I Blame Ellen

Its all her fault really. I mean, I get up in the AM, make the go-go juice, see hubs, teenage daughter and manchild off, and start my day's tasks (and now that I am officially unemployed I have lots of projects). Then, Ellen comes on. I just HAVE to watch. Her show is THE BEST. Now with some shows I can get stuff done while they are on in the background. Not Ellen. I have to watch and pay attention. She has become like crack. I MUST watch! I have to know what she is giving away next. I have to know what wonderfully talented, thoughtful, entrepreneurial kid she is going to showcase next. I have to know how her calls with Gladys are going to go. I have to know how she is going to make me laugh. And she always does. I mean its a GREAT way to spend an hour but it just ruins me for the rest of the day. She comes on at 9. 9! I am just getting started and then BAM I lose my motivation. Oh it comes back for an hour and then its Y&R - which depending on the story for the day I can miss an episode and still survive. But I really hate it if I miss Ellen - even if its a repeat - I don't care - I still giggle like kid.

Now I know what you are thinking.....just Tivo it - right? Well, I don't have Tivo so that really isn't an option now is it?

Updated: I am not happy ya'll - It's 9 am and I just sat down to watch my Ellen and IT'S A PRESIDENTIAL NEWS CONFERENCE!! Hello, most people aren't going to see you cause they are at WORK! Don't mess with Ellen... GRrrrrrrrrrr!

Cheeky - who is gonna sing you another little Christmas ditty - click HERE to listen (now sing along ya'll):

I broke my bat on Johnny's head,
Somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in sister's bed,
Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug,
I made Tommy eat a bug,
Bought some gum with a penny slug,
Somebody snitched on me.

Oh, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,
Mommy and Daddy are mad,
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.

I put a tack on teacher's chair,
Somebody snitched on me.
I tied a knot in Susie's hair,
Somebody snitched on me.
I did a dance on Mommy's plants,
Climbed a tree and tore my pants,
Filled the sugar bowl with ants,
Somebody snitched on me.

So, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.

I won't be seeing Santa Claus,
Somebody snitched on me.
He won't come visit me because,
Somebody snitched on me.
Next year I'll be going straight,
Next year I'll be good, just wait,
I'd start now, but it's too late,
Somebody snitched on me.

So, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas,
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.

So you better be good whatever you do,
'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you,
You'll get nuttin' for Christmas.

I've had all I can stands ....I can't stands no more!

So I know I was MIA yesterday, did ya miss me? Katie was talking about purging on her blog this week and I took one look around my office and said "yep I gotta do it - just can't take mess and crap anymore". Yes, I have conversations with myself and for the record they are the best conversations I have ever had. I have great opinions and I typically tend to agree with myself but sometimes I don't and that's when the fights start - it can get pretty ugly - I won't talk about it now. Anywho, back to purging. So since I was inspired after a pretty full day of work I decided it was time. OH.MY.GOODNESS. Yeah, I was working in here all day. I took a break long enough to take the kids to the China Buffet and then back at it. I cleared out clutter, I threw stuff away (and when teenage daughter was doing the trash run last night before it comes on Thursday - she called me wasteful that I was throwing stuff away -like dried up never used pens and note pads that had like 1 sheet left on them - yeah she dug them out - my own little dumpster diver - I am so proud). I reorganized the desk and took the monstrosity of an organizer OFF that wasn't really getting used except to hold junk - now there is a nice little one and lots of working space. I dusted the shelves, blinds (ewww they were disgusting but we won't talk about that) picture frames and my trusty little decision making devices (my 3 magic 8 balls - they are consulted on a regular basis - we they all agree - its rather freaky - and in case you are wondering, I have a regular black one, a green muppets one that will give you things the Muppet's would say, and a yellow superman one. I still can't find the tan smart eleck one I saw in the store once - bummer). I rearranged and vacuumed. Overall it was a productive day. The fact that I was domestic on my own accord means that it really was a pit (cause I am NOT domestic like that) but it is oh so nice walking in here this morning to get my blog on. So clean and organized. Wanna start a pool on how long that's gonna last?? Go on, you know you want to, you won't hurt my feelings - just give me a 10% cut off the top and we will call it even.

OH and did you know that it is ALSO Jana's birthday MONTH too? You didn't? Well go visit her and give her happy wishes, and greetings and show her some birthday love - go on - go do it.

OK so I need a little motivation

I have lots and lots of interviews today and ummmm I have no motivation to do them. NO, its not cause I am old - geesh! Its, cause its summer and the kids are goofing off so why can't I?

Watched the other singing show last night - Don't forget the lyrics, yeah, I am applying to be on that one too cause you know I would kick butt and this one has more $$$. Any volunteers to be my back up singer (lifeline)?

OK so I need to get to work now....ugh....

Cheeky who is gonna sing a little ditty to get her moving......

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the musics high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
