I AM SO FREAKING SICK OF HEARING ABOUT CHARLIE SHEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whew. Glad that is out there. I am not one to obsess over celebrities, never have been. I just don't care...they are just people. It infuriates me to no end how Americans have this sick obsession with celebrities and people become "famous" for the MOST ridiculous things, i.e., Jersey Shore, Bachelor, etc. I hate those shows. I know a lot of people love reality tv and a lot of people use it as their "break" from reality, which we all need, but good lord...let's get a grip. Whatever insane things Charlie Sheen is doing, it AIN'T newsworthy, nor stupid Lindsay Lohan for that matter. They wanna ruin their life, let em'! Stop talking about him 24/7, is that what our media has come to? I read a great article on cnn.com yesterday comparing news coverage of Sheen to our fallen soldiers, it's nothing short of heartbreaking. Our TRUE heroes (troops, fireman, police, etc.) deserve WAY more attention than the latest newsworthy(less) celebrity.
UGH. Rant over. Sorry, just had to get that out there.
With that being said...I wake up this morning to turn on the Today Show and learn about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It is so mind numbing if you truly stop and think about all the things that go on in our world that you have no control over. These are the important things the news shows (yes, today show...i'm looking at you!) should cover. I am so saddened to hear of all the loss that has occurred in Japan, if that doesn't make you stop and take a minute to realize how precious life is, I don't know what will.
A friend of mine just found out her husband was diagnosed with cancer...I still can't quite grasp how these horrible things happen, but the outlook is positive and I pray that the doctors are able to remove all of the cancerous cells next week.
We have no plans this weekend, what!?! I am so excited about this. *Well, with the exception of a birthday party for a sweet ONE year old* I think we are finally going to see The King's Speech tonight, hello date night!! It's been a while. I'm looking forward to sleeping in (yes, that's my favorite thing to do!), working out, cleaning and SHOPPING!!
I think social media is such a catch 22. It is SO time consuming sometimes, and yes...I realize I don't have to make it a priority. But, I use twitter and blog reading as my "outlet." The thing is, I get addicted because you find so much good information, deals, etc. via social media that i would have never known about...it's a vicious cycle...i just keep coming back for more! It truly is amazing how many deals I have been able to take advantage of by being on twitter or reading someone's blog. I almost don't like to buy anything anymore without seeing what other people have said about it, or seeing if there are any coupons, etc. But this all takes TIME!
Okay, sorry the jumbled thoughts today! It's Friday folks, and that's just how it is:)

I couldn't agree more about Charlie Sheen! Why is he so great, and why on EARTH did he sell out two theatres with 5,000 seats at least? WHAT is he going to do? Stand there and say "Winning!" ?! Haha! Glad I'm not alone on that, and hope you're having a good week! Virginia www.sweetcarolinagirlvm.blogspot.com
