HD? NBC is scaring me

7:18 - Amanda Seyfried from Mama Mia is STUNNING. AMAZING. Perfect. I want to look like her.

7:19 - If Jason and I ever got to go to one of these things I would make him wear a pocket square

7:20 - Eva Mendes is look a bit emmaciated. That amazing necklace is the only thing stopping her from floating away into nothingness.

7:24 - A lot of big hair. Drew .. a little too big..

7:26 - Blake Lively is so pretty also. Young Hollywood is definately looking good. It's my age group that is looking a bit tired tonight. Then again, of course they are.. they are my age

7:29 - Miley looks nice, but Miley's mom needs to add about a foot to her dress. Miley doesnt look like a hooker, but her mom sure does!

7:31 - I just confused Dennis Leary with Aaron Eckhart. I was saying I didn't realize Aaron Eckheart was old enough to have 2 big kids.. when I realized it was Dennis Leary I was proud that he's with his original wife!

7:36 - PIV - hope they are not serving sushi tonight!

7:38 - Kate Winslet will always look beautiful, but she could have done better. The black dress is nice, but it lacks umph

7:39 - Anne Hathaway also had her dress and hair chosen by my Boca Grandma. You are 24 girl! Look your age!

7:40 - The power couple has arrived.

7:43 - Colin Ferral looking old. Another one from my age group looking a bit worn..

7:44 - Amy Poehler - Love your necklaces! And love that you are wearing a loose dress and not back immediately into a perfect size 2

7:45 - Tina Fey was supposed to be the "woman of the night" and NBC glossed right over her!

7:46 - MOMENT OF THE NIGHT - Security pushing Ryan Seacrest away from trying to get an interview with Bradgelina. HI-LARIOUS. What? Are they too good to do interviews? BULLSHIT. Santa Angelina my ass.. get over yourselves.

 7:49 - P Cruz - fabulous, but the color washes you out.

7:51 - When did Sting become a crazy homeless man? Or as Jason said, Robin Williams

7:52 - RDJ - off the wagon?

7:53 - Marissa Tomei - HIRE a stylist. Please. Rachel Zoe - please intervene

7:57 - Megan Fox, the ONLY woman tonight really able to pull off the slicked back hair. She is Bananas.

7:59 - Really? Bradgelina didn't even stop?

RECAP

So, the accessory of the night? Parents! Everyone brought their mom and/or dads with them tonight. Mermaid cuts and trains were in..as is hopefully the assistants keeping them from drinking too much and others back 10 ft. It's too bad to hear that almost everyone made a point to say they are sober and don't drink, too bad just because what will happen to all that delicious Moet they are serving up inside?

A lot of people skipped the interviews, which come, just sucks. Thier business relies on people like us spending too much $ on tickets to see their movies.. stop and let us see what you are wearing and how you are looking. That is how you keep us interested - that is how you keep your friggin' jobs. (oh, mid-rant, I love Amy Adams earrings!)

Okay, thanks for reading my random streams of thoughts. I have one more Sophia left...

I think I may be back around here more often.. I'm thinking of some new ideas for this blog, with weekly features and more of a photographic focus.. so check back soon! XOXO

breaking radio silence

back by popular demand, well, the demand of one (hi Amy!) I am here to live-blog the walking in of the 2009 Golden Globes.

I was supposed to be serenading my 1/2 champagne tipsy rants to Maria and Maria today, but the sudden spike in body temperature of a certain almost 5 year old has left us home bound, on our own.

So here we are. Who am I to share my cans of Sophia (with the straws!) with? Who will care about the horrific accessories on Sandra Oh or how beautiful Anne Hathaway looks.. and this! This is my first critique in HIGH DEF.. Oh wait. E! doesn't have high-def. Huh. Why is NBC not broadcasting the walk-ins??? Don't they know its the VERY best part?!

AND OMG, does anyone else think that Juliana Rancic needs to go aw eat a hamburger on her way out?

