Wizard of Odd: Creepy Wedding Cake Toppers

2011-03-13T13:05:00.001-05:00

I have seen some weird, gross and unusual cakes. In my search to find ordinary cakes I came across cake toppers that I never would have imagined anyone would actually use. Photos like these make me wonder what the bride and groom were dressed like. Someone has fond memories of scary movies. The spawn of Frankenstein and a zombie? Okay, this one really creeps me out. Awwww, that's

Fantastic iPhone Photo App

2011-03-13T11:51:00.000-05:00

Instagram is a really great app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Also, it's free! I find myself looking for out of the ordinary shots to take, edit and post. You can view other people's pictures and share yours via Facebook, Flickr and Twitter. What's best about the sharing is that there is no annoying news feed. Now let's move on to the before and after pictures I have taken. If you

Working Angry Birds Cake!

2011-03-03T22:07:00.000-06:00

I have written blogs about cake mishaps and I enjoy those, but I love decorating cakes and the art of doing so. Here is a You Tube video of a working, edible Angry Birds birthday cake. I am very impressed by it. So creatively ingenious! BRAVO! ~ Pattie Hart

Dancing with the Stars: Season 12 Lineup

2011-03-01T08:54:00.002-06:00

......Season 12 lineup........ I am an actor and I am not big on reality television. It takes away jobs for my fellow actors, myself, writers and many more people. My one guilty pleasure in reality television is Dancing with the Stars. But, I almost never watch live. I choose to DVR the show and watch a sitcom or drama live. Those ratings count greatly. I am very excited and at the

2011 Oscar's Red Carpet: Glass Half Full

2011-02-27T21:34:00.002-06:00

A look at the fashion with my "glass half full" style. I love Scarlett, the hair is cute, it just doesn't go with the dress or venue very well. Michelle Williams is lovely and always looks so. I'm just not diggin the roots. Halle, gorgeous as always. As far as her having the same style for the majority of 10 years? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Many people aren't big on stars

2011-02-26T00:40:00.001-06:00

.........Talk about theme weddings! Yowza!!......... Looking for great cake mishaps I came across some crazy cake toppers. One cake topper led me to look into the ceremony behind it and I found a plethora of some serious redneck lovin' goin' on! For the regal hunter's wedding. Aren't those two majestic? Chocolate covered strawberries, shotgun shells, chocolate ducks and a photo of his

My 'Never Say Never' Experience

2011-02-16T00:27:00.002-06:00

...........Is "Bieber Fever" contagious?......... I have never watched a Justin Bieber pre or post fameYouTube video. I have never listened to an entire Bieber song, not counting my 4 year old niece singing 'Baby' while he is barely audible in the background. I have never seen one of his music videos. The most I knew about him before tonight was that he made me smile when he became a

The Biggest Thing To Happen.....

2011-02-13T12:07:00.009-06:00

.........to such a small town. There is a major factor in the entertainment industry that many people forget about. No matter how talented entertainers are, without this there would be no Hollywood studios, no radio, no Broadway and no professional sports. It is the fans of any kind of entertainment. Yes, fans is usually a term for attendees of sports games, but it goes for any kind

Wizard of Odd: Cake Bloopers & Disasters

2011-02-09T14:05:00.002-06:00

.........Seriously? You really thought this through?........ As an amateur cake decorator I find these odd, funny, offensive and lazy. They make me smile, and at times sick to my stomach. I would imagine one or two of these cakes caused the receiver to give a thank you in the form of a flaming bag of poo. How would you like to receive one of these hot messes? Is this cake referring to

2011-02-09T00:20:00.005-06:00

funny.........I want to eat junk food in a VW while listening to 'Tiny Dancer' on my way to toss back a couple of Buds.... There were quite a few really good commercials during the first half of this years Super Bowl. I missed the entire first half of the game and everyone has such a wide range of opinions on which was best. So, I went to this web page that has every commercial available

Ever Seen 'The Shining"?

