News: Octomom Seeks Trademark

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 08:35:00 +0000

Octomom Seeks Trademark APRIL 15--The California woman who gave birth in January to eight babies has filed an application to trademark the word "Octomom," which she wants to slap on disposable diapers and assorted clothing items. (click on link to read rest of story)

You know, when Nadya story first came out about having all those children, I didn't pay much attention to it. But, as the story is is evolving I am just getting more and more intrigued with Octomom.

Having an Entrepreneurial mind, I thought it was very calculating and interesting how Nadya trademarked "Octomom" as much as she hates that name. I also like the fact that she is trying to secure a TV Deal and start her own line children's clothing and diapers. She is going to write her own book as well. She also mentioned in a recent article that she is making such good money right now that she does not need to go back to work. And I agree! Have you seen all the interviews she has done? As a Business person, I give her props. Even though she chose a poor way to do it. (Have 14 kids)

It's like a train wreck and she continues to entertain me. I am truly interested in whatever she has to produce.

Concert: Britney Spears in SLC, Utah!

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 03:48:00 +0000

YES! I went to Britney Spears as an early birthday present. It was fun! But in order to go, I had to dress up. So I wore my daughters blond Hannah Montana wig, pink boa and pink/black bustier. I love to dress up for different things like special events or my birthday. The Pussy Cat Dolls opened for Britney Spears. She was really good and still a great performer. This is the first concert I have been in a long time. My very first concert was with Rod Stewart, my second Concert was Cher. This will be my third concert in my Life. I would like to go to Madonna if she would tour in the USA. I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS!!!

Restaurant Review: Cracker Barrel

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 07:07:00 +0000

This Saturday we ate at Cracker Barrrel. I have been there a few times. They have southern style food, which you really don't find at a lot of restaurants.

Anyway we got Country Fried Steak, Fried Okra and Macaroni and Cheese. Plus Sweet Tea and Biscuits with butter and jam.

Now, first of all I am not a huge fan or chicken or country fried steak. But I do enjoy theirs. Plus there is always enough to share. I absolutely love their tea that day we went. It was so good! I kept getting more and more. The food is also really inexpensive and when I got fried okra instead of turnup greens, the sides were really cheap to get so it still didn't cost a lot. I really love their mac and cheese too.

I also love that they have an old country store with old country items. They had seemed to be promoting a new Dolly Parton CD, which I thought was cute. It was relaxing to go there for lunch. I highly recommend it. :)

Comeback: Eminem

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:16:00 +0000

Official Eminem Website Well, it looks like Eminem made a comeback with the new video "Made With You" . I am not really sure how I feel about it, maybe the same as partner, that his new song is mediocre compared to his past work as an music artist. Although I still feel that this is just his comeback song so that he will get the attention he has missed this past few years. I personally glad to have him back. I think he is very talented and I am sure his work will get better as his return does.

Story about my 1990 Toyota Camry...

Story about Goldie

I just thought I would tell you all a quick recap of the story of my car blowing up and you can read the rest of the story at the link above. Basically I was driving home one day, I heard a pop, pulled over and was told to get out of my car because it was about to blow up, I was on the news and then they did a fundraiser and now I am getting a new car. Please read the link above for the whole story.

News: Police: Man fires at Utah McDonald's drive-thru after learning only breakfast available

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:48:00 +0000

Story SALT LAKE CITY - Police said a customer fired one or two shots into a Salt Lake City McDonald's after the driver of the car he was in was told the restaurant was not serving lunch yet. Police said the female driver of a white Dodge Intrepid pulled up to the drive-thru and ordered from the lunch menu early Sunday but was told only breakfast was available. Police said two men then got out of the car and one pulled a sawed-off shotgun from the trunk, shooting into the drive-thru window once or twice, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Monday. No one was injured. The car then left the scene.

Ok, first with this story, I am glad no one was hurt. Two, I wanted to post about this story yesterday but was worried because I was a little amused but at the same time take violence against human and animals VERY SERIOUSLY, especially this day and age. But today I figured its okay, it was in a way funny and I wanted to stick to my Hamburger theme. So, if I offend anyone, I do apologize ahead of time.

Well, first of all its funny...because I think the MAJORITY of the time people complain about them ending breakfast too soon. At least I DO. I happen to live in SLC, Utah and breakfast ends at 10:30 am during the weekdays and I think on the weekends at 11 am. I LOVE my McDonald's Chicken Biscuit and will do whatever I can to get it 2-3 times a week! LOL! : D

News: Warning sought for burger the size of your head

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 06:32:00 +0000

Story GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The West Michigan Whitecaps say they have no plans to put a warning label on an enormous new hamburger they're selling this season — despite a vegan advocacy group's request to do just that.Susan Levin, a staff dietitian for the Washington-based Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, sent a letter to the Grand Rapids minor-league team on Tuesday. She's asking that the 4,800-calorie burger be labeled a "dietary disaster" that increases the risk of cancer and heart disease.The 4-pound, $20 burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips — all on an 8-inch bun.Whitecaps spokesman Mickey Graham says the burger is a gimmick that's being promoted as a very unhealthy menu item.

