The Iron Lady

Meryl Streep is starring in a new movie, "The Iron Lady", about Margaret Thatcher. There is talk about how accurate it is but the only thing I wanted to show here is how Meryl Streep can transform herself....she is awesome! Would love to see the movie if it is accurate but in this political world....who knows....I will do a wait and see on the actual movie......here are the pic comparisons....Margaret Thatcher first:

Now Meryl....obviously looking a little younger but I didn't realize it was her...she is good!

Darth Vader

Come on! Of all the Super Bowl commercials....tiny Darth Vader was the cutest and then you find out about the kid playing Darth! For the love......here is the commercial with the follow-up:

Now here is the unveiling of this cutie-patootie! I swear he could be Meg Ryan's son before she had all the work done! Watch it...am I wrong on that one? But bless his heart...literally...he has a congenital heart defect and at the age of 6 he has a pacemaker.....soooo stinkin' cute!!!

XM Radio

I have an XM radio in my car. My fave stations are The Spectrum and Alt Nation. I have heard so many incredible bands that are not played on terrestrial radio. It is so sad that terrestial is so taken over by the record companies that original artists can't be heard. I just think the satellite option is incredible! There is so much great music out there that most people don't get to hear. I decided I would start throwing out some music that you might not have heard. I will do it in video format but don't worry about the video so much as hearing the music! I am throwing out songs I like to work out to and songs that just make me relax and music that just makes me happy and my toes tap! I hope you like....here are a couple of my new faves....

So stuck on Florence and the Machine..song is the "Dog Days Are Over".....just makes me want to dance.....loading this on the ipod for the elliptical....it starts out slow, but just wait...I also don't understand the video but whatev....music is great!


Read about Sarah Jaffe on the Whitney Matheson's "Pop Candy" blog on the USA Today website. Love the blog and she is really into new artists. Fell in love with this song, "Clementine"....


Ray LaMontagne.....love his voice and this song, "For the Summer". It is so peaceful...kind of James Taylor like but his voice is cooler....

And here is his other song that I am loving off his new album, "Beg, Borrow or Steal":


And then there are The Avett Brothers.....this is the first song I heard, "A Head Full of Doubt":

and this one,"I and Love and You":

This Cat Totally Watched Shrek 2

Keeping with the fuzzy theme

Fuzzy slippers and now the most wonderful fuzzy and soft and faux mink blanket! Got this for Christmas from Mom....it is so soft and so cozy and then the pups took it over. Dang dogs and their stealing ways!

Purple Fuzzies

Thanks Mom for the purple fuzzy slipper booties! These are awesome! Keep your feet warm without being too hot...and I love the color!

Geico Commercials

I love the Geico commercials! There are a couple here that have made me laugh out and they are not my insurance company...but they are funny!!
"Hey you dang woodchucks....quit chuckin' my wood!"

"Really?"

"Jack Wagon!" Hahahahaha! Wimp!

Love the Dialogue

Turn your volume up for this one! It is a hoot!

Do Not Want Cold Feetz

Daisy, the delicate flower, does not like getting wet. Don't think she is smart enough to figure this out though....not like we have snow anyway....

McGuires Irish Pub

While we were at the beach, we went to McGuires Irish Pub. I saw a special on Food Network about this place and have not had a chance to go until this year. Everyone that comes in gets out a dollar and sign it and it goes up on the walls or the ceiling. It is crazy how much money is around and over you! The food is great BUT huge portions! I wish I had gotten a shot of the nachos we ordered. They were HUGE! Our waiter was awesome and fun! And what is ironic...my aunt's family name is McGuire...they think they own the place! HA!
This was right above us:

This was by the bathrooms....funny story there...I will share....

This was our waiter...he was AWESOME and fun:

Money over the bar....

Mom got totally tricked with the bathroom signs! Hysterical....she walked in and thank goodness the man was washing his hands....he got a big laugh out of it because he knew about the bathroom joke...take a close look at the sign. The Irish are trickers...super funny!

And here is the sign for the women's room:

And here is my cousin putting up our dollars:

And this is the cool car in the gift shop! We got a couple of t-shirts there!
