Not so gr-r-r-eat!

Don't get me wrong, I think Michael Phelps has earned every endorsement deal he's going to get. But, Frosted Flakes? C'mon. Just because Mikey likes it, doesn't mean it's good for you!
Give that mom a medal
Monday, Aug. 18, 2008
I managed to see just a few of Michael Phelps' races last week, including the record-breaking 400 IM relay. As a mother, I couldn't help be impressed by Debbie Phelps who did a remarkable job of holding her stuff together while her son made sports history.
That could have been me up there

Believe it or not, I had a shot at becoming an Olympic medalist — a real live, Nike-endorsed, bling-bedecked superstar. If only I had worked up to my potential.
My favorite Olympic moment
Friday, Aug. 8, 2008
This clip is making the rounds on the Web today and I share it with you just in case you remain ambivalent about the 2008 Summer Olympics. Seriously, I have chills from head to toe and I've watched it three times...

Who'd have thunk it? Paris Hilton has a wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humor!
Flipping out over the Olympics
Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2008
I can't wait for the opening ceremonies of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad on Friday night in beautiful (albeit smog-burdened) Beijing. As luck would have it, I leave for vacation the next morning. (Can you say 'unfortunate timing'?) Now, I need to find a way to get my Oly's fix while on the road.

"Geezers" boffo at box office

Great essay by a 30-something in the LA Times today on the staying power of Meryl Streep and other "seasoned stars." Makes me more determined to fit a "Mamma Mia" screening into my immediate future.
Is secret spending a form of marital infidelity?
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Do you wait until your husband is out of the house to sneak new purchases into the back of your closet? If so, there are people in the world who think you're cheating - yes, cheating! - on your spouse. It's called "financial infidelity" and many of us (I'm not naming any names) are, apparently, guilty as sin.
An hour a day keeps the LB's away

Today's BBC story has confirmed what I realized some months ago but chose to ignore - it takes more than 40 minutes a day on the treadmill to lose weight. ARGH!!!!
Fish phobia flashback
Sunday, July 27, 2008
No matter how hard I try, I can’t get the visual of feet-eating fish out of my head. That’s right, I said “feet-eating fish.” Tiny carp that nibble the dead skin off your tootsies, like the ones being used in an Alexandria, Virginia, nail salon as a piscine prelude to the “deluxe” pedicure.
Dear John, say it isn't so!

I've been hit with a miserable summer sinus infection so I'm crankier than usual, but the John Edwards "love child" story - breaking now on Fox News after the National Enquirer got the scoop - has me seeing red!
Another reason to put them on speakerphone
Friday, July 25, 2008
When the head of a respected cancer institute sends a memo to 3,000 staff members, because of a "growing body of literature linking long-term cell phone use to possible adverse health effects including cancer," you can bet I'm going to wake up and pay attention.
