Monday Mentions

If you are new to Monday Mentions, check out this explanation to learn more.

  • If you need a good laugh (and who doesn’t, right?) then you absolutely have to check out Yahoo! Answer Fail blog.  I was laughing so hard that my kids came into the room and asked me what was so funny.  Unfortunately, most of the subject matter is not exactly appropriate for a younger audience, but you have to check out the absurdity of these questions and answers.  This is one of my favorites. I have a theory–I’m thinking that the People of Walmart are the same people that write in to ask these questions.  Good stuff!
  • Speaking of absurdity….oh Fox News, you really need to get someone to check your pie charts before putting them on the air. I may not be a math whiz, but I’m pretty there is something a little off about this graph .
  • GosWatch–Ryan has been keeping a pretty low profile since his birthday extravaganza at Disneyland.  I’ve been going through some serious withdrawals wondering what he has been up to, who he is spending his time with (please, oh please let it be Rachel) and missing his beautiful face.  Luckily, this past weekend I got a quick fix in the way of some new photos and a diary entry from his days at the Dead Man’s Bones puppet show.  You really need to see the pictures that accompanies this post.  If you don’t click, you will be so sorry.  Seven words:  RYAN GOSLING PAINTING IN A TANK TOP!!
  • I love the photos that got leaked of Katie Couric getting down at a party.  I know this is a bit out of character for a serious news anchor, but good for her for getting her groove on.
  • Speaking of serious journalists, this interview with Taylor Lautner cracked me up! I’m quite certain that if someone gave me a microphone, camera and told me to ask cute boys questions I would have just as hard of a time staying professional.
  • Ok, this next mention will not be for everyone so proceed with an open mind or just skip this one.  A few weeks ago, I had an angel card reading done by Sassy Pants Freckle Face.  This is similar to a tarot card reading but she used a set of cards that bring only messages of love, peace and hope.  I’ve never heard of this type of reading before so I was curious and open to hear what she had to say.  Well, she totally blew me away with her words of wisdom and encouragement.  I was shocked by some of the details that she was able to give me about things going on in my life that I haven’t yet written about on this blog or even told some of my closest friends.  I went into it pretty open, but I have to admit that there was some skepticism.  I left the experience a complete believer.  I wish I could say more but I can’t just yet.  It was a really neat experience.  If this sounds like something you might be interested in, please contact Sassy.
  • This little tidbit totally made my weekend!  Jeff and Jordan (from last season’s Big Brother) are still dating and rumored to be competing on the next season of The Amazing Race. This is brilliant casting on CBS’s part.  The two of them were adorable on Big Brother this summer.  This got me thinking about my favorite Amazing Race /Reality show couple of all time– Rob and Amber.  I started wondering what they were up to and found out they had a baby (this is old news as it happened this past summer) and that Rob is rumored to be in Survivor 20:  Heroes vs Villains.  Now, I haven’t watched Survivor for like 10 seasons but I would definitely tune in for this.  Check out the complete rumored cast list here.

  • Finally, I just wanted to pass along this great opportunity to get involved in World Aids Day.  On Tuesday, December 1st,  Starbucks will donate five (5) cents for every hand-crafted beverage sold at participating stores in the U.S. and Canada to the Global Fund to help fight the AIDS epidemic in Africa.  If you aren’t able to make it to Starbucks on WAD, you can still be a part of the fight against AIDS by visiting www.starbucksloveproject.com.  Check it out!

    I’d heard the rumor of the next Survivor being another “all-stars” version… but not that it’s “Heroes vs. Villians”!

    belongs in the blog hall of fame! The DMB diary and pix was definitely well worth it, too.

    Have you seen the DMB Tour #2 video on youtube yet? Quite funny.

    So glad to hear Jordan and Jeff are still together and would LOVE to see them on Amazing Race – I watched BB all summer. And I was an Amber and Rob fan too and did hear somewhere that they had had a baby . . . wow, some reality TV romances really do make it :)

    Great post. I love the people of Walmart site. Cracks me up! Rob and Amber live an hour from me. They have a baby girl now. They live near the beach in Pensacola.

    I could spend all day being horrified by People of Wal-Mart. Scary stuff there. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
