Shout Out to Donna

June 6th, 2009

I’m the first to admit that I’m not really good at checking emails regularly. I might sign on every day for a week or two and then not get around to it for 10 days or so because I get busy at home. So I was surprised to log in the other day and find an email from . . . Donna Lundy! How funny!

There is another Donna Lundy out there and she came across my blog and sent an email to say hello. That was so cool!

This is not a very common name and I guess I’m glad that I got the domain name first. I had not even thought of that until now. When I was in school there were several other kids named Donna, but now you hardly ever hear of new baby girls being named Donna. That’s a shame – it’s a nice name – very wholesome and hard to misspell.

Perky Perky Rachael

June 3rd, 2009

In the mornings I have the TV on CBS so I can watch/listen to the morning news while I get dressed, fix breakfast, tend to the dogs, etc.

If the morning routine is running long, the Rachael Ray show comes on. Some mornings I just turn off the TV and play some of my favorite music while I finish up, and other mornings I just leave the TV running and listen to Rachael Ray.

She has some interesting guests and segments, but most of her cooking and recipes are just pasta and burgers and I’m really not interested in 2001 ways to fix hamburger patties.

I have to admit she is a cute young thing, but a little too perky for me to tolerate in the mornings. If her show was on at 7:00 pm I would be a more appreciative audience and might even get to watch the shows. But at 9:00 am – I can’t handle the perkiness and I’m not able to just sit down and watch the whole show. I have a life!