I figured I would stick to my Hamburger theme since I will be having Carl's Jr. tomorrow to celebrate a particular event and April 1st will be that day!

Anyway, regarding the story, I think its people's decision to eat something healthy or unhealthy and I think the majority of the time they know what it is or not. Grown adults are not children, if you treat them like children then they later like to blame THEIR mistakes on everyone else and then also later SUE! So, I think they should only put the warning label to prevent grown adults from being childish to save their asses. GO WHITECAPS!

This Commercial, I kept hearing about for weeks, after seeing the news about it again online I finally decided to watch it, about the woman making love to a cheeseburger - more or less.

News: Madonna applies to adopt girl in Malawi

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 06:01:00 +0000

Madonna applies to adopt girl in Malawi LILONGWE (Reuters) – Madonna's bid to adopt a second Malawian child, a girl called Mercy James, will be examined by a court in the southern African country next week, officials said Friday.The 4-year-old would be a sister for Madonna's three children including David, whose adoption by the U.S. pop star aroused controversy, and comes from the same orphanage."Her name is Mercy James from Mchinji Home of Hope orphanage. She has no father and mother, they both died... We finished the assessment yesterday in readiness for the courts next week," an official at the ministry of Gender and Child Development told Reuters....

I am glad Madonna is going to adopt again, she is so blessed to help out so many with her life and to build her a bigger family. I am sad about her divorce but things happen. And it seems she has moved on. Although, I thought they would never divorce. Madonna is currently on tour Internationally.

NEWS: 22 year old Girl Auctioning Off Virginity

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 08:40:00 +0000

22-Year-Old Auctioning Off Her VirginityGoing once....

A Sacramento State grad is putting her virginity on the auction block to help pay for her studies.

"I don't think auctioning my virginity will solve all my problems, but it will create some financial stability," the 22-year-old (who uses the pseudonym "Natalie Dylan") says on tonight's The Insider. "I'm ready for the controversy ... I'm ready to do this." Dylan says she's already taken a polygraph test to prove her virginal status and is also willing to undergo a medical exam. She says she hopes to net up to a million dollars from the auction, which will take place in Nevada at the infamous Moonlight Bunny Ranch (eBay turned her down). "Through this process I'm not just looking for the highest bidder," she says, adding, "I'm looking for someone who is a genuine, overall nice person." Howard Stern has denied a report that he is affiliated with the auction.

I thought this story was interesting. The girl was recently on a radio show I listen to in my town, I honestly think she was a little snobby. But Congratulations to her new opportunities and new found wealth! :)

Went to Vegas....VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 06:39:00 +0000

Yes I went to Las Vegas overnight and had a blast. I did lose money but bleh who cares. We had a FREE room at the Bellagio Hotel & Casino and we also had some free play credits and food credit. We also did a lot of walking! Regardless if you have money or not, there is ALWAYS something to do in Vegas! We also had the Champagne Brunch at The Mirage I think. That is the best BUFFET I Have EVER HAD! Anyway sorry for lack of updates. :P

Product Review: Snuggie (As Seen On TV)

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 06:36:00 +0000

Snuggie - The Blanket with Sleeves! (Official Site) Blankets are OK but they can slip and slide, plus your hands are trapped inside. The Snuggie™ keeps you totally warm and gives you the freedom to use your hands. Work the remote, use your laptop or do some reading in total warmth and comfort! Snuggie™ is made with super soft, thick, luxurious fleece with roomy, oversized sleeves that let you do what you want while still being totally wrapped in warmth.

For a while I was curious about getting a blanket with sleeves - whether a Snuggie or Slanket because I am at home person who likes to be as relaxed as possible plus it being dead of Winter, I would like to keep extra warm.

So, I ended up getting one for Christmas and I absolutely love it! I can wear tank tops and capris or shorts to bed plus keep the heat down real low and work on my laptop, or play on my DS without having to worry about being cold.

Christmas 2008

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 20:37:00 +0000

The big presents for my Daughter was a Leapster, dress up trunk & like Hannah Montana outfit, she also got a Barbie house and a bunch of Barbies, and a personalized towel with her name on it. Overall it was a good Christmas. :)

Movie Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (possible Spoilers)

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 05:59:00 +0000

IMDB Summary "I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918 to the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, Benjamin Button is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

This was a wonderfully made movie. Just like Brad Pitt's wife Angelina movie "Changeling". I was thinking that they both made very intriguing movies and I enjoyed them both very much.

Anyway back to the movie. Brad Pitt plays the main character Benjamin who was born an old man and as he ages he gets younger instead of older. In the turn of events he falls in love of course.

