I had the TV on the other day and some annoying queen on one of those "Entertainment" show was talking about the fashions at the MTV music awards and he blasted Adele. He called her frumpy and an old maid or something of that nature. I am just happy to see a woman these days not wearing something that is too tight or shows her pussy. I am sorry but Adele has got it. She is simply talented and that frightens people (Gaga). I say keep up the good work gurl and PLEASE don't let them try to change you. You don't need to loose weight or do a dance album or try to be "popular" or outrageous. Be true to your own style and first and foremost be a musician. The people who recognize true talent will love you for it.




Get More: 2011 VMA, Music, Adele

This is so true!


My kitchen and new sink.

It has been a little over a month that I have been in my new home and I have been slowly working on it getting it just the way I want it. I waited till today because I knew I might need some help with some of the pipes (and I did) because this new sink is bigger and deeper than the old one and I had my contracter here working on my front door.
The sink is a black granite composite Pegasus Drop-in/Undercounter 22 in. x 33 in. Double Bowl Kitchen Sink and the faucet is the Glacier Bay Series 400 Single-Handle Pull-Down Sprayer Kitchen Faucet in Chrome.
 This is my old sink. Nothing wrong with it but after 20 years of renting I want what I want and not what comes with the place. LOL

Currently Watching - Star Dust (1940)

This is the second Linda Darnell movie of the day. I have to support the Dallas girl!

Linda Darnell, one of five children of a postal clerk, grew up fast. At 11, she was modeling clothes, giving her age as 16. At 13, she was appearing on the stage with little theater groups. Her mother encouraged her to audition when Hollywood talent scouts came to Dallas. She went to California and when the studio found out how young she really was, she was sent home and told to come back when she was 15. Her fourth film, Star Dust (1940), was based on this real life experience.


Currently Watching - A Letter to three Wives (1949)

This is a fantastic movie made even better by the supporting cast.
A letter is addressed to three wives from their "best friend" Addie Ross, announcing that she is running away with one of their husbands--but she doesn't say which one.











This clip makes me laugh every time. That room shaking when the train goes by is so funny. I love Thelma Ritter and Connie Gilchrist.

Should I laugh or should I cry?

I am shocked and amazed at the way people act. Or to be more concise they way one person will treat another person with no regard to their feelings. I have not been out on a date or even really hooked up or met anyone in a very long time. Considering my track record I am a bit gun shy. But, there was this guy on Bear411 who had been pushing for quite some time saying how hot he thought I am and how much he wanted to meet me. I kept making excuses but he finally wore me down and I let him know he could come over this evening.
Now I want to stress again how he kept telling me he though i was hot. I just recently posted a few photos from last weekend that my friend, Grant took of me. and he started calling me a hot muscle bear. Now, I will take some complements but I am far from a muscle bear. I told him that I am just a short, fat little bear with very little muscle. This is the way I usually describe myself. I don't try to be something I am not.
So, I see him pull up and start walking to the door and I was absolutely sick to my stomach. I was so nervous. I go to answer the door and open it and the smile that was on his face is gone in an instant. I said hello and invited him in and he hesitated. I ask if there was something wrong and he said "I'm sorry, I need to go." I ask again what was wrong and he said "You just are not what I expected." I suddenly see spots before my eyes and hear a loud buzzing in my ears. I said "I'm sorry, but my pics are very recent and I described myself. I am just a short, fat little bear." He looked at me and said "You didn't say you were THAT FAT!"
I am not exactly sure what happened next. I might have punched him or that might have just been in my head. I just know that after a bit I realized I was sitting on my couch alone staring at a wall. I am not sure how long I had been sitting like that. but my dog was looking at me like she was worried. I am strangely unemotional about this right now. I just feel empty. Needless to say, I don't want to go through with that again any time soon.
I really can't believe I am sharing this on my blog. I think I wanted to share the experience because it seems so unreal. I would never treat someone that way. Unbelievable. LOL

Entire Lutheran College Men's Golf Team Suspended After Dropping Pants for Team Photo

The entire men's golf team at Bethany College, a Lutheran college in Kansas, has been suspended after dropping its pants for a team photo in which they covered their man parts with golf clubs.