Ok, I'm going to try Okt to drink all four cans of champagne before the party starts. I may be in and out depending on how much of a punishment I get from Jason b/c I told him he could not leave and go skateboarding just because he's pissed that the Chargers lost.

I have no idea how many of you will be out there reading, but hi there.. I am here to critique your dress and your stupidity.

thinking

I think I may have come to a decision. I think that my blog may have run its course.

OBVIOUSLY I haven't been all that great about updating. And what once was a creative release seems to be more of a chore as of late. And honestly, the last thing I need in my life is one more CHORE.

I'm also tired of worrying about what I write. I'm tired of stressing that my words are going to come back to haunt me in a misconstructed way. Over the past year the internets have amazed me and failed me all in the same breath. Some people out there know me, the real me. They can take what I say and envision me actually saying it and they "get it". Then there are those of you that I've met around them these parts.. who know Jason and I via pictures of our kids and anecdotal stories and maybe you know us.. but maybe you don't?

Impressions are everything, and I'm not all that sure anymore that I want this blog to seriously represent me in real life.

I'm not sure of my next move. So much of my life is documented on these pages, and there are so many things that I've done that I'm so proud of. But I think there might be a better outlet for me, and my quest for creativity, than I'm getting here.

But this can change. I am here. I am around. Just not as I used to be...

Know it all

Today I made it to the gym. Monumental occasion around here of late. I was on such a good roll.. oh well, today is the first day of the rest of my life... right?

The YMCA we go to is actually pretty nice and they have a very sweet infant room for the babies. I've been taking Zoe there for a few months, but usually we go in the afternoon when its mostly the older kids in the big kids room. Zoe is very social, and since her infancy has not once, that I've known of, cried when I have left her with someone else. She's pretty easy going and is totally cool just sitting there looking and "talking" to new people. She easily goes to anyone and gets excited to see her baby sitter Michelle. I plop Zoe down on the floor with another baby about her age and she immediately reaches for some books on the floor. I give her a kiss and head out the door without a second thought.

When I go back an hour later Zoe is sitting on the mat playing with another little girl and a baby doll... she doesn't even notice me walk in and she is happy and content. I pick her up, give her kisses and pretty much just out of habit nonchalantly say to the baby room woman "How was she? Was everything okay?"

She turned to me and said "She did cry for about 5-10 minutes when you left, but then she was fine.."

I was floored. 1st off REALLY?! My baby girl was sad that I left?! HOW DARE I LEAVE HER! HORRIBLE MOTHER GUILT FLASH FLOOD. Then I started thinking - why even tell me this? What good comes out of her telling me this other than I will TOTALLY use it as an excuse not to work out in the future? I can see her telling me if Zoe was inconsolable for 45 out of the 60 minutes.. I can see her noting to me if she fell over and bonked her head, but WHY tell a mother that your kid cried for 5 minutes?!

But then it got me thinking - how much does a parent want to know?

Lucas teachers always tell us the same thing. "Lucas was great today! Had a lot of fun playing.." I'm almost beginning to wonder if they lie to me about his behavior, because I know my son. He's over emotional and cries at the drop of a hat at home, so why wouldn't he at school? Don't get me wrong, he has had days that he teachers have had to pull me aside and let me know of something, but they are pretty few and far between. In fact, on further probing on "parent-teacher night" his teacher confided in me that Lucas is one of the best boys in the class! Huh? My kid? Same one I take home nightly?

The thing is that I know Lucas is far from perfect at school. I know he still cries and I know he gets upset, but I know the teachers deal with it, calm him down, and at the end of the day can't even remember his lego-spaceship induced fit. And I'm fine with that. Honestly, I don't WANT to really know - that's what I pay them for.

So what do you think? Do you want to know the absolute truth of your child's behavior when you are not around, or do you prefer just the glossy version?

ONE

Yesterday, my baby turned one.

An entire year of crying and laughing, diapers and girly clothes, milestones, teeth and all the other joys that come with having a baby.

We survived, we survived our first year of 2 kids, of having a baby and a preschooler.. and we are all still alive and well. And because of that, a party was needed.

Zoe's Super Sweet First Birthday
