DUI

What the heck is up with this? Can't Paris pay someone to driver her drunk ass around town? Couldn't she carpool with Mel Gibson or Haley Joel Osment? Why are all these celebrities driving around loaded? Am I the only one who thinks this is totally nuts? Either get a DD or stay the heck home and get trashed on your patio.

Like I do. Gawd.

Secrets

Post Secret: I love this site. It always makes me feel better to read someone else's secret....it reminds me that my life just ain't that tough.

Burn

I've been on a slow burn lately. I think it's my age. Or maybe my hormones. Or maybe my job. Or maybe I just always hated everything in the entire world and never realized it. I've been thinking about what I want to do with my life now that I'm not defined by motherhood. Who knew there was an end to that tunnel? It sure caught me by surprise.

I want to do stuff I've never done and go places I've never been. I want to go to the desert. I want to camp, even though nature basically scares the crap out of me. I want to take off in the car with a tent and a laptop and see where I wind up.

And before I die, I will go to Burning Man.

Claymates

What's up with Clay Aiken and his new look? Decidedly creepy. I saw him the other night on Entertainment Tonight getting powder-puffed and hairstlyed before a photo shoot for his new record. He was getting worked over with a flat iron. No lie. That 'do requires styling? I figure a ride in a convertible with the top down would be all that's necessary.

After much too much contemplation, I realized who Clay reminded me of. He's obviously been possessed by Chris Gaines. It's the only explanation. Garth "retires" and then Clay arrives on scene? Think about it....have you ever seen them both in the same room at the same time?

I rest my case.