Sock garters for men...your thought? NSFW

I was going through the blogs that I regularly read every morning and one had a video and in the video one of the guys was wearing sock garters. I couldn't help but think, dose any man still wear sock garters? Well, do you? Let me know. I don't even know where one would buy sock garters.
I have included the video which is VERY NSFW. You have been warned. And yes, even with the hot action all i could think about were the silly garters! Welcome to the inner workings of my head. LOL

Fire! Fire! Fire!...or not

Well, it has already been an exciting morning here at Warwick Castle. Right around 7:30am, while deep asleep I hear this banging. It reminded me of an unbalanced washing machine for some reason. A second later my puppy Rose starts barking her head off and looks terrified like some monster is after her. I jump out of bed and run into the hall and as I do I look out the window down to the front door and there are several firemen out there. This is when I realize that I am stark naked so I run back to the bedroom and throw on some shorts and grab a shirt. That is when the banging tuns into a crash and I hear "HELLO?!?". Rose is going crazy but will not leave my side for fear of the monsters and as I start to go down the stairs and am putting on my shirt here come a fireman up to rescue me.
It turns out that they got a call about a possible fire in the townhouse next door and needed me to get out. They had broken in my door when they hear Rose barking so they could rescue her. I had just enough time to slip on my flip flops and grab Rose's leash and follow the guys out.
I could prettyr much tell, even though there were four (FOUR) fire trucks and several police cars that there was really no emergency just from the general laid back manner that the firemen were conducting business. I could also tell that at least 75% of these guys were hot and there I was with no camera of any kind. Grrrrrrrrr!!!! About 30 minutes later the same fireman who asked me to leave my apartment, a strapping young blond hottie, came out to tell me that everything was clear. He also apologized for the front door but safety first. Part of me really wanted to be pissed about the door but how can you get mad when a sexy man comes charging into your home to rescue you from certain death? At this point I just wanted to get Rose back into the house and check out the damage...and get my camera so i could document this for blog purposes. lol
Natually, by the time i get inside and grab the camera all the guys are back on the trucks and I got nothing other than this story and a broken door. I really want to go back to sleep and have sexy fireman dreams. Le sigh!

I feel...


I am a home improvement god!

I am really so very proud of myself. I just replaced the toilet in the master bath. Now I have never, ever had anyone show me how to do any plumbing but in the past I have figured out how to replace the workings of a toilet and once I had to get and install a new rubber thingy that joins the tank to the bowl for my mom. (Did I just loose points on rubber thingy?) I have also changed out faucets as well and have found it all, for the most part rather easy.
My new house has toilets that are OK but really nothing special. In fact, I believe that the previous owners must have just installed them this year when they updated much of the house to get it sold. My thing is I want something really nice, not just OK. I found these toilets at Sam's for just $99 and knew I had to get them. they are the high efficiency, dual flush, elongated seat, chair height toilets. Premo! LOL
I was going to hire a plumber to do it for me but I kept arguing with myself that the plumber would actually cost more than the fixture and that is ridiculous. I kept telling myself I could do it. the only thing I was really nervous about was the O ring. That is the sticky, waxy, things that seals the toilet to the floor and the plumbing. You always hear on the home improvement show how they warn you not to screw this up. you only get one shot and if you mess up you have to go get another O ring. I have to say...not a problem at all. it would have been easier if I had had someone helping me because that damn thing was heavy and it is not easy lining up the o ring and the two screws and dropping it in place.
Now that this is done I need to get to work on my new kitchen sink. Now that is really going to be pretty!
Here are the photos that I promised my Facebook friends. So exciting! LOL


This was the new toilet out of the box. The hardest part was lugging this upstairs.



The old toilet...Meh





LOL...look at that groovy wallpaper I found behind the toilet. I am so glad that was not all over the walls or I may not have bought this place.





Success...and a big mess that I need to clean up.