The only part of the movie I was not too fond of is when he meets the woman he loves when they are both 7 and he is an old man, that to me was a bit disturbing but after they both were growing, it got easier to deal with LOL!

When they were both in their mid-twenties they finally got together and did it, I though the leading female character played by Cate Blanchett seemed all too excited to sleep with Brad Pitt period! LOL! Whether or not on film LOL! At first I was apprehensive about Cate Blanchett playing Brad's love interest but then I warmed up to her and felt she was good for the role.

I thought it was sad when his mom died, she loved her baby Benjamin when no one else did. I also thought it was ironic for him to grow up with a bunch of old people considering he himself, was old when he was born.

Watching the movie also wanted me to go sailing or do something with the water a little bit, since I have never gone sailing.

When Cate Blanchett's character got pregnant, I was surprised for one the baby survived and two, that he was the father through the whole movie to this child, from the beginning of the movie.

It was a long movie - 3 hours long. But I know I will buy it when it does come out on DVD. The movie was also nominated for 5 Golden Globes!

I get 5 Stars! :)

Restaurant Review: Z'Tejas

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 08:56:00 +0000

When we arrived we got a seat right away, so no wait. Which was nice since it looked like a nice looking restaurant when we stepped in.

Our waitress was also very attentive to our refills and request for anything additional.

For an appetizer they brought us this delicious Corn Bread. OMG it was so good and on this little skillet. I wanted more but I wanted to save my appetite for dinner.

We had ordered a Chicken Smothered Burrito with a side of sour cream and guacamole. I thought the Smother Burrito reminded me of the Mayan Chimi that we had shared and ate. It was good and easy to eat. I wish it would have some other type of red sauce or more of it. It didn't seem to have enough red sauce and it said it was "smothered". So that was a little disappointing. :(

For Dessert we had a Cranberry Tres Leches Cake. It was pretty good, it seemed a little flaky. But it was still really good.

Overall it was a pretty decent restaurant, not my favorite but I would go there again. :)

DVD Review: The House Bunny & Spoiler

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 09:01:00 +0000

IMDB Summary When Shelly, a Playboy bunny, is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta. The members of the sorority - who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house. They need a dose of what only the eternally bubbly Shelley can provide... but they will each learn on their own to stop pretending to be what others want them to be and start being themselves.

I thought this was such a cute movie! I think perfect timing to do the movie since Hugh Hefner and his ex-girlfriend's are famous with The Girl's Next Door. There are also a lot of Famous Cameos such as Hugh, Bridget, Holly and Kendra and others. It was just a fun movie after work and when you are ready to start the weekend with nothing but a happy ending.

TV Show Review: Snoop Dogg; Fatherhood

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 08:03:00 +0000

Snoop Dogg; Fatherhood Rap Star Snoop Dogg does Reality TV about him and his family.

I Love it. I just think Snoop Dogg is so cute! Not as in like hot or anything but just like a sweet hearted fellow...reminds me of my dad. I think Snoop Dogg has calmed down a lot and is done with all the PIMPin & hardcore attitude and ready to be there for his family, who need him more than Hollywood. I think its just sweet. I have always thought Snoop had a softer side. His family is cute too.

We also have another thing in common. I have always wanted to try fried chicken and waffles and he eats it LOL!

Food Review: Spinach

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 06:27:00 +0000

I LOVE SPINACH! I love it so much that I decided to do a Blog post about it. LOL!

When I grew up my mother used to buy the canned Spinach, like the kind that Popeye eats. I never had much of an opinion about Spinach till now. :D

I now enjoy fresh or frozen Spinach. My favorite is Spinach and Cheese Lasagna and Spinach and Cheese Savorings. I am also trying to look for more Spinach recipes to try. :)

Canned Spinach is not really good and its soggy like.

Sorry Popeye!

It Snowed in Las Vegas and as of a week ago it FINALLY SNOWED IN UTAH!

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 06:16:00 +0000

Winter Weather Hits Las Vegas
The Clark County School District has closed schools for Thursday. Students and teachers do not have to report to school, but the district says all administrators, 12-month employees, and office staff should report to work as usual. No flights are taking off or landing at McCarran International Airport due to poor visibility and flights from around the country that are headed to Las Vegas are being kept on the ground until the weather improves. Ian Gregor with the FAA says McCarran doesn't have any snow removal equipment, so planes can't leave safely. US-95 is closed at Mile Marker 16, just north of Searchlight due to poor road conditions and an accident. Nevada Highway Patrol and NDOT have also closed US-95 at Railroad Pass due to ice and snow.

Wow, I am surprised in Snowed in Vegas. I see that they had shut down schools and such, to me that sounds like something only the South would do LOL. I only remember it snowing in Vegas when I was a kid and I remember a snow flake falling on this piece of junk car. That is as far as my memory goes back of being a kid and living in Las Vegas. (I was born and raised till I was 14 years old and then I had moved to Utah with my family).

