OF BONES & BINGEWATCHING....

EXHIBIT A
 HO-HO- HO !! So I present to you a "Bone Fragment" from the Bumble Bee Chunk White Albacore that my 85 year Old mom almost swallowed while alone. Now I know that the can states "may contain bone fragments" but give me a break! Of course , now that I am a writer ehem, I typed up a letter to Consumer Affairs for Bumble Bee, and I enclosed both Exhibits...will keep you guys update on their answer if there is any...
Ok so that takes care of the Bones portion of my Blog lets move on to another topic that Moms, Men & Menopause Women are concerned about: feeling guilty about Binge watching shows on Netflix. What I noticed yesterday , yes on Chritmas day were tweets about ppl being concerned that they were getting carried away watching over and over episodes. Let me tell you my dear audience WELCOME TO THE 21ST CENTURY. I am guilty but I dont feel guilty that I do this. My case over this Holiday was Binge watch the HBO SHOW GIRLS. At first I found it amusing and cute that these girls/ guys were all sleeping with each other in hipster side of NY -Brooklyn to be exact. Now mind you I love binge watching on my I-phone and I feel completely comfortable doing so in my tiny 5S screen, while my mother, cat & son watch me mesmerized. LOL
So yes, I kept watching , my last episode was Season 2 - Episode 5 and STOP , DO WE REALLY NEED TO SEE LENA DUNHAM (HANNAH) with her top off showing her breasts while playing ping-pong?? Really? Now I can finally understand why ppl have this passive -aggressive relationship with her and her character. To be honest to me she looks like the female version of the actor Paul Giamatti- Yes Pig Vomit in the Howard Stern movie. This show is just a rip off of Sex & the City -yes they proudly display a poster of said show in one of the episodes. And yes they are both from HBO. Speaking of HBO, the show that you have to watch and play close attention to is THE COMEBACK w/ Lisa Kudrow, now thats a show you need to pay close attention to, because even if I watch the same episode over and over again I always find something new and with a twist. The acting is superb , the writing is amazeballs . SHOUT OUT TO MICHAEL PATRICK KING !!! You my dear are a King or ummm maybe Queen. Bow down B!tches.

....tis the season to be jolly ?!!!

Ok oK, so it shouldnt be that bad, breathe!! Or just take a sip of your spiced apple cider or egg nog-wink.
After a few days of waking up w/ physical stress pain, I said no more, this ends today. This is the season to be jolly , yep , so lets do this!
Monday: started with a bang, a networking bang, in Englewood Cliffs, swanky. And met a couple of younger networkers. Hope we keep in touch. Ha
Ummm no I mean it , I am a loyal viewer of the Profit and most of my tweeps know that my new Twitter crush is none other than Marcus -swoon!
But there is room for more crushes -wink wink.
Fast Forward to Thursday, I attended at Montclair University the very first Solve for X by Google presented by GDG NORTH JERSEY. Whats your X? Well you have to present this as what Google calls it "moonshot", meaning you idea to save the World! (ummm no I mean it)
SO after a blistering cold nite, I finally got to my car, kind of wondering how this whole picture is not clear. Meaning whats Googles roll in all this? It was interesting but not clear. I also didnt forget my promise to start my typing For Tanji project. I am comitted to do this......soon?
Yes, soon! At least after the crazy Holiday season ends. And drum roll, I joined Instagram, and yuck ! Totally not an Instagram person at all, maybe because I am just not into FB either. I lol'd this a.m when I read this am>> Twitter founder snaps: "I frankly dont give a shit if Instagram has more people looking at pretty pictures" LMAO I couldnt agree more.
So my advice stick to the social media you love best ! And please dont forget to be Jolly !

A WEEK OF POP CRAZY

Ok, so lots of interesting things going on happening, other than the obvious ummmm hashtag NYC and you know what I am referring to unless of course you live under a rock. So speaking of NYC , and yes that same day, the X-mas Tree lighting ceremony was on NBC, I watched Tony Bennett & Gaga duet, check (more about that later) , watched PENTATONIX,opening the ceremony check, and oh yeah then there was Mariah....sigh
Now I was one of the bashers , that had my ears pierced and was shaking my head during here appearance. I am a looooong time fan of hers, I've bought the Remix CD twice ,cause yes I played it so much it scratched and Yes this was before I-tunes. But today I listened to my new tweep @TriniTrent you may want to visit his website www.thelavalizard.com and yes I was laughing like crazy and yes I RT'd him and yes I followed him and Yes he has a point. Before we start all judging and laughing and cracking jokes about Mariah, he is right , lets not have her become a Whitney , or an Amy Whinehouse, lets protect and get help for Mariah now. Yep, LEAVE MARIAH ALONE!! at first I was like what are these You-Tubers talking about, but then I reflected, we are quick to judgement these days. And yes she needs a break, she may be a Diva ,ok ok, but she is and always has been excellent singer. Also , All I want for X-mas is You has been the only song that is truly a X-mas Classic Hit to me and always will be.
So, that said, let me head over to Gaga, I listened to her interview w/ Howard Stern. Quite interesting, and just when I was going to dismiss her album w/ Tony OMG she sang live Lush Life and I truly had to listen to the song a total of 6 times, watched it on YouTube 10 times, and the vocals, the range! Let me tell you that is a truly truly difficult song. And I was amazed that the writer of the song was only 19 when he composed it! and she found out after he died that he was gay. But guys listen to that song. It will move your soul, if you have one.

Gosh (In Napolean Dynamite voice) this week was cray-cray. I started out as depressed as my bank account , but all of a sudden I am embracing the Holiday Spirit!!! yay, this year my Company is not printing no calendars or corny cards, this year we are going door to door and give my customers the special touch they deserve! That's right , I love my customers, and even though we lost a huge one this year (due to a stupid bidding process) we are blessed to have the ones we have. Thank you , thank you! You know who you are ! See you next Friday, or you can follow me daily on the Twitter (aghhh hate when ppl call it that)
Me listening to Mariah
