you're gonna lively up yourself, and don't be no drag
you lively up yourself 'cause reggae is another bag
you lively up yourself, and don't say "no"
you're gonna lively up yourself 'cause I said so

happy valentine's day

cnn sends kisses to all her valentines out there

hung up

after i made my turkey tetrazini last night i flipped on the grammys and BAM there was my girl madonna in a purple body suit with farrah fawcett hair performing hung up
she looks great at 47 and has inspired me to renew my gym membership today

hung up brought back memories of my dance party slumber party
purple disco leotards would have been cool with the wigs and hats

not sure what's going on with apple's dad chris martin
he usually appears well-groomed, meek and mild but last night he seemed a little fucked up
his scary bad hair drug-induced appearance brought on a nightmare of me seeing him on a desert road where i ran out of gas and my jeep was jerking back and forth
not sure what that was all about but the melatonin 3mg i took did provide a restful night

always enjoy bono singing "one" and mary j. what's the 411 blige has a powerful voice
although i thought they did a better duo performance at the katrina benefit
her waving arms and screeching voice was a little distracting last night
i would love to belt that song out with bono and i think i could do it
maybe i should start writing to oprah and she could hook me up

hello gritty

hey jojo
do you need the hello kitty belt sander?
boing boing

jo malone

i am just loving my new jo malone boutique fragrance
wild fig and cassis...it's woodsy and delicious
definitely worth the splurge at neiman marcus

you make a dead man...BLEEP

i'm not sure which act was worse

soup to nuts

my friend patty and i took a nice little walk over to the food source in bryn mawr for lunch the other day and she used the phrase
"soup to nuts"
i never heard the phrase so she just sent me an email explaining it...
patty always keeps me updated from soup to nuts whether it be medicare reimbursement or old phrases

What is 'Soup to Nuts'?

The Phrase
It is commonly believed that the phrase From soup to nuts comes from Roman times. The Romans are quite well known for their extravagant and elaborate meals which sometimes lasted several days. They began their meals with a soup course, to get the appetites flowing. Then came course after course of food until, in the end, there was only room left for something small and flavorful - nuts.

In reality, the phrase From soup to nuts was not used until the middle of the 20th Century. It is, however, a variation on a phrase that has existed since at least the 16th Century. In the 17th Century the phrase was From eggs to apples. The foods named in the phrase change, but the meaning remains the same - it means thorough or from beginning to end, sparing no detail. According to etymologist Evan Morris, if we don't change our eating habits, the phrase will soon mutate to something like From Whopper to Haagen Dasz
