Newest Guilty Pleasures

Dexter
Dude- this show is Disturbing. But I can't get enough of it. It's about this Forensic Investigator, Dexter Morgan, who kills people who have done bad things. It is- again- disturbing. They have dirty language, dirty content and gory scenes, but I love that Michael C. Hall.

Strawberry Peanut Butter M&M's
These are deLICIOUs! They're the wonderful heavenly taste of Peanut Butter M&M's with the slight flavor of strawberry. MMmmmm.....

Drop Dead Diva
This show is great. I never want it to end. It's about this 24 year old model who dies when her car crashes into a grapefruit truck and is brought back to earth in the body of a 32 year old, chunky- monkey lawyer. She's got the over all personality of the model but the smarts of the lawyer.

City of Bones
I don't know if anyone else would like this book. I do- but that means squat with our family. There are demons and their hunters and crazy creepy guys called the Silent Brothers.... good times.

Gotthard
Gotthard's Lift U Up is the catchiest toe tapper that I've heard. It is so much fun and- well Jaxx loves it and that's what matters.

.... I'm boring....

Keith My Paithy White-Butt


Noted Archaeologist, Fred Flinsteen, Made an amazing discovery in today Sweden. On a wind swept fjord, he came across some primitive musical instruments and some miniscule deposits of fossilied stool. When asked what the stool could be, Flinsteen replied, "A-dabba ABBA doo."

Colin Mochrie couldn't make me laugh harder.

You Sold My House?!

Oooo- oh! ARGH- this upsets me so bad for some reason.

You know times are tough when people are getting kicked out of their house when it’s not even for sale.

That’s what happened to Anna Ramirez after she found all of her stuff out on the front lawn of her Homestead home last week and a strange man demanding she get out of his newly purchased house.

The eviction came after Ramirez’s home was mistakenly auctioned off to the highest bidder by her bank, Washington Mutual (yes, we know WaMu is now Chase, but we're in denial). Usually, you get a warning before you get the boot. A foreclosure letter. Maybe a sign saying your house is up for sale. Not Ramirez, who found her belongings bashed and battered in the street.

"This came out of nowhere," Ramirez said. "The bank took the house from right under my feet."

The man who bought the house told Ramirez he paid $87,000 for it, which shocked Ramirez, who bought the house for $260,000.

What's worse is her husband, daughter and grand children were also kicked out by Homestead and Miami-Dade police officers, said Martha Taylor, who witnessed the unexpected eviction.

"I have never seen anything like it," Taylor said. "They literally threw all her stuff on the front lawn. I didn't sleep that night and it wasn't even my house."

Ramirez and her family had three hours to get out of the house, police ordered. They had to stash their belongings at multiple locations and shacked up with a friend for the night as cops chained the doors of their home. With Taylor's help, Ramirez appeared before a judge two days later to explain what happened.

"I had all my stuff scattered everywhere," she said. "They did this in front all my neighbors. It was so embarassing."

A mistake in the Miami-Dade Clerk's Office appears to be behind the mishap, which landed Ramirez homeless for more than 24 hours.

The sale was eventually reversed by a Miami-Dade judge, allowing Ramirez to return to her old digs. Ramirez said she wants to sue for the damage to her furniture.

Ramirez has lived in the house for three years and recently refinanced the home with the bank.

"This shouldn't be happening, you know, because we did the right thing," she said. "We went step by step."

This almost made me puke. Could you imagine if it happened to you?
