Please tell me that I am not the only one who watches Knights of Prosperity.I cannot have another show that I have become interested in this season become canceled.It's true, this KP is probably more likely appeals to dudes.But how can you go wrong with a show that features a culturally diverse cast, kick-ass 80s tunes, Mick Jagger's hats (which are, of course, kept in an

It seems it's a foregone conclusion that Peyton Manning will win Super Bowl XLI tomorrow.Notice I said Peyton Manning, not the Indianapolis Colts.Every time I hear a discussion about the Super Bowl, the talk usually centers around the fact that Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman sucks in comparison to Manning.This may be true.Let's face it.Manning has gotten the Colts through some tough games

I loves me some Prince.However I am a little surprised that he is providing this year's Super Bowl entertainment. It just doesn't seem like a venue he would be interested in playing.I have to say, though.As much as I live his music, I truly hope he doesn't have a wardrobe malfunction.No one wants to see that.

It freaks me out that 2007 is already one month down.Although I know it is bad to wish time away, I really am sorta glad to see January is a thing of the past with all this crappy icy weather we've been having.Hopefully February will be snow and ice free.The fear of falling and cracking my head open has gotten out of control.I need relief.

Only 20 days until Christmas and I am happy to announce that I have done none of my Christmas shopping.I'm not worried.I'm gonna gift certificate it up this year for my friends.Impersonal?Maybe.Easier than schlepping around a crowded mall for days on end trying to find the perfect gift?Hell yes!I'm all about simplicity.

So.Did you get your Christmas decorations up this weekend?If not, when do you usually put them up?A friend of mine puts hers up the day after Halloween.That's right.Not the day after Thanksgiving.The day after Halloween.Needless to say, her home is quite the Christmas wonderland.It makes me wish every day was Christmas!

Since I have been on Weight Watchers I have learned to eat better and eat less.I try to eat things that have more fiber so that I feel satisfied while not going over my total number of points for the day.Yesterday I did the Turkey Trot five-mile run at Lake Hefner before having Thanksgiving dinner.So, I thought that would give me more leeway to really eat all that I wanted.I did just that.But man

So when you are trying to lose weight, do you weigh every day?Or do you go more off how your clothes fit?I've become a believer in relying on my clothes rather than the scale to show my progress.

Is it bad that I count down the days until Thanksgiving because I cannot wait to gorge myself on all the awesome food?OK. It probably is bad that I let food control my thoughts like that.Oh well.I am human.Plus, green bean casserole kicks ass!

I thought I'd share it, to see it you think there is a real difference between having guts and having balls.Guts and Balls -The Medical DistinctionWe've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below.GUTS is arriving home late after a night

17.2 pounds lost.5.2 left until I reach my goal.Well, it's official!I reached my Weight Watchers weight loss goal!Now, before you get too excited, the WW goal I set for myself is different from the one I hope to reach permanently.Basically, I set my WW goal weight a little higher, so that I would have some leeway to gain here and there.WW goal weight means that you now have to stay at that goal

I read somewhere recently that Tyra Banks could give Oprah a run for her money someday.Don't get me wrong, I may be the only human who openly admits that she is not an Oprah fan. But the woman is pretty damn powerful.On the other had, I sorta dig Tyra, but I'm just not sure she'll ever reach Oprah status.Do you agree?

For the life of me I cannot understand why it is that, when I leave my Weight Watchers meetings, people who have been in the same meeting get on the elevators to go up one flight.Am I the only one who sees the problem here?These are not people who are too overweight to require the use of the elevator.I just don't get it.

Wat is your fave SNL sketch of all time, and why?

I watch Saturday Night Live every weekend (well - let me clarify - I record it every weekend and then watch it when I can).And every time I ask a friend if they saw a particular SNL sketch recently, I always get the same reply:"I haven't watched Saturday Night Live in years."Why is this?I mean, I know SNL has had its ups and downs, but this season and last I have found particularly funny.Maybe

A few days ago I was at my fave place, Barnes and Noble.I passed by the Shakespeare section and remembered how much I dug the Shakespeare I had to read in high school (Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet).I started thinking that I should re-read those classics as well as expand my Shakepearian experience and try some other works by the Bard.Any suggestions?

It's odd.I've noticed lately at traffic lights that more and more people are stopping with about three car lengths of space between them and the car ahead.Why is this?I mean, I can understand about a half a car length.But the length of a football field is a little excessive, I believe.

