More Oscar fashion



My fave Oscar fashion






All the ladies were blazin hot this year but these are a few of my faves

Final note

Jon Stewart rocked it out as host....as a huge fan of the Daily show my husband is alos glad that he will be back to work...

Post show glow


So i am sitting here in my post-Oscar afterglow watching "Fargo" for about the hundreth time and dreaming of movies and babies.... As most people know, this is the movie that was on when i was in labor, and were my son got his name...It is one of my favorite movies, by 2 of my favorite people, Joel and Ethan Coen, who won their first Academy Award for it in the early 90's....It was surreal to tuck in my own Coen, and then watch his namesakes earn 3 more Oscars of their own...
Everyone looked so good especially hot ass Helen Mirren. I dont know how that woman does it but damn....
But my favorite part of the night was when Diablo Cody accepted her Oscar for best original screenplay...It made me cry....It gives all of us at home screenwriters hope, and gives us just a little more room to dream.... So my predictions were pretty much on, 15 hits, 9 misses....the best supprting actress threw me for a loop, i had originally said Tilda Swinton, but changed my mind after i could not sit thru "Michael Clayton," anywho....
I am gonna enjoy Frances and Joel and Ethen and Fargo, and dream of hollywood nights....

I'm so excited

Sitting here, watching the red carpet arrivals....Yah....It's here....Oscar day!!!!!!!
My three foot tall date and i will watch them all.....Yah, and yes....I am ready....Check back later for my post show recap and catty fashion comments....Yah

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY aka "My Oscar predictions"



Okay, so this year as I have for many years past, I sat down with my ballot and struggled to fill it out. Frantically talking to myself, making little notes, and trying to debate 1000's of acaemy members every move. People watch, and people laugh, but to me this is serious stuff.....Much like men sit around in studies all over the country and play fantasy footbal or fill out the brackets to the final four....This is my thang, and i love it.

So,

Confession 1: I am not as caught up on my oscar movie watching this year, just too busy to see everything,

Confession 2: And yes, I am a little biased this year considering my sons namesake's are up for numerous Oscars, but my love for them does not change the fact that they are extremely talented filmakers, nor does the fact that i didnt pick Johnny Depp mean i dont love him, I just dont think it is his year

So here we go...

Picture: No Country For Old Men, The Coen Brothers

Actor: Daniel Day-Lewis, There will be Blood

Actress: Julie Christie, Away from Her

Supporting Actor: Javier Badem, No Country for old men

Supporting actress: Kate Blanchett, I'm Not There

Director: Ethan and Joel Coen, No country for old men

Original Screenplay: Diablo Cody, Juno ( Do it girl!!!!!!!)

Adapted Screenplay: Ethan and Joel Coen, No COuntry for old men

Bring on the red carpet and the fashion.....it is Oscar time

House update

My "hopefully" beautiful new kitchen

So we met with the money men today and visited the house with the home inspector.....today was the first day Coen got to see it, he picked out his room and ran around the yard playing soccer and climbing on the rocks...


me: so coen what do you think about the house

Coen: oh i think about it


There are 5 kids ranging in ages from 3-12 so that is cool....fingers crossed....but so far things look good.....

Hopefull



I am so hopefull and am praying about this new house possibility....We meet with the realtor in the morning to place a bid.....I sooo want this house.....We so need this house. It is odd but I never realized how trapped and unhappy I have been in this house for the past few months until the reality of moving really started to materialize. I love this house, and i have many many great memories here. I got married in this house and started my family here. But we have outgrown it, and the walls are starting to close in on me. It has become dark, and i need some light.

I feel so much freer at the possibility of this house. It is airy and light with lots and lots of closet space. Denton and i could share the walkin and Coen could have a closet for the first time, I could hang up his clothes.....I pray and pray that this will happen....This house is so what I consider "Old school Murfreesboro" and soooo perfect for me, and my family. It is double the price and double the square footage but only 400 more than we pay now......Please send your prayers and positive energy our way....yah

Whenever I have a kid


This is what the nursery will look like....swchweet

always look on the bright side of life






Okay so the only thing that could have made "Spamalot" any better would have been to see Sara Ramirez, Tim Curry, and Hank Azzaria in the original roles on broadway. It was FABULOUS. Denton and I laughed our asses off, sang along and quoted lines. And yes, as always, I cried at the end. I dont know why, I always cry at the end of a play. I just get so emotional, i guess i was a performer in a former life. We had a great day, saw a great house, had a great burger, and saw a great play. Aside from the 3 block uphill hike in 4 inch heels with a twisted ankle. But hey I am looking on the bright side.dodododododododo....And I have a great idea for a halloween costume....

It's derby time in Tennessee!!!!!!!!


What a Bitch

“I'm going on record as an artist who is able to critique [Amy Winehouse]. I think she has a great talent, but I don't agree with the Grammys giving her those nods. I think it sends the wrong message, that even in the midst of her stupor of drugs she can get nominated for all these awards. It's a slap in the face to musicians and artists who work very hard that they turn around and give it to someone who really obviously doesn't have a grasp of what she has. I've been in this business over 25 years and I sacrificed five years of my own life on drugs and almost lost my life because of it. So I take great offence to almost see someone getting glory out of being in the position that they're in – she needs to get her life together and embrace her craft, she will lose it if she doesn't get it together.”
- Natalie Cole

These dreams of mine



So I have been having some really vivid dreams lately.....and since i havent dreamt in a really really long time this comes as a shock to me. But let me tell you, with these dreams i have been having it is a really pleasant surprise....I asked my doctor about it yesterday and he said that my sinuses were so bad i probably hadnt been getting into REM sleep for months, which kept me from dreaming....Now my brain is coming back with a vengence...


Okay so I know WHY i am dreaming what i am, but it still rocks...I have dreamt for the past 3 nights of nothing but Jonathan Rhys Meyers....And not just JRM, but King Henry JRM from showtimes "The Tudors." I, in my dreams am Anne Boleyn. It is odd but i woke up remembering hiding a honey jar in the garter under my flowing dresses to do god knows what with....It cracks me up....I know in the end i will loose my head but i dont care....


I attribute this to having just finished reading The other Boleyn girl, and having just begun watching "The Tudors." But honestly, i could care less....I look really forward to sleep

There is a great organization called SolesUnited and their mission is to provide free footwear to deveolping countries. What they do is take your old, worn out Crocs, recycle them, and make a new pair of shoes that they donate to people in developing countries...I love it....So help me, help them, shoe the world. Check them out at http://www.solesunited.com/ and give me your shoes......

I hate my fucking house aka living with a dirty midget


I am sooooooooo OVER house. Denton and i have lived here 6 years, and the amount of shit we have accumulated in that time is overwhelming. I have loved this house since the moment i saw it and have had many, many great times, but times are a changing and i am reaching my limit. I clean and clean and clean and no matter what i do shit keeps pilling up, not to mention i have the dirtiest midget following me around messing things up right behind me.....I am drowning in my own stuff....The house is full, the attic is full, storage is full, we are starting to become those "stack shit up in the carport" kind of people that i hate.....We are looking now but it cant come soon enough.....
