Base Tan

It's Memorial Day weekend, the traditional start of summertime. I love hanging out at the pool, being around water and wearing shorts because it is extremely hot here in Alabama.

Problem is I am very fair complected being that I am a freckled redhead. solution is spry-on sunscreen and common sense.

Below is an illustration showing my current skin tone and also pointing out some of my problem burn areas:

Do Not look Directly at the Skin Without Sun Glasses

My "goal tan" is depicted next. This would be acheived with the optimum mix of sunlight that has been filtered through layers of UV 30+ constantly reapplied through the day.

Having Not a Bad Day

I never really get use to being right all the time.

Congrats to Taylor Hicks and all the Idol contestants. They are all winners aren't they?

Yo, Dog Check It Out

Tonight I am hanging wit my peeps (Laura and Larry, pictured above)... We will be having an American idol viewing party.

I am calling my shot right now before they even perform ... Taylor Hicks will win it this year.



Reasons he will win:

A) He is from Alabama

B) He did not dye his hair when handlers and stylists suggested he do so

C) He is a twitching-funky-dancing freak

D) He can sing

E) Great cleavage (NO... wait... that's why Katherine might win)

F) America loves it when he looks like a dad doing karaoke at a picnic

Mystery Solved

Ok so Kelsey is staying with me tonight and I told her I thought the mystery woman she sketched (see previous post) is "Katherine McPhee"... nope

"Mischa Barton" ... nope

"Katie Holmes" .... nope

"Kami" ... who the heck is Kami? ... nope

It is Michelle Rodriguez who plays "Ana Lucia Cortez of ABC's hit series Lost.


Thanks for all the help anyway.

Who Is This?

My daughter drew this woman/girl's face this morning on my refridgerator note board then asked me to guess who it was. It is a celebrity and my daughter was put-out with me for not knowing immediately who it was.

I guessed "Kate Winslet" and then she told me that it obviously was not a redhead because of the eyebrows.

Then she said she would not tell me. Are all 16 year old girls this sensitive?

Help me guess who the freak it is!

I am thinking a TV star and not a movie star.

Quality TV

If you are not watching this NBC show then you are missing the best show ever. I weep for you.

A dreaded call from my ex:
"Kelsey's (our daughter) had a wreck but she's alright."

A few minutes later I get a call from my daughter to fill me in:

K: "Dad?"
me: "Are you okay?"
K: "yeah..."
me: "what happened?"
K: "...it was right after school and the roads were wet... I wasn't on the phone... and I wasn't fooling with the radio... I might have been following a little too close."
me: "what did you hit?"
K: "... a Jeep Commander... it didn't even hardly get a scratch on it"
me: "... and your car?"
K: "... it is probably totalled... they towed it away"
me: " ..... "
K: "the policeman said I was only going 10mph... my airbag didn't even deploy... it could have been a lot worse."
me: "well you probably learned a valuable lesson"
K: " a valuable lesson? ... I didn't do anything wrong"
me: "Okay... you've had a valuable experience" (I am such a pushover)