It's hard for me to believe that people actually open spam.I mean, why would someone open an e-mail from a guy named Ebeneezer Mandarin titled "unprocurabl Slovenia" is beyond me.I mean, what the hell does that mean, anyway?unprocurabl Slovenia.I guess I'll have to open it to find out.

I have to tell you what a load off my shoulders it was this year to decide that I wasn't going to attend any Halloween parties.Much like New Year's Eve, I believe it can be a highly overrated holiday.Eek!I need to start planning now for what I'm going as next year.

In the "On the Nightstand" section of my sidebar, I have had The Devil Wears Prada posted for quite some time.Honestly, it does not take me this long to read a book.But like with my blogging, I just can't seem to find enough time in the day.Am I the only one who has this problem?

A couple of days ago I swear I could not get enough milk in my system.It seemed like I ate a billion bowls of cereal aside from the straight up milk shots.Any ideas out there on what could have caused this sudden need for lactose?I mean, I know that milk does a body good, but this is friggin' ridiculous. Could it be all the running I've been doing?Help!

A few posts ago, I informed readers of my love for IMDb.I forgot to mention that I love the Wikipedia as well.I'm sure these revelations probably make me suitable for the "loser" category.I'm OK with that.Just give me some IMDb and Wikipedia, and I am set for hours of non-social fun!

A few nights ago I nearly soiled myself when I came across a centipede on my front porch.No, not the 1980s video arcade game, smartasses.An actual centipede.My question is this:Why the hell does heinousness such as this (and spiders, for that matter) have to exist?

I am a little irritated because the folks on my block have taken the political candidate yard sign thing way too far.How many Jim Roth signs does one yard need?I mean, I think Jim Roth is a great county commisioner and I plan to vote to re-elect him.But hells bells. One yard sign? Sufficient.Five? Well, let's just say that overkill is understating it.

As I returned to my office building an hour ago from a meeting, I noticed a gentleman walking into the same building door as I was approaching, although I was about 10 steps behind him.Mind you, I am carrying three bags.Now, if I saw a person carrying a load, I would take the time to wait and hold the door.He didn't.Then, he walked toward the elevator that happened to arrive just as he approached

OK.

My mom and I had lunch together today.We looked like a couple of idiots.Her right leg is broken, and my right ankle is sprained.Coupled with the fact that we look alike physically, well, let's just say that our gimp routine could win us a comedic performance award, I'm sure.What a couple of losers.

Well, I finally got to the point where I could run six miles, and what do you know?I sprained a ligament in my ankle.Dang!On Saturday I ran a 5K race in my best time (a little over 30 minutes) and hurt my ankle in the process.What a pisser.

... that I still watch Beverly Hills, 90210 reruns?And is it bad that I can somehow relate different elements and events in my life to a 90210 episode?OK, yes.It is bad.

I ran my first 10K race on Saturday.Don't kid yourself; it sucked.But it would have been far suckier if my friend (we'll call her Cecelia) hadn't been there to cheer me on.I'm sure it sucked for her, too ... she had a cold and I was one of the last runners to finish.But I did it, by God!Can't wait 'til the next one.

About ten days ago my mom was walking down the stairs at her home when she felt a "pop" in her right leg just below the knee."Strange," she thought. "That didn't feel so good."She found out Friday, after visiting an orthopedic surgeon, that her leg is broken.How do ya like that?!Broken!Just from walking down stairs. And, she had been walking around on it for ten days while broken!Unbelievable.She

Here's a question.What do you do when you see someone, at the mall perhaps, that you really don't want to talk to?Do you:a - act like you didn't see them and run for the hills?orb - do the nice thing and approach them anyway?You tell me.

Oh.While we're on the subject of mispronounced words ...It's jaguar.NOT jagwire.And for that matter ...There is only one r is sherbet.Therefore, if I hear one more person pronounce it sherbert, I may have to kick said person's ass.

Is it too much to ask for some grocery store (other than WalMart, because we all know how I feel about WalMart) to offer some whole wheat tortilla chips?Apparently it is, because I can't find them anywhere!Dang!

We all have our fave scents or smells.I love the smell of freshly mown grass, rain-scented candles, and markers (yes, markers!).But what I wanna know is ...... what is your least favorite smell?Patchouli would be at the top of my "scents I found most oh-so-heinous" list.Blecch.