Speaking of Utah, it had FINALLY snowed here! I am surprised and hate it. I almost slipped on black ice three times. Its horrible. I love it though because I did want to take snow pictures this year since I do not have any and it is good for Christmas to have snow I guess. You know, White Christmas and all. But because of the part that I dislike about it very much, I was considering buying myself a bath of snow salt and/or good snow boots. Depends. We did go sledding briefly one evening, that was fun. I mostly watched. LOL! And took pictures of course. :)

Tila Tequila: A Shot at Love, MySpace & Hooking up with Tila Tequila

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 04:02:00 +0000

TILA TEQUILA (MySpace) Famous for have over one million friends on MySpace, Shot at Love 1 & 2 with Tequila, her music and now her new book Hooking up with Tila Tequila.

When I first heard of Tila Tequila, when they were doing the reality show about "Shot at Love with Tila Tequila". I thought oh, this is interesting. Then later I realized during the show that I thought she was just a fame whore and a liar. I never really believed that she was bi-sexual when she chose a man, so she lied and then when she did A Shot at Love 2, I thought she was just a fame whore. Anyway for some stupid reason I had her on my Friends List on MySpace. I had kept meaning to delete it and never did.

Then on MySpace she kept talking about her new album and such, which I was like whatever I need to delete you but was too lazy to do. Finally she has this book out called "Hooking up with Tila Tequila". Then I realized there is ONE thing I REALLY admire about her and that is Entrepreneurial spirit. She is a very Enterprising, Industrial woman. I LOVE THAT! That is my DREAM. She is in a way living my dream. Sad huh?

More TWILIGHT News: "Twilight" director won't shoot sequel

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 07:19:00 +0000

"Twilight" director won't shoot sequel Hardwicke, gestures at the premiere of the movie 'Twilight' at the Mann …LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke won't shoot the second picture in the fledgling vampire franchise. Hardwicke had until recently been thought a candidate to direct the sequel, titled "New Moon," but word began to circulate in the industry that her relationship with series producer Summit Entertainment has not always been smooth. On Sunday, Summit confirmed that Hardwicke would not direct the film, saying in a statement that its plans to release the film in late 2009 or early 2010 did not mesh with Hardwicke's required prep time.The picture, whose start date has not yet been set, will nontheless reunite writer Melissa Rosenberg and actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Summit has not named a new director, but it is likely to want to move relatively quickly on the sequel after the original earned nearly $139 million in three weeks of release. Hardwicke had initially been considered a bold choice for "Twilight." She made her name with indie breakout "Thirteen" and also directed the period religious tale "The Nativity Story." The combination proved winning, though, as the midrange-budgeted "Twilight" became one of the fall's biggest hits."New Moon" is the second installment in Stephenie Meyer's four-book series and also centers on vampires in a small town in Washington state, this time with a more prominent role given to a teenage werewolf. Reuters/Hollywood Reporter

After all the HYPE and Watching the Premiere of Twilight, hearing about getting a new Director sounds like great news! I thought the book and the Twilight series was a very interesting read but when I saw Twilight in the theaters I was truly disappointed. Like I said in my last post, I just wish they it could have flowed better and kept a good part of the story line. Instead it was rushed and choppy.

I think a new director will take a critical look of the movie and do a better job. At least that is what I am hoping. I am not expecting it to be the same, just better. I am going to watch the sequel. I also kind of figured they would get a new director because of the reviews that it got from its critics. I also new that they would rush production to keep the Twilight franchise going...this is not a story you can just sit on. Especially with its huge fan base.

I am looking forward to the sequel and I have not finished reading Breaking Dawn yet, more or less sad its the last book of the series I will be reading :(

Britney's BACK!

noreply@blogger.com (Jacquelyn) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 03:26:00 +0000

Photo by RollingStone.com

Yes after Britney whirlwind couple of years...from shaving her head, have two kids and getting married and divorced...now that she has passed through the bad and good stuff she is ready to get back on track.

Her new CD "Circus" came out today (December 2nd 2008) on her 27th Birthday! Her new song "Womanizer" is a top ten song on the music charts. She did a Documentary "Britney Spears - For the Record" to explain what she has been going through those last couple of years and why she did the things she did. I watched it and think she looks a lot healthier than she has been. No one no longer mocks her and I think she finally has the respect she deserves. Although everyone is demanding her back into the spotlight. I sense though she still just wants a normal life. During her documentary I had watched her and I completely forgot she had children, it was like it was Brand New Britney Spears all over again.

She also has been collaborating with Madonna (my favorite artist of all time). And Madonna says in Britney's documentary that she feels maternal towards her, which I can completely see why.

Anyway HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITNEY! :)
