The Purr-fect Crime

Meet Dusty, the cat burglar. He can't help himself when he sees a bathing suit drying on the line. He must have it. And he can't be stopped. Read more about Dusty here.

With A Big Red Heart

It's Valentine's Day! My idea of romance is everything that I learned in the movies from Doris Day. It looks good, but how real can it be when the object of your desire is a tall, dark and handsome gay man? So I moved on. I found an online list of TOP TEN ROMANTIC ESCAPES -- which I would find a lot more interesting if number #10 wasn't Dubrovnik. Croatia in February? Seriously? So I skipped over to the New York Times in search of fun love and I found cupid. At least, it made me laugh. And isn't that what Valentine's Day is really all about.

Take A Little Break

It's just one of those days. It's February. It's cold and sunny here, but dreary and snowy in other parts of the world. Things just don't seem so cheerful. I'm in need of an escape. So I wandered over to VanityFair.com where I found a lengthy feature article starring one of my favorites -- the lovely Lauren Bacall. Turns out, Betty, as she's known to her friends, was a big fan of Bette Davis in her youth. That may be the only thing that she and I have in common. But that didn't prevent me from gobbling up every bit of this interview like it was a dark, rich chocolate bar. You'll find it fun too, I'm sure. Just go and make yourself a cup of tea first and find a cozy corner to curl up and enjoy the read.

It's The Little Things That Matter Most

Sometimes you have to slow things down -- way down -- like super slo-mo -- to really appreciate how beautiful they are.

I'm Not Ashamed To Say It

I'm a girl geek. And I'm not afraid to get my geek on when I need to.

Worst Skater Ever? Hmmmm....

I don't know for sure, but I think the guy in the red sweater may have done this a time or two before. What do you think? Improv Everywhere -- the guys that brought you singing in the produce aisle are behind this, so at the very least, it's sure to make you smile.

Trapped Under A Heavy Object

Have you gone to see "The King's Speech" yet? If not, what's holding you back? Twelve Academy Award nominations not enough? And Colin Firth...I mean, what's not to like? For Heaven's sake, how often is the front-runner for "Best Picture" a lovely period piece set in some of the most luxurious palaces and castles in all of England? Usually it's a dark and moody drama set in a ramshackle shack on the bitterly cold and forlorn coast of Nova Scotia. (My apology to my one fan in Nova Scotia...that's wishful thinking on my part. I don't know anyone in Nova Scotia, but I do have family who hails from that neck of the woods, so you just never know when you're out in the wilderness of the World Wide Web. But I digress. "The King's Speech" is a true story about Queen Elizabeth's father -- who got help with his speech impediment from an irreverent Aussiel (Is there any other kind?)  This is a little footage of the real King with his real stammer...just so you know we're not making any of this stuff up.