2011-02-04T12:39:00.001-06:00

.........I am starting to relate to Jack Nicholson.......... As an actor I love learning how other actors get into character. What do they do? What do they think of? What is there inner object? Who and/or what is their replacement? Do they stay in character for hours? Days? Weeks? So many are so convincing and absolutely believable that I would think they actually lived as their

Teskey's: So Much More Than a Ranch Store

2011-02-03T17:13:00.003-06:00

.......Walk in and smell the leather. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......... People from all over the world shop at Teskey's Saddle Shop & Bootique, literally. Not only because customers can shop with Teskey's via their website, but because they drive long distances just to take a look at the 80,000 square foot store. Their website has many items that a wide array of people would enjoy. Things such

I "LIKE" Your Post!......

.......maybe even love it a little...... .....There have been so many posts on Twitter and Facebook that make me laugh, smile and remind me that I have a devilish sense of humor. I have thought about putting them in a blog so many times and I am finally doing it. As always, I will give credit where credit is due. I also may add a little commentary from myself. It's my blog and

Wind, Snow & Ice......

2011-02-01T21:59:00.001-06:00

.......this ain't no disco...... Another snow that brings in the ice. This time the wind decided to join the party and man what a party! The three of these guys mixed it up so much that majority of people just had to skip school and work so that they could be part of the winter get together of the coolest of the cool. For me and my family it was the coolest of the cool in Cool. I have lived

Creative and Touching

2010-06-30T09:42:00.002-05:00

My fellow blogger and cousin Jake Felts (blogger name Felts Photography Blog) posted the above Youtube video on facebook. I normally don't click on people's video posts from Youtube, but Jake has a knack for finding really good ones. Well, this particular video definately did not disappoint! When I first clicked on the play button and saw the first 15 seconds I thought,"Wow! This guy can sing. I

Projects - Time Management = All jobs half done

2010-04-09T11:32:00.001-05:00

.........."We shall never have more time. We have, and always had, all the time there is." - Arnold Bennett Many people in this country today have several jobs whether you are paid for it or not. There are the full and part time jobs that you are paid for, there are things to do for yourself, house, children, family, friends, church school and so many other things. We all have goals which

Necessary Editing?

2010-01-10T23:49:00.000-06:00

..........are some things in a book better left out of the film?...... I really enjoy reading Entertainment Weekly. It is informative about upcoming films, DVD releases, music, books and much more. You know what else I like about it? I will give you a hint: It's what they leave out. All of the celebrity gossip and paparazzi junk. You know, the negative and mostly false stuff. Any who, I

Book vs. Film

2010-01-07T15:34:00.000-06:00

..........To read first or to watch first?.....That is the question. The above is what I posted in my facebook status last week and I received many opinions. The results were unanimous, read because the book is always better. I will agree that the book is almost always better than the movie, but I'm not in complete agreement that you should read first. Let me explain my answer so you may

Dear Motivation........

2009-12-28T21:28:00.001-06:00

.......O Motivation, Motivation! Wherefore art thou, motivation? Seriously, I want to know. Where in the hell are you?! I need you. I want you. But you are never here! Why can't you show up just as easily as the extra fat on my love handles do? Or the dimples on my derriere? If you were around half as much as I needed you, I wouldn't have nature's permanent tattoos (aka stretch marks)

So Many Cheesecakes!

2009-12-27T23:43:00.001-06:00

There are so many cheesecakes and this one is easy!........ I love cheesecake! I mean love, love, love it! I love it so much that watching The Golden Girls makes my mouth water for it. Everytime they sit down in the kitchen in the wee hours of the morning and pull a cheescake out of the refrigerator I feel envy. Envy for the wonderfully close relationships, but mainly because they are

A Must Read for Actors......Part I

2009-12-27T11:34:00.002-06:00

Acting in Film: An Actor's take on Movie Making by Michael Caine......... ......Yes, actor Michael Caine wrote a book about what he knows best, being someone else. I came across this book at a Half Price Books in Fort Worth. After reading a few paragraphs I knew I had to buy it. After reading the first chapter it was obvious that understanding and listening to his advice would be a fantastic

My daughter wants to be a chef....... ......My husband and I encourage our children to do their best and always try their hardest, especially in whatever they are interested in. Our middle child wants to be a chef. She absolutely loves to cook and is actually very good, especially for her age. She and our oldest daughter recently participated in our areas 4-H food show.
